Is this right? With the feat you "You may make an attack of opportunity against a charging opponent who enters an area you threaten." On my diagram below, A is using a longspear with the Hold the Line feat, and the X's are his threatened squares. If B charges C, does A get an AoO when B enters...

well as i understand it, you dont damage someone when you sunder their quiver/cloak/amulet/etc, so you could just stick with that

the enhancement bonus to from magic armor gives +10 hitpoints per point of AC bonus this creates a problem where, using the same logic i used to create the initial system, those enhancement bonus points of armorclass should take 10 dmg to lose, not 5 like the rest of the armor, and i'm trying to...

makes a great one level dip :) see if you can work it into a prestige class for rangers requiring undead and shapechanger as favored enemies as requirements err.. apparently shapechanger is not a possible favored enemy for rangers, i thought it was

+3 mithril fullplate has 70 hitpoints and 21 hardness also, sundering would/should be an unfavorable tactic for mobs, as it is for PCs, no one wants to break their future loot losing a +3 weapon can hurt a lot more if that weapon is needed for DR reasons

does the "no benefit = no penalty" crowd count being able to use different weapons against different DR types as a "benefit"?

I chose 5 because the hitpoints of a suit of armor = "armor bonus * 5" so since 1 unit of AC was 5 hitpoints, losing 5 hitpoints should lose 1 unit of AC my thought process anyway... also, i feel my description might not be clear so i'll attempt to clarify i'll use scale mail as an example...

Would it really be any more of a problem than standard sunder rules? Losing a weapon or shield would blow too.

are you considering the armors hardness?

wow, i came here thinking to post this exact topic, but here it is already (right on top too) i noticed that in the PHB under "Sunder" there is a chart of common hardness/hitpoints including stats for armors. anyway, i'm not convinced there's a reason to disallow sundering armor so i'd like...

in response to this thread http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=156834 what reason is there to not allow armor to be sundered? if you can think of a reason please post it in that thread ^^^^^^ here i'd like to discuss mechanics for sundering armor i'd like a system for damaging armor that...

over in the house rules forum i have a thread going which dicusses ways to make shields "better" http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=155851 i'd appreciate comments and any ideas / open-source material you have for improving them thanks, Felnar

you can have 5 ranks in a skill at level 2, not that special really the more i think about it, the less this is a class, and the more it is a person who got a job a dwarf that spends skill points in craft(blacksmith) doesnt need its own special class Diplomatic Immunity, haha :D

the reason they were so popular is because the are cheap&easy to make and maintain, and they provided great protection i agree they should be more effective, but dont want to go too far, and wanted them to be more effective for those trained in defense perhaps the mechanic for the exotic...

generally half-elves also have access to elf only PrCs i'd think a diplomat specialist should require more than 5 ranks of diplomacy the knowledge(history) 10 requirment conflicts with your claim of 5th level entry knowledge(nobility and royality) seems a better fit than history also i'm...

even colossal creatures only get a 5' step... and yes it should be worth a bundle note: its abuses are even greater if it allows two 5' steps

sounds like everyone has decided on some mechanic they'll be using already, but here's my two cents look in your PHB or SRD in the equipment section under torch thats my idea, +1 damage (and no damage to the user) how many rounds it lasts and if it stays burning after a hit are up to you...

how would you apply this to combat expertise? i see combat expertise as one of those feats that is an improvement of an existing ability (like improved disarm/trip/etc), its basically "improved fighting defensively". Although they are supposed to stack... which doesnt quitre fit my vision. my...

well, i assume that characters that dont spend money/wealth on magic shield can use that money/wealth for other items (weapons/armor/misc items/etc) this only works to a point tho, because of the exponential price jump between +bonuses actually, that point is pretty early, its right after...

by standard rules, shield use isn't that appealing seems like you get a lot more benefit by using your 2nd hand for 2handed weapons or TWF you could even argue that having a free hand is better than +1 or 2 AC nice side effect that higher shield AC's would make feats like improved sunder more...
