    Two Weapon Fighting Question

    Right, but it should be noted that the -2 to attacks you take when fighting with two weapons (assuming one is light and you have the feat) applies to all attacks made that round. So if you get to make an Attack of Opportunity, it is also at -2 (and you can only attack with one weapon per Attack...

    Two Weapon Fighting Question

    Right, to elaborate… Bob the fighter has a Longsword (LS) and a Shortsword (SS). He is a 7th level fighter, so his BAB is +7/+2. He has the two-weapon-fighting feat. If he attacks with just the Longsword, his attacks are +7 (LS) / +2 (LS) If he attacks with both weapons, his attacks are +5...

    Does energy resistance stack?

    Right, oops, I forgot to add " In our game..." at the beginning of that post. We allow DR to stack if it's the same type. -Tatsu

    Does energy resistance stack?

    But DR stacks if it's the same type. What's energy resistance but DR for one type of energy? Think of "Energy Resistance Fire 5" as "DR 5 / anything but fire". If you have "DR 5 / Anything but fire" from two sources, it would stack. I would let it stack. -Tatsu

    Casting spells while dual-wielding

    Sure, "dual weild" with a great sword and armor spikes. Hold the sword one handed and cast, then go back to two handed. Of course, this doesn't really (read "at all, in any way") fit your PC, and you have to have the Cheese domain to do it. Oh well, I would go with gloves of storing ASAP...

    Firing into melee

    Well, it makes sense that if you could fire at a square that contained a bad guy, but was not within 10' of a friend, you don't take the -4. -T

    Where did my arrow land?

    Wow, that's hard! Maybe we can simplify it. How about this... If it hits with a touch attack, it's sticking out of the guy's armor. If it didn't, roll a D8 (see rules for missed grenadelike weapons). Draw a line between the middle of your square and the middle of the square generated by the...

    Concentration

    Well, sorry to cancle your hopes of a simple question, but I disagree. IMC, we use a check for each hit, against the DC for that hit. That way it's passable. -Tatsu

    Probability vs. Point Buy

    No, because they are more powerful than the monsters. If you gave the monsters in a game huge stats, you would up their CR, right? Well, in this case, you are giving the PC's huge stats, so the CR's in the book are a little high. Exactly how much I have no idea, but I think the MM gives some...

    Worst D&D products ever.

    The monotony award goes to Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. You get a huge dungeon, filled with seemingly random monsters, two small towns nearby (where the players can't buy or sell anything more than about 50Gp) and that's pretty much it. Use instructions for players… Enter dungeon...

    Why can't I overrun in a charge!!???

    Well, the Orge moves 40' (30 with armor), so why can't he just squeeze down to a 5' X 10' size and go below (to the Oger's right) of the fighter and end up below the mage (while still squeezing) or behind the mage. Or, I guess he could end up between the mage and the fighter while squeezing...

    PC design help please, feats / skills ???

    There have been some good suggestions here. Some things that occurred to me as a read them… If I go with monk levels, he can't use a sword. Even if he gets the proficiency (vie a fighter level or a feat) he can't flurry with it, or deliver stunning blows. Long story short, I don't want to use...

    PC design help please, feats / skills ???

    Oh, well the only books allowed are the PHB, DMG, and Complete Warrior with DM approval. Thanks for the idea though -T

    PC design help please, feats / skills ???

    Where is Wild talent? I, and my DM, are leary of Psionics in geneal, but I'll take a look at it. The low CHA is because I don't plan on going past 5th level with Paladan, and don't care about the spells (I will use a wand once in a while, but don't have the points for wisdom). The only thing...

    PC design help please, feats / skills ???

    Hi all, I need some help with choosing feats. I am making a PC who is modeled (roughly) after Li Mu Bai (from Crouching tiger, hidden dragon) with bits of Samurai Jack and maybe even Dak’kon (from Planescape Torment). I want a guy whose mind is always focused and whose fighting style is always...

    Question on trade goods values..

    So, if I remember correctly from my Home economics class, a bolt of cloth usually holds between 30 and 70 yards. So, call it 50 yards for ease and there you go, 500Gp. for quality stuff. -Tatsu

    Why does Undead=Evil

    So let's see, you are a peasant in a small town and you work hard every day of your 30 years. Then, you die and pass on to (for the sake of argument, we'll say Pelor, but any god will work) Pelor's afterlife. You join your old friends and family on the other side. There is no work to do, no...

    Ulimate Monk Armor....?

    Wow, grumpy? I hope not (tone is so very difficult to infer from text) To me, retail price is what's used for determining the xp, time, etc. So, in this case, it's not different than what the game calls 'market price'. But, things like availability, use restrictions, and city wealth alter...

    Ulimate Monk Armor....?

    In general, if there is ever an item that everyone would want, and would be silly not to buy at the price given, it's not allowed in my game. So, you have to compare. For this, you do indeed need to find something else that gives these effects and compare the price. Here is how I would do it...

    How many cohorts can a PC have and figuring out XP.

    That's right, you can have as many as you want, but only one at a time. Of course, if one dies, your leadership score will go down. -T
