Why not just change your attack plan? If you're not sure its possible, and there seem to be several different opinions about whether or not it is possible, then why not come up with another way of challenging your PCs? Unless they are messing up your DM experience by routinely abusing some...

I like mudmanns reasoning. Once your spell ends, you are back in the regular initiative order...its your turn and you have spent a standard action sofar....would you like to take your move action or are you finished? An interesting side effect of allowing your readied time stop action is your...

The text you quoted supports what I said....RAW unless its the first REGULAR round of combat you cannot be flat footed, excepting of course all the new crap that gives other ways of making people flat footed. Surprise rounds are not regular rounds of combat, so even if you get to act on a...

I thought it was the other way around...Flat footed is a condition that applies only during the first round of combat...not all the time while your walking around... it seems to be explained poorly in the books and it doesen't mention people being flat footed during surprise rounds. None of my...

If you ready an action then your action happens right before the event that triggers it occurs... So if you ready an action to attack when time stop ends, then when your attack happens it goes off right before the time stop ends....paradox occurs and your character is sucked into a quantum...

It is through DM fiat and only through DM fiat that there are no high level spell casters...if you simply do not want there to be high level spell casters in the world then that is ok. But realize that it means the PCs can litteraly rule the planet if they want to in a couple more levels...

As it was pointed out, its extremely uncommon for there to be things that can attack from the ethereal plane...you cant use spells while ethereal or attack in any way that I know of, except for this ninja ability apparently. There may be some monsters but I dont know them off the top of my...

Cat fall, hustle, Damp Power, Grip of iron, Psionic Lions charge,strength of my enemy, and precognition offensive and defensive are all low level Psi warrior powers and all fairly common choices...well except maybe catfall and Strength of my enemy. Other powers can be augmented to last hours...

seems off to me also so hear there are no NPCs above 10th level, yet there is some humongous evil conquering the world....just seems sort of stagnant to say that there is noone else around who is actively seeking ways to thwart it. I mean I can respect wanting to control/limit access to magic...

How do you possibly have a 32 int at level 8? Starting with an 18...+2 for level advancement and a +6 headband which way out of the normal price range for 8th level. Thats still only a 26...If you played a +2int race you'd still need 4 consecutive wishes to pull that off. I don't know exactly...

I think as a DM I would rule0 a tactic like this out....If the NPCs use it on the PCs then nothing stops the dead PC from bringing in a ninjaX of his own and using the tactic against the BBEGs over and over again. Wizard scries the bad guy over and over to find out when he sleeps... The...

how can you say magic is rare in you world? You have a druid, a wizard/spellthief who managed to survive to 15th level, and a dread necromancer....creation of undead and becoming a lich is apparently easy to learn and cheap to do. And you said the PCs could be practically anything. I do not...

virtually every psychic warrior power is augmentable and scales in power level....The opposite is true with sorc/wizards. They all have specific dice caps, and the save DCs do not scale. Several of the lower level utility powers are even useable as swift actions eventually. There is TONS of...

Pretty sure that's the wrong idea....If that were the case then there would be absolutely no reason why every Psion in the world wouldn't know 20 or 30 powers each at early levels...200xp/power level is cheap. Psionics is already very powerful and very versatile, and they can already use Dorjes.

The wolvorine stance from Bo9S is VERY good, but unless you're taking multiple levels of warblade or swordsage it costs several feats to acquire. It allows you to use any weapon in a grapple, without the -4 penalty, and even gives you +4 to damage if the creature is larger than you. The...

total bed rest gives a character 2hp/day recovered...4 if someone who isnt injured can make a DC 15 heal check(iirc)....someone with 4 ranks in heal and a +1 wisdom bonus can take 10 on that check. If your party has noone who can cast healing spells AND noone who even bothered to take the heal...

I don't think I understand what question you are trying to ask...can you rephrase it?

I would be extremely offended as any other member of this particular adventure group...I'd be asking the DM 'Where are my free 2 levels worth of power with no disadvantage'. Because that is essentially what you were given. Or I guess since there is absolutely no drawback, the next time...

he probably took spring attack since I think its required for tempest. Don't fool yourself into thinking that mobility is all that important as a 2WF tempest though. The 2-w spring attack is really not that great of an ability. All it really gives you is 1 extra attack when you spring attack...

Can anyone dig up the bard optimization thread for me? I'm not a premium member so I cant go past page 3 in the forums. Playing in a new game, and the GM is allowing a fair amount of cheeze. The party doesen't have a healer, but it has a good bit of melee capability. A duskblade, a rogue...
