    Bounding Assault + Tempest Two-Weapon Spring Attack

    I'll second what Blarney said. Looks like 1 extra from bounding....but no extra iteratives...you're still not takign a full attack action.

    2 wpn with 3 attacks

    a Scout/Dervish must work pretty well....Skirmish Dance FTW! Incidently, are there some good builds out there that utilize this tactic well? Maybe with a few iniator levels thrown in. That might be a fun class to play. Anyone have more info on the topic? To the OP, looks right. Each of...

    Revivify as a legacy weapon ability that costs action points

    Considering the prices on the raise dead spells I would tread very lightly at the thought of allowing your characters to have items that simply bring them back to life if they die. With essentially no cost.....2 Action points as a cost means its practically free. In the games I play in action...

    level 5 and a plus ten to hit

    1 level of swordsage = one of the most worth it dips in the game.....For a level and a feat you can always be flanking if there is another ally in melee, add your dex bonus to damage, make concentration checks instead of will saves, get 2 good saves, good skill points, make 1 attack per...

    level 5 and a plus ten to hit

    If they are hitting that high because they have a 20 strength, then be thankful that they took TWF instead of a greatsword and powerattack. If they are hitting that high because of a 20 Dex and weapon finesse, then forbid them from taking the SHadow blade feat from Bo9S and you will never have...

    Wands of Cure Light? Bah!

    Our PCs always feel better after a we kill things and take their stuff.....Especially if they have nice stuff. It annoys me that so many DMs seem to have a problem with casters using summoning spells to set off traps. My main DM is the same way...It's a spell slot and it doesent harm the...

    Summoning adventurers

    I was planning on using a similar plot device in a game (which unfortunately I never got to run) Basically, the PCs run into a overly friendly gnome(or whatever race fits) in town who tries to sell them a powerful magic scroll...The PCs will inevitably refuse once they realize it is a scroll...

    Why is Polar Ray an 8th level spell?

    Because they needed to have a crappy 8th level spell to give high level NPC casters so they don't all waste your party with back to back horrid wiltings? Otherwise it should probably be a 7th level spell IMO. Even then its not as good as DBF. Great way to kill red dragons though...dumb red...

    Combat expertise + Power attack

    You can use them both. The penalty to attack rolls stacks. If your BaB was +10, you could use combat expertise for 5 points and power attack for 10, making all of your attacks at -15. You're probably not hitting anything at that point except on 20s, but you yourself are very hard to hit, and...

    D&D 3.x Questions about 3.5 Wild Shape

    Any DM who would let a monk/druid, or worse a pure druid with a monks belt gain both an armor bonus from wild armor and add his wisdom bonus to AC PLUS the natural armor of the forms is plain off his rocker. And I mean that in the nicest way possible...druids are already one of the most...

    A player with a problem: Death and level loss

    I don't like any of the in game effects that cause permanent damage to a character or his gear. I'm just not that kind of player. Level loss from dying permenent level drains. Stat draining in low magic games where restoration is nearly impossible to find. Sundering players magic items...

    Cloak of Mage Armor

    Seems like any attempt to make an item that grants a permanent bonus to armor class for cheaper than the standard price is pure cheeze. This also applies if said bonus is 'effectively' permanent and will apply to more or less every combat your character gets into, without costing any action...

    Inspire Greatness -- Bonus Hit Dice?

    The book explains how a creature improves when it gains hit dice....but does the book explain what happens to a creature with it gains -bonus hit dice-? I don't think it does....In which case the recipient of -bonus hit dice- gain the exact benefits listed in the description of whatever ability...

    Calm Emotions; how would you rule this?

    There are epic level characters running around that don't have mindblank, freedom of movement, and heroes feast active at all times? Are they riding the 'short' epic-bus? :-p

    Spells I Never Use

    neat....that means our gaming group has been playing it wrong for years.

    Spells I Never Use

    I'm pretty sure this is incorrect. Delivering the touch can be done as part of the casting of the spell, which requires you to be adjacent to an enemy. If you aren't next to someone you still use your standard action and end up holding the charge. If you then move up to a bad guy now you've...

    A different shatter question

    don't sonic attacks generally ignore objects harness? Isn't shatter a sonic spell? (no book nearby) So using hardness as a reference for a spell that ignores hardness seems silly.

    Immunity to crits /= immunity to sneak attack?

    Even though you can't flank an ooze, you can still catch them flat footed.... Being flanked does not make you flat footed. The way you typed your message you seemed to impy that it was the same thing. Just wanted to clarify.

    Reach with strongarm bracers & large longspear?

    That seems a little dubious....So if you use a reach weapon that's a size too big you threaten 0 feet? They already built in a penalty for using weapons that are the wrong size. Use that instead of a silly ruling based on the 'sized for you' text. A supersized value meal at Macdonalds gives...

    Fleshraker dinosaur animal companion -- opinions?

    How do you manage to have characters with exalted feats adventuring with evil characters? It's pretty much spelled out that characters with exalted feats have to be the epitome of -goodness- To me that precludes adventuring with people whom you know to be morally unsound. If the cleric has...
