That is not the same as "a gap less than a foot width", though. If a door is 8 feet high and 2 inches ajar, the whole door doesn't count as interrupting blind sight. Line of effect is in the majority of cases less restricting than line of sight (as evidenced by the "It’s like line of sight...

You're my ninja, Klaus. Yes, that's what I meant. :) It's certainly more balanced than just letting the character start with the race. Personally, my favorite is Caliban's second option, but that only works for races with racial HDs unfortunately. Another way is reducing a race's benefits...

No need. All monsters get 1.5 times their STR bonus to dmg when they have only one natural weapon (ref. MM p.299 under "natural weapons").

I don't know where I read this, but I saw suggestions about doing this and giving the PC a number of negative levels that he can't get rid of except by gaining levels. In other words, that PC would start with 2 negative levels. Then when he had enough XP to go to second level, he'd lose one of...

I wouldn't either, John Q. My players, even the powergamer among them, have never dared ask me if they could use Monkey Grip anyway. :) But common sense ? A huge bastard sword would be, what, 15 feet long or so ? Yeah, I can see a 7 feet tall goliath wielding two of those with no problem at...

Yeah, a goliath psychic warrior who uses Expansion to grow to huge size. :D

Once you get to mid levels, sorcerers will be casting spells pretty much every round in battle. This feat basically lets you have an active fly spell almost all of the time in combat without - and this is the good part - without spending an action casting it. It's a very very good feat...

The ranger cannot find traps. Well, unless they are very obvious, of course. But the point is, if you have a rogue, then the trap detection of the scout is somewhat useless. In a standard 4-PC party, you are probably not going to see both a scout and a rogue. Hence, giving scouts Disable Device...

Given that default D&D is balanced for 4 players (and characters) in a party, I doubt that the game designers meant that bomb disposal was to require two whole characters. It's bad enough that you *had* to have a rogue for this before... I love that there are now alternate class options for...

Even presuming that they have the same initiative or that one rogue delayed so that they have, the two rogues cannot act simultaneously. One of the two will have to act first, resolve their whole round and then the second rogue can move and attack. Thus, the first rogue to act would not gain...

To me, it sounds more like a descriptor. :\

Also, the guy who started the thread hasn't logged in since last april. :D

The whole thing makes me think of the start of Vecna Lives, a Greyhawk adventure. In the opening scene, the Circle of Eight gets wacked and their henchmen (which are still pretty powerful characters) are left to pick up the pieces and save the day.

No, but when you run a group of 5 10th-12th level characters in an adventure meant for 15th level characters and then tweak the wizard's spell list to make him more deadly (I won't even try to guess what that wand is :D)... I don't know, hard adventures are all right, but I wouldn't be...

It's amazing how often natives are used to justify weird rules. You know, that's the kind of things I would allow once, if it happened at a dramatic moment. But not every combat, that would get old pretty quickly. :)

Me too. Don't know why... :) Owns Teh R0xx0r, Torm. Of course. Owning, or if you prefer, having Teh R0xx0r or Teh Funney is quite nice.

Well, that and many people misspell it on purpose. It's Teh Cool.

Default 3E *is* pretty Diablo 2-ish. Of course, the potion belt is not going to fit in every game as is. Personally*, I treat retrieving a potion from a potion belt the same as drawing a weapon (since your sword scabbard is probably going to be in a very similar spot as the potions on your...

IMO, the best part is when the present poster doesn't realize that a given post was made a year ago and berates the writer for his position given that the opposite is clearly written in *insert book that was published last month*. :D Or a rogue. Wait, uncanny dodge doesn't work when you're...

Ah, but if their income tax is way less, it would work out the same. Not that I know whether this is the case or not...
