It would depend entirely on the campaign I am running, but in general I have no problems with any specific race. Birthright: no elves, half-orcs and gnomes. Current FR: Only races with dark-vision (basically only dwarves with an adopted half-orc) because we wanted to run an Underdark dwarven...

I am the first to admit that I do not know the exact rules on this, but IMC I consider the touch attack part of spellcasting. If you do not attack during the casting of the spell though it becomes a regular attack. This means that if you cast a spell and then move you cannot attack with the...

I am going to be a bit nit-picky here and if you prefer slightly modified rules more fun to you. Actually, a rogue does get a sneak attack with all his attacks. You are refering to the time when a rogue makes several attack rolls with ONE attack (shurikens and some spells mainly). Still, your...

I allow the spells and I have never had trouble with players abusing them. First of all, casting a spell in public can have serious precursions. Either the people around do not know what you are casting and then they will most likely react as if you are drawing a weapon. If they do know what you...

I prefer the 4d6 drop the lowest to the point systems. In the first place because 8 is the minimum with the point system and in the second place because the point system greatly favours non-humans. Besides, a bit of randomness can be fun. I do make sure, the PCs are more or less of equal power...

I am sorry, but I am not too good with finding quotes. For the actualy quotes others will need to fill in. I am pretty sure it was detailed in at least 1 sage advice, but I do not know what number. As a Triad member for the RPGA LG Campaign I have also seen an official reply by the design team...

Let me see. Active Campaign - 1 out of 5 in one group 2 out of 6 in an other group 2 out of 5 in the next group High Level, one shot adventure - 2 out of 6 Finished Campaigns - 0 out of 6 1 out of 6 All the people that multi-class do it because of it fits the character concept. Nobody...

Currently I am playing a lawful good fighter/sorcerer who worships Ilmater (lg god from the FR) and he is hardly brave, just or arrogant. He is a charasmatic fighter, always chosing to do the good thing, who is willing to sacrifice his life for others and who is open to admit it when ever he...

I have checked both the descriptions of polymorph self and alter self on the SRD. The alter self spell does not mention the wizard can alter forms after the spell is cast, while the polymorph self spell specificly mentions this ability. This shows me that once a form is chosen with alter self...

But long bows do 1d8 dmg and short bow do 1d6 damage. I have no idea if there is a difference between the arrows of these two bows per official rules (I don't have access to the PHB at the moment). I do know there is a difference between crossbow bolts and arrows by the rules. Personally I would...

Actually, the rogue can only fight with all daggers from the simple weapons list and the kukri is NOT a dagger. Two things that have been detailed in official errata's (or at least pointed out by designers on several places). So a rogue can use a kukri without a feat, but with a -4 penalty to...

Then why mention the 2d4 dmg from burning away the web? After all, damage due to burning oil or a torch are detailed elsewhere. Reading your quote of the spell, I would probably let the web be burned away at 5 ft per turn radiating from the starting point. This would not make it instant, but...

Combine it with expeditious retreat and it also becomes quite effective ;) What I am wondering at though is what happens when you attack an opponent with reach. Does that opponent still gains an AOO or not? Quote from SRM:

With the feat 'combat reflexes' you can make attacks of oppertunity while flat fooded. According to the rules you are not flat-footed anymore as soon as you do your first action. If that first action is an AOO gained due to the feat, are you still flat-footed? I am interested in this, because...

What sense is there in borrowing a spellbook? Mind you, I do not know the details of 'any spell' domain spell, but if it is similar to a wizard preparing a spell you will need to have a book of your own. Before a wizard can prepare a spell -even from a borrowed/stolen spell book- the wizard...

You know, my druid player actually thinks entangle stinks. Why? Becuase it works with the natural undergrowth and hence is only really effective in forrests and areas with a lot of shrubs and/or high grass. Besides the fact that my campaign takes place in high mountains (with little...

On a side note: That would be entirely up to your interpretation. IMO these advancing monsters where not always of that size, they grew there from the more basic variant of their own species. It is not as if these advanced creatures are a new species. So they DID gain it because of gaining a...

IMO you are looking at it from the wrong way. You should not do comparisons. Just take a look at what exactly the size increase does. The character gains an effective +3 Atk, +6 Dmg, +lvl hit points, reach, -something on hide and the ability to use huge weapons and carry a lot more load. The dex...

I rule 0 it as well, especially where humans are concerned. Since humans though are a rather dominant force in my campaign I do limit it to the five major cultures there are on the continent. In the FR you can also more or less take your own race as a favoured enemy, because they allow...

Personally I never look out with anticipation for a movie. The Lord of the Rings was actually the first movie that I really wanted to see. Normally I simply wait to see what is actually shown here (and not all movies shown in the USA are actually shown in Europe) and if I have the time to go to...
