Actually the optimal path vs sub-optimal path progressions of Prestige classes kind of make sense, even in real life people with a plan tend to get what they want faster than those who don't. Two highschool graduates who go to the same colledge, one knows exactly what he wants to do after he...

I've gamed with lots of players who don't share my political leanings, primarily because most of the people I used to hang out with didn't share my political leanings either. But only once have I ever had it become a problem at the gaming table. Some of our gaming group had arrived about 30...

You know what I like best about the Unfettered, the name, the rest of the class is pretty uninspiring, same with the swashbuckler from both WotC and Swashbuckling adventures. I basically used the Algai'd'siswai from Wheel of time as a starting point and built my Unfettered from thier. In the...

I'll second the call to just use the Star Wars method of giving out the XP, If I remember correctly, it is incredibly simple, it based off of level and the length of your sessions (not that I use it though, but I've seen it used in the past, the longer your sessions the quicker you advance)...

The way the LA +1 work is all characters choose a clan, family, and school (this represents early training and favored class not nessecarily class levels). They gain the benefits of normal humans, except they lose the favored class any (which in our game isn't neccearily applied to the highest...

Sorry, kind of a cross between 3.5 and 3.0 (mainly weapon rules, cover, concealment, and difficult terrains rules, with maybe a few other odds and ends, but none are coming to me at the moment). We created a new reputation/honor system that combined both, so that we could use it in or normal...

It's my wife's favorite setting, so she runs it anytime she gets a chance. She hates the new edition though, so we use the D&D rules, although modified to give some of the feel of the d10 system. We use a different taint and honor system than the one in OA. Also Samurai (as in the caste, not...

I had never noticed the discrepency until today, funny. The suffocation rule also states double your constitution score, but Stormwrack states only for your constitution score. I think I would go with the double your constitution to mirror the suffocation rules.

I do something similiar to the extra feat every other level, but mine are player optional. Basically every players has ten slots at first level he can fill with one of three types of flaws, two of these flaws (one is more like anti-feats, and the other is heavilly modified from Swashbuckiling...

Okay, I saw someone mention captain D's, but no one mentioned Long John Silvers (the much better of the two in my opinion. Both are fast food chains that sell deep fried fish and fries (or chips). I have noticed that you can find smaller places like you mention the closer you get to large...

I honestly think that if this happened to me I'd be more then a little distracted and confused when the the guy in front of me starts swinging wildly into midair, apparently making the air bleed as his sword came away bloody. I can't help but smile thinking of how that must have looked to...

Granted It does say area, not squares, but I personally would rule it as each threatened square you enter, otherwise Hold the Line could be bypassed by waiting to start a charge until you are already in a threatened space, and that would just be kind of goofy. I wouldn't object to houseruling...

Keep in mind that doing this requires the player to have combat reflexes, hold the line, a BAB of +2 and a Dex of at least 12 for one additional attack of opportunity or 14 for two additional attacks of opportunity, plus weapon proficiency with a reach weapon (not overly difficult, but an extra...

Here's the thing. Only leaving a the threatened spaces of the same opponent is counted as one provocation. Hold the line is simply adding a new way of provoking attacks of opportunity, which has nothing to do with leaving a threatened square. If a charging opponent enters a square you...

There is an enemy standing over the unconscious ally occupying the same square the cleric is reaching into that is the heart of the disscusion. Good to see the Yeti to mine and Artoomis's Knights make an appearance though. :)

Now show me where in the rules it states that you can reach into an occupied square in the first place, and nowhere can I find that they absolutely never provoke an attack of opportunity. I can give you an example of a "not an action" that would though. A reach 0 creature takes a five foot...

I read it too, I think, it was the keep it civil one right. Who was it directed at though, I thought we were being pretty civil compared to some of the other threads I've read though. If it was me, I'm not sure what I did, but I obviously didn't mean to offend any one.

Where are you finding that using a touch spell is a no-action. It is either a part of the standard action used to cast the spell, or a standard action if used after the round it is cast, but I'm not finding any rules for "no actions" other than 5'step or delay, which 5' step is listed under...

Many does not equal all. Not every situation is covered in the PHB table, they even say so in the description of AoO, it is not an all inclusive list so don't treat it as one. There will be instances where an action is not listed on it, so use the spirit of the rule, and the spirit of the rule...
