    Trying to do a little class balance.

    I am not sure what you mean by this. The 3.0 and 3.5 Cleric both allow the character 2 Domains from which to choose his domain spells each day. See the 3.0 PH, pages 30-31.

    Quick Harpy Question

    I was asking myself that very question about an hour ago. The ability is not written as clearly as I might like. Normally, supernatural abilities require a standard action, but does the harpy's captivating song require a standard action each round to maintain the song's effect, much like...

    Help build 9th level monk.

    Although the Spring Attack feat chain is nice for a monk due to his speed, it is by no means essential. There are plenty of other niches a monk can fill. The quintessential grappler would be an option. You only get so many feats, so you have to make some choices. Many of the better feats in...

    Help build 9th level monk.

    The monk in one of my games has done well with Dodge, Mobility, and Spring Attack as a feat chain. He chose Stunning Fist, Combat Reflexes, and Improved Trip as bonus feats. He also has Improved Grapple and Weapon Focus (unarmed strike). That was his 9th level repertoire. He usually attempts...

    (Sneak) Attacking into a grapple

    PH, page 151, Table 8-6, Grappled plus footnotes 1 and 3.

    Standing up and Tumble

    Perhaps allow the Tumble check to avoid the AoO when standing up from a prone position, but instead of a static DC, make it an opposed roll of Tumble vs. the attack roll of the AoO.

    Maximum number of skill-enhancement feats?

    If a player wants to spend his feat slots to boost one or two skills, that's alright. These skill focus feats are unnamed bonuses, so they legitimately stack.

    Greater Magic Weapon and Bane Weapon Property

    I would say +6, but non-epic.

    Question about STR 0

    In 3.5, you can apply more than one metamagic feat to a spell, but you cannot apply the same metamagic feat to the spell more than once (PH 88). Actually, fatigued characters take a -2 penalty to Str (PH 308). Yes. If his Str is 1 and he is subsequently fatigued, he would drop to Str 0. Not...

    Extra Spell Slot/Extra Spell Known: where?

    I doubt it as well. My rule 0 will still apply, then. :cool:

    Number of attacks?

    Actually, the sling also requires a loading time of 1 move action, same as a light crossbow. So you cannot fire a sling more than once per round. I allow the Rapid Reload feat to be chosen for the sling as well as one of the crossbows, in case someone wants to use a sling at higher levels and...

    Extra Spell Slot/Extra Spell Known: where?

    Sorry, double post. :o

    Extra Spell Slot/Extra Spell Known: where?

    Yes, they are in Tome & Blood, and will probably reappear in Complete Arcane. I have rule 0'd the feat to allow a new spell or slot at any spell level the character currently has, though.

    Three simple questions

    Although the result is correct (AC 18), it is even simpler than that. Shields do not provide an armor bonus, they provide a shield bonus. Therefore, +2 leather armor provides a +4 armor bonus to AC and a +2 heavy steel shield provides a +4 shield bonus to AC, resulting in an AC of 18.

    How long does it take to poison a blade?

    I did not find a specific rule, either, but applying an oil requires a standard action so I would say applying poison to a blade would be a standard action. Of course, unless you have the poison ready, you also have to retrieve the poison from your pouch or backpack and this requires a move...

    Gross D&D Jokes Inside

    Not necessarily gross, but funny. One of my players thinks it's funny for his character to seduce the barmaids during his downtime. The trouble is, charisma was his dump stat, so I tell him that none of the barmaids give him the time of day. So one time, he tells me that he will get what he...

    On Criticals

    Your formula is correct. Everything except extra dice is included in the critical hit multiplier, including smite damage, power attack damage, etc. Sneak attack damage and holy weapon extra damage are examples of extra dice damage that is not included in the critical hit multiplier.

    Ranged, Flanking, Sneak Attack Question

    You cannot flank with a ranged weapon. You may get your sneak attack with a ranged weapon if you are within 30 feet of your target and your target is denied his Dex bonus to AC or is flat-footed. Check out these articles by Skip Williams in the Rules of the Game series entitled All About Sneak...

    Disruption = Bludgeoning only???

    I don't have a problem with the restriction. It seems to be more of a flavor issue than anything else. There is something to be said for tradition or continuity, even if clerics are no longer restricted to bludgeoning weapons. Having said that, I am not going to complain if my DM introduces...

    New rogue special abilities.

    It was just a suggestion. I have not really given it much thought. In my game, you would have to take a level of Assassin, and my players are not evil. Perhaps the prerequisites should be something like this. BAB +4, Hide 6 ranks, Move Silently 6 ranks, Sneak Attack ability, non-good alignment.
