Yah, the non-full caster classes were being made more irrelevant in 3.X & I didn't want to do a huge power increase for non-casters. So, I notched one group down a bit and the other up a bit. Not perfect but, workable.

This forum should give you a hint. ;) I first introduced it as a means of reigning in spell casters who got even more powerful when 3.0 came out. They can't cast defensively and lose their spell if hit for damage in my games.

Correct. That's why I called a RULE stupid. Get it?

10:1 seems pretty accurate.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Chill.

No, I use HP & spells. I just don't do freeze frame combat, a very stupid concept from 3.x.

Yes, he is very logical. More so than the game designers. I eliminated this early on. Although you need "turns" to run a combat system, actions are supposed to be simultaneous. I try to run it that was as much as possible, so as to not have ridiculous scenarios crop up in combat.

Umm, not really. If you come to a sheer 1000' chasm that you must cross, the only thing that will happen will be to tell you to cross it or go way around. You don't automatically bypass anything.

Now, that should work. Mother gorillas pick up their young and run "3 legged" pretty fast.

A girallon is basically a 4 armed gorilla. Go watch a gorilla move around. There is nowhere to really put a saddle. Heck, you can't even saddle a zebra...

Well, if you don't have a belt you have to make due...

5' step + move equivalent + move != ok

Don't worry. I see no reason to reply.

Sorry about that, I didn't see that in the FAQs or what not. Maybe you should add that to intro message when someone signs up for the board...

Good haul!

I usually get core, planes, additional monster books & any racials that look good.

Yep. In 3.x I started seeing players with high level characters that they really brought up from 1st, and they could play worth a darn. TPKs right, left & center using standard encounters for level...

Because they make RPGs not computer games?

Actually, I'll dig out my DMG from storage and tackle it by posting the source and commenting. Will be better that way.

Well said.
