I generally don't. So far anything with a number begs to be exploited, so I keep this a story/DM thwarting basis.

'Plots & Poisons' has feats and a martial style (ala Oriental Adventures) that allows you to fight with two shields. The martial style allows you to keep both bonuses, as well as have the bonuses count for attacks and damage. It's VERY feat intensive though. It's 3rd party, but that also makes...

Thanks. :) I appreciate the back-up.

How about after attacking? His statement (now) is that he can exceed the 60 ft after the attack. The SRD says you go back to the point you started from.

I think I see where the mix up is for the 1000 ft spring attack. The player is operating under the assumption that the D. Spring Attack has the same range as the dimensional step ability (he's not reading far enough into the ability). Per the SRD, this isn't the case. Does the original text say...

The mechanic doesn't represent pulling back further on the string, but taking lose aim at specific areas. The result is a lesser likelyhood of striking, but those shots inflicting more damage when they do. This concept actually exists IRL. It's the basis of any automatic small arms weapon (why...

What I had in mind was just a one-for-one trade. So far the consensus has been against, with concerns that there will be more attacks and that archers will be harder to hit. Guess I'mm going to sound like an @$$, but this doesn't bother me so much. Anything else?

Sounds like the thieves guild can use ignorance to it's advangtage. Spread the word that the guild is backed by a dragon, with the shaman either playing the dragon or its representative. It won't fool an intelligent opponent, but it could keep the masses in line. Play your cards right and nobles...

How are they different?

Give us some more info on your campaign world. Where do dragons stand in it?

Suppose you created a feat, say 'Careful Aim', that was mechanically identical to Power Attack. Does anyone see a problem with this (and no, I'm not planning on making a cleave/great cleave equivalent).

We're using a defense roll with a level based adjustment for our campaign. It works well so far, no inherent 'the fighter never gets hit' complaints. Then again, defense is an opposed roll. The random factor may help mitigate some of the advantage.

Thought I had a handle on things with the original house rule. The discussion has given me a better perspective so far.

We've done well so far, since it's a dragon star game (heavy fire balls are balance with blaster rifles). It's that the player concerned has a tendancy of keeping me on my toes rules wise. Creative interpretation, remembering scewed tid bits about powers or abilities, etc. It's forced me to be...

None yet. I'm working at being pro-active in this regard, trying to think up abuses ahead of time. The biggest so far has been save boosts.

My concern would be it's use in a gestalt campaign. The balance is shot since the player is looking at mixing it with a combat based class.

Wha tdo you recommend for the over-channeling rules?
