    Entirely possible, oh, and sorry or the off-topic post (sprang into my head and didn't thinkit worth a new topic).

    Stacking DR?

    Am wrong or I did I once see a table that listed a kind of heirarchy for overcoming DR? If so could someone post it.

    Why does STR affect Attack Bonus?

    I would just like to point out that most of the examples that have been given, from UFC etc., relate to a quick but small person (high dex lower strength) fighting a quick AND strong person (high strength AND dex). In this situation you are skewing the example in favor of the strong and fast...

    Making Weapon Finess a Freebie?

    I'll show you #&$^$%$^#ing civil! :) Oh, and I agree more or less with your points about strength in combat, but think agility and quickness are just as important. I think, overall, some weapons are more influenced by strength and some are more influenced by agility and quickness. I think...

    Making Weapon Finess a Freebie?

    Also, your argument is only possible for armors which provide total body coverage. Historically most armors cover only the torso, upper arms, and thighs; full plate is rare. Wounds usually occur around the armor coverage areasand at connections, not through the armor. If hitting meant...

    Making Weapon Finess a Freebie?

    Sorry that arguement doesn't hold. Hitting armored opponents isn't generally about going through the armor, it is about stiking vulnerable places; there are very few weapons that could acually puncture armor. Even a large ax would have trouble with full plate and only heavy crossbows would be...

    Making Weapon Finess a Freebie?

    Personally I think using strength as the basic "to hit" stat is either a hold-over from earlier additions where it was probably used for simplicity sake. Now I can see it being primarily str to hit to reduce the number of "good" stats a viable character needs, but that arguement is kind of...

    Making Weapon Finess a Freebie?

    Must say I agree Only certain, brute strength, weapons would benefit form a high strength in attacking and I believe MORE weapons would benefit from high dex for attacking. For heavy two-handed weapons like big axes, hammers, pole arms, and two-handed swords strength would be the major...

    D&D 3.x Ambidexterity in 3.5

    Have to say I agree, a penelty for fighting with 2 weapons should apply; it would just be more difficult. Perhaps an ambidexterity feat that allows use of the full strength mod for both primary and off-hand (if you are ambidextrous you don't have an off-hand) attacks would be more in order and...

    two weapon fighting

    OK, so in the time I was posting this, like 4 people beat me to it. :] Actually with TWF you are at -2 if you are using a light weapon n the off-hand; the -4 is if you are not weildng a light weapon in the off-hand. With attacks of +23/+18/+13 and using 2 dwarven waraxes (not light) wit imp...

    Does a mind flayer using plane shift provoke an AoO?

    Its pretty much all in the title. I am not too familiar with Psionics so I am wondering if this wil provoke an AoO. Last session we encountered one and actually held our own, we beat it down and it eventually fled with plane shift. We didn't get an AoO on it, or we might have killed it; just...

    Stat this weapon out

    I agree that it isn't double, but I don't think it would be like a Kukri. A Kukri is a particular kind of blade that is very heavy, forward weighted with a forward angled tip; very deadly and effective (technically a good sized kukri would be more deadly than a short sword, tink of it as a...

    Druid PrCs

    Besides natures warrior are there any good druid wildshape PrCs? I am specifically looking for something that will allow wildshaping more often, possibly to one specific animal. Any suggestions? pbd

    Wildshape and Magic Items

    Using core rules only, do Druids retain effects from any magic itmes when in Wildshape? How does this work? I am playing a druid that plans to spend a good of time wildshaped as a Lion, we are using only core rules, and I am wondering what limitations he will have. Much thanks rules Nazis...

    Targetted Dispel

    I would think that in actuality all of the dispelling attempts would occur "simultanueously" when the dispell hits (regardless of type of dispell). I would allow the spell that helps the other spells to modify each roll, since everything is in essence happening at once. If any spell that is...

    Using ECL as an alternative to Gestalts?

    So what you are saying is that a 1st level fighter with a +2 to will and reflex saves is as powerful as a 3rd level fighter? This doesn't work out. If saves are that important the fighter could easily have teken the iron will and lightning reflexes feats by 3rd level. pbd
