OK, let's say you still can. How often will that come up with regard to one of the many uses of the Heal skill ? Yet, They thought that Heal would be one of the two skills which should benefit from a feat called "Self Sufficient" with which "you can take care of yourself in harsh environments...

Sure, but you won't get any benefit from it. The two instances where bandaging yourself via heal actually helps is Long Term Care (expressly forbidden by the rules) and First Aid (helping someone at neg HP's). So... yeah. You can bandage yourself after a battle in which you suffered wounds...

... and you would have discovered that first aid applies on characters at negative hit points, and you would then scratch your head trying to figure out how someone UNCOUNSCIOUS could possibly treat himself. Just saying, z'all.

Oh... and how do you figure you can use First Aid on yourself ? And the gist of Treat Poison and Treat Disease suggests that you are doing it on someone else, and given that other uses of Heal outright specify that you can't use it on yourself, it's pretty much a "treat other" skill.

The Self-Sufficient feat on p. 100 of the PHB goes "You can take care of yourself in harsh environments and situations" and it goes to give you a +2 on Heal checks and Survival checks... ... but you can't use the Heal skill on yourself. :p

So we have the final installment on Making Magic Items: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20050118a Things of note (IMO): This sets a nice precedent on pricing stuff that can be problematic. One thing that came up IMC (epic, a year ago), is a vest of greater heroism, always...

Where can I find that "blacksmith" class ? 2 levels of it gives you an effective +6 caster level for creating magic items ???

I wholeheartedly agree with that assessment. 1d4 average: 2.5... 1d6 average: 3.5... difference ? 1 point of damage. 1d8 average: 4.5... so in effect, a +2 dagger does the same damage as a longsword, and has a +2 to hit to boost. Would you pay 8000 g.p. for a dagger that does the same damage as...

Like I said in my previous post, allow a player in a new locale to spend a few days in the locale to amass the necessary data for the skill. He doesn't need to actively seek out data: by having the skill, he has a nack to naturally hear the info and gather it. Permitting less is a guarantee...

So I'm thinking an arcane archer with an Ancestral Relic bow... :D

Where can I find Powerful Charge and Greater Powerful Charge ?

Well for one I welcome a feat that gives some usefullness to one of the few fighter skills. An incentive for the two hander to put ranks in the jump skill. Nice.

Someone has been playing too much Diablo II. :p To be fair, the first time I saw the Leap Attack feat in CAdv, I immediately heard a "HEI!" in my mind ! Leap Attack, magical item slots... yup, maybe there IS a Diablo influence on D&D. :D

Exactly. Two doublings equals one tripling. If you also add another ability that doubles PA, it would then become a quadrupling. What's quirky, is if you score a crit with a flaming burst scythe plushone. Fig12, Str 22, Power attack, Leap Attack, Power attacking for 5, scoring a crit...

Bravo. Also, the fact that you can possibly get info with it on humanoids, clearly defines it as a wide scope skill. I might ask the PC's to spend a few days in a new locale before using it, just so that they have time to amass whatever gossip there is at that particular location, but IMC...

Steel Wind, I have the perfect application for your set-up. Download Interactive Dungeon, and give it a try on your setup: http://www.geocities.com/trainz_ca/ID It's made by me and my friend Jérôme. We had your setup in mind when we created our software. We currently only use it on the...

Rounds are currently 6 seconds, not 10. I guess you got THAT one already. Rejoyce !

IMC, we changed vorpal to simply increase the crit multiplier i.e. a vorpal keen scimitar would have a crit range of 15+ and x3 damage. Not too shaby. But not insta-kill either. And not to mention that no melee types IMC put keen on their weapons because it doesn't stack with Imp Crit. They...

It's not exactly what you asked, but if you have Improved Disarm, you're golden. No AoO, and you have a +4 on disarm.

He's not unintelligent, and he's not evil. :p
