yep, thats why but good catch on requiring shield proficiency, eamon would changing to first line to this work? "You must have a shield, you are proficient with, readied (other than a buckler) to use this feat." what do you think of a burning AoO mechanic? or maybe change the feat so you have...

well, my goal was to stick to RAW as close as possible, just add in the ability to use a shield. and i did think of allowing weapons to deflect, a la Jet Li in 'Hero', but didnt want to buff 2handed fighters that would be ideal, but i'm unsure how best to do that flat DC a la tumble check...

it seems likely this has been covered before, but here goes basically, lets you block missles with a shield, using an existing feat DEFLECT ARROWS [GENERAL] Prerequisites: Dex 13 Benefit: You must have a shield readied (other than a buckler) to use this feat. Once per round when you would...

your DM is right :p i'd say no replacement ability if taking a new class makes your old classes abilities obsolete, dont take the new class, or dont complain

i agree with Ferrum why shouldnt everything give a bonus? Intimidate is a weird skill because a circumstance bonus is conceivable in every instance intimidate is used

*slighty off topic i would just like to recommend the bard class, and to a lesser extent the rogue, for 1 on 1 adventures or henchmen/leadership feat if you want them to run multiple characters

i think your 'buy to 10' is correct i applied it to a sample undead monster (i used the vampire), and found that with 25 point buy and buying con to 10, i could exactly afford the published stats

as the DM, one way to speed things up would be to pre-roll the rogues search check for all traps. then you can just hand wave all of it. it would greatly speed up the playtime, but the 'in-game' time and moverate will still be slow Alternately, you could apply some realism to the characters...

wow, i'd never counted them before but i am surprised that there's so few elf subraces, for all the flak i see them getting

(sorry if this had been mentioned, i only read the first 30ish posts) you say the problem is any challenging NPC has to have magic items, which only add to the PCs power when they are defeated but this doesnt have to be the case beyond the previously stated excellent options of lootless...

totally agree, this highly devalues fighters/humans. good point on wizards too allowing srd only helps restrict power creep somewhat, but the popularity of fighters/humans would drop sharply and forgive me if i'm wrong, but didnt you previously argue feat-a-level didnt devalue certain classes...

who needs a tent when you have a kangaroo for a mount also, dont bolt cases weigh and cost as much as a swords scabbard?

spells like detect evil arent a continuouos effect, they are a standard action which allows the scanning of a 60ft cone i dont understand that last part. without facing rules, characters are constantly looking around in all directions (even outside "their turn"), so wouldnt the bullseye...

so i didnt completely pull torch out of nowhere got a page number for me?

eek, Deset Gled way beat me to it ---- all randomly generated magic melee weapons have a 30% chance to shed light (dmg pg 216 & 223) i thought it was "as a torch" but apparently its undefined

yes, but because there is no facing, cant that 60ft cone face all directions in the same round then assuming the lanterns controller cant adjust it when its not their turn, do they have to select a direction for it to face while its not their turn this results being able to adjust so enemies are...

for a character with lowlight vision, should a candle give 10ft shadowy illumination only -OR- 5ft bright illumination then 5ft shadowy (seems unlikely under RAW)? how does a bullseye lantern work in combat without facing?

thank you :D as always

oh come on :p this thread has plenty of views, and an amazing BUMP poem nobody knows what a halfling sees in the moonlight?

i'm in the camp of int changes not retroactively granting or removing skill ranks mainly because its too hard to say what ranks are gained when you receive Fox's Cunning and which are lost to a Touch of Idiocy "does anyone have knowledge(geography)?" "i could if you cast Fox's Cunning on me"
