*Bleh* The longer I play a dual short sword wielding Ranger/Rogue the more stupid I feel. I already got to the point where I use a buckler to add some armor class for all the occasions where I cannot make use of the second weapon and those are legion. :( ~Marimmar

My advice would be to get yourself a sling and a ton of lead bullets since sling bullet damage is bludgeoning damage and thus affects skeletons. The low damage and no strength damage bonus is a drawback though. ~Marimmar

Hi all, I was just curious about Feinting (as per the Bluff skill) and making a Sneak Attack afterwards. Does the loss of Dexterity for my opponent allow me to take advantage of my dual short swords and make two Sneak attacks or even my iterative attacks or is it just the first attack roll I...

Even if Gallo is no longer attending this thread, it just itches me to add my 2 cents. Having rules lawyering players myself, the only way to survive as DM in my group is to know the rules or to play by the book. Since most of the time my adventures are old 1e modules without anything like...

The Lucern Hammer had a hammer head, but don't confuse it with the Bec-de-Corbin which switched the hammer head with a curved spike. ~Marimmar

Well since the 5-10-5 movement says that the first square is just a 5' movement there are no AoOs for stepping away diagonally. I've to keep the rules simple, some of my players have problems computing the skill points for their characters because the rules are to confusing for them. Not...

I wouldn't mind if someone delivered a touch attack by kissing or with his tail but I still would require the caster to make an attack roll, even if grappled. There's no way around the attack roll for a touch delivered spell as it's part of the balancing factor for me. ~Marimmar

Polearm reach As for reach weapons, my group allows attacking enemies 2 squares away, not only 10' since that makes the whole attack of opportunity thing more easy. Since monsters with reach may do the same its fair. Polearms where frequently longer than 10' anyway so it's okay with us. ~Marimmar

Why diagonals aren't 5' The problem with considering a diagonal move a 5' step is that fireballs would be square not round. |_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_| |_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_| |_|_|_|o|o|o|o|_|_|_| |_|o|o|o|o|o|o|o|o|_| |_|_|o|o|o|o|o|o|_|_| |_|o|o|o|o|o|o|o|o|_| |_|o|o|o|o|o|o|o|o|_|...

I see, thank you! :) ~Marimmar

Hi everyone! I consider making a fighter specializing in the two-bladed sword and wondered about the following: If I just make a single attack (not using it as a double weapon) with the two-bladed sword, do I get the times 1.5 strength modifier for wielding a weapon with two hands? Thanks for...

Did someone notice that the Mummy Lord gets a Dex bonus although wearing a half-plate? I wonder if heavy armor is less restrictive in 3.5E. ~Marimmar

I and most of my players use an excel spreadsheet that I made for my own PCs. All important stats fit onto a single page including space for a portrait. Spellbooks need to be added as additional pages. Some of those are from Sord&Sorcery, others are from a spell database I made others are excel...

...and don't forget the Nagpa from X4 - Master of the Desert Nomads (I know that this monster needs to be converted but his spell-like abilities are easily moved to 3e.), this one destroyed our fighter's +2 dwarven waraxe last session, boy was he 'not amused'. :D After the waraxe crumbled to...

True that would be a fine adventure for a mid-level party. ~Marimmar

It's not only the players waiting, it's us lurkers too. I hope you get your things done soon since I would hate to see this go down. The game must go on... ~Marimmar

Bard is worst I really don't like the Bard as a class. We have a Bard in our party and he really can't do anything right. When fighting up front he gets his behind whooped because of low AC and HPs in addition to a low Att bonus. When casting spells he's totally inferior to all other casters...

On tactics Tom, your description reminds me of my gf who recently learned to play the game. It was quite astonishing for me as gm in 1:1 games with her to see how many tactical faults an inexperienced combatant makes. This is not stupidity, it's just lack of experience. Some rules of...

I read Saberhagen's books twice. It's perfect stuff to read on long, quiet vacations. The idea to convert the swords over to (then) AD&D occured to me too but I never did it because those swords are way too epic for my taste. ~Marimmar

Not only did the HTML pages disappear, so did the Dragons, Beholders and Mind Flayers from the SRD. :(
