The caster level requirement to take the feat, is just that, a requirement. It's the same as needing a Dex of 13 to take 'Dodge'. The CL listed for each magical item in the DMG is or isn't a requirement to make it (depending on which author / designer you ask and when you ask them). -Tatsu

Yeah, that pic doens't inspire fear, but it kind of looks like a metriod. Those things were kind of dangerous (5 missiles to kill, and they could eat your brain). -Tatsu

Ha! That's the quote of the week! -Tatsu

Right now, I'm playing a Ranger 1 / Cleric 3 / Paladin 2. (Paladin is kind of a prestige class in our game, you can't take it at first level). He has the magic domain, so he can use a wand of anything on the Ranger, Cleric, Paladin, or Mage lists. A bastard sword, buckler, and wand is a combo...

Oh, right, readied action =/= AoO. I know this DOH! My bad. More sleep, less coffee -T

Isn't it? The first post is about bad guys readying actions to attack a mage if he starts to cast a spell, said mage casting a 'free action' spell to draw those AoO's and then casting a second spell in safety. The assumptions were… 1) Bad guys can't tell the difference without spellcraft (I...

OK, I admit that I read only the first few pages of this thread, then skimmed. But it seems to me that a quickened spell (or a normal spell, with a casting time of 'free action' or 'swift action') would not draw attacks of opportunity. Am I just lacking sleep and totally wrong? Have fun...

Who's the best Ninja? Hatsumi Masaaki http://www.ninjutsu.com/soke-hatsumi.shtml Oh, which is the best ninja... Um, no idea. -Tatsu

Kensei (CW) lets you boost your strength by 8 for a while with a concentration check, so that's like rage. Also, to get into Kensei, you need lots of Paladin skills, so that works. Kensei is all about focusing one's spirit into a weapon, and using it to kick ass. I am running a Paladin /...

As others have said, you can sneak attack as long as the conditions are right. If you are sneak attacking because the other person can't see you (like if you are invisible) and after the first attack you stop being invisible, you can't sneak attack any more. Secondly, with multiple 'shots'...

Tumble with a long spear? Dude, two words... Pole Vault -Tatsu

Man, I had a PC in 3.0 die because of a total RBDM screw-job. He was a pally, and he tried to jump over a 5' high spiked wall. Well, of course, he failed the ride check, and fell onto the spikes. Then the horse failed the jump check and fell on top of my PC, who was still on the spikes. The DM...

Right, so for myself and all the other idiots out there (of whom I am the apparent appointed leader)… Let's look at Bob the fighter. He is a crafty sort, having taken the whole spring attack feat tree, and he likes to use it. Bob has also gotten himself some nifty magical items, which boost his...

I think this idea must have been tried by a lot of mages in the history of the world (along with the 'invisible fighter with the set spear' trick). That's why smart dragons always start high up and swoop down on people rather than skimming along the ground to get close. -Tatsu

Yeah, that's exactly what I said, two standard actions... (...looks around, edits post) -Tatsu

Dude, why so grumpy? It was (is) a simple question. -Tatsu

Or more to the point, you can't FINISH a full round action in a surprise round. You can use your standard action, and then on your next turn you can use another standard action to finish your spell. After this second action, the spell happens. -Tatsu

No, because practiced spellcaster doesn't give you the ability to cast higher level spells. It only increases your caster level. So, a "first level mage / 4th level something else "with the feat can cast his 1st and 0 level spells as normal, but he is considered 5th level for effects, duration...

I'm also going with the halfling option. Because I am wondering what happens when True Res is cast on a PC that believes in past lives (reincarnation). If you have a druid who is always talking about "our many lives, many lessons..." what happens? Why do we stop going back to just the human...

Right, and if you do that, or run the affore mentioned low-magic-item game, don't be shocked when nobody plays a fighter. You will have a world of clerics as tanks and mages as the only hitters. It seems like you are fixing a flavor issue with a rules change. That can be a huge can of worms...
