I believe the bluff check is more suited to DM controlled NPC. The skill dosen't say that, but neither does intimidate. If we went with your ruling on Bluff, than we would have to do the same for intimidate which states You can change other's behavior with a succsesful check For a first...

hmm, if it is all spell effect, what about a hostile cure wounds... (had to throw that in)

Gotta come in with Elder here. I think it is not a good thing to tell the PC they have to believe something unless there is some type of magic involved. If I was a player, and my DM said "You can't tell him he is lying, he made his bluff check" I would be pissed. A good bluff roll means he...

I little off the topic, but I think it would be silly to have flaming spells under water. Sure maybe some seam and spittle, but definetly nothing high enough to cause damage. Electricity, could act as a fireball. Point of orgin being the caster though. Acid, I can see being able yo be used...

I think a one shot counter of a spell, costing 4000 GP is fair. It can only be used once before needing to be recharged. Limiting the spells that would be countered to thoes targeting the user lmits the ring even more than it should be. Also by the text, I have to agree that the way it is...

Re: knockdown is not tripping This sounded good at first, but when I thought about it, it does have some issues. A high level fighter will almost always trip a high level thief who has way more dex. That seems unfair.

sorry, I hate to rant on this, but I can't believe some people are complaining. IF ya can't do it, don't do it. I don;t like how people feel if you aren't setting thing up JUST for them, you are somehow cheating them. Give me a break. It's a cool idea morrus and I hope you get some good designs.

Even an outsider cam have the prime material plane as him home plane. There is a spell in the Manual of the planes that raises outsiders. Other than that, I would say a wish would do it.

I have to agree with the atacker winning. The reason is the wording. it says "if you succeed" there you have a target number to meet or beat, not the defender. Your target is what ever he rolls. If it said have the defender make an opposed roll, if he succeeds, then I would asy the other way.

A couple of things here. I usually agree with everyone, but marshall has a good point with flaming arrow. Do you have to activate each one before you fire. That just seems plain silly. I don't see why they would be the exception. I don't see a balance issue at all with the weapon activating...

I don't know. The last game I ran, the party was together because of circumstance, not any lasting friendship. I think if someon charmed the rogue, and said "him or me" the rogue, would have turned on the party in an instant.

I stand corrected on the ready an action as a partial action. :) Looking at it that way, Make more things possible, and I love options.

The way I see it, is that if you have an inteliigence increase through MOST of your last level, it means you were uding the hightened INT to learn. Therefore, when you level, you may get the extra skill points. You do not get them retroactive. Then, if you lose the item, you do not lose the...

Sorry, but you can not use a partial action to ready. Readying an action is a standard action. You can move, than ready an action, just as you can move and perform any other standard action. What may have you confused is the action you ready can only be a partial action.

Nope this is an assumption from 2nd edition. The players handbook says (I'm sorry, I can't find the specific quote now, when I have more time I will edit this) each person goes on thier inititive, right after the last person. Things happen one after another, not all at the same time. I know...

I have one, I have one. We have a player. We call him Ray. I will not mention the time he used an evil artifact, the whole party was on a major quest to destroy, even though he knew it would take over his soul, and return to his master, to save the rest of the party from a dragon, who they...

Just wondering if this seems balanced. I am starting a new campaign, and one of my players is a priest of Andrade (Fire and Light). Now, he was trying to think up some cool ideas for new spells, and he really likes minotaurs. He asked me if he could make a spell later on in levels that lets...

I believe the italics are just there to name the power. In all other cases, when an item has a special power and they name it, it is in italics (ex. staff of thunder and lightning) Also in all the items, when the item's ability functions as a spell, every one I have read actually sa ys the...

This seems WAY too pwerful.WAY WAY WAY to powerful. Why would anyone NOT take it. First, your skill with weapins already increases by level, based on class. This assumes the time that a character can spend training with it. Addding more bonuses every level or two just dosent seem right...

I see no problem with it. With haste you can make your movement, atack then with the partial action move away. Why now use it for a charge. I look at the hasted action as a completley seperate action which has no effect on the other actions of the round. (for the most part.)
