I can see Witness' argument. His interpretation is just as reasonable, if not better. I could understand it either way. Since there is no explicit statement about whether magic fang affects all a monk's attacks or just one particular hand or foot, just make your own ruling. Maybe 3.5 will...

I think common sense works here. Freedom of Movement works against spells targeted on you or that affect an area that impede your movement as described above, including hold person, solid fog, slow, etc. The spell also allows you to ignore hindering environmental effects like water pressure...

From the SRD: Magic Fang Transmutation Level: Drd 1, Rgr 1 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Target: Living creature touched Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) Magic fang gives one natural weapon of the subject...

Of course, I'm wary of some of the proposed changes. I'm holding my judgment about the new DR scheme until I see exactly how it works, but by and large, I like just about every change I have seen that is being mentioned for 3.5. There will be things I don't like in the changes, of course, but...

To begin with, I feel that an item of such power would be an epic item or at very least a minor artifact. I would have serious thougts about allowing this in my game, especially since luck bonuses are so rare that they stack with just about everything. If you have to put a price on it...

I tend to agree with most of the others that have posted, but I want to say that I understand the opposing viewpoints. Clearly there are no explicit rules about how to deal with AoOs against invisible creatures, so you just have to house rule it (at least for now) and do what you and your...

I have my books now. Whip Dagger (Sword & Fist): Dmg 1d6 (Slashing), 19-20/x2 Nagaika (Masters of the Wild): Dmg 1d6 (Slashing), x3 Masters of the Wild actually mentions Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Nagaika), but I say if Whip and Whip Dagger are close enough to be the same, a Nagaika...

There is also a Nagaika from either Song and Silence or Masters of the Wild (I can't remember which). It's a whip with glass fragments attached every so often along the length of the whip. It does the same base damage (1d6) as the whip-dagger, but one crits as x3 and the other 19-20/x2. I...

Agreed. No third domain. It seems to me that the designers intentionally want you to choose between that third domain or a PrC that does something else. If you really want lotsa domains, go for Shaman 11/ Contemplative 5. That's three normal domains and two prestige domains!! I do think...

I agree with Bastoche -- if you take a move-equivalent action to move but stop after 5 feet, then I would treat it as a 5 ft step if you make no other movement during the round. Changing your mind in mid move (because it triggered ready actions) seems to be the issue. I'd probably allow it on...

Bastoche: No offense intended. Please accept my apology. I really intended to post the link for the benefit of everyone reading the thread because it is easy to start scrolling down the page of diagrams and miss the link to the Dragon article at the top. As for changing actions, people have...

By the way, did you check the link at the top of the page IceBear linked to? (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/RoleModels.pdf) This is a PDF excerpt from a Dragon article that is the clearest explanation of AOOs yet (this is what I based my first post on).

Bastoche, Your situation can never happen. The reason is because you only get a 5 ft step when you make no other movement during the round. If you say you want to make your 5 ft step, you don't get any other movement for the rest of the round after that, and you are immune to AOOs from...

Don't forget amulet of mighty fists from Sword & Fist. Gives an enhancement bonus of up to +5 for all unarmed attacks. There are the epic Keen Strike (all unarmed attacks are slahsing weapons and threaten on 19-20) and Vorpal Strike (ouch) Epic feats also. And, for the low, low price of 20...

Thanks hong. Yes, Shiba protector. I remembered it wrong and I didn't have my books in front of me. Shiba protector is a pretty weird prestige class. It's this odd amalgam of one killer offensive ability (No thought), a killer defensive ability (SR), and a bunch of other stuff that doesn't...

Good analysis Apok. I think you have hit on the crux of what the difference between monks and Sacred Fist. The combination of Monk defensive/survival abilities and the raw offensive power of the sacred fist is a powerful combo indeed. I'd like to blend a couple of the powerful Sacred Fist...

In the case of giants, they all have reach, which makes it hard to get from one to another without entering and leaving several threatened squares. This is the difference, and this is what makes reach so powerful. If the distance between giants is only 10 ft, you can make your 5 ft step (and...

It seems pretty simple to me. If all you do is move, you don't provoke an AOO when you leave the square you started in (in the Player's Handbook terminology, the square you start in is "not considered to be threatened"). So he has backed away from Orc X doing nothing but moving, and X does...

Edit: Delete duplicat post due to lag

I did see it, but I kind of forget what it had now. From what I remember, somehow it kind of lacked the "punch" of the Sacred Fist (no pun intended). I'll look at it again tonight. Again, I don't want to drift into House Rules territory too much, but in terms of balance, I see something...
