Re: Re: Grapple (Multiple Grapplers) You got it. I thought that the additional enemies were those that were able to grapple you, but wasn't sure if it was a requirement on multiple grapplers (meaning they aided in the attempt and not actually doing the grapple). Does this mean the 6 orcs with...

Re: Re: Aid Another That makes sense, and I agree, but from the PHB pg. 135: It doesn't say anything about being in melee, only if you can attack and someone else is engaged in melee. I don't have the FAQ readily available so maybe it clarifies it in there. Yes, but attacking normally is a...

I infer that if you bull-rush a person into an occupied square (ally or enemy), they fall prone. This is from the failed bull-rush wording that writes the attacker falls prone if he fails and his square is occupied. What happens when someone is prone in your square and your turn comes up? Do...

How many people can "aid another"? As many people that threaten the enemy? There doesn't seem to be any limit. And the aid another action just states that you make an attack against AC 10. Can this attack be ranged? Or do you have to be in melee? A medium-sized creature could be attacked...

The PHB pg. 138 notes that depending on the size categories of the actors involved, multiple opponents can grapple you. Then it states "Additional enemies can aid their friends with the aid another action." The section does not say how to adjudicate multiple grapplers unless the "additional...

This is not a rule. If it is, please point me to the book and page. (If it was one, it would apply to Sunder as well.) /ds

The problem I have is when you have a door that has a hardness of X and the fighter can do a maximum of X+1 damage and wants to beat on it until it breaks. At higher levels, there are no standard doors that a fighter cannot break through. "What? Adamantite door? Bah. I'll go through it...

I'll pass that on. FYI, any comments on the "broken" point buy? /ds

My friend is quite intelligent, but can be a little excitable. He is a professional software engineer for what its worth. As for the instruction manual, he did install all three zip files. Whenever he tried to bring up the help, the window (the help one) crashed. You can blame me for his...

Explicitives Beware *** Warning: Explicitives in Post *** I am hoping that the board filter will swap a lot of the explicitives in this post. This is from a friend that I pointed to PCGen v. 2.6.7. I personally enjoy PCGen, FYI, but here's an unfettered opinion on trying to use PCGen for the...

A standard monster is about 14-15 pts. in point buy. If you jack him up to 32 pts., does this change the CR? What's a good rule of thumb? /ds

Question about natural, secondary weapons. If a minotaur attacks with an axe, can he use his gore attack if he does a full-attack action? What about if he gets 2 attacks/round with his axe? Does he get the gore? Now... in that situation, does multiattack apply? Or do the attacks have to...

Problems I noticed with 2.6.7. Running on Linux was _not_ fast. In fact, it seemed like it slowed down quite noticeably. Books loaded = WotC Core I-III Java VM is Sun's Java 2 Standard v. 1.4.0-b92 Also, creating a Minotaur and trying to point-buy complains that there are no pool points...

Say the PCs encounter the goblins in a fair fight (EL 1), aren't able to finish them off, retreat, approach from a different angle (like climbing into a barn), and are surprised by the same goblins (EL variable). Would the PCs get double XP for the same goblins? /ds

Howdy. CRs are used to determine ELs. ELs are modified based on CRs and situations. XP is awarded against...? From the DMG pg. 166-167, I get the impression the XP is awarded against CR and _modified_ by EL. A few examples: Four goblins (CR 1/4) in a fair fight is EL1. Four goblins...

If a dwarf was walking in a newly constructed passage, he might be able to know that it is indeed new. He gets a +2 racial bonus on "checks". What type of check would this be? Spot? Search? Craft (stoneworking)? The stonecunning description suggests that it might be an "automatic search"...

As rule of thumb, do the PCs automatically "Take 10" when the DM needs a Listen or Spot check? The corollary would be that they only roll dice when actively "listening" or "spotting" (full-round action). Imagine the PCs are walking through town, casually, not expecting anyone to be sneaking up...

Does anyone know what truetype font set that Dungeon magazine and other modules use that have these symbols: Arrow (representing a trap) Sword (representing treasure) Shield (representing structure stats like doors or walls) Dragon Head (representing creatures) I've searched around with no luck...

That was exactly what spurred me into posting.

Howdy. A goblin is a d8 HD creature. If it takes class levels, does it use the hit die of that class? My guess is--yes. So a L1 goblin sorceror would have d4 hitpoints. Do monsters with class levels typically follow that they get max hitpoints at 1st level and normal HD thereafter? My...
