    Barbarians VS Fighters

    Only partially true. Two levels of fighter isn't going to give you the bonus saves (+3 to reflex is pretty good). And I'm assuming that you've already gotten the basic two levels of fighter out of the way, so two more levels nets you only one feat and at most +3 points in saves, whereas two...

    Resisting Diplomacy

    However, I feel the need to add that someone with a high diplomacy, bluff, sense motive and intimidate (see MindBender PrC) and enough time could very likely convince you to do ANYthing. Especially if he charms you first. Brainwashing can happen. Eventually he should be able to drop the charm...

    Resisting Diplomacy

    Resist with opposed diplomacy (they know that he's just smooth-talking by experience, they recognize a fellow) or sense motive (they sense that the person is not sincere, or the real motivations behind the person's talking). Also, just because they're friendly or even actively...

    Ranged Trip Attack

    Heheh. Further looking at this reminds me of the 'fact' that the trip maneuver, as written, has nothing to do with tripping (which would be an opposed dex, logically) and everything to do with making a modified grapple and throwing the opponent down (which is obviously an opposed strength).

    Ranged Trip Attack

    I... err... um... Well, see, the thing is, the bola is a ranged weapon. It does have a certain tensile strength, yes, I assume that. However it does not use the throwers strength at all. Therefore in an arguement that states you would need the force (strength) to bring him down, the only...

    How terrible is the multiclass XP penalty?

    Well, according to RAW the character keeps his mental stats, and adjusts his physical stats. A 'favored race' is a mental stat, and so by RAW the character maintains his old favored race. Now, ignoring that, the penalty of not playing by RAW and altering the mental stats of the character so as...

    DR 10/Good?

    Unless those characters are angels... (But then you have an entirely different problem)

    Barbarians VS Fighters

    I agree that the answer to your question is situational. However, I'm going to answer fighter based on the assumption that you want the one who'll be most useful in the most situations. While a potential barbarian will be better in some situations, a potential fighter will be better in a great...

    Throwing vs. Archery

    AND unless he alters the returning enchantment so that you can "throw" and have returned more than one item per round. It's not too big an alteration. I think (off the top of my head) I'd recommend a "scabbard of recieving" that automatically catches a returned item... perhaps that becomes...

    Strength & Weakness Of Ability Stats

    Just the right town adventure for a mid level campaign? I mean, you can make up a custom race for it if you want to... Or just a custom lifestyle.

    Throwing vs. Archery

    It's not actually. There's a price listed, and it weight in at a lot more than any other ammo, too.

    <>How much evil could good endure before becoming evil?

    First of all, as an alignment question, this is of course going to be controversial. Second of all. ... This is not a good/evil world. There is a neutral middle ground. And a neutral person can do a LOT of evil. Assuming he also does a lot of good, he's still neutral. It's not all black and...

    Swapping feats... Does an item exist to do this?

    There you go, there's a psionic one. You can alternatively just make one up. You are going to have to "make it up" anyhow, really. Unless you have them meet a friendly Psion.

    Disable Device - How do you know you have only just failed?

    You're not 'completely' wrong. I let players take a 20 too. Now, what RigaMortis says is true, there is text saying that "you can't". However, the text goes on to explain WHY you can't. And seriously, saying "You can't" attempt something that you clearly can attempt is just railroading. The...

    Reactive movement

    I like them. I like "Hit the Deck" best (I also like the name "Rand" by the way...) Ahem Interestingly enough, I'm going to press the idea of some movement out of turn to my gaming group later on, probably next game (As a player. I'm just going to say "I do this" and watch the ensuing chaos...

    Throwing vs. Archery

    It depends a lot on your definition of "better" And adding XBows and slings in with bows is almost insulting to the bows. Throwing is seriously underpowered compared to a good bow. The XBow I think it about right, not as good as a bow, but not meant to be. The sling they simply shafted. Yet...

    An Item a day

    Pick-up-Sticks I sometimes like to have actual, physical props for magic items. It can be fun. It's especially fun at first, when you lay out an item on the table and tell them that "you find this". A player reaches for it and you say "So YOUR character picks it up?" It's fun to watch them...

    Help with a player constantly changing characters

    I think this is an excellent suggestion. Could be a fun way to approach it. I might also suggest ... loosening ... the level requirements. Coming in as a forth level character when the rest of the group is level six might make it hard for him to think his shiney new character is 'good enough'...

    Entangle needs nerfing...

    Yea, that's a powerful spell alright. It'll affect even pretty high level parties. In fact, as a GM I'm saving it for one special night when the PC's turn 15 or so (so that they could actually potentially fly), and they go after the BBEG that's they released (accidentally of course) at first...
