would tiny creature be able to 5ft step at all? (zero reach)

to paraphrase, the XPH section on Use-Activated items says: if they require an action to activate, it is a free action, unless the items description says otherwise

XPH pg 158, under "Use-Activated" Boots of Skating are specifically described as "practically always functioning" also, activating a non-continous item is a free-action unless the item description states otherwise.

or maybe a second warmace would balance you out :)

if you're going to use house rules, its best to have them all written down and available, ie no surprises also, its helpful to write out the reason for each houserule

when are the affected squares determined? start of turn? end of turn? all adjacent squares throughout the turn?

sure they have more, but they wouldnt have as high of a percent more just a thought for maintaining class balance

dont know if anyone has suggested this, but if you give out a feat every level, why not give fighters a feat every level too? that could help them maintain a higher number of feats than the other classes

a crossbow is a simple weapon because it is incredibly simple to operate currently, exotic weapons aren't balanced with each other. some are exotic because they have mechanical advantages, some are exotic because they are "foreign" here's how it should be (me thinks), categories based on...

in 2nd ed, war elephants were 500gp

wow, there's a base-class for everything it's almost sad

The energy stored in a bow (or spring, etc) is based on its stiffness and the amount it is distorted from its resting state. Its called Hooke's Law. So to store more force, you either pull the bow further back (increase distortion) or make it out of a stiffer material (increase stiffness)

i'm looking to make a rogue/psionicist, but i've never dealt with psionics in 3.X ed before. he'll be a human with 28pointbuy, and primarily utility based, and a bit of a thief i've noticed a lot of the psionic powers i liked in 2nd ed are missing but the Skate power looks like fun when...

there's the monkey grip feat in Complete Warrior or he could use it two handed sorry, i dont know much about level adjustments

how about a perfectly worded Wish?

i agree with all this. i just dont see the logic in Sundragon2012's size based defense modifiers. example: anything colossal sized with thin skin (no scales/etc). why would a hot air balloon get +5 AC? i think Sundragon2012 thinking of a dragon, and applying the source f natural armor bonus...

SBMC - he's trying to make it so when a level 20 fighter fights another level 20 fighter, they wont both have a 95% chance to hit. he wants experienced/skilled fighters to be better at defending themselves than a novice fighter is.

sort of... you have the same strength modifier as the horse for strength based checks. but, the horse is size large and a quadruped so it can carry x3 what you can. i think this is one of the problems the original poster is trying to solve with a wider stat range but rolling more dice just...

i suggested using 'dodge bonus' because it is an existing game mechanic that covers what you want it to do (look up 'dodge bonus' in the PHB glossary) i'm still not sure why the existing game mechanic of natural armor bonus doesnt already cover what you're trying to accomplish for the dragon

my group is using a similar system we still get a straight +1 to a stat at levels 4,8,12,etc but we also get one point-buy point on all the other 'even' levels (2,6,10,etc) this way you could pump up one stat as high as possible, but usually a smarter option is using the straight +1's for you...
