    Extra Swift/Immediate Action?

    I've asked on the legacy? boards about this, but I thought I would ask here as well as I'm not too familiar with PF yet.. (just bought the book). Is there any mention of a way to increase the number of swift/immediate actions that you get in a round (currently 1)? Perhaps a feat or...

    D&D 3.x Raw 3.5 sneak attack

    I was implying that you needed blindsight or darkvision. In the scenario given he has darkvision, so their is no concealment. The reason you need a reach weapon or a ranged attack to get the sneak attack is that the rat has Scent. Scent allows the creature to know the "presence" of the...

    wielding two weapons... but not TWF

    I don't see it this way at all. A weapon used for an AoO that is in your off hand, takes a -4 penalty to attack. That's it. Nothing else. It matters not if you have been, or even are planning to TWF. The AoO action is independent of other things you have done, or will do in the round because it...

    D&D 3.x Raw 3.5 sneak attack

    Since scent allows a creature to exactly pinpoint someone within 5', the rogue (who must have darkvision/blindsight) can only sneak attack with reach weapon, or ranged weapon. Note that Blindsense will not work here, because as we all know, you cannot sneak attack a target that has...

    Bardic Music

    No doubt about a Bard being annoying. And yet envitably, the person who usually chooses to play the bard, also plays guitar... poorly... or comes in once a quarter-year with some new ballad they wrote at home, that being pun-filled at best, or parodies.... ugg... and then, the rules debate...

    wielding two weapons... but not TWF

    In your original post, you wanted to know if there was a penalty to using a weapon in your off hand. By the RAW, there is a -4 penalty for using a weapon in your off hand. You must account for handedness! If you choose to, but why would you ever choose to, you can attack with only your off hand...

    wielding two weapons... but not TWF

    I'm with Dandu as well, in that you can choose to attack with either weapon. Where Dandu and I disagree, and you seem to agree, in your second line, is that off hand attacks take the -4 off hand penalty. TWF does not occur unless you actually attack with both weapons. I believe we all agree with...

    wielding two weapons... but not TWF

    No, Ambidextrous, is not in the PHB/SRD/RAW. The rule is clearly intended to imply that characters have a weak hand and is in the rules as "off hand." If you wanted to add it as a house rule, I would do Ambidexterity talent as part of an optional flaw/talent exchange as a 1st level character...

    Bardic Music

    I think this really depends on the situation and common sense must apply. Think of the "oratory" way of delivery. How long did people used to filibuster in Congress? What was the longest? How long are some of the epics? These were passed down from oratory. How long to recite Beowulf...

    wielding two weapons... but not TWF

    I don't know... In both the Strength and Combat/Damage sections of the rules, they specifically say that off-hand weapons use 1/2 the Strength modifier to damge. Off hand does not necessarily mean you are weilding two weapons... it means that the weapon is in your 'off (not primary) hand.'...

    Extra Free Action?

    You know, I have spoken incorrectly about my intent. Here is the SRD So I've mis-termed my intent. What I'm looking for is a feat that gives an extra swift/immediate action. On further thought, I would not allow conversion of a 5' step... but I might a move or standard action... Aluvial

    wielding two weapons... but not TWF

    I disagree with Dandu on this one... The penalties for attacking with two weapons are in the book... But... handedness is/should be an issue in a game. Then primary/secondary weapons is created. Primary weapons used independently of the secondary weapon (standard action for instance) use...

    Quick drawing stuff

    Drinking a Potion is a standard action that provokes. I allow characters to draw a potion (from a belt or bandolier) as part of a move action, just like drawing a weapon. You have to still have that +1 BAB. Then, with Quick Draw, I allow the potion to be picked as a free action. I also...

    I need help Dming

    Don't introduce any combat. Tell them that anything they say will be treated as if their character said it. Give out a glass beads for role-play IMMEDIATELY at the end of every session for role-playing. Find a rainbow pack of these at an art supply store for cheap. ROYGBIV Violet = 1d2...

    Extra Free Action?

    I may make it up and give it a prereq of Lightning Reflexes... Not sure what to call it. I want it to give an extra action to use for any immediate, swift, or free action.
