From the 3.5 SRD, Actions in Combat, Full Attack: "The only movement you can take during a full attack is a 5-foot step. You may take the step before, after, or between your attacks." I dunno where you're getting this. Quick Draw is the way to throw more than two daggers in a round (for...

Just wanted to point out: (1) Looting isn't the only reason to search a downed enemy. IMO, discouraging searching (as opposed to looting) is taking a lot from the game. (2) You don't have to give the bad guy three levels of wizard or a ring of invisibility if you want the bad guy to be able...

I must be just as insane, because just as I don't assume that people who want to play an Evil character are "massive creephats," or that people who want to play an adult dragon character are "massive creephats," I don't assume that people who want to play a cross-gender PC are "massive...

I don't think so. I've never been in a situation with a man playing a woman where the roleplaying didn't creep me out. BTW, I keep harping on the subjectivity thing, because I think it's the only truly good argument for my position, and I'm not going back on that except to tell a brief story...

The latter creeps me out or offends me. (You won't be saying that subjectivity is unfair, I hope?)

The good thing about "infinite" is that when you subtract 1 ... you still have "infinite."

Yeah. I don't allow it when I GM, in either direction, but that's mostly because of the "guy playing chick" creep-factor. I've literally never seen it done where I didn't find it creepy or offensive. (Yes, that's subjective. But if I'm GMing, I'm not going to do it when I'm creeped out or...

I like almost all changes to hit points, death, and dying, including healing surges. (The big exception is the inability to remain injured for longer than six hours.) I like 4E's approach to monster design by "give 'em whatever's cool" (and it's an approach I adopted in the final stages of my...

Congrats, Paizo. Pretty damned impressive, and IMO very well deserved. (BTW, I played in a PFS game on Sunday morning, and it's the first "living" game I've ever enjoyed. (And I've tried at least 20 of them.) The DM was exhausted, but still good, and the players were friendly and engaged...

I exchanged some texts with Rosey (?), who let me know that another substantial group had wandered the Embassy Suites lobby, also looking for a game (but not having a physical copy). Not seeing anybody they recognized, they also gave up. It was good to meet you, Jim, and Robin. Matthew...

I would not have moved on from 3.5 if any company other than Paizo had led the way. (Not even companies I like a huge amount, like Green Ronin.) Paizo's people, production values, and proven track record with 3.5 were all instrumental in me coming along for the ride. (And I believe there are...

Not anymore! Tony Stark has his latest armor iteration installed in his bones, where he can extrude it and become Shellhead. (And before that he had Extremis. He hasn't been baseline human for quite a few years.)

(FWIW, I'm referencing 3.5.) Most detection spells use the word "sense," implying the ability is something beyond sight, for instance. If the detection can penetrate materials, hiding is only effective if the cover you're using to hide (if any) is too thick to penetrate. (By effective, I mean...

"Dishonesty" in promising, but not providing, something is not the only possibility. Nobody would call you "dishonest," for instance, if there were a personal tragedy in your life and you subsequently shut down EN World. That's an extreme possibility, just to illustrate.

I think when Gygax wrote about his "campaign," he was talking about his setting. That seemed to often -- but not always -- be a dungeon in perpetual development. Many, many characters and groups shared the campaign, and (aside from the setting, obviously) their adventures were not "linked" in...

I voted "mix," but I did assume a fairly liberal use of the word "ordinary." For example, I assumed a young veteran (1st level fighter) to be pretty ordinary.

It doesn't. Per the earlier post, PFRPG's "Fast" advancement is the same as 3.5's default advancement. PFRPG offers two tiers of slower advancement, but none faster.

Just as a side note, the Smite Evil already having been discussed, note that the Celestial Dire Tiger does have an SR of 14. An 11th or 12th level caster won't have much chance of failing to get through with haste or other buffs, but there's a small chance. There's also a saving throw. The SR...

Oh, I thought I'd mention the one product I ever actually went out of my way to email someone over: Green Ronin's Book of Fiends, by Erik Mona. I sent GR a note of appreciation, specifically as a guy who doesn't do extra-planar stuff often but found the product to be exceptional, and got a...

Somebody do me a solid and whack RC with XP for me? he desperately needs it, having flubbed his Will save this badly.
