The impaling thing and other concerns For the hit points vs. being impaled thing, couldn't you envision it as the stalagmite grows and stabs through a limb (for those seriously, but not fatally, injured) or just scrapes the target badly and gets caught between the target's clothing/armor and...

The order of levels matters If you really want Divine Might and Divine Shield in NWN2, you can do it even if they don't fix the rules. What you have to do is take your Paladin levels at just the right times. For the first case, I'll assume that--like the original NWN--you don't have to take...

What I think Agback was essentially saying is that you can't add a full round of damage from the Dexterous Monk, but only 0.07 rounds worth of expected damage. The difference there is significant. The Dexterous Monk only survives an average of 0.07 rounds longer (as an average value), but you...

In response to boredgremlin: Clearly, a charismatic and inspiring general, such as Spartacus, is probably not a pure and unmodified PHB Fighter. Personally, I am fond of the modifying character classes guidelines on page 174 of the DMG and of the multiclassing options available. For modifying...

A little more healing Of course, if you qualify for (and take) Arcane Disciple: Healing, you also qualify for the Spontaneous Healer feat so long as you are not evil. I think that means that, for the cost of an additional feat, you can cast those cure spells an additional number of times equal...

A few reasons First, most of the orbs are subject to energy resistance. Arcane Fire, despite its name, is not. (Granted, this does not apply to Orb of Force.) Second, there is a matter of range. The Orb spells are Close range. Arcane Fire has a much longer range (between the range of Medium...

In one less level: 1st Level up: Change Greater Weapon Focus (Longsword) to Weapon Focus (Greataxe) 2nd Level up: Change Weapon Focus (Longsword) to Greater Weapon Focus (Greataxe) Similar changes could be made for longer feat trees, but the idea is there. It also avoids the reality disconnect...

A point-by-point argument, if you don't mind the format. Don't overestimate the skills of the commoners. They have 12 skill points. As you point out, they are likely to spend a portion of those and their two feats on life-skills (profession and craft). Even if they do manage to squeak out a...

No, not "plenty" of intelligence. Just not excessive stupidity. As RobotRobotI pointed out, they aren't animals and shouldn't be underplayed; they will consider very basic tactics and advantages. That, and a healthy dose of barbarism. There weren't any advanced tactics in the raid that I...

Under cover of Darkness One might also be inclined to point out that orcs have darkvision (60'), and would be aware that most humans do not. That means they would probably raid at night, possibly when it is overcast and/or moonless. The partial or total concealment offered by being in total...

Not usually Unless the prestige class specifically says so, it does not. In fact, that is the one thing most sorceror/wizard prestige classes give up.

Attack an Object Personally, I think the core of this has nothing to do with touch spells. My thoughts on this center on the "Attack an Object" options. By my way of thinking, attacking an object is far closer to touching a helpless person than either picking up an object or opening a door...

Anime-style fighting That seems accurate to me. So far, so good. By some readings, particularly in 3.0, the -2 penalty from Monkey Grip was applied to all attacks made that round. Rereading the 3.5 version, it looks like this is no longer the case. I should point out that there is really no...

The offhand at second level is miscalculated. You show total bonuses of +6 (BAB, STR, Axe Focus) and total penalties of -6 (Oversized/Monkey-gripped weapon, TWF with non-light in off hand). That should be a total of +0 to offhand attack. Everything else looks good, except the anime-style...

Hi, all.
