    Does sniping while hidden deal sneak attack damage?

    I disagree only that Sniping would deny dex/use flat footed ac. although there are not any rules to support it (That I know of) sniping would be more like flanking despite the fact it is not a team effort. ---Rusty

    Why are hit points generated randomly?

    Quoted for Truth. Random rolls in general are a scared cow that is being dismissed. Why have random HP when you can have fixed hp? Why have random stats when you can choose fixed amounts? I see this as why have a chance of high or low stats when you can have medium or high stats. RPGs are...

    Martial Adepts and PHB Classes

    I do this in my campaign, I find the best way to have non Bo9s characters have as followes. Maneuvers known: 1 starting, 1 at 10th level, one at 20th Stances known: As a warlocks Invocations Stances Readied: Wisdom bonus. This leaves non Bo9s characters a step behind bo9s characters while...

    Search vs. Spot

    But, if you are in a wearhouse searching for a ring, and it is in a closed box, unlabed, next to you, you do not make a spot check to find it, you make a search check. ---Rusty

    Search vs. Spot

    Spot is a instantaneous action. In the example you gave, if the enemy's head is poking out, then can 'spot' it. Search is taking time to find something. If the enemy is well hidden in a dark corner, then the players would have to search for him. It is all how much time the players want to...

    Feint for ranged attacks or turn a ray into a melee touch attack?

    CS has 'skill tricks' that if you can make a spot= enemy ac then your attack is a touch. I don't have the book on me so I don't know if it applies to melee only. ---Rusty

    Just picked up RIFTs for the first time since 1993 ...

    http://forums.palladium-megaverse.com/viewtopic.php?t=53080 Rifts is fine as is, once you get use to the difference between d20 and Palladium. Palladium is more rules light and not 'buried' in paragraphs. Most of the rules are AD&D in a different way, and in some ways, even better. ---10th...

    Damage Groups

    There is alot of discussion every now and again about 'called shots' however never of them seem to ever bear fruit. The two most common types are the hit by location dice, and the dmg list of -2 hit/-2 skill. I suggest two more types to add to this list, which work in a rather abstract way...
