You are correct. Make sure to up the trample DC if strength changes since it is a STR based DC. Yes again. Rakes are an odd attack because their to hit bonus is the same as a primary claw attack, but the damage is dealt as though they were secondary weapons. Right, rhinos are nasty on a...

Jesterpoet listen to Staffan, I goofed my math. 9/2 =4.5, 9+4=13, not 12. Though it did involve division and a fraction so it was a little harder than 3x3. *hangs head in shame* Enjoy summoning dire wolves and lions at every chance you get. They are bad ass meat shields. Prepare to...

With those English and Spanish majors they didn't push much math on you did they? :) Just do what Diirk says above and all things will be fine. Though in some cases where the creature has only one attack you still need to do the math to calculate the str bonus to damage. A dire wolf has a str...

Hey folks, I'm also going to be relocating to San Diego in the near future. If you need an extra to make a group maybe we could work something out.

Teleport, Wall of Force, and Feeblemind. Teleport is useful for utility travel aspects and to get past obstacles but in a pinch it can be a useful combat spell. Touch the enemy and send him 1000 miles away. Wall of Force can very effectively divide a battlefield and much of 3rd edition is...

I'm going to be moving from San Francisco to San Diego in the middle of December. I'd like to try to find a gaming group soon after my wife and I get moved. Anyone looking for another player or know where to meet other gamers in San Diego?

I got a chance to see the Incredibles at Pixar yesterday. It was amazing, Pixar does as great a job with super heroes as it has done with fish, bugs, monsters, and toys. The visuals were awesome and the story was solid and quite funny. If you like super heroes or Pixar movies run out to see...

I really don't know why they made the jump all the way from 1:1 to 2:1. Wouldn't it have been more instyle of the rules to go to 1:1.5? Or did they just want to make the math easier? You get 50% more out of your strenght when using a 2 handed weapon why do you get 100% more when you power attack?

Can anyone tell me what happened in the last two episodes. I've unfortunately missed them both and feel behind. Thanks!

You are a font of knowledge Hypersmurf! I wasn't sure if any animals like a bat, rat, or cat would have a con lower than 10 so I was hedging by saying very few. Looks like there are none. But it is still something to worry about if you go from a 19 Con brown bear to a 12 Con eagle, minimum of...

Don't look at the stat blocks from the Rules of the Game article. There are a few contradictions and errors there. 1. If you turn into a black bear you would replace your physical stats with: 19 str, 13 dex, and 15 con. In 3.5 when your con changes in polymorph, wild shape or shapechange...

Are the desiginers trying to make turning undead useless? This mainly applies to the Monster Manual 3 Undead. Almost all of whom have hit dice at least twice their CR. Boneclaw CR 5, 10 Hd +2 Turn Resistance Bonedrinker CR 6, 11 Hd Charnelhound CR 13, 21 Hd Deathshrieker CR 15, 18 Hd +4 Turn...

If you have a Shifter druid with the razorclaw trait who can wildshape into a bear and has the Great Rend feat can they use the rend on the bears claw attacks? Or are shifter feats like Great Rend, Great Bite, and Shifter Multiattack only useful while shifting? I know that you can't shift...

1. The Empire Strikes Back- From the opening of Luke getting bushwacked by the Wampa and the AT-AT battle to the final duel in the carbon freezing chambers of Cloud City this is by far my favorite. 2. Return of the Jedi- Say what you will about the Ewoks, I don't let them take away from the...

Depending on if you have access to the Draconomicon, Expertise and then Sense Weakness could be very useful for getting through DR without the need for a golf bag full of long swords.

I'm the player in question. Just going to list what I spent my power points on during the day. (4th lv Human Seer) 1 PP Inertial Armor, 6 PP 2x Object Reading, 1 PP Synthenstate, 2 PP Vigor, 4 PP Energy Ray (missed), 3 PP Concussion Blast, 4 PP Energy Ray (hit), 1 PP Energy Ray (Hit) = Leaves...

I would skip Expansion as your first power. With the erratta it would only last 1 round. It might be a good power to take at 4+ level when you can extend the duration to 10 min/level. Inertial Armor or Force Screen are probably good 1st level powers to take right off the bat. I'm not sure...

Can you share what disipline you are leaning toward? I would make different suggestions based on disipline. Though there are a few powers no psion should go without. 1st: Vigor, Inertial Armor or Force Screen, 2nd: Concussion Blast (force damage is good to have vs those nasty incorporeal...

Good topic! Feng Shui Amber Alternity (so much you could do with this, I tried to run my own homemade StarCraft game once, it worked ok) Star Wars d6 (I wish I had time to still play this one, I like the d6 version better than the d20, it just feels more Star Wars) Amber Spycraft (played this...

I think that in light of psionics granting access to 4 energy types that Energy Substitution needs to come back to 3.5. Though I'm going to bet that you can only choose fire, cold, electricity, and acid. No more easy sonic substitution for the arcane casters.
