Namfoodle uses the distraction provided by the creature smaking Seebor upside the head to slip past, following that portion of the party whch is retreating and regrouping. He is careful not to touch anything with his glowing right hand (unless he can reach Seebor this round, in which case he...

I have heard that the jumping rules have changed, and note that the ring of jumping and boots of striding and springing grant a paltry +5 to Jump skill. How is distance calculated for the various types of Jump now in 3.5?

Fighters get this proficiency for free. :D (Honest, they do!)

Thank you for a wonderful Story Hour. I'm sorry it had to end, but I thoroughly enjoyed as much of the campaign as did take place, and if you do get the chance to complete the Shrine of the Monkey Woman story I look forward to reading that too. Can't write more, off to read your Greyhawk SH...

As I have (now twice) tried to indicate, the comment was meant to be tongue-in-cheek rather than 'snide' or 'snotty'. FYI: T-I-C indicator light ---> :p Nevertheless, to reply to your post, I addressed particularly the issue of Savage Species because (as suggested in my previous post) I...

/adds Celtavian to the "guys/girls with NSOH" list Right, that out of the way, if you intend to treat it as a serious proposition, I will rephrase. If a DM using non-standard options finds they interact poorly with Core rules, that in itself is not a good argument against the balance of the...

...deserve whatever game balance ramifications flow from their silly decision.... :p

...is exactly the kind of thinking the DnD system doesn't allow. Well, to be precise, it does allow evil dead-reanimating cultures to think that they are doing the right thing and that paladins are "evil" - but what members of such a culture think doesn't matter. Well-rationalised evil is...

This is to my mind an excellent, concise summary of DnD 'good' and 'evil'. Not 'bad' and 'good' in the sense that one mortal might judge the acts of another, but intrinsically determined. So you can certainly imagine a society in which animation of the dead is considered 'right' and 'noble' -...

I definitely agree with you that the biggest problem with the Feat change is not that it makes two-handed-weapon-wielders vastly more effective but that it makes the moderate-strength-dual-wielder concept unviable - and anything that destroys a concept is trouble for Living Campaigns...

...saves me the effort of writing my own post :)

With unintelligent undead the souls are not involved; you are using negative energy to move the flesh and bones around. So I don't think the whole 'bondage of souls is bad' explanation fits. On the other hand, you can't raise or speak with animated dead, so perhaps you could say that the act...

Preach! (Of course personally I'd rather see the spell removed - while I understand the designers' preferece for leaving legacy spells in situ, I think mirror image, at least without serious modification, interacts very poorly with 3e rules.)

Hence my last two paragraphs trying to explain how a spell which isn't a Target spell can still be thought of as 'targeted' in a broader sense. Just to show (a) two can play the FAQ-quoting game and (b) no, the FAQ makes no sense and is indeed self-contradictory..... Main FAQ p50: If the...

Jespo - a brilliant creation simultaneously Baldrick and Blackadder....

Re: Re: re I'm going to use one of my characters as an example (currently Bbn4/Rgr1; let's take him to Bbn4/Rgr2 and give him Power Attack as a 6th level Feat) as I don't feel he's atypical for a 'two-handed-strength-fighter' type. Raging attack bonus +13 (+6 BAB +6 Str +1 magic) Damage 1d8...

"Targeted" spells are quite different from "Effect: Ray" spells. For example, to cast a targeted spell you actually need a target. OTOH with a Ray you can fire one into the darkness, into thin air hoping there is an invisible opponent lurking there, above your head just to impress the...

I was thinking Size D (the jungle cockroaches rather than the Size F house cockroaches;) and there is a precedent for Vermin familiars (the Hairy Spider in FRCS - in becoming a familiar its type still changes to Magical Beast, and it thus loses its immunity to mind-affecting spells.)

Interesting choice of words. To me a good small retailer value-adds in providing good and knowledgeable service. How many Wal-Mart employees know the first thing about RPGs?
