Well, remember that you can try every combat maneuver without the feat: you just incur in the AOO. The AOO can miss, and not every enemy has combat reflexes. Or ou could be invisible. Or he could be flat-footed for another reason... I see that 3.x and PF could suffer what I call the "you need...

Herreman, I guess that we should simply agree on the fact that we disagree. Or to better explain, we don't disagree too much, we probably see the same events in different manners, with few changes that could be worthy or unworthy depending from our point of view. I hope a person that wants to...

In 3.5, was better use the last ones for maneuvers needing a touch attack to be started. In pathfinder is not longer true (maybe better trip or stun or blind your enemy with the first attack, so you have better chances to hit with the last ones and you made him less effective). Feats or...

How many spells you make the wizard find each level? One could argue that he would make it just with scrolls. Fine. But this is not even the point. You are going around what me and other people said. The point is that at high level, if you solve it with a spell is not a problem. A REAL problem...

You continue with your condiscendence, but you criticize a system you don't ever know. An headbutt is an unarmed strike too. And stunning fist can be took by anyone with wis 13 and enough BAB. And I meant use two attacks (main hand and off-hand) use two weapon rend, and then kick a second enemy...

The point here is not the amount of books. The SRD is available for everbody, and contains a great part of Unearthed Arcana. UA is filled with alternative rules for HP, AC, and spellcasting. You can make creatures in your game feel dramatically different. Add to this the fact that different...

What do you mean for "full attack?" Swing the greataxe 4 times? Tear an enem with two weapon and then stun a second with a kick? Disarm a neraby enemy, move of 5 feet, quickdraw a whip, and trip a distant enemy? Put on the ground all enemies in reach? Pin three enemies on the wall with arrows...

All of the above, barring the bolded one. I customize monsters onl in epic play, for "abominations". But those are designed to be "ad-hoc". I found Hiiiigh class level humanoids, Outsiders and Dragon be great solos at high levels. Indeed, I found solos just silly. My best monster combination is...

I see - actually, in a "perfect game" some spell should have drawbacks, like in AD&D. And yeah, magic is very powerful. But martial prowess has his exploits with skilled player. That Devastating Blow, Strenght Surge, or six CD 50 skill checks in a row could surprise you. I never said the...

I continue relentlessly to do fine high level 3.5. Please, PLEASE explain what I do wrong. I'm pretty much sick of statement like this. Not suitable for every taste? OK. Overcomplicated? Maybe. Unplayable? Hell, no.

Your unbeatable wizard could be an AMF or mage disjunction away. Moreover, if the story twists, be prepared for X makes you not prepared for Y. I've yet to see, in a world filled with powerful dragons, fiends, and mosnsters with all sort of special ability, the perfect defense. Or at least, the...

This shocks me every time, too. Not like "in 3.5 meleers can only charge and full attack" but pretty close.

Italian translation has some funny mistake (just in Player Handbook, see perform: comedy translated with Commedia) but overall is decent. I found far more annoying that the italian company that was translating 3rd edition stopped the translations when 4th edition came out. VERY annoying. :rant:

Not to be offending but.. OR they simply DMed smarter than the wizard? See below. In my experience, the above happens when one designs high level adventures like the ones at level 1. The game has changed, and powerful spells (as well ass the occasional 300 damage crit that blows up the ring...

I like the relevance of weapon in some basic mechanic.. if a power says 3[w], the weapon ou are wielding matters. Nevertheless, it's funny see how some people consider "did right" things that were already in 3.5, like rituals.

This. To elaborate: This.

I guess that the answer lies in the perception of mechanics. For me, since 3.5 has different mechanics for magic, classes, and a good, huge amount of alternative rules for HP, AC and similar mechanics in the SRD, is far more suitable to build different worlds. Just decide that "this time" the...

First time I ran 3.x with my friends, we went through a campaing that lasted years, up to level 40th. At that time, none of us was reading the bull**** in teh internet :) Our love for the story made the game work.

In 3.5, I did fine up to level 40. After that, I don't know if things mess up ;)

I have a monk player now in my current campaing. Level 12. Does fine, does not beat enemies like a fighter, but mobility, saves and special things make him flavourful and useful. PF fixed some of the issues (level to CMB is a great thing). The class is indeed far from being overpowered. Is not...
