    Willingly Be Sneak Attacked

    That's where you're different than me, I suppose. I wouldn't have those thoughts... Of course, if I did a week in town would probably do the trick. Get healed over and over until the DC is one. I hardly think it would be anything as momentous as a feat. People learn to like and even grow...

    Warforged slam as secondary natural attack?

    Or a head-butt. Or a knee kick to the groin. A slam attack is to natural attacks as monk attacks are to BAB based attacks.

    Willingly Be Sneak Attacked

    Obviously I agree that someone can leave themselves open to a sneak attack intentionally. I don't agree that it would *always* require any self control or restraint however. This I disagree with. Assuming that *you know* that this is healing you, you'd not only completely allow your friend to...

    Periapt of Resilience (help me price?)

    First of all I'd make the item a +2 unnamed bonus to fort saves, and price it at 10K (pricing it as an item that duplicates a feat). The Greater one I'd probably price at 25K... or just not allow. But since you're calling this a resistance bonus, so that it won't stack with cloaks of...

    Need help with aligment

    Well, alignments are highly controversial. I personally suggest that people not GET alignments unless/untill they've commited a fair amount to that alignment side. IE most people will detect as (and be) neutral. Therefore the Detect Evil spell will still be useful, but really only on higher...

    Improved Unarmed Strike + Grappling

    A pretty good reason. However, allow me to retort. I'm getting that the campaign alignment restrictions say you have to be good. Ok, so good you are. Now as a monk you have to be Lawful. Of course. However, you don't have to STAY lawful. In fact, that's one of the best roll playing excuses to...

    Thoughts on Bards?

    Bards can extremely useful, very interesting (in the right campaign), and VERY fun. That being said I don't like 'em. They're not my style. They may not be your style. You could certainly try. They also certainly aren't "powerful" when it comes to fights. Well, allow me to suggest the best...

    About the myth or fact (?) of needing magical items

    I'll admit that it was an unfairly wide generalization. One very well *could* play 3.X with low magic and without changing the actual rules. They'd be constrained to avoid most pre-written modules, and there would be a LOT more work for the GM in avoiding certain enemies that really assume...

    Willingly Be Sneak Attacked

    Sure, I'd say you could do it. Technically. Conceptually I don't think the GM should allow it anyhow.

    Improved Unarmed Strike + Grappling

    I can't think of any reason NOT to take a level of monk. (Well, what race is this fighter, that might be a reason). Sure, you lose a BAB, but only one, and you get so much for it. I'd personally take up to four levels of monk, you can do that with only losing a single BAB, and you get so very...

    About the myth or fact (?) of needing magical items

    I have to agree here. As a GM you can indeed tailor your game to the amount of magic the party has. And it's certainly more balanced without some single use magic items.

    About the myth or fact (?) of needing magical items

    Don't worry, that's pretty common. Usually it's because I haven't managed to actually express what I'm talking about sufficiently... either that or I just THINK that because I'm arrogant. Either way it must be true! Of course, it does make me wonder a little bit about what points exactly you're...

    About the myth or fact (?) of needing magical items

    Extremely weak in comparison to what the game system the way it is written suggests they be fighting. They will still be strong compared to non-magical humans. Really I say it depends on what you're talking about. You're asking if D&D can be played well low magic. The answer is a resounding...

    Cursed Items Thread

    Vampiric sword... The sword always hits, but if your attack would normally miss, it adjusts the roll upwards until it would hit, and takes 1HP from you for every point it adjusted (It only threatens a critical if an actual critical threat was rolled). Sword of Sight. As long as the sword being...

    Crazy Multiclassing Idea

    This is pretty much exactly 2nd Ed multiclassing, with the caveat that you don't *have* to do everything at once, and you're not limited in type/amount of multiclassing.

    Would you allow half-races?

    Fantasy literature, basically. Well, my simple answer is that orcs and elves are human. Just with a few recessive or dominate genes. Some humans are very, very dark skinned, some are very light skinned, and apparently some live a long time and have pointed ears (Elves), while some are bigger...

    +3 Defender - Usage

    Yea, I use those enhancements all the time, very good. Of course, once you've gotten +1 insight to AC and saves, you should get +1 luck to AC and saves... But after that the defender enhancement starts looking pretty sweet.

    Charging, Cleave, Spring attack and AoO...

    All I have to say is that invisible dire lemmings is a much cooler scenario than the simple box of puppies. If perhaps harder to accomplish. Now, what if it were an illusion of invisible dire lemmings? One's that, for some reason, the attacker can see? Allow me to answer that 1) Because it...

    Charge!

    I think there is a feat that allows a turn such as described above in a charge OR a run... But I didn't mark it in my head, and I can't give you more than "Maybe". Hopefully someone else can!

    D&D 3.x Dragon Disciple 3.5 Analysis

    Natural Weapons. IMO that cinches the deal right there. Claw/Claw/Bite. Get a monks's belt or armor spikes or some weapon that doesn't require the use of hands, and you've got three extra attacks right there at the end of your BAB based attacks! All at only 5 less than full BAB (and at only 0.5...
