The Jester: Except you don't threaten squares that have soft cover, so the giant rogue would also need an exotic reach weapon and Exotic Weapon Master allowing him to do so, at least how I see it. Now, mind you, if you have a giant rogue WITH those things, more power to you; but you are...

I've gone back and forth on this, but I'm going to side with the 'yes, you can flank with yourself,' provided you get Exotic Weapon Master ability that lets you ignore soft cover and are using an exotic reach weapon (spiked chain being the most likely). Threatening space is intricately tied to...

That may be, but that is not reflected in the rules. Boots of Striding and Springing give +10 speed and +5 Jump. +10 speed off of 30 base speed translates to a +4 bonus to Jump due to speed. If one were to argue that the speed bonus to Jump should be tallied separately, you're talking 2500 for...

Uh. Dude. +5 skill bonus is worth 2500 gp. Which is a rather large chunk of 5500. Reverse engineering gives 2000 gp base cost for a +10 enhancement bonus to speed (because it's then +50% for a dual enchanted weapon, which makes the math square up). This is assuming the item is 100% accurately...

Good suggestion! Water Walk is a 3rd level spell, 10 min/level, and affects multiple targets. I think, again, the power level of Zephyr would be 'fair' when compared to a 2nd level version, 1 min/level, single target.

Artoomis: 'This does not help you because it says you can "maintain concentration on a bardic music effect" and do other things. This is a huge benefit, but the "Inspire" abilities don't require concentration. It means you could, for example, use "Fascinate" and start and maintain "Inspire...

Artoomis: No question the rules as written don't specify that you can't do what you're saying. But I'm arguing the restriction _is_ a natural one flowing from the class description, the nature of the ability, and the general tone of the writing. They just didn't think to specify. Given the...

Other support: War Chanter, Complete Warrior, gets 'combine songs' ability: Combine Songs (Su): A war chanter of 5th level or higher with 12 or more ranks in any Perform skill can combine two types of bardic music or war chanter music to provide the benefits of both. From Races of Stone, the...

That the rules don't specifically say that multiple bardic music instances can't be maintained at once, no argument. But it would also hardly be the only place in the rules where an intended effect was not clearly explained. (See half the discussions on the Rules subforum, or the entire FAQ)...

For 'boots of running,' very easy. Boots of Expeditious Retreat. +30 land speed. Base spell is Spell level 1, Caster level 1, 1 min/level, so 'continuous' wondrous item would be 4000 gp. As for 'boots of the zephyr,' I'd guess at an effect ~ Spell level 2, Caster level 3, 1 min/level, so...

I don't think it's been said, but something that occurs to me ... maybe there's a difference between +2 HD and 2 bonus HD? I mean, there's a difference between loosing 2 levels and gaining 2 negative levels, after all.

Here's a fun combo: Paladin - Pious Templar // Monk Evasion and Mettle, plus blistering saves.

Not directly applicable, but from the FAQ: What type of action does it take for a bard to keep singing or reciting poetry? Unless the ability states that it requires concentration (a standard action), it doesn’t require any kind of action to maintain a bardic music effect. Technically, a bard...

I personally think countries should be run by a panel of male psychologists over the age of 50. It's the only way to have proper perspective, and a sane, coherent approach to running a civilization. Bicycles should be outlawed, because it encourages people to mingle too much across class...

... Man, I'm glad I haven't been in a group like that in more than a decade. Wow.

[deleted, I wasn't paying attention]

Each level the character has to take a level of paladin on one side. If the character ever has a level with two non-paladin classes, the normal restriction kicks in. I mean, by the logic of 'take another class level ever,' you'd never be able to get past level 1 as a paladin. (If I've...

The way we've dealt with it is that each 'side' is treated separately for things like 'can't stop being a paladin.'

Sure, Switchblade, but historically magic shields, particularly those of elven make, were often... DUDE. Seriously. ;)

Some notes: A tower shield can't be mithral because a tower shield is made of wood. +5 tower shield is Hardness 15, 70 hit points. This is one reason why sunder is a bit daft; if your enemy could deal out 70+ hit points of damage on a successful hit, wouldn't he be a LOT better served doing it...
