Well, they're not going to do it TOO often, because they keep dropping their longspear. I think you'll find that in practice it doesn't mess things up to much when a fighter tries this, especially when he's fighting multiple opponents and does not have combat reflexes.

Everybody'd whine and bitch about a new addition and whine and bitch about how it changed this and that important feature and how this new feature is unbalanced. But they'd all buy it anyway, then they'd house-rule it so that it looks like what they imagine D&D should be (even if this totally...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a rule that states that, in any combat, all combatants are considered flatfooted until their initiative is reached for the first time? Concerning enemies losing their Dex bonus versus hidden attackers, I think the primary criteria should be whether or...

They spent some time making items IMC, but to be honest all they really did was leave the NPC party cleric behind for a week (making scrolls and potions) while they went and cleared out a dungeon.

Even with SA on every attack rogues have trouble doing as much damage as pure melee characters.

Next time she picks it up after rolling, just say, "Hey, could you leave it down there please? The whole point is so that we can all see the number ourselves!" To which she might reply with "You calling me a cheater?" To which you would reply, "Not yet. Pick up the die again and that'll change."

The editor in me just had to point this out. Why on earth would you want to increase your chances of being detected while you're invisible? :p

Such a quote does not exist, at least in the SRD. In fact, the SRD description of the Hide skill never explicitly states that, if you are hidden, a creature that fails its Spot check does not see you.

You can also use Bluff to hide during combat. If all you're wanting is a sneak attack, you can also use Bluff to try to deny your opponent his Dex bonus to AC. If you have Improved Feint you can even do this as a move action, and thus, if you roll well (and he rolls poorly), sneak attack an...

I'm pretty certain that if a creature has concealment it can't be sneak attacked. That's why Darkness isn't really a good spell to have going for rogues, even though it gives them concealment too.

I don't much care for the "spellcaster" requirement for crafting alchemical items, personally.

I've previously used paint thinner to get out permenant marker. But it might not be that good for gridlines... My advice is to find a large sheet of clear plexiglass and use a T-square and razor to score a 1" grid on it. That's what I did and it's worked better than any commercial battlemat...

I guess the reason I'm going to allow it is because it's so damn expensive. Putting Vorpal on the bow means he's giving up a lot of other abilities he could be paying for instead.

My player just got his bow enchanted with the Vorpal ability. I told him this was just fine, but it would only work if he equipped his bow with arrows that did slashing damage. Such arrows are available in the Kalamar setting, and they cost 1gp each. So off he goes with his new vorpal bow...

OK, here goes: [dice]

Funny, I had just posted saying my buttons were ok, but now they're the white squares with red dots, too (I assume it's a red "X" but there's not enough room to show it).

(clearly Kerrik is played by the fellow who played Alron. I didn’t feel like spending the time to work him into the group any better, and I figure it’s okay to use the “my god told me to join your group” method just once in my DMing career.) Soon after Kerrick joined them, the party is stopped...

Let me explain a few things Kalamar doesn't have. At its essence, Kalamar doesn't necessarily feel like a fantastic world. Just reading through the campaign book, you won't find rivers of blood, cursed landscapes, or deserts that are the result of a terrible wizard's duel in the past. None of...

It takes a while to start understanding how the nations and cultures are woven together. The guys at Kenzer did a good job. Also, the art in the modules is wonderful. For most encounters, there is a full-page piece of art to show the players. I love the d10000 encounter tables. Each module...

Truth! In 3.5, it is now possible for people without the correct weapon type to defeat virtually any monster with DR. You just gotta hit it a few more times...
