I disagree there. It takes 20 times as long becasue you are doing it 20 times. That's also why you can't do it for things where there is a penalty for failure. Taking 10 means you are doing your best not to mess up, taking 20 means you are doing it over and over until you get it right. -Tatsu

I don't have a problem with PCs taking 20 on disguise (or even hide for that matter) when disguising (or hiding) someone else. In game terms, person A is dressing / kaing up person B to look different. Person A rolls, then makes a spot check. If he sees something wrong (a bit of hair undyed...

We've done kind of similar things with these two feats. In our game, Dodge lets you count your Dex as two higher for the purposes of AC only, and Toughness lets you treat your Con as two higher for HP only. So far it's worked. -Tatsu

Wow, for some reason, I had never seen this! I think we have a winner. Thanks Cantrip! I know everyone wants Power Attack, but with this guy's fairly low attack bonus and the fact that he uses a one handed weapon, I don't think it's worth it. Thank you all, this was VERY useful! -Tatsu

I was saying that from the FAQ, others (Hyp) may disagree...

Oh, no, he uses the bastard sword, and carries the wand. If he can't / doesn’t want to attack with the B. sword, he uses the wand. Web and Grease are good for controlling the battle, so they are his plan B (Plan A is the sword). I see what you mean about the divine feats. I might just have to...

Yeah, if I had known this guy would end up a Paladin, I might have gone with more Cha. But it's been a wild ride for this guy, from guide, to city cleric, to paladin. This guy is on the cusp of being a Kensei, so that's the way I'll go. I don't think I like the idea of more than one PrC. Once...

Sorry, more information... We play 3.5, but use some of the non-updated things from 3.0. In general, if there's a 3.5 version of something, we use it; if not, 3.0 is usually ok. Having a favored enemy "Human" has no effect at all on alignment / Paladin levels. He puts the bonus to spot, sense...

Then again, once the ability is active, why turn it off? The energy can't harm you or your gear, so just sheathe that flaming sword and leave it on. It's not like it's going to run out of fire. That way, you have it in the ambush situation. -Tatsu

Hi all, my PC is approaching 6th level, and is in dire need of a feat. I was planning on taking "Divine Vigor" from DotF, but yesterday I finally got around to looking it up, and noticed that he doesn't qualify for it (doesn't have Extra Turning, Doesn't have a CHA 13 - that's 0 for 2 DOH!)...

OK, Japanese isn't my first language, but I'll have a go at it... Archer - ite Spell - Jyubaku jujutsu Fireball - Hinotama Mount - Uma (Horse, there is no general word in Japanese for 'mount'.) Dwarf - kobito Halfling - kobito Orc - youkai Armor - yoroi Dungeon - chikarou Dragon - ryu...

Exactly that, negative energy from spells that inflict ability damage. As has been noted, RoE does not inflict ability damage, it imposes an ability pennalty. I'm at work / too sleepy right now to think of any spells that DO inflict ability damage, but I am pretty sure others can help me...

Wait, IIRC, 0-level gods can't grant spells, so the whole Cleric Cohort thing is out. Too bad, it'd be fun. So, I think I would go bard (I CAN'T BELIVE I SAID THAT ! !). I would go for the whole preacher / evangelical kind of thing and get a lot of followers. Then maybe I'd get the bump to 1st...

Sorry if this is a hijack... We have been house ruling that a Barb can use Combat Expertise if he has the "Righteous Wrath" feat from Compete Divine. I have recently been mulling this decision over, and I can't decide if it's overpowered (primarily in comparison to the Fighter). The idea is...

Well, Sense Motive, Spot, and Listen are all opposed skills that can be used as a reaction to someone else using a skill. This leads to a lot of rolling. But, there is a game mechanic that covers "too many rolls being made for mundane tasks". It's called taking 10. The Barmaid has a bluff of...

Right, forgot about the Bow. So, in your system, you can cast Greater magic weapon on both the bow and the arrows ? That was one of the things that really broke 3.0 archers. I guess the enchantment stacking thing doesn't really bother me, I would not be wasting 160Gp arrows if I could help...

That was 3.0 (essentially). I didn't mind it much, but it was a pain when you had to remember that a small weapon was only small if you were medium, otherside it was medium (unless of course, you were large). I like Light / Standard / Heavy. I have also been toying with the idea of locking...

So, in that system, I can shoot +2 Flaming arrows with a +1 Bow and a +1 Flaming arrow? That's a total of 8,000 Gp, whereas the fighter's +2 flaming sword cost him 18,000 Gp. ?? Wow, I want to be an archer ! -Tatsu

Right, so it seems to me that the 3.0 weapon size rules were ok, but they were made odd by the names of the catagories (small, medium, large...) because they were the same as creature catagory names, but only loosely related. They were so confusing thet they changed the system, and gave us...

It seems to me that, (I can't believe I'm saying this) Hyp is wrong on this. It's just a lot easier and it makes more sense to me to have the PA ratio based only on how the weapon is being used at the moment. Power Attack is about sacrificing accuracy for power. If you have something in one...
