    Finished Crossroads of Time, Rant

    Hate to say it, but I have to agree. I have loved all of the book up until now, but this one really was a piece of crap. Nothing happened. It was horrible.

    PARRY and RIPOSTE - are they balanced feats?

    I have used a version like the one in Dragon for a while now, almost since third Ed came out. I do it a bit diff though. I let you parry one opponent as many times as you have AoO, and you have to take a feat. You can take a second feat to allow you to parry attacks from multiple opponents...

    Giving EP to group with lvl differences?

    EL is not CR. It is used to determine if the number of creatures would be a good challenge for the party. not for exps. Xps are based off of CR only.

    Cleave at the end of a charge....

    No, as I said it would be a decision where the dm steps in. In your first example, I would say that the pcs aren't close enough to get in the way. In the second, I would thing the pcs moved enough in his square and judged the right time where he can line up the opponents. I am not out to make...

    Like the game, hate the habits

    I really hate to say this, but I think you made the right decision on not playing there. I would like to point out that asking them not to, no matter how politely, as some have mentioned would in my opinion be selfish. Now I know how that sounds, but fist I want to say I don't smoke. I have...

    Cleave at the end of a charge....

    I think this is a case where the DM shuold step in and say that the PC cannot attack b, instead he has to hit the goblin adjacent to a. I know the rules don;t sirectly say that, but it make much more sense for the concept and the spirit of the cleave. If the PC were charging with a lance, I...

    Question about the feat "Spell Mastery"

    For skill points I do it a bit differently. Because it represent things you have learned over a period of time, if you have had the item for a whole level, and have worn it a majority of the time, when you level you get extra skill points. This represent the easier time you had learning those...

    Dragon Disciple question

    It dosen't matter what your hit dice are currently, as each level is taken seperate. The word "Hit-Dice increase" it the name of the ability that your dragon nature is comming out, and your hit dice increse as you gain levels in the class. If you take a level of fighter with a d10 for hit...

    Question about the feat "Spell Mastery"

    The same he gets ever level. Two. It doesn't depend on your intelligence. A wizard can add two spells to his spell book each level. If you are talking about memorization bonus spells. I would say at the time he memorizes the spells, he can memorize as many as his intelligence allows. So if...

    Why are these evil?!?

    You don't have to bond with evil to learn how to kill. You have to become evil to take the prestige class Assassin. The class which is for an evil player. If you want to give death attack to another class, then fine. The person dosen't have to be evil. You are looking at it the wrong way...

    Why are these evil?!?

    evil Sorry, but in my opinion assasination is evil. It isn't the fact of the kiling, it is the willingness to do it. When a good person kills an evil creature, it is good, (It is getting rid of evil). It is not the killing. When a good person kills a neutral or good person, he feels bad...

    newbie painter looking for advice

    Thoes sites are where I learned about how to paint. They are very useful, but unfortunatley not in this case. I am just have trouble getting a good color, to higlight the black. Black on grey is a great idea, but it gives the effect of fur. As these creatures are made of shadow (just look...
