RiotGearEpsilon originally posted this feat on my web site (which I edited in such a way that made it too powerful). Here is the latest compromise. ----- HILT DEEP [GENERAL] You can leave a weapon embedded in your opponent to deal extra damage. Prerequisites: Power Attack, sneak attack...

I think two things have to be considered with a feat like this. 1. Regardless of how many daggers you carry, there's no guarantee you'll be making a sneak attack every single round. 2. This feat will inflict no extra damage if the victim stops fighting and waits for the cleric to make a...

That really depends on how you define the fatigue caused by sleeping in armor. In my opinion, you end up fatigued after sleeping in armour because it's exceedingly uncomfortable and cramping to your body. By comparison, it would be easier for your body to simply stay up all night (if you refuse...

Actually, I think all that implies is what we have been talking about so far. The ring of sustenance makes that stipulation for the purpose of healing, preparing arcane spells, and the like, but there are still no rules for simply not sleeping. There are lots of side effects (not being able to...

Which very conclusively answers my initial question. There are no "official rules" rules for ordinary lack of sleep in 3rd edition. I seem to recall a 2nd edition rule that stated characters needed at least 4 hours of sleep per night or they would suffer a cumulative -1 modifier on certain d20...

Thanks Paul. But how about plain old regular "lack of sleep" (having nothing to do with armor)?

I know there are fatigue rules caused by forced marching and the like, but what about lack of sleep? Is it right under my nose in one of the core rulebooks and I just missed it? Kolja

Hello Halivar. I'm not sure why this hasn't been mentioned yet, considering the project you are spearheading, but there is a version 5 of the Challenge Rating document floating around. I'm sure if you ask Upper_Krust, he would Email you latest build.

As per the racial classes that Sean wrote for the Wizards of the Coast web site, located here (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sp/20030824a), what are the weapon and armor proficiences for a drow? For a druegar? For any race? More importantly, how do you figure it out on your own? Do...

Hey Wulf. Again, I understand what you're saying. Why is one 14 more valuable than another 14? Look at it like this ... the guy with a +4 modifier has the potential to break out of the normal 3-18 range. The guy who rolled the 14 naturally does not. This is how the Challenge Rating system has...

I wondered why I was getting hits from EN World today. :cool: Except for the fact that sorcerers hit a ceiling of spells known, and can never swap out 8th or 9th level spells. Now while bards also hit a ceiling of spells known, they possess a game mechanic foreknowledge of spells (in the same...

Then I wasn't clear enough here. I am not suggesting that the difference between "rolled" attributes be counted towards Challenge Rating. I am strictly talking about the difference between racial attributes bonuses. Take a high elf for example. +2 Dexterity, -2 Constitution. Total bonus = 0. No...

Let me start this off properly. *Injects Anubis with twice his normal dosage of Ritalin.* There. With that out of the way, I can now safely say that Anubis is right. Ability scores should not count. I understand the logic of any argument that claims Upper_Krust's Challenge Rating system...

Perhaps I can do for Stalker0 what Knight_Errant did for me. The issue Stalker0 is making here is not so black and white. It is not about making the sorcerer more powerful or not. It is not even about making the sorcerer more flexible or not. What Stalker0 seems to be saying (in my opinion) is...

It would also be great if a talented "java" programmer designed a web page that calculated Upper_Krust's challenge ratings system. Not that this is a huge incentive, but I would custom design a prestige class to their specifications. So I guess what I'm really looking for is a java programmer...

It's funny. You didn't read a single word I posted past the point that you just quoted me, did you? If you had, and actually let it sink in, we'd be a whole lot closer to resolving our dispute. I don't want this to go on. I want it to stop. But I will not be painted as the hijacker by you.

Yes Khaalis, you're completely innocent.

A word to the wise... This thread is a worth-while read. Khaalis has lots of really good idea about sorcerers. But I suspect that he received a warning about the previous thread for good reason. If the ideas you submit do not match the ideas in his head, Khaalis may say something to you like...

Then by all means, hang your hopes on flavor text. I hope that works out for you. :) All you have done here is provide yet another example of your continued inability to read a statement in context. Whether "in" so many words, or "not" in so many words, I still haven't said that "flavor text...

Yes, it's called a rebuttal. So try as you might to hit and run, I do have something to say in return. So if you'll excuse me for resisting my censors... Hold on for a moment here. Let me get back to this in a second. I challenge you again, rather than talking trash, to find it. Let me make it...
