I've never been satisfied with looking at Hit Points as a measure of blocking/parrying capability. What about a troll fighter? Does it make sense that he regenerates HPs lost from blocking/parrying?

Does anyone else find it odd that a 1st level unarmored fighter is as easy to hit as a 10th level unarmored with DEXs being equal? I mean, there isn't a blocking/parrying mechanic in the game as far as I can tell. The closest thing I've seen is the off-hand parry feat in Sword & Fist. Has...

Re: Re: Three Questions It's not errata. I already checked.

Thanks Omega! The info is much appreciated. I

I'm thinking about not requiring sorcerers to use any spell components. Has anyone tried this? If so, how do you describe spells that require a somatic component? For example, when casting a fireball, the caster must point at his target area and then a bead of fire flies from his hand. How...

I think D&D is fine the way it is for high-powered fantasy, but dark fantasy also has an appeal to a significant fan base. If WOTC wants D&D to be "the" fantasy game, I think it would only be right for them to provide rules for the scaling of power levels; rules such as WP and DR for armor. I...

This makes sense.

That's exactly how I've been playing it so far.

I was checking out Shadow Chasers the other day when I noticed that undead creatures aren't considered to have wound points because they don't possess a constitution score. Instead, all they have is vitality points, and when they're gone, the creature dissapates. That seems pretty silly to me...

Thanks Aziraphale and SableWyvern. It seems so obvious, but that's the best description of healing magic I've heard. I know the PHB talks about every hit making actually contact, but I think that leads to some really outrageous situations ("You were almost killed by those 15 arrows! Look at...

That's how I interpret them. However, healing spells don't make sense in this context, and fatigue is another condition entirely in 3E.

I understand that hit points represent both a character's ability to sustain real damage and turn potentially vital blows into minor wounds. I can accept this at lower levels of play, but not at higher levels. Imagine a 100 HP fighter. Say he is hammered by a volley of 15 arrows by the town...

I haven't played D&D in years. I quit while playing AD&D 2nd edition. I picked up the new edition some time ago, but I am just getting into it recently. WOTC really streamlined the system. I dig that. However, I don't understand why they ever bothered introducing AoO. I mean, D&D combat...
