    Rules for Torture/Brainwashing?

    I think Dordledum made a good point, I would just like to add to this, time is needed as well. But sometimes not even that is enough to break a person, see: The skin I live in (A good move for torture and brainwashing inspiration).

    Feats That Shouldn’t Be Feats

    I find that all-in-all there is one feat that should not be before we talk about the rest. Vow of Poverty in Book of Exalted Deeds, but not balance wise but design wise. This feat give the player a full progression, unlike any other feat, and this feat actually existed in 3rd edition where it...

    Sneak attacking larger things

    I wish to shift the subject to the other end, from creature weakness to the weapon it self. SA with a dagger slicing the colossal dragon's spinal cord? So to say it in a different manner, I find it weird that you can use ANY weapon to make a SA. A rogue ith Improved unarmed strike dealing 10d6...

    Sneak attacking larger things

    Those are my initial thoughts too. But when you think about it, how can a dagger harm a beast with a hide thicker then the dagger is long? (and I mean this like stabbing a colossal dragon or lets just a say a colossal earth worm). Another example: Sneak attacking a colossal elephant while...

    Sneak attacking larger things

    Hi all. My question this time is: - How do you handle a character sneak attacking a much larger creature then it self? How do you deal with the lack of logical weak points in a sneak attack situation? Example: A gnome rogue on a Purple Worm's back stabs it with a dagger. Rule wise the rogue...

    Adding a Template to an Existing PC

    Simple math how to calculate the XP needed: ECL x 1000 = XP needed for next level/HD --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So in your case its would be: (5 levels + 2 HD + 2 Level Adjustment) x 1000 = 9000 till next level...

    Suping up a construct

    Well I am still playing a transmuter crafter character and i read up on constructing....constructs. And I came to the conclusion that you can do multiple types of upgrades: a) Increase its HD as indicated. Some of the constructs have more detailed progressions described then others. b) When...

    New to D&D

    Welcome to the world of role-playing games! Now I know this will be contradictory, but in my experience with table role playing games, is to: a. Stay ignorant of the rules and purely play for fun. I am saying this cause I never had as much fun as I did when I started playing RPGs. You will keep...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 - Some Questions - Monk, Drunken Master, Vow of Poverty

    I meant the Thief Acrobat, it my fault for presuming everyone has exes to all the books... here is a link if you still wish to comment on the question. Link Yea I know about that but it causes more problems for me, cause we never determined what happens when a monk uses a Monk's Belt. Which...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 - Some Questions - Monk, Drunken Master, Vow of Poverty

    Yes I agree that Sekhmet answered every question...except the last one. Tho I would like to hear some of you opinions on some additional questions. - Could I use items, lets say a Cure potion to revive a party member, or anyone for that matter, who is dying? (The potion belongs to the fallen...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 - Some Questions - Monk, Drunken Master, Vow of Poverty

    Improvised Weapons (Ex): While bottles and tankards are a drunken master’s preferred improvised weapons, he can use furniture, farm implements, or nearly anything else at hand to attack his foes. This is my concern (the underlined part), it leaves the players with a very loose interpretation...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 - Some Questions - Monk, Drunken Master, Vow of Poverty

    1. Well it states for spell and such the monk counts as an outsider (charm person, hold person does not work and so on). Since my character is already an outside and these effects already don't effect me, I would only gain the DR 10/magic. 2. I meant like using Boots of speed to hit someone...
