Oh yea, I remember that debate... Of course in specific now we're getting into territory where it would be fun (read: evil) to point out that Cure Light Wounds also gets a will save unless you voluntarily give it up...

You definitely have to he weilding the weapon (holding it unsheathed in your hand), but other than that I'd say that it could always give the AC bonus. It's a pretty pricey bonus all told, if you look at it objectively. Still, I once had a mage who had a magical mithril buckler (no ASF) and a...

I'm not certain what you're refering to about not penalizing anything... the non-linear point buy style penalizes the overall modifier score of a character who chooses to have an ability score higher than 14, as opposed to the linear style I was referring to, which does not penalize either...

I disagree, a hero, while not defined soley by ability scores, is indeed in large part defined by having those scores as a base. THE best is different than "ok". Sure, an ok person gan be fun and challenging.... but now you're asking for fun and challenge, not a hero! And my suggested system...

Only if your point was either the same as mine, or completely tangential to mine... that particular point buy method is more consistent than random.. and since the point buy method I'm talking about can be altered to give as many or as few points as you think is appropriate, it's either more or...

Sure. Or for people who want that 18 in (primary stat) and still want to have all 10's... or want to have that 18 and yet also get a high charisma for purely roll playing reasons, without overly sacrificing from secondary stats. (I've done this before, I wanted a leader type, I wanted him to...

Answer: Nobody would. And, in general, nobody *should*, even without that item. It's a waste of money if you have an arcane caster around, when you could just pay 1K and get him to cast it on you an extra time each day (pearl of power level one for the extra casting. You KNOW he's already...

If you use the rules for adding an enchantment to a ring, (+50% to the cost) adding featherfall to another ring is always an important safety precaution... and not really all that expensive... Of course, a feather fall *token* is even cheaper. Being a one use item and all. And really, how often...

Actually, the rules are pretty crystal clear on this. Rage lasts for (newly adjusted) Con mod +3 rounds (+more for specific feats), OR until dropped. That's what the rules state. Dropping it is a concious action, and cannot be performed unconciously. Of course, I still agree with your second...

Hey, it's also good for killing off those distracting swarms, lighting the campfire at night, an emergency lighting of a torch, killing off that pesky fly that's been bugging you all day... a finishing touch on a regenerating monster. Once a day, of course, so really you'll bypass all sorts of...

Try a point buy method that doesn't penalize the character's for having higher stats. A simple 28 point buy with every stat bought up from 8 at a one per one basis is a pretty good generation method. (Of course, 4d6 drop the lowest is probably still better, but make it a 32 point buy at one...

Or, even better, don't call 'em Grey Elves. Call him an Elf. Treat him as an Elf. His parents wer Elves. ... He can use the stats for Grey Elf if he wants to. He's just born "special". There are probably lots of 'grey elves' in the setting. They're just not formally recognized. It's a...

Ha! Best Workaround EVAR! I'ma gonna use that in the future for if/when people don't like my common sense reason why simply putting a dagger in the bag won't cause either a rip in the time-space continuum OR unbalancing of the game system as we know it, causing gods and demons alike to attack...

And really there's no reason why a simple unsheathed dagger (or blade) would cause the bag to explode. Certainly if the bag were intentionally cut from the inside the bag would rip open, that's there on purpose (so that when you put the druid in and he shapechanges into something with claws he...

While you missed the actual comparison, Point Blank and Far Shot, I still say you've gotten the reason. Point blank shot represents your ability to shoot better... but at this level it's only useful up close. Far shot represents your ability to apply this bonus, sort of, to shooting farther. You...

I'm only going to do this one... mainly because I think the real answer is different from the answer for all the others. The Sudden Metamagic feats exist because normal metamagic sucks. While not everyone may agree with the statement that normal metamagic feats suck, a LOT of people think that...

But it does "enforce stereotypes". As a mage you HAVE to get your INT up to 18 (well, only if you want to be effective, I admit). And so there are no strong mages when you have to sacrifice so very much to get your attributes up. I've found, on the other hand, that a corresponding point buy...

Well, first of all I absoultly hate the "you are not a hero" type of point buy. I want to play a hero! Whereas I completely approve of point buy in general, as long as it doesn't punish you for having higher scores. Secondly, the +2/-2 to attributes already factor in the point buy system...

Nope. But I wanted to go on record recommending against taking more than four levels of the PrC anyhow. (But do take those four!)

At that point I'd personally prefer to be an Eberron WarForged monk. Get the Battlefist. It counts as a +1 weapon, it enhances the monk's natural attack AND his monk attack, and gives the benifit of the Improved Natural Attack feat to the monk's natural attacks and his monk attacks as well...
