Well, that explains why I didn't get it in my notes when I was looking it over ... Thanks!

I don't have Races of Stone handy; can anyone share the age category & height/weight info for goliaths?

But you're acting like it's obvious that this is the rule, when it's not. As we're reading the text, it states that in combat, before your first action, you are flat-footed. It does not, on this reading, say anything about having a flat-footed status outside of combat. And personally, one of the...

Can you show where we're wrong in deducing that when you're out of combat, you're not in combat? That's the part of the contra position that seems most difficult to me ...

For the DM or for the players? Actually, I think we all got pretty stinkin' tired of smacking these things down & picking them back up over and over, on both sides. Our DM finally ruled that we could CDG them when they were down with cold and/or divine damage. Our sorcerer was well into her...

Well, it's quite possible that he thinks the standard interpretation of RAW has to be incorrect, because otherwise the skill would be broken. I.e. it's a house rule that's so much better than the more commonly used rule that it's hard, once you're used to it, to even see that it's a house rule.

So? Are you suggesting that falling victim to a trap allows you to move when it's not even your turn? There are specific situations (eg. when being bull rushed) where the rules allow movement on another character's action. But this doesn't appear to be one of them. When the pit trap open under...

Sure he can--just not until his action. Fortunately, he doesn't start falling until his action comes up (see the rules for multi-round long jumps), so there's no problem ...

Well, there's their first mistake ... Wizards would really suck in my games if I ran by that. "I cast magic missile." "You wave your hands and ... nothing happens! Because there's no such thing as real magic spells! Sucker!!"

This isn't RAW, but I've found it simplifies things greatly. Forget all of the stuff about doubling distances, and just look at illumination levels. If you have low-light vision, you count shadowy illumination as brightly lit. The end. So, for example, a torch illuminates 20' brightly and up to...

I think I love you, Hypersmurf.

High Charisma is overrated for Artificers. I'd go with the warforged Artificer, put the 17 in Int and the 15 in Cha. And Adamantine Body for your feat. :)

Well, you don't need one to take 10 when you're not rushed or threatened. But I guess if you're facing down an unknown monster ... I really can't think of anything, other than a whole passel of Rogue levels.

My DM and I worked up a variant Nature's Warrior that had Shapeshift as a prereq instead of Wildshape, and also changed up some of the ability choices to mesh better with the alternate ability. (And fixed some other issues he and I had with the class as written, actually.) I plan to start into...

My feats so far (elven druid 9) are Extend Spell, Empower Spell, Craft Wondrous Item, and Multiattack. Craft Wondrous I mainly use for the rest of the party--just did a Periapt of Wis and a Pearl of Power for myself, and I think a Cloak of Resistance. And the metamagic is handy because our group...

I'm playing one that just hit 9th level ... What do you wish to know? It's a lot simpler to keep track of everything than with a standard druid, that's for sure. [ETA: Here is the last thread on this subject I participated in ...]

Well, remember, Search requires 1 full round for a 5' square, which needs to be within 10' of the searcher. So it's pretty damn hard to Search for a hidden opponent unless you already have a good idea where it is ...

It's been up for a day and a half ... Here is the existing ENWorld thread on #450.

Perhaps just the usual new-comic slowdown? I had to try a few times, but I eventually got in ...

There's nothing in the errata; but IMHO, the Spring Attack wording is a 3.0 -> 3.5 conversion error. The action definitions changed (the standard actions in 3.0 included a move or move-equivalent action of your choice), but the wording of the Spring Attack feat wasn't adjusted to match.
