    Best Skills

    Well depending on what I want every skill can be useful. One-point skills: Decipher Script: If you have +4 int, you add one rank here and you are ok forever Forgery: With +4 int +1 rank and take 20 you won't need more. Jump: 1 rank says you won't land on your face. Knowledge (all): You can...

    Flat-Footed

    Maybe yes, maybe not...but I won't go back to edit everything I wrote so far and make it more biased. Well, John almost always will play last. Rob will almost always play first. John sucks against touch attacks, Rob against being flat footed. So Rob should trie to hit the caster in his turn to...

    Flat-Footed

    Sorry, but you are wrong. My DMs would never consider me flat footed if I Delayed, so I am not really biased- I won't defend a rogue who plays in your group and whom I don't even know either, just because I happen to play a rogue too. I also know that I can't change your opinion, so that wasn't...

    Flat-Footed

    Sadly Bob thinks that voluntarily means that he has an option to do or not to do so something....result means that he is flat footed.Yeah, I know, Bob is simple minded. The DM told him to get courses in reading comprehension too, but like I said poor Bob is simple minded. He decided that he...

    Rope trick teleportation?

    So yeah, you can teleport you you can lift 16k pounds- then you are able to take the rope with you. And only the rope. Except it you would also allow the teleportation of a magical portal to an other dimension (and I am not talking about an item). Or if you also rule that the players are getting...

    Flat-Footed

    Bob who plays Rob the Rogue disagrees with your point of view though. DM:Everyone roll initiative...the surprise round the orcs got is over... Bob: Yey I rolled a 20...+8...I play first. DM:Ok, what you want to do? Bob: Well...I can't flank anyone...I think I will delay DM: Ok you wizard go...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Succubus Lichfiend Cr Madness

    thats the LA thay have, the Cr is lower (7 for the succubus and +2 for the lich) Paladin of Slaughter, yes- (mostly because demons are CE though) Lichfiend is exactly like the Lich (except for some minor details) They have optimized characters, but they play them without much thinking. Very...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Succubus Lichfiend Cr Madness

    Ok here it goes. A succubus lich-fiend with 3 cleric/2 paladin/1 Mystic Wanderer (Magic of Faerun) will be CR 7+3+2=12? It will have an AC of 30-something and saves of +25-something, and some crazy lich abilities with equally high save. Somehow I think I am doing something wrong. Will the...

    Dice Superstition

    I have a black d20 with white numbers- I can do the impossible with them. But only when I do something I don't really need so succeed doing. The white d20 with black numbers is not even used, except when I DM. It is a holy dice. My PCs are CE. A fellow player who always sits next to me has a...

    Rope trick teleportation?

    You should tell them maybe. It may work, it may fail. They have to try or to research to see if it works. Well, obviously it won't work.

    Giving Initiative in Certain Situations

    coup de grace is a full round action while you can ready only a standard action, and she would have to be helpless anyway... You should set an objective and give the PCs exp for meeting that objective. If the objective is to save the hostage, then they get no exp for the encounter, even if...

    Giving Initiative in Certain Situations

    If your plan is to have the PCs go after them, why not have him grab the head of the kid and run? I don't think the PCs will go after him for no reason. Especially if they are leaving a loved NPC bleeding to death behind. I fail to see how he can possibly escape. If he runs he will eat a ton of...

    Giving Initiative in Certain Situations

    It depends. You fudge it, or you announce that you just get the initiative? If I roll with my rogue 27 initiative, and you still play first, well I won't like it. If you say ''ok guys everyone roll initiative, except me'', there will be for sure someone who won't like it. So my general...

    Not sure how to approach player issue

    Just let him leave. Everything else will just lead to bad feelings for both sides. Asking everyone if they prefer 3rd or 4th edition implies that you are open to play 3rd. Well, if you can't play 3rd and he can't play 4th, there isn't much you can do. If you want to play with him in the...

    Dinosaurs, Rust Monsters and Big Ideas

    RAWR! The Rust Monster one was very good (I imagine a dozen knights in full plate running from the infamous Rust Outriders every time I think bout knights) Can't wait for Dinosaurs handbook :p

    Space for Weapons

    Hmm...now that I think of it, fellow party members are something much harder to avoid hitting by mistake than static walls. How to reflect that in the game though?

    Space for Weapons

    You are partially right. I think that a measure like that greatly adds to the realism of the game. It is odd, that usually one can find a Fighter with one magical, one alchemical reach, and one cold iron reach weapon. The magical one will be the strongest he can afford, and the others are just...
