Well I don't know about that, the DM can easily shut you down by not giving you any down time, or worse yet attacking you in the middle of the creation process. If you can find a place and the rest of the party works to keep you safe, however, there isn't much else he can do (unless hes...

You ACs aren't too high for around 10th level. Look at most CR10 encounters. Firegiants +20/+15/+10 - easily hit even the AC29 PC with the first attack Clay golem +14 (x2)- will hit about half the time against the fighter, and he can't heal the damage. Cornugon-+15/+10+5,+9,+9- likely to hit at...

I answered this question in another thread, but I'll recap since I can't find the other thread. FRCS p21 -Powerful Races "You still use the character's actual level for everything else (such as when you acquire feats, skill point acquistion, and so on)." Actual level is the actual levels of...

An accurate description. Sonic attackss are effectively strong shockwaves. A deaf creature would be hurt/affected by them as any other, save that they'd be immune to the deafness aspect of it (for obvious reasons) and possibly any stunning results- though it would vary by source. For a...

He is normally very short as far as responses, though in the Dragon magazine write ups I've seen they usually voer explain everything, just odd that they didn't this time. I don't actually have the issue myself, so I can't read the other questions or even really reference the older rulings that...

Ah, thats what I thought, but the Dragon response seemed to indicate otherwise (ie AMF is a super Globe of Inv). So it does block line of effect then? That makes a huge difference. Certainly a big enough difference to have been mentioned in the response. The more I think about his response, the...

So one less thing for the Ranger then. I forgot "virtual feats" didn't get thought of until S&F. I just made a NPC ranger in my campaign, and seems pretty darned powerful. He might not be the strongest guy going toe to toe with a Armored Fighter, but his skills make him darn near undetectable...

People are discussing the response of the Sage in Dragon magazine where he says you CAN in fact cast spells out of an antimagic field. Snicker all you want he said it and the spell does not say spellcasting is impossible within the AMF. I've personally always thought that was the intent of the...

See Improved Two Weapon fighting feat also- it allows 2 attacks with the offhand weapon (and Greater TWF from MotW).

Well in those situations yes, but I was taking it as the character was standing in an enemies threat and trying to cast a spell (not defensively) and was saying healing spells don't provoke an AoO. There are a number of ways to avoid the AoO (casting defensively works in almost any situation)...

I'm glad to hear some people stand up for the Ranger. Personally my next character I make (which will likely be long off) will be a Ranger, but I just wanted to know I wasn't screwing myself by doing it. My DM is pretty convinced they suck, but I want to prove him wrong, basically my first post...

Just out of curiousity can you ever respond without flaming someone? All you had to say was paralyzed and held are different conditions (you are correct), but instead you feel the need to throw in some insults. Its getting old, since its in almost everyone of your 2000 posts.

It seems to me that Epic smacks are a bit to easy to pull off compared to low level smacks. I mean 40 points of damage in one round at say level 2 or 3 is impressive. At level 32 its probably less damage than you do with a single attack with no spells up. I agree with the division system. High...

Phantasmal killer is a bad example since its really more of an attack spell than say Permanent Image. If you make a spell craft check on an illusion and know its an illusion you should be able to automatically make a save to disbelieve it since you have reason not to believe it. Of course the...

A creature with multiple attacks of one type (like the 4 claws above) still only gets one attack for an AoO or standard action. If a troll moves and attacks it only gets one claw, not two.

Subdual damage can't kill you. Chopping a troll into mincemeat just makes it take that much longer to get up, you can't kill it that way. It will regenerate eventually. As far as beating someone to death, it does happen in real life, but in the game they avoid it. You could rule 0 it that any...

He's imagining things. All spells provoke AoO, even healing spells. The only way around it would be if he had a healing spell that was previously cast "on hold" and touched someone. Casting the spell draws an AoO.

In all the time I've been playing 3e, noone has yet to make, or want to make a Ranger. The reasons for this are painfully obvious compared to the other classes. 1) All cool Ranger abilities take forever to get and have limited use, or are achievable with a single level of Ranger. Two weapon...

Like Zoom said. Thats what charge is for. But more realistically what if they were both actually Running (x4 move). Neither character could really charge the other, but fortunately AoO handle this (if Enemy A Runs he provokes an AoO, if he double moves Player B charges him). Oh and don't chase...

You can occupy the same space as a creature in combat ONLY by grappling it (be it friend or foe). In the above example with the large creature the grappled 5x5 creature is in one of the squares of the larger creature (pick the most logical one). This keeps the character from becoming say a huge...
