I'd rule that the druid being carried by the rogue rather than moving about under his own power allows/forces him to use the rogue's reflex save rather than his own. This might seem to cause problems later, if people suddenly jump onto the rogue's back to get the benefit of his evasion -...

The crazy thing is that 3.5 went to great lengths to eliminate, say, instant death poisons, but they went ahead and left in instant-death spells. I never understood that. Instead, what if 'flesh to stone' damaged your Dex, with the effect that you were partially turning to stone - and you...

...the post so nice I posted it twice...

True. I don't see that as being particularly innovative, though - I can do the same thing with D&D by setting the DCs for tasks at appropriate levels, or making the 'average person' higher or lower level in relation to the PCs. All of which depends on your ability to convince the GM that your...

Well, according to IMDB (which is not necessarily accurate) it went something like this: Connor: Now you will receive us. Murphy: We do not ask for your poor, or your hungry. Connor: We do not want your tired and sick. Murphy: It is your corrupt we claim. Connor: It is...

Huh. I loved the Amber books (the first series more than the second, and the knockoffs not at all) and hated the game system, which boiled down to "convince the GM that even if your number is lower, you should win". The mental image of a spastic Benedict constantly parrying attacks from...

This is an excellent book if you want to get into that much detail. Tons of flavor that might not be completely historically accurate, but is nonetheless interesting and inspiring. J

Taking a page from Green Ronin, I see. (Jalie Squarefoot, the lich fiend, from Legions of Hell and Hell in Freeport.) I wonder how close it turned out? J

Note that doesn't include ranged weapons - they don't get the light/one-handed/two-handed distinction (that's only for melee weapons) and they can't be used with finesse. That still leaves the possibility of throwable melee weapons open, as they do have the 'light' category, so you'd have to...

Let's see. In the warforged racial description, there's no skill penalty, but the spell failure chance is "similar to the penalty for wearing light armor". There's no "considered to be wearing" clause. For Adamantine Body, it says "you have a -5 penalty on all skill checks that armor check...

I forgot they added a dex minimum when they folded Ambidexterity in. Ask your DM if you can have the 3.0 version of the feat, or a version limited to shields.

Well, actually, it doesn't, which is why there's confusion. The exact sentence is "However, your base land speed is reduced to 20 feet, and you are considered to be wearing heavy armor." Full stop, no qualifications. Of note, though, it specifically does not say "you are considered to be...

The adamantine body feat, which is to say, the same feat I was talking about in the sentence before, with no indication that the subject was changing. I suppose you might want to avoid assumptions about basic English structure, but then you would also want to avoid the assumption that I was...

You can certainly trip without your hands, but it generally involves getting very close to your opponent. Don't necessarily think of a videogame leg-sweep - instead picture the armored fighter mucling up to his foe, stepping behind them with one leg, and giving them a good shove with his...

I thought the DTRPG backlash was not from the praising themselves (which is to be expected in a press release) but the sniping at other online sellers by calling them unprofessional. J

Sanctuary appears to be at least in part a mental effect, since it requires a will save. I'd say it has full effect on the weilder. Also, I'd rather not crank it up to +5 - it shouldn't be any better at hitting or damaging an opponent without magical defenses. J

That is correct, and it's only for max ranks - when levelling up you pay costs based on the class you are levelling in. While you may not agree with the rule, it is necessary - otherwise you run into problems with multiclassing: say a first level rogue multiclasses into fighter. He's got 4...

But, warforged can't wear armor, and the adamantine body feat says you are considered to be wearing heavy armor. Therefore, they can't take the feat at all. More seriously, I'd consider the following: the only place that adamantine is involved in the actual rules is in how to bypass the DR -...

He can pick up the 2WF feats and shield-bash with the best of them, so what's the problem? J
