I am currently playing a ranger 1/fighter 4/ dervish 6 with WWA and have used it whilst doing the dervish dance. I ran it by the DM priot to taking the feat and his reply was "that sounds cool!" . The character has a base move of 50 currently (30 + 10 derish + 10 magic). Anyhoo, it was not...

I agree with Brain, from the wording you get a "free" trip attempt which would imply going straight to apposed roles. No AoO incurred. pbd

I've been playing a fighter 5/dervish 5 (just turned dervish 6) with some similar feats (whirlwind attack and dervish dance were made for each other...). I might suggest taking elusive target, this works really well with mobility to get a free trip attempt and, if you are willing to be flanked...

From the SRD: COMBAT EXPERTISE [GENERAL] Prerequisite: Int 13. Benefit: When you use the attack action or the full attack action in melee, you can take a penalty of as much as –5 on your attack roll and add the same number (+5 or less) as a dodge bonus to your Armor Class. This number may not...

A few PrCs grant the elaborate parry special ability, which adds +4 to the AC bonus for fighting defensively or using total defense. When fighting defensively you take -4 to hit, but get +2 to AC; with elaborate parry you get +6 total. Total defense is a standard action that provides a +4 to...

I just can't really see the benfit in taking multiple feats for this; it doesn't really provide somehting useful until you get to the third one. I can't see wanting to use power attack on my iterative attack, but not on my highest BAB attack (What PA 2 gives) ; and it just takes too many...

Improved Rapid Shot No one has mentioned Improved Rapid Shot from Complete Warrior. This allows you to ignore the -2 from using rapid shot. Basically, you get an extra shot at your highest BAB with no penalties; pretty good for an archer. By the way, if you like half-lings, go for the...

I'll just assume, from the lack of responses, that everyone thinks this is a great house rule and will use it in their campaigns. In fact WoTC will probably add it to an errata for Complete Warrior it is so good! pbd

In 3.5 does the enchantment on a ranged weapon, say a bow, add to damage also? For instance (I know simple enough question, we don't need an example here. I am going to give one anyhoo) does a +2 Longbow do 1d8+2 damage? pbd

I am playing a Dervish that weilds a Falchion. In DnD terms a falchion is essentially a large scimitar (it actually isn't, in truth it is a French cleaving sword that was one of the most common swords of th medieval period due to its armor cleavign ability, but I don't want to start a...

I wouldn't allow it and also say no to Cleave after an AoO. An attack of opportunity arises when an opponent lets their guard down to do something else; move, cast a spell, etc. The attack of opportunity is against the one whose guard is down, not someone standing next to them. I can't see...

there is also a PrC from Miniatures Handbook called Dragon Samarai that allows half-dragons and may be adaptable.

Actually you can apply both a blast shape invocation and an eldritch essence invocation to the same eldritch blast (CA pg 9). You cannot use more than one invocation of the same type on the same blast however. Also, each EB, modified by an invocation or unmodified, is a standard action...

Gotta agree This looks like a LA +1 race and very Tiefling-like. pbd

Uzagi_Akimbo You seem to tthink this class is vastly overpowered, but I think you are overlooking some major limitations. The Warlock may have unlimited uses of the EB and invocations, but is severlt limited by the number of invocations known. Take an 8th level Warlock vs an 8th level...

Mobility is still useful, even with tumble. Remember the DC goes up for each opponent you tumble past. At some point, even with alot of ranks, you are may to have to face an AoO. At which point, a +4 to AC is nice. Alos, there is a Tactical feat from CW called "Elusive Target" where, amoung...

Your arguements could be construed to show that the Sorcerer is underpowered, which is something that I have heard frequently (especially at lower levels), as much as the Warlock is overpowered. Mages/Sorcs etc. are generally not the toughest combat classes out there until they get to higher...

The PHB says that additional damage dice don't multiply with a crit. I would assume that a chanelled scorching ray would count as additional damage dice and not multiply on the crit. However, I think you could make a good arguement for doubling the scorching ray damage on a nat 20 (with a crit...

Has anyone had the chance to guage the warlock in play yet? I am intrigued by the class, it seems to be quite a split from the standard spellcaster. I am interested in trying it myself, but haven't yet had the chance and am wondering about any possible rules issues/fixes that have come up. I...

Armor bonus vs Deflection bonus The player may also be confusing the armor bonus from the bracers with a deflection bonus. A deflection bonus does protect against touch attacks, whereas the armor bonus does not. Although I think a case can be made for armor enchantment bonussesto help againt...
