DMG 3.5 pg. 25: "If a character specifies a readied action and then decides not to perform the action when the conditions are met, the standard rule is that the character can keep his action readied. Because combat is often confusing and fast, however, you're within your rights to make it a...

If you were trying to make a single move and then an attack action, this would be correct. But a charge is a single full-round action that includes up to a double move and a single attack at the end of the movement. I'd allow it--in fact, I'd say that a jumping charge is the only way to attack a...

Love it, love it, love it. There's no doubt it's a little bit of a power-down from the wildshaping druid, but the bookkeeping reduction is so worth it. My druid is getting close to 9th level, and I've really enjoyed playing him so far. (At 10th, I plan to multi-class into a variant Nature's...

In what way? That's the question here, and it's not clear what the answer is. As described, the spell only affects the four spells listed, and the value seems very limited. If you've obscured the item you've stolen, and someone seeking it looks at you via Arcane Eye, Clairvoyance, Scry, or...

Boy, hope your DM agrees that your behavior was insufficiently lawful during first level for you to maintain your LG alignment, but insufficiently chaotic to move you all the way to CG. Just seems like a tough thing to pin your multiclassing path to ...

If you can stand being Lawful Neutral. Personally, I'd fall on my siangham.

Um, what? Acid Splash, Disrupt Undead, Ray of Frost, and Touch of Fatigue. Not exactly a huge or varied spell list, but it's there ... PHB2 pg. 24. [Edit: Oh--you were probably looking at Chapter 4, New Spells. That lists only the spells that aren't in the PHB: the full Duskblade spell list is...

Nope. Look at the last line under 'Fighting Defensively as a Standard Action' on PHB 3.5 pg. 140. The bonus from Combat Expertise and fighting defensively stack; they are, therefore, not the same thing. (On the plus side, your Combat Expertise guy can do both & crank his AC into the...

-8 for Huge is correct. The size bonuses and penalties are listed, of all places, under the Hide skill description. :) (It doesn't keep doubling after Huge, though, BTW. -12 for Gargantuan and -16 for Colossal.)

There's a specific order for leveling events, listed on pg. 58 of the PH 3.5. It goes: 1. Choose Class 2. BAB 3. Base Saves 4. Ability Score 5. Hit Points 6. Skill Points 7. Feats 8. Spells 9. Class Features

I believe that it was Monte Cook (the primary DMG author) who identified that as a core PrC design principle. But it's not a rule of the game ...

I can see the argument for a normal druid. Tetsubo seemed to imply that it was more clear that the effects stack for a druid using the alternate Shapeshift rules from PHB2; but to me, it seems more clear that it doesn't ...

Book has 3/4 BAB, same as a cleric.

Yes, but don't multiple magical effects that increase size not stack? I don't see how these two effects evade that restriction ... This would actually be an enourmous power-up, as a Huge/Long creature has 10' reach. And yes, my druid is taking INA(bite) at 9th level, I didn't miss that one. ;)

Even if your Shapeshift changes your size? My DM recently ruled that it doesn't, and FWIW, I agree with him. I can Shapeshift into Predator form and be a Large Predator with help from the wizard, but when I shift into Ferocious Slayer, Large is as big as I get.

Yeah, that Ur-priest does look messed up. Fortunately, it looks like it's impossible to qualify. Feat requirement is Spell Focus (evil); but the Spell Focus feat indicates that you 'choose a school of magic'. Evil is a descriptor, not a school, so it's not an option for Spell Focus. Whew!

Thought about adding a poll, but don't even have thoughts on what to include. So ... What do you think are the most poorly balanced prestige classes that have come out for D&D 3.5? WOTC, third-party, whatever. Which ones are most likely to ruin a game if they're allowed? No, I'm not trying to...

Obviously, the Black Knight in MPatHG had a very high Dexterity ...

Paladin 12, actually ...
