The tone of your post does not suggest that you care about the development of your character, but rather you also are trying to min/max, or rather complaining that you are forced to min/max to have a less "suckier" character. I say get over it. Those who "actually care...and things like...

Howdy. I don't have my materials with me, so please excuse this post if it is covered in the core books and easily referenced. How does load affect flying creatures? IIR, the Monster Manual mentions carrying capacities of flying creatures, especially those that can be mounts. Does this...

That is a poor example. In most cases (and that is what rules try to cover, most cases), the Mnk 20/Sor20 is going to be a better fighter and worst magic user than the Sor20/Mnk20 who will be the better magic user and worse fighter. The reason is that character progressing as either one of the...

Your argument is flawed. In most cases, a character whose first 20 levels are in Fighter would make a weak mage; the primary attributes are wrong for that class. Given that statement, a Ftr20/Wiz20 is going to be a better fighter and worse mage than the Wiz20/Ftr20 who is a better mage and...

Yes. The common, ignorant townsman isn't going to differentiate a bag of holding from his wife's linen sack, but adventurers would recognize it on the spot. Or rather, they would almost always assume that it was the mystical bag and nothing less. A cloth sack on the backs of well-armored folk...

Spellcraft Checks and Dispel Oftentimes in this post, there were references to making Spellcraft checks. This is required to determine the school of magic with detect magic. The spell says that you can make Spellcraft checks for each aura. Is the check a FRA or MEA? In general, are the...

I ran an encounter where the players were being shot from a distance. I played it with the following rules: Normal Hide vs. Spot rolls (including the distance) +2 cumulative circumstance bonus per round that the enemy fired their bows Attacking within 30 ft. gave away their position As a...

Not when a EL 40 encounter nets you 250k in gold. (I briefly looked at the award tables when I was in my gaming shop, so I am probably off... but the numbers were up there.)

You can wash it out in combat. If you have a waterskin available, as an FRA, I'd allow it. /ds

I think sleeping is -10. I would give a -2 for drunkedness.

N'mind.

The current table for carrying loads (from the SRD): Table: Carrying Loads Max Check ----- Speed ------- Load Dex Penalty (30 ft.) (20 ft) Run ---- --- ------- -------- ------- --- Medium +3 -3...

Under closer examination, though, the numbers do not seem steep enough. A character that has a strength to wear full plate and carry a tower shield and still be lightly loaded has around a -8 (I don't recall the numbers off-hand) ACP. He can remove that and strap it on his back and have a 0...

Re: Re: Climb Check Oddities Yes I did! Thanks a bunch. /ds

Do you find it odd that if you climb with full-plate and tower shield, you get a huge armor check penalty, but if you strip down and strap it on your back you can climb with ease? A mid-level thief, naked, can carry the hoard of Smaug (up to maximum weight allowance) on his back crossing a...

Yup. Though it starts disappating immediately and becomes total darkness at 20-ft. The rules, however, allow you to see out to 20-ft. as well-lit. BTW, 20-ft. is very gracious. A friend and I fashioned a torch and lit it on a moonless night. By our guesstimation, the light didn't even go...

That's nutty. Is this in the DMG around pg. 58? I'll have to re-read that when I get home tonight. /ds

A character has an antimagic field surrounding him. He sees an illusion that is beyond the range of the field. He is affected by it, yes? The same character sees a powerful magical item that, upon seeing it, will suck his soul into it on a failed Willpower save. The item is beyond the range...

I think the previous poster was intending something else. [list=1] The FB goes into a frenzy. Is there a distinction between enemies and allies? The PrC suggests that there is since when all enemies are dead, it attacks the nearest ally. Before all the enemies are dead, and since the party...

OK. I will try this in my next session and see how it works. The party is in dense woods right now. Two more questions resulting from this conversation: 1) IIRC, run can only be done in straight lines. This means that if you are 30 ft. from a 90 degree turn, you can only take a double move...
