Good point hong. I've never run into that scenario, most people I know take readies against mages taking a step away from them, or ar archers and don't AoO. I'm personally not sure how the rules handle that situation.

This came up in a discussion I was having. A quarter staff can be used as a double weapon, but when making a magic weapon (or rolling one) how are they handled in this respect? Generally they are used as a single weapon, but with that possiblity does the staff have 2 "heads" that can be...

Rape the rules all you want, the intent of the ring was to be a shield for spell casters. If you can convince your DM to allow it more power to you. I guess thats what WotC gets for trying to add some flavor to a magic item. If you decide to allow it then don't forget your character is...

Couldn't a monk use his UBAB with a quarterstaff as a monk weapon and then use it as a double weapon to get even more attacks? (imp 2 weapon/greater 2 weapon) to potentially get 9? Or am I wrong (don't have the books handy)?

HA! The monk would never reach level 10 to get that ability by the sound of things. Seems your campaign isn;t quite right. Level 7 after 2 years is slow even for 2e, much less 3e. My group seems to level every 2-3 weeks. Of course we fight a lot of things that are usually above our "level" (ie...

Greater Dispelling is good. And uh... Greater Dispelling.... and .... Greater Dispelling? Wow, I never noticed how bad those spells were. Misleads not too bad I guess. Song and Silence has some fairly decent lvl 5 spells- Song of Discord has potential at least. Screw it go back to level 3...

FRCS has the BEST XP system. The other method leads to parties with a single low level PC getting FAR more XP than they should, and that low level PC never catches up. Heres the FR method in case you don't have the book. Figure XP for each character based on his or her level and then divide by...

Seems to me its a special rule for Wyverns. Normally you could only make one attack, but Wyverns can make 2 claw attacks only as part of a flyby attack. Creatures break the rules all the time. This one doesn't really bother me since it makes sense. I can see the Wyvern basically pouncing on a...

Agreed, Search is for traps and Spot is for creatures. You can't Spot a trap in most cases. Think of a trap as being a pipe bomb in a mailbox (sorry local news). Looking at the mail box doesn't do you any good, no matter how good you can see. Only by examining the box (Search) by say tapping...

I agree, I'd probably drop the disarm myself, it doesn't really look like a good disarming weapon to me. The increased crit range basically makes it a small rapier (which tends to be somewhat inline with how exotic weapons work).

LOL. I never thought of that.

I stand corrected on the Arctic Dwarves. Never really read the Dwarf entry in MoF. I was going by memory from the FRCS. My mistake.

Thanks Zoom, I spaced on the drain per round thing. Yes it should only be one time, as per the creature description. I think one of the examples from the original post threw me off.

Remember that subdual damage (ie anything but fire or acid) greater than your hit points is NOT the same as having -1 hps. So for example if you beat a troll down with swords and the like, doing 500 points of damage thats 500 points of subdual damage. It still has ALL of its hit points, and...

As far as cost, it would probably be fairly expensive, but not overly so. Obsidian is a gemstone in D&D, but only worth 10gp. This assumes a small amount im sure. 100-200gp would probably be on par with the proper cost. Its really up to the DM, but it shouldn't be too cheap, but its hardly...

"An iron band, this simple ring generates a large shield-sized (and shield-shaped) wall of force that stays with the ring and can be wielded by the wearer as if it were a normal shield (+2 AC). " Only one question. Can you wield a normal shield while using a 2 handed weapon? No. Can I use a...

Gold dwarves get -2 Dex, +2 Con Grey Dwarves are ECL+2, and get tons of abilities (I dont have my book- its a long list). Artic dwarves, whatever they are, must be a home brewed thing.

Weakness is NOT a standard action of the roper, its the result of being "caught by a strand". So I think #2 on your list. Basically if they PC is attached they take the Str damage each turn they haven't broken free.

Shadowdale is where high level adventurers go to retire, thats why its so hard to defeat. Sure it may have a small population, but think how strong a 15th level fighter is compared to almsot any number of 1st level warriors. Now reemmber there are tons of mid to high level ex-adventurers there...

Agreed.
