On Make Whole It appears that if the weapon is only damaged then Make Whole will repair it. However, if the item was actually broken then you would need to use the Craft Arms and Armor feat.

Most everybody I know is totally not interested in seeing Episode II. If the trailer was the best two minutes of film that they could put together to hype this movie, then it looks totally lame. The worst character in Episode I was Anakin Skywalker. Jar Jar was annoying and could have been...

A couple of points here. 1) Fine remove scaling -- but what are you going to remove from the fighter/thief/cleric to balance it ? There is no fundamental difference between a Wizard/Sorcerer smackdown versus a Barbarian/Fighter/Paladin/Ranger smackdown. When you talk about removing scaling...

I had considered this as well, however, it looks to me like once you are in a grapple, doing anything other than escape is a full round action. You don't seem to have the standard action option. You might rule that someone could draw a dagger as a full round action if they won their grapple...

Spells are not absolutely balanced by level. Each spell has to be evaluated based upon what function it serves. Depending up what the DM emphasizes depends on which spells are more useful. Illusion falls into either really lame or amazingly powerful depending upon the cleverness of the player...

Simple solutions: Role d20 + damage in one roll, so you don't have to roll twice. Creatues that have multiple attacks: have several sets of colored dice -- I have 4 (blue, green, black, red) roll one set for each attack with same colored damage dice. Don't allow any player to reference a...

Yes, but unless they have Ambidexterity/Two-Weapon fighting they would have to only shield bash to have an effective attack.

True, but I would rather be power attack/mauled with subdual damage than worry about saving the weapon for our barbarian. Improved disarm helps here too if you think that the weapon is of any value. But better to sunder it and pay to have it fixed later than die to it.:D

I you are grappled you can do the following things (all assume that you win the grapple check): Damage opponent with unarmed attack Pin opponent Break Pin Escape You can also choose not to make a grapple check and: Hold your opponent in the grapple Make an attack roll with a light weapon...

Oriental Adventures Martial Arts Styles IMHO, the implementation of martial arts styles makes more sense than the current proliferation of prestige classes. This idea of styles is easily extended to more than martial arts situations. Basically, a style is a grouping of related skills and...

I dislike the prestige class idea in general All of the prestige classes could just be built from skills and feats. The problem lies in how rigidly the core classes are defined. The reason the Human Fighter class is so popular is because it is extremely customizable. If the other classes had...

Re: Re: Re: Rapid Shot vs. Two Weapon Fighting Sunder is a great feat when you fight a lot of weapon using foes -- especially if you are a fighter whose sword advances in power like the Samurai from OA. I have a strength fighter with a two-handed sword that fights a lot of guys that use...

Drawing the weapon is a MEA unless you have the Quickdraw feat. So your 10th level fighter cannot use the full attack action UNLESS he has the Quickdraw feat.

After a ready action takes place, it seems like a simpler solution to have those involved reroll initiative to determine which one will go first the next time that initiative count comes back up.

Strength = +1 to hit and +1 to damage Strength modifies 3 skills Strength determines how much you can carry Dexeterity = +1 to hit and +1 to AC Dexterity modifes Reflex saves Dexterity modifies 9 skills Constitution = +1 to hit points Constitution modifes Fortitude saves Constitution modifies...

What you are referring to here is what MAGE calls coincidental versus vulgar magic. If by low magic you mean coincidental, then you might want to check out Mage the Ascension for some ideas on how to implement this. You might not have to change D&D at all, just add consequences to using vulgar...

See the D&D FAQ This is discussed very well in the D&D FAQ: My group’s having some difficulty with the Expertise feat. What happens when you use Expertise along with Two-Weapon Fighting? Do you get the Armor Class bonus from Expertise once for each weapon? Once for each attack? What...

I made this mistake once. Reread that sentance.

I agree with you, but his method is just a simple starting point. You could also add more variety of resources (Fuel, Construction, Food). Or even break those down further. Plus, I think his system was designed for running only a few seasons of campaign. At the rate your average D&D...
