Really? 'Cause it happens all the time in the games I'm in. Sure, it might be something more like "ok... so I'm power attacking 3, and I charged, but I'm also shaken, so my attack roll is at -3... damage is at +6..." <rolls> "I miss." (or) "I hit, I do ... 16 points of damage." It's just...

I bought this book a couple weeks ago, looked at the classes, looked at the feats, and very briefly skimmed the manuevers, said "meh" and put it back on the shelf. Then I read this thread and my interest is piqued... I guess I was missing something. Well, I go back and read the manuevers and...

Which is, honestly, a terrible rule. They should either get it or not. The "description" should never be part of a monster's rules.

I think it's a terrible rule. It's not going to make fighters more diplomatic, it's going to give them tumble and use magic device. What's a far far better solution is to give everyone a couple points a level (x4 at first of course) for background-y skills. A very limited list, like swim...

It's really quite simple. Diplomacy is as useful as your DM makes it. He could ask you to make a diplomacy roll with every NPC you talk to, or he could never ask and only allow it in very specific occasions when he's decided it will have an effect (or even never - he may make you spell...

Crits are by definition rare (unless you're up against a cheesed out crit guy, in which case he gets what he deserves). And sneak attacks are really rare to be used against PCs in my experience, plus, most of the damage is going to come before the druid knows he needs the spell up. It is a...

The intent of the spell is that you should be able to reshape x cubic feet of stone. If they wanted to restrict it to an unbroken mass, they'd have been more specific about it. As has been pointed out, it's not unbalanced using that interpretation, and it's godawful useless if you use the...

Meh. It protects you against a whole bunch of rare afflictions. Doesn't provide any protection against most people's #1 affliction - damage. It's basically just anti-DM cheese. *shrug* I think it's fine. Cool, but definitely not overpowered. It would be horrible as a 6th level spell...

The only suitable animal companions are those in the player's handbook. Make him show you where blink dog is in that list. It's not. For one thing, it's not even an animal, it's a magical beast, so it doubly isn't legal. Get the DM to go over this guy's character with a fine toothed comb...

So ANYWAY.... :) Oddly enough, the more I look at druids the more they look like they probably play like bards..... granted, stupidly powerful bards, but bards nonetheless. That is - fairly skillful (with wildshape, you can get bonuses to a lot of useful skills), ok in combat with some...

Holy crap, that's wicked cool. You lose armor and shield proficiency and wildshape, but damn, look at those bonuses. Yeesh. I don't know that I want to give up wildshape with my first druid, though.... kinda want to get the full experience before I start twiddling with it. I'll definitely...

Really awesome replies guys. Ignoring wildshape isn't a terrible idea, but I'm not sure I want to give it up all together.... it's really handy for scouting, etc. I may have to get UA, since our DM is specifically using several things from it. What does Swift and Deadly Hunter do? Sounds...

As I said in another thread - I'm building a druid for a wilderness based campaign. This will be my first druid, though I have played several rangers before (love the 3.5 version). Any tips I should take into consideration? I know natural spell is almost a must-have once wildshape comes...

A friend is starting a new campaign with the PCs all coming from a savage tribe. A friend and I are both being druids, and it made me wonder, are there any interesting things you can do with two druids? I've never had more than one in a party before (and never actually played one myself)...

Wednesdays (somewhat negotiable) 7-10pm, at my home in Belmont (accessible via bus from Harvard Square or by car from anywhere). Fantasy Hero game starting up very soon. Currently have three players, would like 1-2 more. We're all 30-ish, looking for people in the same general age range...

Buh?

Just a quick point, asked the DM and the King is going to pay for the wedding, we just need to put the town into reasonably decent shape. I love the idea of making the wedding a superbowl style event. Given that the king is paying for the actual ceremony etc, all we have to do is spruce up all...

I honestly don't think the DM has done anything wrong. He might be inflexible about some things, but I'm guessing there are plenty of plot hooks hidden in those numbers. He's pretty smart, and when I dragged out the DMG to look at what people should be getting paid, he mentioned he got a lot...

Juvenile silver dragon. Her hoard fits in a dresser drawer right now (literally). :) About fixing the airship... problem is that the wizard of the party is pretty sure it's going to take a powerful wizard to fix it (it's not a matter of patching holes in the hull, it's fixing the magic that...
