    The Scattered Ones

    OOC: Just the imp stings (I don't have time to treat all the bites and axe wounds - anyway, Namfoodle is presuming for the moment that while possibly diseased they are probably not poisoned, and disease he's got a little bit of time to treat or try to cure....) Namfoodle will Take 10 (result 10...

    The Scattered Ones

    Namfoodle runs around as if he has consumed enough sugar to supply a small cloud giant, and rapidly jabbers instructions, ties tourniquets and rubs poultices onto the limbs of those stung by the imp, hoping to counter the insidious venom. OOC: Heal checks on those stung (including himself) to...

    [OT] Helping stupid people

    From a doctor working in the emergency department - protect the blister. Do not pierce the blister, or allow the blister to be pierced. Doing so is a recipe for infection. Infection is a recipe for prolonged wound healing. If not systemic seeding, sepsis and death. (OK, the latter sequence...

    Disarm with reach weapon - AoO?

    PHB p136 left-hand column "You can use a melee attack with a slashing or bludgeoning weapon to strike a weapon or shield that your opponent is holding." A melee attack not a standard action (to compare, Disarm also says "as a melee attack" but bull-rush says "as an attack action or a charge...

    Disarm with reach weapon - AoO?

    By the letter of the rules you cannot provoke an AoO if you are not threatened. It is a perfectly reasonable House Rule that the opponent get a free Sunder attempt on your weapon if you perform a combat manoeuvre that would otherwise provoke an AoO (like Disarm without Improved Disarm) but it...

    Mortality Radio # 30: Ed Stark interview available...

    For the record, I play a ranger using a longspear. Took Combat Reflexes as my first Feat. Do I feel that the Ranger should have been given a 'spear-fighting' option? Not particularly. If I wanted to be the best spear-fighter ever I'd have taken some fighter levels. Are the bonus Feats...

    Max distance for net?

    The net lists 10ft maximum range, and the weapon description goes on to talk about a 'trailling rope.' My question: if the net-thrower doesn't bother to hold onto the trailing rope, can a net be thrown farther than 10ft, or is that a 'set' maximum? What if she has far shot or the distance...

    Bursting a magical net?

    Normally in order to damage a magical weapon, you need to have either a magical weapon or equivalent damage reduction yourself. The net description in the PHB lists a (Strength check) DC to 'burst' the net. My question is simply: can a creature without a magical weapon or damage reduction...

    Blindsight Feat

    I have the Core books, the class splatbooks, OA, FRCS, MoF, FaP and SavS. While SavS has an Improved Scent Feat (which doubles the range of the Scent ability,) and Masters of the Wild has the Blindsight Feat (which grants 120ft blindsight) I can find no Feat matching the description you have given.

    Illusionist Core Class - comments please

    Thanks for the comments so far! Taking them in order: thullgrim: You could quite reasonably replace Scribe Scroll with Spell Focus (Illusion) as the first level bonus Feat - in fact, it is probably a better idea; then add Scribe Scroll to the list of bonus Feats an illusionist can choose. If...

    Illusionist Core Class - comments please

    Posted this in the General RPG forum originally trying to address the question "can the flavour of the 1E illusionist be captured?" This class attempts to create an illusionist which is different to the core wizard - focussing very much on illusion, distraction, light and darkness etc. I have...

    [3.5E] Change to Track feat?

    I personally hate the idea of changing Tracking from Wilderness Lore to Search; not so much because of Rangers (who have both as class skills) but because of Barbarians and Druids who take the Track Feat. They are outdoorsy types who by rights should be able to track and hunt better than...

    The Scattered Ones

    If Namfoodle sees how badly Seebor is hurt, he will use cure moderate wounds (5 +7 +5 =17) rather than CLW.

    The Scattered Ones

    Round 4 (?) action: In the light provided by his prayer, Namfoodle quickly and professionally scans the other party members to see if any of them are hurt badly. Standingstill, tobereceivingfleshreconstitution! he advises cheerily and then reaches up with both hands and another prayer to...

    1st ed Illusionist, bringing back the feel of in 3rd ed.

    A long while back, there was a thread about necromancers - how do you create a Necromancer that isn't just a Wizard who casts a couple of extra Necromancy spells/day and can't cast Illusions (or Enchantment, or other useless school ^_^) My suggestion was to redesign the spell list - adding in...

    The Scattered Ones

    Surrounded by allies; apparently protected for the moment at least by Seebor, Namfoodle will cast a light orison on his dagger, illuminating the 20ft surrounding him.

    Epic Casters, How do you run with the pack?

    The reason is the all-important caster level. Yes, you don't get more spells/day. But you do get a better chance of beating SR, your spells are harder to dispel, last longer, go further, affect more targets and in some cases (although most spells are capped) do more damage.

    Shapechange abused?

    Shapechange is almost irredemiably broken (and that's not a word I use often.) By the letter of the rules you can become a Primal Air Elemental with a DC67 whirlwind, a million-ton+ block of adamantium, a Flesh Colossus with a DC56 (Ex) Frightful Presence, a DC60 (Ex) Stench which renders...
