Actually, Sonic is an element type in D&D. That's why you can be protected from it with protection from elements. Zing. -Frank

Then the recipient of FoM automatically succeeds on the escape artist check to break free. -Frank

Having natural weapons does not even count as having the improved unarmed strike feat - you's still need to get the feat prereqs the normal way. -Frank

One thing which I think is being missed here is that while a Wall of Force cannot be destroyed - it also has no hardness and no sharpness. If you hang onto a wall of force your fingers don't get severed unless the difference in gravity torques on your finger tips and hands would normally be...

If you don't also give the player back their 2 AC points because they aren't charging anymore when they cleave - this is the sinlge most inane and arbitrary thing I have heard come out of a DM since "You can only sneak atack once per turn". If a DM tried to pull that kind of crap on me, I think...

Well, the Pokemaster class has the ability to convert his own Pokemon to his own alignment. So if Ash is Chaotic Good, all of his Pokemon gradually become Chaotic Good as well. So after a while, Squirtle would become a happy fun-loving Chaotic Good Squirtle and play nice with Charizard and...

Absolutely not. It may be an Evocation that has some side effects of the Illusion school - but no way no how can it be a Glamer at all. Glamers have a set of rules that apply to them - namely that they can't prevent damage - since Silence can prevent damage from a Shout spell - it can't follow...

Hypersmurf, do you take weapon specialization bonuses away half way through the charge attack + cleave combo? The two aren't different. It's a situational bonus which applies for the entire attack (a glaive on a charge, for example). -Frank

It's a reference to the show. In the show, there are roving packs of squirtles who have been abandoned by their owners. Seemingly, if you leave squirtles on their own they naturally put on dark sunglasses and become bandits. Hence, I put them as usually neutral evil and gave them some Rogueish...

No - the 3.0 DMG said nothing of the kind. It was errataed to fall in line with the PHB and MM - that Supernatural Abilities could be dispelled. It was in the PHB. It was in the errata to the DMG. The 3rd edition rulesset is abundantly clear: Supernatural Abilities can be dispelled. There is...

In 3rd edition the answer was definately yes. No questions asked, natural weapons were a subset of unarmed attacks and thus you could flying kick with all of your pounce attacks together. In 3.5 the answer is a lot muddier - as Natural Weapons are sometimes listed as a form of Unarmed Attack...

Note also that Silence is still misprinted as an Illusion. It is an Evocation. If it were actually a Glamer it could not stop sonic damage or sonic-based effects or verbal spell components - and it specifically does. Other than that - option B is correct. -Frank

Using the 3rd edition rulesset, the Shifter is a joke - just the Enhance Wildshape spell alone allows the Druid to be better than anything the "Shifter" can do long enough to get to Mask of 1,000 faces and such and still be better than anything the Shifter can do. The Shifter has no spells -...

Oh, you can duplicate yourself into a bunch of forms and then have your duplicates make more duplicates and then kill your intermediate forms and generate an infinite number of "you"s. Or you can do that thing where you get all kinds of super juices every time you critical things - and then...

I'm basically OK with the current cross-class system. Since people who want a skill will generally take at least one level with it as a class skill - the practical result is that people who want to maintain a skill outside of their current class need to spend double to keep their skills up when...

OK, short of a couple of abusive combos, Psionics are like Sorcerers except: 1> They get less spells. 2> Their spell-list is shorter. 3> They are partially to completely dependent upon 6 stats instead of only 1. Sorcerers are in turn just like Wizards with less versatility, and wizards are in...

Mechanically it should give you a +2 bonus to-hit since it is just for you (otherwise it implies that you can declare other peoples' attacks as distraction attacks). Further, if it is for TWFs, it should actually require you to be armed with two weapons to claim the bonus. Also, nothing should...

100%. If you send enough questions which provide a direct set-up and ask for a specific example of how it will go down you will probably get a couple. Unfortunately, since the wording is murky you are going to get about 3 different and conflictory examples of how that works. But if you get one...

You can simply delay your action until after the Cleric acts. You then get a full round of acting right after the Cleric finishes his spell. If the spell works, you can move up and coup de grace - otherwise you can take a full round shooting at the Ogre or whatever. Readied coup de grace is...

That's debatable - the Bear only gets one grapple check per round, and pinning a character for one round is instead of doing damage. Further, attacking your opponent (like a claw attack) is not an allowed option for when you are pinning. My reading is certainly that the bear can't inflict claw...
