    Too funny. Man, those games must drag on...!? /ds

    Combat in the Woods

    OK. So I see we have the visual representation down. Then you get string and carefully draw LOS all the time? I'm actually looking for a good method that doesn't necessitate the need for foodstuffs, monies, or other household items. Thanks. /ds

    How would you keep a Frenzied Beserker from killing the whole party?

    Re: jury is out You can twist it however you want to rationalize your decision. Most of us are thinking about impact of the _game_ should the FB be played true. If your DM is not conerned about being true to the class, he can devise many ways, or heck, even remove the uncontrollable rage, to...

    How would you keep a Frenzied Beserker from killing the whole party?

    Re: We'll see Obviously I don't know the make-up of your players, but how would you feel if everytime you went frenzy, your party members attempted to kill you (a little eye-for-an-eye)? And probably succeeding on more than one occassion...? /ds

    How would you keep a Frenzied Beserker from killing the whole party?

    Re: We'll see Absolutely not. There is no comparison. The mage was _forced_ to do it magically. By enemy spells. The FB, in this case, is _choosing_ to pursue this path and use his abilities. /ds

    Combat in the Woods

    Can you give some examples of X for various densities, please? For example, what would you use for X in light and heavy forests? Thanks. /ds

    Shield vs. Grapple

    I told my buddy that I would post this even though I am fairly certain of the answer. Does the shield spell apply as AC against touch attacks, grapple included? /ds

    Hiding vs. Opposed Roll

    When is an opposed roll (Spot) used against Hiding? The DMG states that the Hide DC is 25 + Hide skill + modifiers for the standard distances. Is this only for ambush type encounters? That means that a dire rat hiding in the trash has a DC = 25 + 11 Hide + 4 size = 40. No character is going...

    Combat in the Woods

    The DMG has spotting distances for heavy and light woods. The PHB says that movement overland through trackless forest is decreased by 1/2. This does not apply to tactical movement. In combat that occurs in forests/jungle, I am guessing that DM's don't draw out every tree. This would be...

    Disabled Condition

    Just to verify--the disabled condition only means that strenuous activity will take you to -1, and you can only take partial actions. Does this mean defense? In other words, do you mantain your shield and dexterity bonus? /ds

    How would you keep a Frenzied Beserker from killing the whole party?

    I do not think that if your best friend beat you to a pulp on two occassions, both times sending you to the hospital, that you would continue to associate with that person. Or rather, not at least without supervision (guards) and in a non-threatening environment (cell). Then again, you could...

    Choatic Neutral or Choatic Evil?

    The alignment issue is a hard one, for sure. We would all like to think that commiting murder, in a case like this, is an evil act which causes an alignment shift. However... The neutral on the good/evil access means that the person in question tries to hold the balance between good and evil...

    How would you keep a Frenzied Beserker from killing the whole party?

    I agree with a couple of the other posters. I wouldn't party with someone that had no control over his faculties. It is much like having a D&D 2e CN Barbarian in the party. Some of the prestige classes in these expansion books do not make good player characters; they make great NPCs. This...

    Glyph of Warding

    A room is protected by a glyph of warding. To pass through it, a phrase must be spoken. Does each character that wishes to pass through have to speak the phrase if they are in a group? /ds

    Bull-rushing Into Occupied Square

    What about the following diagram: YEA| where Y is you, E is enemy, A is ally, | is a wall, and each letter represents a 5-ft. square. Can Y bull-rush E? What happens if Y wins the bull-rush? /ds

    Aid Another

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Aid Another I guess we'll have to disagree. If someone starts to run or draw a potion, I definately think I can push his butt off-balance (bull rush) or slam him against a wall. And then I could twist all sorts of things for aid, too. It makes sense and you have not provided...
