    Reved-up Ioun Stone...

    Yea, I remember that they stack too. Take especial note that an Ioun stone is priced as a slotless item... and so there's nothing against making a very similiar slotless item that does NOT circle in an inane fashion around your head. Fortunately for the interpretation of this instance, two...

    Universal Spring Attack: Has anyone tried this?

    Well, BAB + D20 as a DC modifier. Rogues Tumble score would be Dex mod + (level + 3) + d20. d20's cancel out. Level's cancel out. So the rogue would have a tumble ability of Dex Mod + 3 for any given level. Assume a dex mod of +4 for a rogue that's really concentrating on dex over...

    Can you choose to stop your movement in mid-air?

    I'd say no higher ground bonus, due to the inherent instability of being in the air. Even if you aren't hanging in the air as with a levitate spell.

    Can you choose to stop your movement in mid-air?

    NO. No you cannot. You don't actually get a "turn" per se, you're never hanging in mid air even if your movement ends with you in midair. All that happens in that case is that we stop focusing on your move for the six second sequence in question and we move on to someone elses. That person...

    Chicken Mage!

    Me either. That is so awesomely evil, I love it. It's definitely going to find it's way into one of my stories sometime.

    The Weird Penalty of Core Classes

    Yea, it's there, and just about the stupidest RAW rule out there IMO. I'll agree with your first sentance, however the rule is clearly not working as designed, it's having the exact opposite effect! You now are required to multiclass more, and dip more, thereby min/maxxing further. One of...

    Universal Spring Attack: Has anyone tried this?

    Ahh... so you DON'T actually use tumble. As BAB + D20 leaves the tumbling rouge wasting skill points on the ability in order to remain no better at tumbling against the fighter than he was at level one, while the fighter doesn't have to do ANYthing to gain this benifit. Seriously, it's less...

    Duergar with 2 Charisma

    It does meantion it, it does. Clearly on the other hand that part of the entry is antiquated and a holdover from when the definition of the charisma stat was, well, realated to overal actual Charisma, the word. Now charisma has game mechanics to it, and those game mechanics aren't related to...

    Duergar with 2 Charisma

    I suggest you ignore appearance, as charisma doesn't really relate to appearance anymore. However the character would have a really weak AURA, people would instinctively ignore or dislike him. He's have a poor ability to enforce his will upon the world, couldn't convince people to do anything...

    Most Common House Rules

    Well, to be fair it can be statistically proven that it can make a difference who rolls the dice, and what dice are rolled. Since manufactured dice are never perfectly manufactured, and it's possible to have a person who can roll the dice to grant better odds for at least some of the dice...

    Is the Bard broken?

    Yes. The bard class is broken. Note that there are two potential meanings of the phrase, and I personally mean it in both ways. Broken could mean too powerful. I do believe that the bard is too powerful in some campaign/circumstances. Broken could mean too weak. I certainly believe that in...

    Universal Spring Attack: Has anyone tried this?

    If I were to have this in the game, I'd want to include a new feat: "Pounce", which grants the pounce ability. Of course, everyone would take it. But still.

    How far have you gone in a base class?

    This was my very first thought. I picked 11-15. However I feel it's important to note that don't often play games above level 15 (the times I have it's been with a multiclassed/PrC'd character). But I have played a straight wizard (This is the only class I've ever played straight with no...

    Can I do this with alter self?

    Hrm. I've now read those rules through, and I'll admit that I really like them.

    Scaling +2/+2 Skills

    Ah, if you additionally change the feat to make the skills in the feat class skills, that's a whole different dimension. I see feats AS special training to learn a skill, it's just special training to learn a skill in a different manner than the skill point system, which is why I stated that...

    Low Con and Hit Points: Reducing the Sting

    My first comment is that it took me a while (and the reading of comments to the proposal) before I actually understood what you were saying. I think I do now, but it wasn't entirely clear what you were representing on the table. An example would have been nice. For instance, I now believe that...

    Profession (Gambling)

    Now, cheating's fun. I personally grant a synergy bonus to Profession: Gambler for ranks in Sleight of Hand. Additionally this is one of the few combinations where I'll let you run both moneymaking attempts at the same time. Yes, you can not only try to make money from gambling, getting the...

    Profession (Gambling)

    I use a 70 - 30 split, with the house winning 70% of the time. This is the general statistic for casino's nowdays anyhow. When someone wants to play for actual stakes, I will let them, but I'll vary the results myself, by varying the opponents based on a semi-random scale. Don't worry...

    Can I do this with alter self?

    That's an interesting one... but really to be consistent/balanced you'd have to apply such rules to all spells. Making the spell True Strike much much more useless at first level. And what's the numerical bonus of flight? And what about land speed? A 50 land speed is a bonus of +20...

    Shadowdancer Question

    It can't possibly be a REAL undead, as it has the alignment of it's master and it is completely immune to all turning. But it's treated as an undead in every other way, so... ... .. .. . . I'd feel free if I were the SD to tell the cleric that it simply isn't an undead, and "prove" it to here...
