I rule that you can either... 1) Take the TWF penalty and attack with the spikes and contunue to threaten with the long spear. 2) Take no penalties, but then you are not threatening with the long spear. -Tatsu

Oogdar, orc or halforc or something like that Barbarian. He had trained with a bard to learn some party tricks. He could throw his voice and liked to do so to pretend that things were alive. Like... "Hey you, yeah you! it's me, the bush, come over here" (all said from 15' away from the bush)...

Well, it seems that most of hte buff spells are cleric spells. But, there are a lot of good utility mage spells, though you won't use them every day. So, I would go with a cleric, with the magic domain and a huge pile of scrolls and wands for stuff you need once a week or less. Add the...

If they are brother and sister, I'm pretty sure their kids are Dwarves. ;) -Tatsu

I think there is a feat that allows you to shape the area of effect of spells. I assume it would apply to psionics too. As for line / cone, I usually like a line. The cone requires you to be closer in, and that is dangerous. A line lets you fire from well back. -Tatsu

Because a human or elf can never have a 1/2 elf parent. I like the flavor of it, and agree that the poor 1/2 elf needs a boost where ever it can get one. In other words *NOINK - Stolen House Rule!* -Tatsu

I dodged the issue by requiring cohorts to have the same level adjustment as the leader. If a Level 6 half dragon wants a cohort, he gets a level 4 half dragon. On the other hand, if a level 6 human wants a cohort, he can't have a level 4 half dragon. It's restrictive, but until all this CL...

Oh, and don't forget to pick up a cleric level. THe war domain will give you weapon focus (greatsword) and the strength domain will let you cast Enlarge Person once a day. Plus, you get to use wands on the cleric list (comes in handy). Go get 'em! -Tatsu

Well, don't forget the cleric, with the travel domain you get survival, with knowledge you can get know(nature) and know(geography). Maybe one level of ranger then cleric? That will give you martial weapons, a (slightly) better BAB than a cleric, and you will get a pile of skills at first...

Mithral Breastplate? Isn't a +3 chain shirt the same cost, and better? Oh well, I will suppress the power gamer in me. I WILL play a gnomish archer soon, I WILL play a bard soon... -Tatsu

Ride it at a walk? For ever (or until it dies of old age or whatnot). This is assuming you are not pushing the horse to do more than it can. If you are moving faster than a walk or have it carrying more than it should you use the forced march rules (IIRC). -T

Thanee is right, you could get into a PrC earlier. If you want to play a Kensei, you need 5 ranks in ride and diplomacy (and other stuff). For a fighter that means 7th level becasue diplomacy is cross class. So what about getting rid of the bonus skill point and favored class and just have...

Well I guess you could call me a grammar professor. I teach English composition, grammar, TOEIC and TOEFL classes. Oh, and yes, I'm a native speaker. But that's not really the point. The point here is that you opponent is imagining things. The sentence in question states that unarmed attacks...

Egres, you are correct. Feel free to copy this post to the other boards. -Tatsu ------ Professor Joshua "Tatsu" Sargent Waseda University English Department

Normal heavy shields do 1D4, normal light shields do 1D3. You can not bash with a tower shield or a buckler. You can put spikes on a shield (listed under armor in the PHB) which improves the damage die by one. So a heavy shield with spikes does 1D6, and a light shield with spikes does 1D4...

Oh, that's too bad. I was hoping you had a great scheme (or at least the name of a lenient DM in Tokyo!) Have fun! -Tatsu

But what about shocking grasp? I think the idea with touch attacks is that they hit you, or something you are wearing / holding. I guess I missed the shield thread, but I think they are fairly useful in DnD. If for nothing else, they are easy to equip when you get surprised. I have had (as...

Wow, I don't know any DM's that would allow that many PrC's! How are you going to convince your DM to let you join three or four different elete groups? That's a real question, not sarcasm - I would love to get my DM to allow it! -Tatsu

Doh! Too slow! Ok, quick quick version... 1) The Con damage stacks, so it's a good enchantment. 2) No, you don't loose your Dex bonus when youare prone. -Tatsu

Yes, you can upgrade items (including weapons) and pay the difference (Page 288 in the 3.5 DMG "Adding new abilities"). So, if you have a +1 sword you can pay to have it made it a +2 sword for 6,000Gp. If you have the feat / caster level you can do it yourself and pay half that in gold and...
