    2 PCs charge 1 NPC from same direction

    See, that's the problem. Why do you choose center-to-center? Why not corner-to-corner? If you take that same piece of string and stretch it from the nearest corner of your square to the nearest corner of the opponent's square, you'll have a diferent situation to the "directly towards" question.

    Character Build: 12th-level primary arcane caster

    I was going to suggest something very close to Li Shenron's sorcerer. Make the character the opposite sex of the PC, a troubled teen with distant, incompetent parents. The character is working through some issues with guilt about accidental arson, a failed relationship, and is suffering from...

    Mounted Fighter

    Consider the Leadership feat to get yourself a good mount. A heavy warhorse is okay at level 6, but by level 12 it will die in the first couple of rounds of combat about half the time.

    +1 of existing spellcasting class??

    There are some class features that are gained by this "+1 of existing spellcasting class" and some that are not. Typically, a prestige class will grant an increase in caster level, an increase in spells known (for sorcerers, bard and other spontaneous casters) and an increase in spells per day...

    2 PCs charge 1 NPC from same direction

    And not if you are measuring distance by D&D rules, with 5 ft. diagonals.

    Produce Flames and Cure x Wounds

    Don't vote; read the rules. Produce Flame is not a Touch spell, so it does not obey the rules for Touch spells.

    Defending weapon property

    You're not getting the picture. Because of the overlap rules, this weapon has only a +2 enhancement bonus. When you transfer all of it to AC, ALL of it goes to AC.

    Defending weapon property

    Your weapon effectively reverts back to being a masterwork weapon since both its +1 magical enhancement bonus and it Defending ability are suppressed while you're in the AMF, so yes, your AC goes down and your attack bonus does increase. It doesn't bother me that you find this absurd. I know...

    Best Animal Companion Choice

    Consider the Cheetah. Three attacks per round, a free trip attack with every hit. Mount up, share a Bull's Strength with him and watch the fur fly. Make sure you get the Handle Animal trick to attack an unusual opponent. Cast Produce Flame to get your own hits in. Share Produce Flame with...

    Defending weapon property

    I looked at this in detail some months ago. I noticed that the wording of the Defending ability and the overlapping of named bonuses interacts a little oddly here. This appears to be the key question: Are you transfer some or all of the enhancement bonus to AC? If you transfer all of the...

    Produce Flames and Cure x Wounds

    The druid can touch the recipient of the Cure spell with the other hand. Produce Flame is not a traditional Touch spell. It's like a fancy Light spell that you can also use as a weapon, but each use reduces the duration of the Light effect.

    Something About Bullrush

    Glad to help. Per your diagram, D would end up in any one of the three squares, F, F or A -- equal chance since they're all equidistant from D's starting square. But getting bull rushed into a wall has the same effect -- D never falls prone as a result of a bull rush (unless A has the Shock...

    Something About Bullrush

    SRD: That pretty much sums it up. In your diagram, Goolpsy, A can bull rush D into square X, so D would move to its last legal position -- but that position is occupied by A, so D moves to the closest legal position. If more than one position is available, roll randomly to determine which...

    Grease - Uses of and effectivity.

    I formerly thought, like Thanee, that standing still in the area of effect of a Grease spell would require a Balance check, even though (as Jeff Wilder points out), the spell description only specifically requires Balance check while moving. But then came the June FAQ with this entry: This...

    Attacking Grapplers

    That's no house rule. That's how the sneak attack rules read. Sneak attack only affects the target. If you hit someone other than the target (in a grapple, bull rush, Ellusive Target, whatever), there's no sneak attack damage.

    Evil casters using [good] spells ?

    We were fighting a Death Slaad, and the rest of the party looked to my Chaotic Good elven cleric for an Align Weapon spell. "Sorry," I had to say, "we chaotic clerics can't cast [Lawful] spells. Just hit it harder, guys." Strangely enough, the rules for a multiclass cleric/wizard also seem to...

    Net? Help!!!

    How would you folks determine what happens when a creature is entangled by multiple nets? Let's say there's a 15th level character with Boots of Speed, Two-Weapon Fighting feat and Quickdraw feat. He hurls five nets at an opponent in one round and entangles that opponent with all of them...

    What's up with shuriken?

    3.5e shurikens are a bit different. They can be drawn as a free action and used as a monk weapon for Flurry of Blows. My 14th level character with 24 Str, Boots of Speed, two levels of monk (Flurry -2/-2) and two levels of ranger (two-weapon fighting) could theoretically hurl six of these per...
