    Vorpal sword and Heavy Fortification

    Well, by the rules it's a NO. But, as a DM call, I'd allow instead of head removal, I'd allow standard crit damage. Calrin Alshaw

    What does orc blood do for halforcs?

    Actually, they are considered both Human and Orc, as well as Human and Elf for the HO and HE respectively. Now, as far as the orc and elf blood. Perhaps you want to add special items whose powers only are manifest when a person of certain bloodline/racial line uses/wields/wears it. Thats party...

    Why wouldn't you always cast on the defensive?

    One way my DM prevents people from attack then immediately pulling out of combat, is he gives an enemy an AoO against anyone not doing a purely retreating move action. That means, moving 5 feet and casting a spell (Since the round is supposed to be continuous) he allows us as well as enemies to...

    Jumping

    Just remember, you may only take 10 on skill checks when there is no stressful situation (combat for example) or if you have a special ability that allows you to take 10 any time you want. Which makes the LOWEST jump anyone could have (assuming no Armor check penality and with 1 strength) would...

    Too fast! Too fast!

    There are multiple methods to slow down character levelling. Some have been mentioned.. Doubling the experience required. Using smarter low-level monsters. Training method (Although one way to stop players from complaining about experience they gain, is to handle that yourself, after session...

    Does DR stack/overlap?

    Look at DR like this. When they say DR 10/magic and silver it means this. DR 10/magic DR 10/silver (If you don't have a magical silver weapon, you don't breach DR) Now add stoneskin DR 10/adamantine Now if you don't have a magical silver-adamantine weapon, you can't breach the DR. You have...

    Non-Item Listening

    Maybe the monk could be allowed to take the feat multiple times increasing it by 5' per feat spent. Calrin Alshaw

    Shouldn't drawing arrows from your quiver be a 'drawing a weapon' move equivelent act

    Crossbows have the advantage of being useable when on the ground for example. (Pretend to grovel and then WHAM) Calrin Alshaw

    Blade Barrier Cheese (135d6 damage)

    If you always give a character a save, then the dragon's MAIN tactic (grapple in mouth and breath) is removed. This is one of their special tactics to neutralize threats. Calrin Alshaw

    Alternatives to energy drain

    The thing I am thinking of doing. Is keeping all the rules except the saving throw or lose a level thing. For example, the first 24 hours they make a save for each negative energy level. Whatever ones they fail stay on for another 24 hours in which they make ANOTHER save for each negative...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] How many times can I try to pick a lock?

    Personally, to make a succesful listen check to see if the door is being picked should be about a DC 10 + penalties for listening for something on the other side of the door, -1 to the listeners check per 10' distant from the door. Sounds like someone should just ban the open-locks skill from...

    Getting Rid of Level Drain

    You could also keep the whole "Turns PC's into this type of undead" if reduced to 0 levels from negative energy levels. I would also make it so that PC's get to make a save for EACH negative energy level every 24 hours to remove it. But I'd never make it permanent. I remember too well AD&D...

    Can you Cleave after a Cup De' Grassey?

    I see a CDG as like placing a dagger over someones heart, then thrusting. Maybe with an axe, aiming for the neck like you do golf, take a practice swing aim and then chop. Cleave is mainly seen as an effect like chopping through an enemies neck and continuing the swing to an adjacent enemy...

    Help me with number of spells per day per scroll

    The way my DM handles it, is like this. You can write 1 spell per day on scrolls. If the spell is over 1000gp (base price), then it takes more than 1 day. You can fit multiple spells on a single scroll, each spell though is seperate. Calrin Alshaw

    Any rules for lack of sleep?

    Use the rules on force-marching, that would be similar to lack of sleep almost.

    Critical Success/Failures - question for the DM's

    As far as critical misses for weapons go, my DM like to do reflex saves (DC15) to not drop the weapon, if you roll a 1 on that reflex save, something happens, like the weapon flies into a comrade, it's randomly rolled. A friend of mine even once accidently slew the enemy with that. Calrin Alshaw

    Full Attack and Move Silently?

    Normally when you are moving while silent or hiding, your movement is reduced by 1/2. I would say that, when he takes that 5ft step while trying to move silently, if he wants to make a full attack action, he has to take the -10 or something for trying to go normal movement. My reasoning is...

    Carrying Capacity of Flying creatures

    Just go with the whole x3, but in order to fly, the creature can not carry over a light load I believe. Calrin Alshaw
