If the encounter could threaten any character then it is supposed to be worth the same xp to every character (of the same level). If no possible character could be hindered by the encounter then its not worth xp. Are there just 1 or 2 trolls who would argue for a house rule that traps don't...

No and No, its treated as a separate creature that acts on your action.

You need mindfeeder weapons to make psiwarriors work and you won't be able to aquire one for a long time, if ever. Psywarriors are fighters with 1 less hp per level and rogue BAB. You get 4 bonus feats in 6 levels just like a fighter. Your PP don't go very far. If you multiclass you'll just...

If I player wanted 5 ranks of a profession skill other than herbalist IMC then I would let them have it for free. If they wanted a craft other than weapons, armor, bows, poison, or traps they could have 5 ranks for free. If they wanted a level of commoner when they created a character I'd start...

The problem with evasion is that it limits you to light armor plus your reflex save is going to be lousy. Taking rogue first would give you 24 skill points at the cost of 2 hit points. I don't know of any prestige class that complements a rogue/cleric. You won't have good spells and you won't...

2 partials do make a full action. You could cast 2 summon monster spells in 2 rounds but each monster would get in a full set of attacks 1 round earlier in normal. You could start with a partial and finish with a standard and have a MEA left over and not worry about having your spells disrupted...

Perform points over 12 do nothing, at least until 3.5 rules come out. With a total of 9 levels in bard and rogue you'd never spend a point cross class. Inspire greatness will be the only power you'll use and it gives a whopping +2 to hit and +2 HD. The biggest drawback to being a bard is no...

I'm surprised that this question generated so much commentary. When I first say this thread I thought, "Of course they should get experience." The only time you wouldn't get experience for something is it some powerful creature was chained or incapacitated in advance and you CDG'ed it or if you...

The point of levels in d20 is that characters of the same level should be roughly the same power. Other games can let you become hyperspecialized in one aspect like having +20 BAB with a longsword but only +1 BAB with any other weapon or 30 ranks in hide and no more than 2 ranks in any other...

Because bardic abilities cap out at a fairly low power they are quickly replaced by various bolstering spells that don't stack and give larger bonuses to the party as well as penalize the enemy. +1 spellcaster level for a bard isn't nearly the advantage that it is for a full caster. You should...

Skeletons burn just fine, that's what fireball is for. The window of opportunity for this feat is very small like dirty fighting, circle kick, divine vigor and so on. Its an ok feat at levels 3 and 4. This is one of those feats that is a good candidate for a 2-4k magic item. You are dropping...

Paladins are using all their turn attempts for divine might and divine shield. +2 Con has value at every level but when your 9th level cleric is giving everyone and their henchmen and familiars 1d4+1 con bonus how useful is the feat then? Its TWO feats. Saying its one feat is like saying...

The sage capped Boots of SS at 100' move based on 50' being the highest non-magical speed for M sized creatures. In any case, boots only multiply base move and do not stack with any magical or SU speed enhancement. Here's a 5th level wizard who can cast fly. Now his horizontal jump distance is...

Having +2 Con for a few minutes is a whole lot different from having it all the time and how helpful are the 2 extra hp? You'll have aid next level and you get 1d8 temp hp and +1 to hit which is better. If you could get Boots of Hustle (+10 move) for 1,000 gcs would you think this feat was...

How much higher than 1d20 or 4d6 should unarmed damage go? There is no weapon that does that much damage. 5 iterative attacks at twice the damage of a greatsword plus you can flurry or even lightning fist for 7 attacks.

Ok, maybe +4 to all physical stats for 1 hr/cha is too strong but either +2 to all for the same duration or +4 for 10 minutes flat duration is too weak for 2 feats. Rapid Shot/Point Blank is a better 2 feat pair. At 10th level you are looking at 1d4+1 with upwards of 30 hr extended duration or...

The feat would be slightly better if it lasted for hours instead of minutes. +2 con for a few minutes isn't terribly useful. You get +1 to fort saves and you get a few hp that are deducted from your total when the effect wears off. Any feat that is totally overshadowed by a 4k and 6.5k item...

Doubling the HD of a high CR monster makes a much more powerful monster than just adding 2 levels of fighter though officially both result in the same CR.

There should have been a choice to use the new SRD without buying the hardcovers. I hope they are giving out a few free ones at Origins this year. That's how I got my revised Star Wars hardcover. I'll give away my old copies of any new books I win at Origins.

If the attacker had the pounce ability and could full attack after a charge wouldn't you give the +2 on every attack and double damage if power lunge was applied? Why are the extra attacks granted by cleave different than attacks granted by pounce?
