    Readied Action - Setting A Spear Against a Charge

    What if the triggering action isn't the charge, but the charging opponent entering your threatened area?

    Failed scroll activation roll

    I'd say failing the CL check causes you to activate the scroll incorrectly, resulting in its depletion. The Wisdom roll checks if you do not suffer negative drawbacks from this mistake. My interpretation, though.

    VoP and Monk

    Pretty high all the way to level 20? Are you kidding? VoP grants at highest levels the following AC bonuses: +10 Exalted, +3 Deflection, +2 Natural. ANY melee character at this level could afford gear granting him +15 AC total. Let's say a +2 mithral full plate, a +3 heavy shield, and a...

    What 3rd level spell should a Vow of Peace/Poverty sorcerer take?

    It's worse than that, you can't help your party deal damage either. The wording of the feat reads "If you intentionally harm a living creature or help your allies harm a living creature, you lose the benefit of this feat". Anyway, some good 3rd level spells to have... Abjuration: Dispel Magic...

    VoP and Monk

    Yeah, he has a high AC... for a level 1 character. As soon as you hit lvl 5-6, it's not that high any longer. And with 10 Int, you can't take Combat Expertise to make up for this. And with 10 Str, you won't be able to hit (your standard goblin has AC 15...) or damage anything. And with 10 Con...

    Poison usage

    Why should it be more evil than planting a sword through a chest? Or tossing fireballs? Or using Sneak Attacks? Or heck, summoning Undead ??? I don't know why using poisons should be considered evil. It's a combat option, nothing more.

    Any WIS based arcane casters?

    Only considering official sources... Half-Fiend compensates that troll's penalties to mental attributes. Half-Celestial boosts Wis at the expense of Int. Both have a high LA, making it a subpar choice for a spellcaster (buth then again, Troll is a subpar choice for a spellcaster in the first...

    Ademantine Sword How does it work?

    Grab the blunt end. Plant the sharp end in an enemy. *runs and hides*

    Good Power-Gaming Build?

    Half-Dragon is BAD. This LA +3 just isn't worth it. Sure, you get awesome Str bonus, but that's pretty much everything, and it doesn't justify +3 LA. Heck, if you want that kind of charater, play an evil character and take the Lolth's Touched template, it gives you an insane +6 STR and +6 CON...

    Arcane Thesis

    Sorcerors are spontaneous casters, they can't benefit from Quicken Spell. Amen. Chain Split ray Enervation. Reach Sculpt Antimagic Field. Chain Fell Weaken Black Lore of Moil Ray of Exhaustion. Energy Substitution Born of three thunders Still Silent Empowered Maximized Scorching Ray (I think...

    Dragons' Blindsense?

    Yes, exactly. Maybe he can't see you, but has good enough an idea to torch you with his breath weapon. Oh, and you can't sneak upon him either.

    Spiked Chain + Great Cleave = DM's Nightmare

    The whole thing about the figher's build is Great Cleave and hope to drop the opponent in one round, or AoO. So instead of using 100 mooks with 1 HD, you could: - Use less mooks with more HD. - Heck, use a single BBEG. - Use Undead: Spiked Chain is Piercing damage, which does not bypass the...

    Unsettling Enchantment + Beguiler = win

    Yeah, as long as the barbarian never hits level 3, it's a good feat... Otherwise a barbarian lacks feats so hard that wasting one on WF is, well, a waste. Barbarian has full BAB, high Str, and Rage, masterwork weapons are cheap, so hitting is never really a problem. On the other hand, getting...

    Rogue build advice

    If you want a psionic class with a suitable favor for your character, try Lurk from Complete Psionic. It is Int-based and has a very good selection of powers for a sneaky character, plus it would boost your fairly low Will save.

    Baba Yaga Stats?

    Always thought Baba Yaga was a Nosferatu Antediluvian in Vampire: the Dark Ages... Well, in VtDA it's a 4th generation übermonster of awesome cheese with barely an attribute or discipline under 6, mostly stealth and combat-oriented. Meeting her is most certainly a once-in-a-generation experience.
