    [TOUCHY SUBJECT] Why all the hate for min-maxing?

    This is how I min/max: 1st I come up with a character concept and then I look for ways of making it work in D&D. Then I min/max based on that until I get something that is as good as it can be but still holds true to the original concept. I think the problem comes when someone does not even...

    How did you find EN World?

    I did a search for 3e news sometime in '99(?) and it was listed on Google... visited ever day since. Borc Killer

    How *NOT* to fake a press release.

    /sigh What I hate is that people think this stuff is real and never look to see if it is. It would not surprise me to see this come across the scroll on CNN... after all they (and Fox News) have lifted stories from www.theonion.com before. I guess it is the state of the world we live in...

    concentration, ready, the deabte

    I have always felt the same way as your DM but this quote from Deset Gled has helped ME legitimize it in my brain. I would use it to try to convince your DM as well. He can think of it as a spell completion thing... you do everything BUT cast the spell and then as soon as you see him start you...

    Home of the Major Religions Of the Realms and Greyhawk

    The World of Grayhawk box set has some regional information about the religions. Not sure why it got left out of the later books as it looks like everything was just cut and pasted from one edition to another with just minor changes. It is the best source I have found... anyone have a better...

    Sorry, I know this was covered in a past post but i did not pay attion... and i can't search. I will be polymorphing our parties monk in to a Troll tomorrow night and was woundering how you handle the natural weapon damage with the normal monk attacks and with flurry. Also will her Bracers of...

    Lets talk about charm person

    Here is how we would handle it. Beholder charms the fighter so now the fighter sees the beholder as his most "trusted friend and ally." Beholder says "these foul beings are not your friends! These are doppelgangers that an evil Balor has sent to kill me! Once we kill these doppelgangers we...

    Protection from Evil curiosity

    This spell is not over powered in my eyes... however if it was a permanent effect it would be a very very very good item... I would price it at 50k... if at all. If you think it is over powered as a spell then you have never had all 3 tanks in your party get charmed (another first level spell)...

    Can you trip someone standing up?

    Yea this caused a nasty ‘discussion’ in our group. Being able to trip someone while they are standing up is just way too good. After basically refusing to DM until we fixed it they finally figured out how broken it was. It would not have been that bad if it happened in one combat here or...

    Improved Toughness

    You can't take feats more than once unless the feat says you can. I dont have that book in front of me but as i recall it does not say you can so you can't take it more than once... but if it does talk about it then sure. Borc Killer

    Flurry of Blows + Two Weapon Fighting?

    Maybe I am missing something but... doesn't Improved Unarmed Strike cause your whole body to be a weapon? And therefore you would not need any kind of weapon in your ‘off” hand to use TWF? "You are considered to be armed even when unarmed" (PHB pg 96). Main reason I ask is I was going to take...

    tumble + fly?

    Just as a point of background there is a reason why I am called Borc Killer... heheh... mostly because Borc was killed mercilessly in a few of my campaigns a long with a few others. (Yoric escaped most of my wrath... except for that meteorswarm...) Now that had nothing to do with his ruling...

    tumble + fly?

    I think that it would be pretty clear that if you can not tumble in a deep bog then that would be roughly the same as underwater or if you were burrowing. So i think those are out of the question... unless something else helped you out with it... like freedom of movement for water or Xorn...

    tumble + fly?

    Last post here. This does not need to be our chat board and this board is about how rules are not how they should be. I am not sure why you think the PC would need to generate momentum... because they would not. They just pick a direction mentally and they move in that direction. As for how...

    tumble + fly?

    heheh. Good post Borc! First off I never asked that tumble break the basic rules of flying as put forth on pg 20 in the DMG. If you tumbled while in flight you would still have to make sure you did not violate any of the maneuverability rules. That part is at least obvious. Second, most PCs...

    tumble + fly?

    Yep that would be the issue in question Hypersmurf. Everyone else around the table felt that it would be impossible... I could not fathom why but I could not find a rules statements that said you COULD do it... As I read fly it gives you fly as a base movement so it should be considered...
