dont forget the masterwork cost

i stated this earlier, but stonecunning is a very potent ability while dungeoncrawling it allows passive search checks against stonework traps

this came up while i was looking at the Stormlord PrC the class grants shock to javelins used by a stormlord shock on a thrown weapon seems pretty crappy

do people actually require a standard action to activate a shocking weapon in their games? or do you all allow activation as a free action? or maybe i just cant read straight

what book is friction from? seriously tho, no one has a problem with a d3, but a d1 is mentioned and a fight breaks out ;)

oh quit ruining RangerWickett's fun :) what book are harpoons from?

who would play a halfling/gnome if they needed a reach weapon to threaten adjacent squares? or if they got 1/2 hit dies like many creatures smaller than humans do? some stuff is there for balance and you just gotta live with it, oh wells

i dont play the high levels much, but i thought barbs wore mithral full plate ----------- i had a thought about charisma penalties are charisma penalties better suited for lawful alignment than for chaotic alignment? basically, how are alignment and charisma connected? (i've always had weak...

my group has swapped when the two move penalties are put in place medium gets reduced run speed heavy gets reduced movement rate and reduced run speed & medium armor gets DR1/- and heavy gets DR2/- (considering knocking the chain T-shirt down to +3 AC, but granting DR1/-) i havent dont it yet...

compare barbs to barbs, fighters to fighter, rangers to rangers only rangers have a move speed difference (not that it matters in this conversation, but i think the chain shirt (read chain T-shirt) is overpowered, making medium armors obsolete) and how much fun will that newb have during all...

minor nitpicks but KarinsDad i think you forgot the +1 attack vs orcs in your halforc vs dwarf calculations (circumstantial, but dwarves get combat bonuses versus orcs, goblinoids, giants, orges, trolls) and why does the sword and board dwarf fighter use a +2 longsword when they could've have a...

i seem to recall other spells for this other than restoration/lesser restoration and possibly a variant to use any cure spell to fix ability damage can someone confirm this? and what other ways are there to repair ability damage? (expecially for low levels)

do you find all ray spells to be significantly underpowered? (compared to other attack spells of their levels) if no, then its probably not balanced essentially, it appears to allow the caster to make a free ranged attack whenever they cast a ray currently, standard action = cast ray with this...

sorry, i was going through the weapon style feats in CWarrior and looked up the simple weapons in an old PHB pdf i had with me (superscript 5 looks like a 3) good to know i havent been doing it wrong the whole time :D

you also forgot Immunities: Objects are immune to non-lethal damage (eg. quarterstaff) but ya, wood vs iron should get caught by DM common sense adamantine's ignoring hardness is a weird mechanic its like steel turns to soft lead on contact with the stuff

how about cleave or power attack or imp bull rush? wouldnt this only serve to make chars naturally good at those skills even better at those skills?

the reason you'd want a adamantine spoon is it wouldnt wear out. adamantine is not a lightsaber although, it is fantasy, so maybe ;) hardness in D&D is weird imo, hardness should serve to reduce the amount of collision energy absorbed into the object a good rule wouldnt let wood staves break...

OT i guess, but i figured out why power attck seems weird to me why does power attack take a penalty to-hit? swinging harder (ie. high strength) gets a bonus to-hit swinging harder (ie. power attack) takes a penalty to-hit why is swinging hard with a feat different from swinging hard with stats?

oops, i forgot to comment on this looks great Nifft, but could you explain the Point-Blank Shot and Wisdom prereqs?

i thought the reason for burst fire (compared to semi-auto/singleshot) was not increased accuracy, but decreasing the aim time required to hit a certain sized target at a certain range (maybe human sized at 100 yards). burst fire doesnt increase damage (other than multiple hits) i'm picturing...
