Are you proposing that Unarmed Strikes are not melee weapons, but you can still make melee attacks with them. As strange as it sounds, I think you're right. That would mean though, you could not use an Unarmed Strike when a melee weapon is required (as it may apply to spells, feats, or class...

So if a Monk had Greater Psionic Fist and Greater Psionic Weapon, he could do some impressive damage... Drop his focus for GPF, Psionic Meditation to get his focus back as a Move-Equiv, drop it again for GPW. +8d6 to his damage... wow... Of course what level would he have to be to pull this...

If they are not actively Hiding, you still need to make a Spot check to see them. The check would be: Size (Fine) +16 to Hide +1 per 10 feet away they are from you In the case of the "bacteria" floating in the air... If the creature is invisible, that is a +40 to the DC (+20 if they are...

Depends on your Spot check and their Hide check. Do all Small creatures get a bonus to their Hide skill (I know Gnoms and Halflings do)? What about Tiny creatures?

No you couldn't, because it is invisble (non-magically) or otherwise has some sort of total concealed. You actually have to see the target in order to target it. You can't normally cast/target magic missle on an invisible creature, could you?

And he does... For example. Lets say we have a level 3 character that has an Int 13. Let's assume they maxed out Knowledge (Arcana) +7 (6 ranks, and +1 from intelligence). At level 4 they bump up Intelligence to 14. what happens to Knowledge (Arcana)? It increases to +8 (before buying any...

Can, the Target for Magic Missile is "Up to five creatures, no two of which can be more than 15 ft. apart". Unless the Darkness or Wall are somehow living, can't target them... Doesn't matter though, as the same wording says "Up to five creatures" which tells me it doesn't have to be max...

In 3.5 it is just Weapon Finesse, and it applies to all light weapons (plus a few special ones such as Spiked Chain and Rapier). You do not need to specify a weapon that it applies to. And since unarmed strikes are considered light weapons, Weapon Finesse should apply. "unarmed strike" is...

But isn't the grapple check considered a melee attack?

Two part question... If a Monk takes Weapon Finesse, can he apply it to his unarmed attacks? If the Monk attepts a grapple OR tries to break away from one, can he use his BAB + Dex modifier for the attempt?

Not all the time. I personally think intent determines alignment. Would a person who ponders murder but is afraid to carry it out for fear of getting caught, not be considered evil?

Well, if it acts like spells like Fireball, then I suppose you could lower the damage. But look at Magic Missile. That is a 1st level spell that scales in damage, and I don't beleive you can voluntarily (sp) only fire off one magic missle, can you?

Yes. You can "adjust" your handling on a weapon as a free action. Eldritch Blast by itself does not give the opponent a saving throw. You simply have to make a ranged touch attack with it. When you apply a blast shape or essence to your blast, that effectively "ups" the spell level of...

It would happen if the caster tried to aim the fireball pea through something as small as a keyhole, as given in the description of fireball.

The difference is that the archer is trained through normal means (ie non magical) and the fireball spell is... well... magical... So I would rule he could do it w/o any additional "to hit" rolls. I do agree that a gel cube would be blocking the wall however...

Let's say we have 2 character's both with the Goad feat... BBEF (Big Bad Evil Fighter) attacks the party. Wizard casts Slow on the BBEF. Two characters with the Goad feat flank the BBEF and each use the Goad feat (successfully) on him. What can the BBEF do? He is stuck at making 1 melee...

The Gninja Gnome Sorc 1 / Ninja 8 Attributes: Arrange them anyway you like. The only requirement is that you need a 13 Charisma (minimum) for this to work. Of course a high Dex and Wis is great to have for the Ninja. BAB: +6/+1 However, pulling off this tactic will really grant you 1 attack...

While this isn't exactly what you are looking for, there is a feat called Sidestep in the miniHB which allows you to take a 5' step after you make an Attack of Opportunity (only useable once per round, no matter how many AoOs you make). So it can potentially give you an extra 5' step each...

-2 points of credability... :uhoh:

Ok, I have to ask... The Star Wars kid? Can anyone provide a link to that one? Edit: nevermind... found it myself... Coincidentally, I found this as well: http://www.petitiononline.com/Ghyslain/petition.html
