So the consensus is 1d8 bonus on damage but it uses up a swift action? And at higher levels, you can make it last for a while, but can never boost the damage. I guess that's fair. Yoinked for my Monk/FistofZuoken ;)

Quick rules questions: 1. Can the hammer power (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/hammer.htm ) be used in conjunction with an unarmed strike? So, swift and 1 pp to activate Hammer, then Standard to attack. If the attack roll misses, it appears the pp was wasted as it only lasts 1 round...

To be a little more accurate: When I designed the character the party consisted of a CN Warlock who seemed like he didn't care about the church one way or another and a NE Scout who was all for actively working with the church if they were the higher bidder (As well as a short-lived spike-chain...

Hindsight is 20/20 and I agree with you 100%.

If the game was one where we maintained character roleplay throughout, and truly strived for an immersive game I *might* be able to agree with you. However, this was a game fraught with tangenting, stories, eating food, etc. We were not maintaining character, even during conversations with NPCs...

That is a nice scene, but if you've read the above has really little to do with what happened in game. I tried to be as unbiased and objective as possible. If I wanted to, I could've written a biased little scenario like yours to get people to agree that I was wronged. That is NOT the point of...

Except, since I was a PC that ultimately wanted to have friends turn me against the church, it seems unlikely I would "double deal" again. If I had told you all the secret stuff out of game, and we were playing together, would you think its interesting or a horrible idea and you'd kill me if I...

This was essentially Mossimo's player's argument. Subdual damage doesn't seem to be apt in a rage, though I have been rethinking whether or not disabling her then dropping my spear and raising my arms might have been the better option. In previous games, even though we roleplay, we tend to give...

No, not really. Let's say we've known each other for a few weeks, worked together, fought together, killed things together. I was in the military, by the way, and played a lot of d&d with my fellow comrades. You do NOT attack a friend, regardless of what they've done. Granted, not everyone was...

As DM, you worked with me to help create this background and gave me the order to kill Anea if possible. Just saying. The group is fairly new. I have been playing with 1 of the characters for almost a year (the Warlock, who basically stayed out of the whole mess just shaking his head). 2 of...

Just posting the details of a recent game session, looking for feedback of all kinds (yeah, its long). The party is given a mercenary quest to go a few weeks north and unearth some ruins which contain a book which we are to dig up and retrieve for our patron. During our short stay in the town...

Looking for players for a bi-weekly Star Wars Saga Game. Currently have 3 characters, looking for a couple more to round out the group. Game is approximately 100 years after Episode 6. We play on Sunday from around 3 'oclock till 8 or 9 PM. Group is laid back ages start at 25 up to 30-something...

I've never played a dedicated fighter/tank role in d&d. I usually opt for the magic guy, the rogue-ish guy, the 5th wheel (go bards and monks!), or if I have to, the cleric (which is a bit of a tank, but my last cleric was 8 years ago). Anyway, please critique my build ideas and feel free to...

I guess that's the root of the problem. But if we all play our characters right and the scout says "Fine, I'm out of here" then where does that leave the group? And even if he started a new character, I doubt he would play any differently (meaning, generally very protective of his hp...

Well, if a friend asked you to help some people and felt strongly about it and you were going against a church that had just come in and displaced all the faith of your peoples, I'd say a real friend would help, and an acquaintance would bicker about rewards. One of the group's problems is that...

Our DM would agree with you which is why we began play at sea on a boat all having been paid to act as guards (though the risk of attack seemed low). He said it would be an out-and-out railroad, but that he liked starting with a railroad than the cliche tavern scene where everyone just happens...

So yesterday my group began a new campaign set in a homebrew campaign. We had 32 point-buy and free license to use just about anything ever published for 3.5 by WotC. I have a bit of a monk fetish but noticed the Ninja class and came up with an interesting concept. My character was a young...

Ok, if he's methodical (lawful) describe to me someone doing the same action in a chaotic way. It's not keeping a log, or having a list of people that he's going to take care of next that are necessary components to what I feel a lawful mien would be, but some kind of aspect involving planning...

Out of Curiousity How do you associate this with a methodical plan? He sterilizes people he considers stupid or useless as he adventures. He isn't keeping a log of people he's sterilized and doesn't appear to have a list of people that he will keep from breeding in the future. He's easy-come...

I disagree, though I am not following the RAW so much as my own interpretation of the alignment axes. This act has little to do with the lawful/chaos axis in my mind. 'Stabbing a Friend in the Back' This is hurting someone that you have an emotional bond with. A good person would not do this...
