thanks for trying to help me grasp this i still have a problem with why i cant have a gut-feeling when the ambushers are noisy. (i.e. why the ability to perceive something, whether its actually heard or not, precludes being able to have a gut-feeling) say my character has rank 3 of intuition...

this is exactly my problem when there's good lighting you use perception to notice an ambush, but if the lighting is only moderate then you can't use perception??? is that how its supposed to work? when i get a chance i'll look at the GMG i'll show these options to my GM, but for my first use...

How much experience do you have with the Bo9S? The Warblade does not have access to the Desert Wind school. The Crusader doesnt either. Do you feel that schools like Diamond Mind , Setting Sun, or White Raven are too fantastical? I bet the Bo9S would be received much better it was only the...

i still dont get Awareness can you give examples of situations one is used but the other cannot be? ------- in case anyone has any pointers, or is curious, here's the character i've made so far Background: (Note: i write this not knowing the exact setting, Fusion Age tech tho) Yorick is a...

thanks for all the replies character creation was quite a task, i flipped back and forth so much i thought the pages would fall out of the book. i definitely encountered the skill issues you guys mentioned even with 12 int i had to scrap quite a few skills i planned on getting, and i couldn't...

my friend wants to run an Alternity game anyone care to share their thoughts on the system?

was the repetitiveness that far off from being a fighter or barbarian?

dont stances count as maneuvers for prereqs?

i saw the movie probably a decade ago and only remember one scene, so this might not be enough to go on the hero (young boy?) uses some magic scissors which instead of cutting cloth, make the cloth grow. so he goes snip snip snip and the scissors create a shirt out of seemingly nothing...

should these count against your total AoOs a round? the defense ones are a little weird but i like the idea of attack or damage bonuses on AoOs (i'm not sure i'd even require burning an AoO for the bonus)

firefox introduced me to tabbed browsing and changed my life

here's an essay/rant on the subject by Sean Reynolds

i will be building other traps in the future, and having examples of ad hoc adjustments could help me gauge my own ad hoc adjustments and since ad hoc adjustments arent random, shouldnt similar circumstances result in very similar ad hoc adjustments? I see the circumstances around these two...

or maybe Don Diego de la Vega just had higher BAB and hitpoints? and as a fencer, i thought the swordplay in that movie was laughable (i.e. all popcorn movie flash)

when i DM i pre-roll a bunch of d20's and record the results in a list then, when i need a d20, but dont want the players to know i'm rolling, i read one off the pad and cross it out our other DM randomly rolls dice behind the screen basically all the time, this way seeing him roll doesnt mean...

ya, that was giving be troubles because both traps have clues that would make characters wary and provoke search checks to be made, but only one got lower CR because of it and when i looked at the later trap... i quickly got confusing trying to calculate what its CR shouldve been and gave up...

does this mean while using a shield, if you have 5 ranks of tumble, you get bonus AC? or does it mean while fighting defensively or using total defense, and using a shield, you are treated as having 5 ranks of tumble? could you explain this?

agreed, DMs should have pg 35 of the DMG on their DM screen and welcome to the boards gothmaugCC

ok, thanks Frank no requirement for warning can make some nasty low CR traps anyone know of rules for adjusting a traps CR based on clues/warnings given? tho, ad hoc probably works fine

after that meat-snack has gone through your digestive system it probably wont complain when you take the treasure back
