If the FaQ says that the attack from a ray spell doesn't count as an action at all I don't see the issue...The spell gives them a ranged touch attack, but they are treated as if they did nothing at all. I think a good comparison would be to casting quickened spells. They don't provoke even...

lol...I apparently skipped that section of your post....I read right up to it and all the stuff after it. Skipped to the end of the paragraph after the bit about how it was game-breaking. Similar issue is once PCs can cast 5th level spells....Wall of Iron creates a very LARGE amount of real...

That's my point frank....There is a reasonable assumption that if the rogue gets into trouble then the other PCs will back him up. Most PCs would probably face alignment shifts if they didnt help. So where do you draw the line? If a PC is in a position where they can reasonably respond to...

The way I see it. A monster shows up and attacks...At this point, all members of the party are at risk. Regardless of how the combat unfolds, everyone involved receives exp except for people that completely run away. One PC isn't supposed to be penalized for another PCs actions...meaning the...

I wouldn't let my PCs get away with dirty tricks like that Aboyd...The PCs could quickly end up as murder suspects, or thieves. Is there no such thing as a wills or inheritance laws in your game world? Do the hirelings not have some sort of agency or organization that keeps records of such...

If the PCs are in the dungeon that contains the trap, and the party eventually gets PAST the trap, then they helped. Even if they backed up 100ft and let the rogue roll the disarm check etc....They still helped keep the rogue alive/guarded him/took a chance that the rogue failed at disarming it...

Is there such a thing as a supernatural feat? A level 20 wizard has a base fort save of around +6....maybe another 5 if they have an decent con and an amulet of health. so a +5 cloak of resistance = around +45% to their normal save. I wouldn't call that minor. The strongest epic poisoner I...

You should scrap XP awards altogether...Tell the PCs when they can level up. If players take crafting feats, then award them a small amount of exp each level to use in crafting, whatever amount seems reasonable and non-abusive. Completely takes the focus away from 'zomg we need to kill 2 more...

Ego whip is one of those powers that's in the 'mutual non-use proliferation agreement' in my D&D games....Don't ever use it on the DMs monsters unless you want the DMs monsters to use it against you. Along with Disjunction, Black tentacles, and Psionic dispel, some things are just plain broken...

I think it's generally a terrible idea to let someone pick which save to target with a poison. And the mechanical aspect of that doesn't really make any sense to me. Poisons attack a persons internal organs....You can't will away, or bluff yourself into not being hurt by them. Barring...

Arkhandus, I started BvS from your link when u were S1 lv 52. Hurry up and loop!

I agree with irdeggman

That's the thing....With teleport, you don't have to specify exactly how far from your current location you want to go. You don't have to know how far away your desired location is. You just have to envision the location. If you just had the dream last night, I'd say that is a pretty fresh...

sounds like you already know what to do...the players will probably not have much fun during a drug out fight with a bunch of tripe...LV2 npcs arent even worth experience for a lv 9. Just put in a DM designed encounter....an elite squad of pirates, or maybe the pirates paid off a group of Kuo...

I don't think so. Unless the ability says 'this ability can be used in place of the Enlarge Spell feat' or something similar. One of the books talks about using 'virtual feats' to qualify for stuff, but as far as I know only actual feats qualify for that. Isn't Loremaster already really easy...

Threads like this make me laugh...I thought it was a joke. But it seems like the OP might actually be serious serious. I also love how he works in so many powerful terms like calling his DM the R-word, hating him, and how 'not straight' = deviant. I can't think of anything helpful to...

wait... So the 2-weapon fighting rules actually make it more effective to NOT fight with 2 weapons? That doesn't make any sense to me. I thought the TwF feat gives you 1 extra attack with an 'off hand weapon'? How can you have an off hand if that other hand is grabbing a glaive?

with tumble as a class skill full plate is mostly not worth it. It's better than nothing until he can afford a mithral Breastplate tho. There are too many good maneuvers and stances that rely on or grant extra movement/maneuverability. And nobody expects the guy in shiny metal armor with a...

Uncanny dodge does not allow a creature to keep its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) when it physically cannot move. If you're grappled, held, helpless, incapacitated, pinned, or stunned, you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class. If you're attacked while climbing, you also cannot use...

It's funny after so many years how many people still think sorcerers meta-magic spells take 1-round to cast. A full round action does NOT take longer than your current initiative. It goes off on your turn and you can even take a 5-foot step before or after. All it does is deny you your move...
