Dagnabbit! I just checked, like, five minutes ago. :mad:

Once the fighter is in his mouth, the croc can do bite damage with a successful grapple check-it doesn't need to roll to hit his AC, so (especially with its size bonus) it has a much higher chance to do damage. But it has to pick--with one attack per round, it can either try to pin (adjusting...

It can be interesting, if the group can handle it. Our party's FrB has an interesting backstory explaining how he got that way, and he warned us all (in character) when we took him into the group about his potential for homicidal rampages ... And he's well aware that it may become necessary for...

Only willing allies are affected by that ability. (CW pg. 35)

I thought the DMG2 was worth the $13 I paid for it at Half-Price Books. The $40 cover price? No, not so much.

If you're playing Eberron (or have those races available), the shifter is a good monk race. +2 Dex, -2 Int and Cha (generally dump stats for a combat monk), and some of the shift types available have great synergy with the monk abilities. (Beasthide, Cliffwalk, and Longstride leap to mind.)...

Worse than that--Thog is a fighter/barbarian. Multi-classing with two classes that have poor will saves is for an enemy caster what a 'Kick Me' sign is to an enemy monk ...

It doesn't, really, because if you aren't so restricted, you can make a regular charge if you want. It might help to think of it as: there's just one action, called 'Charge'. Under normal circumstances, this is a full-round action in which you can move up to twice your speed; when your action...

By RAW, definitely. I'd address concerns about balance by remembering that this greatsword belongs to the Higher Powers That Be, not to whomever picks it up. If a character's running around with an item looted from a ghaele, someone will be stopping by presently to retrieve it. If the borrower...

Yeah, no kidding. I always wondered why people would do that. "Upside: it'll take me twenty seconds instead of thirty seconds to check out next time I buy something here. Downside: it's possible that some hacker will get hold of my credit card number and case me hundreds of hours of work trying...

You know what? I have no idea. I could have sworn there was a rule that a character got reach only from reach weapons of his size; but I can't find it. I blame radioactive decay in my neurons.

See 'Thrown Weapons', PHB pg. 113. Throwing a two-handed weapon requires only one hand, but it's a full-round action, so no iterative attacks would be available, even with Quick Draw ...

Virtually nobody, unless they balanced it some other way. But people still played gnomes and halflings in 3.0, when they had no standard means of getting 10' reach. Weapon sizing rules had some weirdness in 3.0, but I personally think they made it worse with the 3.5 changes ...

Yes, the old 'stealth errata' trick. Of course, this means that those printings of the PHB are actually D&D v. 3.6, and aren't usable in standard 3.5 games. :uhoh:

Evidently. And a 3' halfling gets 10' reach with it, but a 6' human doesn't. Fun 3.5 weapon sizing rule facts to chew on while they fit you with the white 'I-love-me' jacket.

There's some weirdness in the Spring Attack description, which evidently stems from a careless conversion to 3.5. In 3.0, a standard action (with which you could make a single attack) included a single move or move-equivalent action. The SA feat let you split the move into two pieces, one before...

In this thread, at least, it's because of messageboard design. Your .sig only shows up on your first post on a given page. It's a speed/storage thing, I think.

As was recently mentioned in a thread in Rules, Extend Spell is actually a decent feat for Druids. They have a fair number of spells (notably Produce Flame and Goodberry at 1st level) that are worth bumping a level for the doubled duration.

Doesn't look like it to me, actually. "Unless stated otherwise, activating a use-activated item is a standard action or not an action at all ..." (DMG 3.5 pg. 213) The 'not an action at all' would refer to items that work whenever they're worn, or that are 'subsumed in its use ... such as...

:uhoh: Somewhere on these boards is a thread about a party that was trapped in a desert & ran out of food, and ended up eating the druid's companion. The next day, they agreed to stop for the day so the druid could summon a new one; the party unanimously suggested she select a bison for...
