My favorite character concept is always the one I'm currently playing. Usually, though, being a nature kind of guy, I tend towards the Ranger/Scout/Druid builds. I'm probably unusual because I like to play the support guy. I don't really need to blow things up or beat things to a pulp...

No. From the SRD for Stunning Fist: So a 5th level monk may use Stunning Fist five times a day. A Monk 5/ Scout 4 could use it 5 + 1 times a day. Further, from CArc: Thus a EF with 7 monk levels and 3 EF levels could use Stunning Fist 10 times a day. With Arcane Fist you spend one of your daily...

oops, double post. I HAVE got to learn to stop hitting the back button.

Rats! I hate to spoil the fun of this idea but this is covered in the glossary. To add to what Veg said: 1) creature: "A living or otherwise active being, not an object. The terms "creature" and "character" are sometimes used interchangeably." 2) action: "A character activity. Actions are...

I'm sure you're aware that p. 137 of the DMG addresses some of this. (I love the example of the the party depleting a town's cash reserves by selling 5 gems!) Historically, metal pieces were valued by weight and then, later, also by purity. D&D gets rid of this with the simple expedient of a 1...

Hey, don't blame me, blame WOTC. From the PH (via SRD): "If you get more than one attack per round because your base attack bonus is high enough, because you fight with two weapons or a double weapon or for some special reason you must use a full-round action to get your additional attacks" Yes...

Once again, I agree with Parsiflage. Go figure. I don't see anything that says anything but that you can see in darkness. So I would presume it's just like normal vision. I guess that would mean you get to see colour. Man, it's just weird trying to wrap one's head around the potential physics...

Sorry, I got so busy with work I forgot about this. Yes, this is exactly what I've been saying all along (and why I got confused about your original answer). This is why we generally don't count corners as part of the border. At one point, we house-ruled that "passing through" meant entering...

No, it's not clear, which is why some of us say differently. But, before I get into that, there's this: Hmm, it should've been clear that I accidentally said 'WA' when I meant 'charge.' After all, I was talking about 'charge' at the time. Now, once again. I'll spell it out for you and you...

I'm going to have to disagree. 1) As already pointed out, a charge gives you one attack. Pounce gives you multiple attacks therefore it cannot be used in conjunction with WA. 2) Also sort of pointed out, a charge is a "special full-round action." While WA Pounce gives you a full attack, your...

So do I. It helps to avoid problems. And, often, when people ask questions they are looking for a reason behind something, or the 'official' rules, not just a 'yes/no' answer. Especially when that answer winds up being wrong (as I've seen on occasion). Ah, see I was only thinking in terms of...

Duh, I'm an idiot. Sorry, it's 3.5 - these are rules I created in 2.0 but never codified them so much as now. Yeah, but that's game mechanics. I have a real problem with standard initiative and simultaneous, quite frankly, is not only more realistic but also natural. I've trained several newbies...

Sorry to be thick-headed, but why? It can still be dispelled just like Permanency, so I'm apparently missing something. You know, I hear that here and elsewhere but I've yet to see it. I guess I've been just lucky but I haven't seen it anywhere else either. I'm currently running a Ultimate...

Um, AFAIK, there was no listing for ECL or LA, so without one or the other your formula wouldn't work.

As I’ve mentioned, I’ve been recently codifying my rules for Simultaneous Initiative. I realized that players may want to know definitively how simultaneous movement works. This is what I have: Simultaneous Movement In most cases, it is not necessary to worry about the movement of...

Right. That's why I said "presume the enemy has a higher init bonus." So, are you saying then that even though we have the same initiative roll, we technically don't have the same initiative so neither spell would disrupt?

My favorite villains are the ones who annoy the bejeezas out of the PCs and then have a little twist at the end. 2e D&D: a) NoBudge, the Troll. Yes, he lived underneath a bridge. Unfortunately, the party had to cross the bridge anytime they wanted to do anything interesting. He would accept as...

As a DM, I have used 'simultaneous' initiative for over 20 years. Now, as a player, I am forced to use standard initiative. Unfortunately, this means I can't get out of my head the way I think it should work as opposed to the way it actually does. Take as an example: I am casting Fireball and...

Help! My brain is fragged from too much work this week and I can't remember how to do this. I'm running a world where the PCs can pretty much be anything as long as they have documenation. A few months ago a player started a template that had no LA listed. I can't remember if there was a way to...
