    Thanks Vegepygmy!

    How the H does Pinning work?

    What I meant was after I make the pin check, do I need to make another pin check the following round to see if he is still pinned? For the Choke Hold feat it requires that I successfully pin an opponent for 1 round to force a Save or Unconscious effect, when do I determine that the pin has been...

    How the H does Pinning work?

    About to start a new game and I've got a grapple beast planned out (using oriental adventures) but even the 'Grapple Guide for Dummies' didn't help me understand pinning. Character; ECL 3 (monk 1 [stunning fist], fighter 1 [imp. grapple], feral template) regional feat: jotunbrud (powerful...

    Base Save vs. Iron Will

    Ah, see that is something... I don't know if anyone in our party has Fiendish Codex I (or II for that matter). However, he is using the Book of Vile Darkness which specifies; Base Will save bonus +5, 15 Int, 15 Cha. I'll have to check out the FCI thing though - thank you for the possible work...

    Base Save vs. Iron Will

    That is a nice quick way into it, unfortunately for my player he is using a different base class that won't boost his base Will save so fast, or so nicely! I meant that comment in regards to him - but even still, I didn't realize it could be achieved so quickly either. I did figure it would be...

    Poison Questions I got

    Just reading that, it could be argued that Sneak Attack should be Evil then as it meets that description if done under the right circumstances :devil:. Just a thought. But in regards to poison, yes I agree with your reasoning there. Periapt of Proof Against Poison eh? Now is that all poison...

    Base Save vs. Iron Will

    Thanks for the replies everyone. Like I said I was pretty sure I had it right, and after some more discussion we now have it worked out how it should be. He wasn't so much trying to munchkin it up as trying to find a way into Dark Speech faster as his chosen class uses a slow Will...

    Base Save vs. Iron Will

    I'm pretty sure I have this right but not sure where to find validation; I have a player asking me if the Iron Will feat adds the +2 to Will saves to his Base Save score because it is an unnamed bonus, and this is his reasoning; Base Attack and Save Bonuses The base attack bonus and base...

    Poison Questions I got

    1) Not sure - in our game poison use isn't inherently evil. Only reason I can come up with is that it causes undue suffering - much like why we can't carry hollow point rounds while deployed. Your adamantine bastard sword is a known variable, the poison coating the blade isn't. 2) Not that I...

    Build Validity?

    Found it! Thanks for the heads up!

    Build Validity?

    I was unaware of this ACF and will be looking into it pronto! Wow! so a +8 level advancement on monk unarmed damage between that feat and magic item, that is insane!

    Build Validity?

    Ah, see I overlooked that the Soul Blade didn't actually manifest any powers (...3am thing), and as pointed out won't work. Seemed it would fit just from being a psionic class. Too bad. Not worried about being over powered but with it being a low magic level campaign (...where casting...

    Build Validity?

    Probably has been conceptualized before me, but I just got an idea around building a Monk/Soul Blade with the Tashalatora feat from Secrets of Sarlona and then tacking on Vow of Poverty for a low magic, slow xp progression campaign we're going to start soon. Would it work? It's cheddar, but is...

    D&D 3.x 3e was a failure

    Wouldn't that be nice... seriously, I'd really like that.

    D&D 3.x 3e was a failure

    The only thing I don't like about 3e is that some things were greatly expanded upon, like having 30 odd different races of Elf between all settings plus all their racial weapons, and others were not - I can only think of 2 Orc weapons; double-axe and shot put. I don't like the rules around...

    D&D 3.x 3e was a failure

    ...No, Gygax had to compete with me playing kick-ball, or riding BMX, or making couch forts, or riding my dirt bike, or going shooting with my dad, or hiking, or to the lake, or skiing, or (yes) NES/Saga, or playing hockey/real football, or trying to get to second base, etc... He did not win on...

    Death & XP Earned

    Water Bob; Yep, I'm gonna have to check it out. Hopefully it's more 'Conan the Barbarian' versus 'Conan the Destroyer' cause Barbarian was so much better than Destroyer... I haven't seen the new Conan movie yet, but I want to.

    Death & XP Earned

    lol that is hardcore - and I like that better than giving back full xp from the encounter. Makes more sense in my mind - I try to give them what they would have earned up until death though. A little more work on my part, but I like it. ...I've heard a lot of good things about the Conan game...

    Death & XP Earned

    Well I'm glad you can see what I mean, the point of it being such a stupid example was just to point out the xp gain one could receive even after dying. I know that was over the top and completely implausible - I'd never allow true rez's to be that accessible either - but it shows why I dislike...

    Death & XP Earned

    That's cool if you run it how the book says - I personally don't agree with it, but other people take umbrage with different rules that don't bother me... Even if I guesstimated on the low side of the xp, I tend to award far more bonus xp then they'd lose by my death/xp method. In a grossly...
