    Expanding Monks Weapons

    Is there a feat that allows a monk to use his flurry of blows with a different weapon? I want to use a light weapon as part of my flurry, but it is not in the monks original list. It is a light piercing, like a rapier, I can't quite remember the name of it in my DM's game. Is there such a...

    Crossbow Mastery?

    Where can I find the details for this feat? I believe it is a variant for the Ranger's Improved Combat Style at 6th level, but can't find it anywhere.... Thanks, Aluvial

    DM advice please! - 3 Strikers, 1 Leader

    This shouldn't matter. Roles are "interesting" concepts, but really have little to do with the standard array of powers your characters have. You will have melee attacks and ranged attacks. Period. They will all basically be the same. Sure, one might move you a square, or move your enemy a...

    Bookkeeping powers, actionspoints and hitpoints?

    Use a wet erase pen. The marks do not smear unless they are wet. A small napkin will clean the mark easily. Power cards are tedious. I know a lot of people like them, but they really are extraneous to running a character on a sheet. I type up the powers, I have a nice template for word now for...

    Cost of Spell Book w/ Certain Spells In It?

    So... I tried this approach last night... and attempted to burn the books. What I did was this, I picked out the Fire Lizard out of the Tome of Horrors, then advanced it and its breath weapon. Then... ambush while they were travelling. Since they generally needed to dismount to fight, I...

    Cost of Spell Book w/ Certain Spells In It?

    I have given out a set of 30 spell books, that have within them, all of the 1st and 2nd level Wizard/Sorcerer spells of 1st and 2nd level. I indicated (foolishly) that the books themselves had numerous places of overlap, but to have the complete set of spells, they would have to transport all...

    Ok, BAB?

    How do you figue the BAB for the characters... Is it half level only? I can't seem to figure out how to do an attack bonus??? Is it 1/2 level + ability modifer only? Why are the attack bonuses for the pregens on the Wizard's site so high? What am I missing? Aluvial

    Need Some Character Design Help Please

    I really could use some help because I'm crunched for time and I don't know the new system very well. I need some Feat advice for some characters. I am using the pregens from the wizards site as starts, and they offer level advice up to level 3, but I need help up to level 6. I see that...

    Ability modifiers for children / adolescents

    If you did do age modifiers for adolecent and child entries I would just extrapolate from the existing modifiers... Let's see... Ok, so a Middle age character loses 1 to body stats, Str, Dex, and Con, and adds 1 to mind stats, Int, Wis, and Chr. I wouldn't necessarily add to body, but...

    Sneak Attack with a grenade

    I've had this come up in my game too. I ruled that yes, you could get the Sneak Attack, essentially hitting the troll in the "best spot" with the fire, say around the head... the extra damage is alright in this case. Again, it wouldn't work with the splash... Aluvial

    Sneak Attack Question?

    Ok, I may have missed this, but I was reading another rule in the Magic Item Compendium that got me thinking that I may have been playing Sneak Attack wrong... If you have multiple attacks, and all relevent conditions apply (flanking or flat-footed), and use the full-round attack action, can...
