    Armour of Command - Errataed?

    Thanks! (I don't own the AEG at this point, but if it's been reprinted there with a check bonus rather than a Cha bonus then I suspect that's what it 'should' give.)

    (OT) Literature Abusers

    Preliminary trials and the anecedotal evidence of expert clinicians specialising in the tragic literature-abuse sydrome suggests that stopping the subject reading 'cold-turkey' is ultimately counter-productive. Instead, they suggest a steady supply of Tom Clancy or, for the more recidivist...

    Armour of Command - Errataed?

    I couldn't find a Defenders of the Faith errata on the Wizard's website, but has it been clarified whether the "Command" armour special quality adds a +4 competence bonus to Charisma or (like the original Breastplate) a +2 competence bonus to Charisma-based checks, or other?

    Sune's Sumptuous Seraglio - help me level it

    Basically I wanted to create a spell that provided a shelter, which while not a Leomund's Secure Shelter-style crude cottage was also not of the level of Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion. As the character creating it is a worshipper of Sune, I went for "Sune's Sumptuous Seraglio"...

    AoO craziness - I just noticed

    If a character is held while in melee, her melee opponents do not gain an AoO on her (even though the rationale behind AoOs is a free attack granted by virtue of someone dropping their guard....) But if the character, paralysed as she is, casts a silent still spell, she draws an AoO. How am I...

    The Scattered Ones

    OOC: No - not work problems, server problems. Anyway, seem to be fixed. Still waiting to see what was in those cauldrons - on the assumption nothing explodes too much ... IC: After satisfying his alchemical curiosity Namfoodle declares that he will follow Seebor downstairs, to provide him...

    Invisibility - Glitterdust - Invisibility

    Glitterdust trumps invisibility but doesn't remove it I have always assumed that glitterdust doesn't "render an invisible person visible" (like invisibility purge) - it coats them in sparkling glittery stuff, which is visible (due to the nature of the spell) despite the fact that it is in...

    Please rate Sculpt Spell

    IIRC there was a long and rather heated debate about this very feat ?here or ?some other boards... The particular application being questioned was sculptedburning hands - the argument being whether you could get a 40ft cone out of it or not. On the 'pro' side - 1d4/level to 5d4 is not much...

    Is there a d20 Steampunk setting?

    Either WotC or 3rd party - I'm quite interested in the idea of running a steampunk campaign, and would be interested to know of any sources of ideas out there to plunder! As I live in Australia, PDFs are generally better for me but if only available in print, that's fine too.

    Net vs charge?

    Thanks - and yes, i forgot about that, which does make the question academic.

    The Scattered Ones

    OOC: ROTFLMAO! IC: Namfoodle wanders over to the cauldrons in the fireplace and checks inside.

    Net vs charge?

    If an opponent is charging and I throw a net as a readied attack when he is 10ft away: Given that you cannot run or charge when entangled in a net does it prevent his charge attack? If he has already equalled or exceeded his movement rate is he forced to stop, or can he 'convert' the charge...

    Dwarven Defender... 7th level class?

    Obviously it's not what you are looking for for your character, but given that you are unable to move, I find that Defensive Stance works really well for Clerics. They gain a Str bonus (which helps with touch attacks if mothing else) a Con bonus (which pushes the already high hp of a dwarven...

    Jump Skill...what the?

    I get every character to pre-calculate their Jump distance if they 'Take 10' (unless jumping in combat, where they can't Take 10, this represents the distance they can jump safely) and the distance they can jump if they roll a '1' (this is the safe distance for jumping in combat.) Between those...

    New respect for crossbows

    hong - Newcastle (working at John Hunter hospital.) As far as I can tell, crossbows are illegal here, even for hunting purposes, although one of the nurses were telling me that there are people who use them for wild pigs, as 'normal' rifle bullets won't stop them chasing you down unless you get...

    New respect for crossbows

    This morning we had a girl come into our emergency department having been shot by a crossbow. It had gone through the meat of one thigh and into the other leg. This was after it had penetrated completely through a friend of hers: into the front of the chest, through a lung (miraculously...

    Mystic Theurge PrC - They've got to be kidding!

    Maybe it's just me, but I'm sad that they tried to 'fix' multiclass spellcasters by means of a (n inflexible) Prestige Class rather than providing rules that would generally make the combination more viable (there have been several good threads on the topic in House Rules.) While this class...
