Gah. Who allowed that travesty to occur? I haven't played with stat creation like that since... I'm not sure I've ever played with stat creation like that. Unfortunately, I think you're just going to have to forgo those feat trees. Since this is evidently a campaign where you're just...

Honestly, I think you're blowing the problem way out of proportion. Do you really want to make major modifications to a character you'll have to play for the rest of the campaign just to avoid a half hour of real time boredom? Tell the DM you're going to show up to D&D a half hour late, since...

As DCollins said, evidently it does provoke an attack of opportunity to use a touch spell on friends. I don't think I'd let you get out of the AoO in this circumstance. It's just too difficult an action to do with someone standing right there. It's not like you'll lose the spell, so unless...

There's no attack of opportunity for attacking into someone's square... that would mean you get an AoO anytime anyone attacks *you*. I don't think you can cover this with the rules as written. By the rules, no, no AoO. However, I think most DMs would probably give the fighter an AoO anyway...

Get the +4 intelligence item and convince your DM to allow you to take the feats but only let them work when you're wearing the item (it's pretty vague in the PHB about whether or not that's legal, but some DMs allow it). The other option is to put a decent score in intelligence and put that 9...

It's definitely better than any other +1 abilities. Curses are very powerful, and getting them for free every attack is crazy. Sure, at 20th level DC 15 ain't great, but a fighter with a +5 cloak of resistance is only likely to have +12 or so. I believe the fix is to not allow it. -The...

If you actually run a MT from low levels, it's quite weak. If you start at middle levels (8+), it's fairly balanced. It's definitely not overpowered by any stretch of the imagination. I've had one in a group, and while the guy had a ton of spells, none of them were as powerful as what the...

In order to not provoke an attack of opportunity on the way in, you have to "commit" to using spring attack, and to which opponent you're going to attack. The problem is that spring attack really ought to be its own action, taking a full round. Here's what I'd rule given the feat as written -...

Yeah, I am scared of weakness. It's hard to have fun if your contribution to the party is insignificant compared to everyone else's. It's always like "ok, I guess I go sit at the back and try not to die". Whoopteedoo. Maybe in the right campaign with really significant roleplaying situations...

I was just responding to other people's comments about spells they didn't like. There are a multitude of good changes to spells, I just didn't feel like listing out every one. Sure, there were some stupid things (shadowy illumination, anyone?), but for the most part, I think 3.5 spells are an...

Ok, first off, I don't treat Wish like the caster just rubbed a genie... er lamp, that is. I don't know who thought that was a good idea, but it's dumb when the caster himself is producing the effect. There's no malevolent power out there controlling the result of the spell (except some rabid...

Gah, lost a long reply.... Here's my 9th level Bard's list: Expertise Weapon Focus Longsword Skill Focus: Use Magic Device Spell Focus: Enchantment Lingering Song Balanced across a bard's three main faces - skills, spells, and combat. Note that I always carried a bow as well, but didn't take...

Pokemount and 1 min/level buffs are about the only things I don't like. Almost everyone I think can agree that 1 hour per level was too good for the buff spells, but 1 minute per level is too low. 10 min/level would have been perfect. Long enough to last a couple encounters, short enough so...

I think rogues are important in almost every group - dungeon crawling without someone who can silently open 10 locked doors in a single day is a huge PITA, not to mention the fact that he's the only one who can even *tell* if they're trapped, and do anything about it if they are. I've...

Bumpity bump bump. Not that I think I'm likely to get a response, but you never know :)

I'm looking to either start or join a Hero System game. I'm a long time roleplayer and have had a fascination with Hero System for years. My regular group can barely keep up with one D&D campaign thanks to World of Warcrack, so I'm looking to branch out. Please let me know if you have a game...

I can probably make this. It would be cool to meet up with other area gamers (well, Worcester's not exactly "area" for me, but at least it's somewhat near). I have 7 friends with whom I game regularly, and might be able to drag some along... one of which lives in Holden and therefore has no...

One of the biggest rules debates I've seen (besides ones that have a clear right answer and some people just don't want to accept it) - Do spells like polymorph and derivatives thereof (such as a druid's wildshape) count as "magical effects that increase size" and thus not stack with spells...

Personally, I think a Lawful Good Pit fiend should not exist. Pit Fiends aren't just evil... they're [Evil], the very incarnation of Evil. Is a pit fiend evil? Is water wet? You shouldn't be able to redeem a pit fiend - it's not a human with morales and forgiveness, it can't be sorry, it...

Regardless.... to the original poster - you most definitely can use sneak attack as many times per round as you can make attacks. Sneak attack is something that you can choose to do if you are attacking someone under certain conditions. By far the most common are when you catch someone flat...
