    Ragewalker's Frenzy vs Dominate Person

    Ya but I think the wizard used the dominate on the barbarian to save the ranger. The ragewalker ability induces a state in the target in which the target then works out how to best attack the nearest person. Dominate tells the dominated exactly what the dominator wants. I'd rule that the...

    How do you use aligmnent based mechanics without alignment?

    As the title suggests, I am curious about the worlds where the DM either choses to throw out alignment in favor of encouraging heroics, or where the rules of alignment are far less stiff than the rules as written. How do you have your specifically alignment based abilities work there? Throw...

    Planetary Physics: Two orbitally locked moons

    The Sun also has a major impact on the tides, and it doesnt seem to be mentioned in this discussion, and i thought it would be prudent to point it out. I'm not an astronomer or a physics major but it seems to me you would still have tides but they might be more pronounced than on earth...

    Need Help with Ship Names, Types

    Not to derail but is Corsaire an online suppliment or a printed book? I've always wanted rules for this kind of thing and it sounds like you know where to get them. On the subject of ships, perhaps consider going with the ebberon approach to half orcs where they are more oriental flavored and...

    Pimping the Paladin's Ride

    Look it up, Paladin mounts aren't Magical Beasts. They're Animals treated as magical beasts, but retain the Animal type (d8 hd, 3/4 bab ect.) So it's a smart animal. Pimping the horse out for cash seems like a general no no, since the mount is a gift from god. If the money were used to benefit...

    Request for help: Simulacrum

    Give the simularcum the stats of a dragon half the hd of the original. It keeps whatever ablities it's supposed to, and looks like the original. The only difference is that it's weaker. The spell isn't rez + dominate. It's just a copy, and it happens to be weaker, and for dragons it uses a lower...

    Fullmetal Alchemist

    You make good points, but my only contention is this. It hinges on the dating system in the letter. The only valid conclusion you can make is that either Ed's world shared common occurences with ours (I.e. the death of Christ) or is a splinter from our world, caused by or connected by the...

    Fullmetal Alchemist

    There's nothing that says Ed's world is the far future. However, I submit that it isn't possible to be the future. The major point being, there's no talk about time travel anywhere in the series, and the way the gate is set up links the worlds pretty solidly. Unless you want to moebius strip...

    What is adamantite, and why is it so special?

    If Mithril is Aluminum, how do you explain the strength properties? Aluminum isnt exactly durable. A chain shirt of aluminum wouldn't do very much to protect you. Isn't titanium fairly light metal? Adamantine is supposed to be a fairly dense and heavy thing, that's why stuff made from it weighs...

    WTF is "cold iron", and why's it so special?

    What's wrong with just renaming it since the hang up is the name and not the substance? Take a page from Tad Williams and call it black iron or something. That sounds cooler anyways imo. Cold Black Iron! or something.

    Fullmetal Alchemist

    Spoilers and stuff- Ed's world is a parralell world to ours. Instead of developing technology like ours did, they developed alchemy, which is their equivalent to science. There is a bridge between the two worlds, the big black gate where souls are housed. If you see that gate by trying to...

    Power Attack too useful? When is it NOT taken?

    You can't power attack with light weapons.. so if you're weapon finessing you're probably using a light weapon with which you can't power attack. Given that, your average two weapon user is pretty much screwing himself by power attacking, since he's reducing his +attack on both hands. His off...

    Cross class skills for class skill price?

    Which feat or ability allows one to buy cross class skills at class skill ranks, but keeps the cap on cross class skills the same? Also, where is that feat or ability found?

    Half Janni ECL Questions/ Observations

    I was thinking the elf ages perhaps. Do you use the same age extension for half celestials?

    Half Janni ECL Questions/ Observations

    I'm thinking of playing a half janni soon (as the last campaign was put on hold), as I really enjoy the concept. However, I was wondering if one were to drop the planar jaunt ability, if that would be sufficient to drop half janni ECL to +2 instead of +3. On a side note, I find it funny that...

    Druids and fighters- wildshape and all sorts of fun

    Nature's Warrior is from the Complete Warrior. After getting severely beat down by a few ogres I'm seriously considering taking armor of the crocodile first. fast healing or damage will do diddly if i can't survive. Thanks for the suggestions, I was able to switch out my hide armor for some MW...

    Taking damage while Spider Climbing

    One question I have is.. it gives you a climb speed, which is like having a walking speed. Do you have to make checks to move while getting hit normally? For the duration of the spell climbing is a normal form of movement and it seems to me that if he was only moving to escape it wouldn't be...

    Druids and fighters- wildshape and all sorts of fun

    yay someone who knows what it is! yeah with a build like that you may want to pick up nature warrior 1 and pick the power which adds 3 damage to all attacks while wildshaped to make the hits count more since you're dps. How much does your animal companion contribute as a whole? I chose to...
