I know there are a bunch of them in the cleric/paladin splatbook, which require channelling ability, but what about feats for other classes? I am especially interested in ones that require a minimum CHA bonus, not just ones that give a bonus to charisma-based skills, such as Trustworthy and...

Re: Re: Is a druid in wild shape recognized by an animal companion? Well, I think in the spell description it says otherwise. It's just a friendship. After the casting of the spell, there is no lasting magical effect. (It is not something that could be dispelled, for example.) So, I think...

I was kinda wondering about scent. I'm just not sure, though. Wouldn't your scent change, along with the rest of your body?

I agree, on all counts! I've done that on several occasions when my fellow players were thinking (excessively, in my view) about the right way to approach a door, who should go first, whether we should rest first . . . blah, blah, blah! One time I just went up to the door and knocked on loudly...

Does it still know that this "animal" is its master, or would the companion perceive the druid as a stranger or even a potential rival?

Awesome idea! The only thing I would worry about is that the players might gripe about not gaining experience as fast as they would if they were just playing one character.

Joshua, I am afraid my message did not come across as I intended it. I did not mean to put words in your mouth, to ignore your very insightful points, or to argue with you in any way. I think your ideas are quite good. I was just trying to express the difficulties I have had in accomplishing...

I have always thought this to be a good idea. However, it is difficult to achieve. Just because you have a group that has neutralish-good alignments doesn't necessarily mean that the characters have compatible goals. Furthermore, it can be difficult to determine exactly what your...

I have taken this approach too, but often with some kind of in-game negotiation as well. For example, one time our party was recruited (in an Inn, of course) to deliver an important message. The DM expected us to just go along with this out of the goodness of our character's hearts. But my CN...

I guess destruction sends a message, at least. This reminds me of the reality of the fact that players who do not go along with the DM's plans often end up dead. Booting the door is a great way to meet that end. And of course, going solo in a different direction from the rest of the party is...

I have found that even pretty good DMs often are not able to craft plots that automatically "hook" the PCs into the action. As a player, have you ever heard your PC saying to himself, "So . . . what does this strange newcomer in the Inn have to do with me? I could care less"? Or maybe . . ...

Umm ... guys, the emperor looks naked to me! This sounds like a phony rumor.

Is there such a feat? I'm looking for a way for my fighter to be able to take Wilderness Lore as a class skill without multiclassing.

Re: Re: Thanks ... keep 'em coming! This is a sound argument. Spellcraft is irrelevant. Bluff is the only skill that could possibly be used for this purpose. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that a spellcaster has to rely on a bluff check. There are other ways to go about it, such as...

First of all, it wasn't you who was making the ad hominem attacks. I did not mean to direct that toward you. Now, the reason the burning torch counts as evidence is simply because it is listed as a magic item. That may not be the most compelling evidence possible, and it could be...

If it isn't evidence enough that it is listed as a Magic Item, then we would have to ask ourselves what evidence is necessary to establish that a vorpal sword or a helm of telepathy is a magic item. Even if you find the evidence insignificant or unpersuasive, it is still evidence. Look...

Like other magic items, the prerequisites for its creation ARE given in the DMG. In this case, there is only one pre-requisite--that you be able to cast Continual Flame.

One: Everburning torch. You can't first remove all counter-evidence in order to come up with the principle that you are using to discount that evidence.

All men like beer. So, then what happens when you encounter a strange person who looks like a man but doesn't like beer? More than one conclusion is possible. a) The individual only SEEMS to be a man, but is not. Or ... b) The premise may be usually true, but there are exceptions...

I like this way of handling it. On the other hand, I have some doubts. Maybe the spellcaster should have to do a bluff check. Or maybe he should have to try to stand out of sight, behind a curtain, or at least at a short distance away from the target. It would seem reasonable for the...
