How do you blind someone during their iterative attack sequence?

Cool. Essentially, the only thing likely to change the circumstances significantly is the ending of an invisibility effect as a result of making the first of the iterative attacks.

1) What is the rule regarding whether iterative attacks can gain the benefit of sneak attack damage? I'd prefer cites if possible, 2) Same question for scout skirmish damage and ninja sudden strike damage. 3) Are there any other SA variants?

Stormwrack says Spot in an ocean terrain setting goes to 4d8×10 feet (average 180 feet). That gets doubled for each size class increase, to an average of 2880 feet for a Colossal object or creature. That's a little over half a mile, which is still pretty pathetic. I'm not sure where you got the...

Powerful build and Monkey Grip don't stack. Additionally, Monkey Grip specifically only works with melee weapons, and I don't see where you're getting powerful build from. The only races I am aware of with powerful build are the goliath and the feral gargun, both from Races of Stone. Since a...

Just noticed that the OP was asking specifically about "Large fullblades", not the regular fullblade. Now, a regular fullblade, converted to 3.5e, is treated as a Large greatsword. So it would logically follow that a Large fullblade (not sure if such a thing can actually exist under raw, but...

Darnit, you made me look it up now... Assumption: A Medium creature (eg. a human) trying to use a Large greatsword. Monkey Grip: This would let you use a Large greatsword at a -2 attack penalty. Note that it has no benefit at all if you try using a Huge weapon (this is a common misconception)...

Combat Statistics :: d20srd.org There's no question here that an off-hand weapon always only ever gains 1/2 the Strength bonus, regardless of TWF. Special Attacks :: d20srd.org Shield bashing is discussed in the context of TWF, and it seems reasonable to read it as saying that it is...

The alacrity (?) chain of spells from Spell Compendium allows you to borrow actions from the near-future to gain more actions. I'd generally allow converting a standard action to a swift action, but not a move action. 5-ft steps are an integral part of a full attack action, and can't be...

In modern times, left-handedness is nothing weird at all. But most of us aren't playing campaigns set in 21st century USA or Europe. In medieval times, it was widely considered a sign of evil witchcraft. Historically, many women were burned at the stake for this, almost as many men shunned for...

ok, drop the perform penalty. The rest seems to make more sense. I was thinking more along the lines of P/singing or P/oratory though when I added that bit in. That's the problem with cascade skill listings - too broad use brush-stokes with them most of the time.

How about a trait? Ambidexterity (trait) Benefit: You can attack with a weapon in your off-hand without incurring the normal off-hand penalties. If attacking with two weapons, normal two-weapon fighting rules apply, modified by any feats you may have. You gain a +1 bonus on Sleight of Hand...

For 4 ranks in K/the planes, a character should have access to the potted plane summaries from the DMG. 4 ranks in K/religion gives you a summary of all the major and minor deities in the campaign (for those cultures that are friendly to, trading partners with, or actively hostile to the PC's...

As others have said, the levels stack, but the number of uses don't stack. It's similar to druid/ranger animal companions in that regard - one animal companion, but combine the effective levels to determine how powerful the animal is.

@dandu As I noted earlier, it's entirely a YMMV situation. There are plenty of situations which could be solved by a high-level spell, true, but most sensible sorcerers would prefer to reserve his spells known for spells he knows he will need ever day, rather than those obscure utility spells...

Yes, he loses one level of sorcerer casting. Sorcerer is still a tier 1 class, way ahead of anything except cleric and sorcerer, which means even with a one-level drop in his primary casting class, he is ahead of the curve. In exchange, he gets not just a single 3rd level spell (which he'd get...

Being ale to scribe any 1st level spell he ever finds, instead of just the 4 or so he "knows", seems like a very good benefit to me. YMMV.

If the spellbook spells are 1st level, it would be worth considering taking a single level of wizard. That gives you all the class features you need to scribe those scrolls.

The fullblade was never carried over into 3.5. The recommended conversion is, I believe, to treat it as a great sword designed for a Large creature. This would mean that a human (or medium creature) with Monkey grip and/or powerful build) (nb. these do NOT stack) could wield it in two hands. I...

Shakespeare used they as the 3rd person gender-unknown singular pronoun. If it's good enough for him, it's good enough or me.
