    Defending Longsword +2

    Gentlemen, a +2 sword remains a +2 sword no matter where it misplaces it's enhancement bonuses...it is still a +2 sword (this fact doesn't change). If it did then the silly thing would be unable to exist and we would be unable to debate on it... :p The defending +2 sword of course retains it's...

    Fly + Exp. Retreat = ?

    "Flight" as mentioned here is a poorly chosen term for the wording of this spell. It means flight as in running away and not actually an ability to fly. So Expeditious retreat has no effect what so ever on your Fly speed (as it IS a fixed speed according to the spell). As for the monk's...

    How would you build a Death Knight?

    Hey I checked out the Death Knight template, pretty sweet, and you're right shirt guy john the ECL for that is +5. A bit steep (preferring more class levels) for my taste. While this is a neat template I was thinking something a wee bit more subtle too :p, hmmm, something about attracting...

    is it -Help, im on fire! or just -am i burning again?

    DMG p.86 "Catching on Fire" sidebar at the bottom. The rule is there for someone catching fire, a d6 every turn can lead to some very serious damage if one is unable to put themselves out.

    [OT] Calling all English-speaking gaming groups...

    *chuckle* never fear it has been seen. Heck, as an unrelated party I'm just kinda curious how other game groups sound/play together...I may just record our group just for the heck of it ;)

    How would you build a Death Knight?

    If an opportunity arises I wanted to approach my DM with this character sketch: a LE Death Knight (preferrably undead). I've seen them, everyone knows the classic Dragonlance iconic death knight :) and now I'd like to play one. So how to go about it? Well just to share, I want to base this dark...

    Rules lawyer or not?

    You do realize this is somewhat of a loaded question being in the rules forum? ;)

    Giths

    They can also be found in the Manual of the Planes. If you have the monster stats that's all you need, merlion has it correct. Follow the -10 for even and -11 for odd and you'll have your stat adjustments for a PC Githzerai.

    The finer points of creating an Undead Frost Giant

    Why not just use the Vampiric Template, hehe :D

    summoning problem- need help

    *chuckle* don't know how I missed THAT one, lol. I don't think this use would bother me much anyhow. melkoriii provides an apt example of why such an act is perfectly acceptable. Besides they are burning a 4th level spell that could be potentially used in a combat situation. I wouldn't worry...

    Druid Animal Companions

    Is it perfectly acceptable for a Druid to have an animal companion that has been advanced to the number of HD (within the animal advancement range) the Druid can have with him? For example a 5th level Druid wishes to have a wolf advanced to 5HD. HAs anyone encountered any difficulties with...

    AoO Cleave

    Well, that make things clearer :rolleyes: Lol, well I wasn't assuming simply since I said so that it becomes a problem. I'm sorry you thought so, perhaps you would care to share your experiences and explain why you DON'T see it as beign a serious problem? In my experience a 4th level fighter...

    AoO Cleave

    :D As have I! Unfortunately it appears so. In the game groups I play and run this is not so. An AoO is a single melee attack and allowing special feats to activate in this manner is a tad broken/off. It makes no sense to let them do so and I expect an AoO clarification that vindicate this...

    Invisibility and Mud

    Personally, I see no reason why anyone would allow invisibility to ONLY be nullified by magial means alone. Besides the spell itself clarifies that exterior objects only turn invisible when tucked into the clothing or pockets of the invisible character. Unless the mud is getting tucked into a...

    [Rant] Please Tell Me This Aint True

    Well, for the most part, this is how things have always worked rule-wise. The FAQ simply clarifies points in these rules that may sow occasional confusion amongst gaming groups. So in effect you're juts bringing your game group on track to playing the rules correctly. :p If you have any...

    a question about a party Level

    I'm afraid you're mistaken there sanches. The DMG outlines XP for a party of FOUR PCs at that level. A party of six PCs at 9th would be considered equivalent to a party of four at 10th level as the JEster alread ypointed out. If you read the text in this section it explains this. Hope that helps...

    summoning problem- need help

    Hmm, limited use really, again mostly due to duration. A 10th level cleric could summon the lantern archon for 1 minute and that may be enough time to describe the location in accurate detail, provide a brief message, and deliver this brief message. Of course such a description would need to be...

    Disengage...where?

    The term disengage is a carry-over from Star Wars I believe. In D&D it's just: ya move away and that's it, do anything else and you get an AoO. :p

    [Rant] Please Tell Me This Aint True

    You must be referring to the Main D&D FAQ. No. The Empower Feat only increases variable, numerical effects. i.e. the effect must be a number AND a variable. Since the True Strike bonus is not a variable it does not work. Also incorrect. In the FAQ it specifically states "..,your first action...

    Lay on hands, sneak attacks and burning hands

    Can't find this anywhere in the erratta or FAQ, care to explain or at least provide a page number?
