I don't have a strong opinion either way. If you did change it, what would you change it to, 15 feet? Someone who wants to specialize in it can always take Point Blank Shot and Far Shot. That would make any shot within 20 feet at +1, 20-30 feet at no modifier, 30-40 feet -1. And those are...

Krikit waves his hand at the spilled drink, causing it to vanish in a small shower of green sparkles. He raises an eyebrow at the antics of the previously restrained Bauriar. "Actually," he observes, "she did say he was unpredictable. Maybe he's just in a good mood, what with all our loot and...

From the SRD description of the Handle Animal skill: So yes you can do it, but it takes a long time.

I wouldn't raise the damage either. As a thrown weapon it already allows strength bonus. I think it's fine as-is. Since the monk (who would presumably be the one using it) gets the proficiency without spending a feat, I think it's balanced as-is.

The bugbear lowers his bow, turns toward someone you can't see (apparently in the barracks room) and hisses something in Goblin. For those Goblin speakers among you: "It was nothing, now get back in there and shut up!"

Scotley's reading my mind, obviously, so I'll just say, "me, too." :)

Krikit smiles broadly. "What a nice fellow," he says. "I like him. I don't trust him as far as I could throw him, mind you, but I like him."

My world is completely egalitarian. I know this is unrealistic (from a historical perspective) but so are fireballs and I allow those. :) By the same token, nobody will "go easy" on a foe just because she is a woman, nor will "good guy" militaries treat male and female non-combatants any...

Just a heads-up that I'm only around in the morning today, so if I don't post any responses to your actions, I will do it tomorrow.

I know you're planning to start the game today, Masleh, but I wanted to let you know I might not be able to post today. Running a bunch of errands this afternoon. I should be able to post tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest. Just didn't want you to think I had vanished. :)

Balance-wise I think it's fine. Mechanically it's most similar to a thrown spear except: Lower range increment (minus) Slashing rather than piercing (wash) 18-20/x2 crit rather than 20/x3 (plus) And it's heavier and more expensive. If anything, I'd wonder if it's worth the exotic weapon...

I hate this game so very very much... :D

You know, it never occurred to me to rent a hotel room to game in. It's brilliant. It sounds like your group is 4 people total so that's $12 each, and if you're only gaming until about 9:00 you can be as loud as you want. And I've got two words for you: Maid Service If it's not a financial...

Another HERO vote, here. The HERO system can model any type of game I've ever heard of, complete in one volume. The price, of course, is complexity and prep time. HERO characters are not super quick to make (though there is software that helps) and the system itself can get complicated. But...

The bugbear's aim wavers for a moment, then he stands stock still, apparently awaiting an order from Lucas. The spell description doesn't actually say what the action is to issue the first command. I assume it's a part of the standard action of casting the spell. I'm also assuming your first...

Krikit stands (having little impact on his height) and smiles brightly at the newcomer. "Well that's nice to hear," he says without irony. He extends his hand to the envoy. "I'm Krikit, and your name was...?"

Best week I've had and I'm still last. :) I of course picked the Pats, but I honestly am not too optimistic...

Krikit nods in agreement. "It can't hurt to listen," he says.

The mention of Eberron brings up a good point. If it's a Fort save (or any other d20 roll) you should be able to use Action Points. Again, that may be a pro or a con, depending on your play style. I call it a pro. :)

Actually isn't it a flat 10%? Even worse. That's why I use a Con check for this. It's DC 19, so if you have no modifier, it's 10%, just as written, but if you're tougher it's easier. Since I also allow auto-success on a 20, it's not impossible for the frail, either.
