    Which of WotC's 2004 D&D sourcebooks are you currently planning to buy?

    Of the list, Eberon and the Dwarf book are lowest on the totem pole. Eberon: Flat out NOT interested. Races of Stone: Dwarves don't need any more help :p UA, CD, Planar are most interesting (I'm very happy with CW right now). I love Psi but the 3e book was so uninspiring to me aside from the...

    Agile Riposte question

    IME, the -4 spoils it more often then not, and being prone while in melee with PC's with 2 handed weapons and power attack is a BAD place to be. :p Not ending your turn prone is the smart bet. Magus: Good point. I guess it's because of the wonky nature of Aoo's and interrupts.

    Where did you first see THAC0?

    What is...Lassiviren the Dark Alex. Damn that was a cool pic. The book itself was pretty nice too, stats on Bigby, some Lizard Man (another cool pic) a centaur, I think Melf was there...Basically you were peeking in on Gary's campaign. Ahh good times.

    Agile Riposte question

    Tripping, disarming and the like could spoil an opponent's full attack action, which may lend too much weight to the feat. Especially consider trip: if successful, PC's can consistently get up to 2 extra attacks per round. I don't think this is an unusual scenario for a PC that would be...

    Complete [woozle wauzle?]

    Ok, we have Complete Warrior and Complete Divine, and presumably Complete Arcane is in the pipe. I saw someone in another thread complain about the name of Complete Divine. I fine it a little awkward too and would have preferred something like Complete Faith as a title. It seems like stealth...

    What Were They Thinking? Worst Comic Ideas.

    Eh...I always found Angel interesting as a character, but man he was pretty useless with the feather wings. They basically had to either make him a taxi service or add low powered opponents to enemy teams that he could tangle with. He was good in the original team because he was the only real...

    Agile Riposte question

    I think I would allow it. It would make dodge more useful which is OK with me. I would probably add that the PC can only make a regular attack, to prevent trips, disarms and grapples from being used. That would make the feat too powerful IMO. Also add combat reflexes as a prereq to up the cost...

    Sharp Shooting vs. Imp Precise Shot FEATS??

    Yup, rangers, dex fighters and Eldritch Knight-style casters will take imp precise shot, while str tanks (dex too low), rogues (BAB), and spellcasters (both) who do a lot of ranged touch will take sharpshooter. I think it's a good division, and does a good job in providing alternatives to...

    Sharp Shooting vs. Imp Precise Shot FEATS??

    Not just ANY 3rd level character can take imp toughness. +2 fort save can be a 1st lvl warrior type or a 6th lvl class with poor fort. Like Sharp shooter, toughness is intended for the low-level non-warrior types while imp toughness is intended for low level warriors or higher level characters...

    Exotic Weapon Master

    I like the class, but yes I found some of the qualifications...odd. Forex, why can't you get 2x str damage with a 2 handed weapon? I guess they wanted to make a few abils that applied to different types of EW's in order to promote some different (potentially suboptimal) weapons, which seems...

    Ice Storm... Full round?

    The fact that it can disrupt casters as continuing damage is a pretty useful change. It was used on us last weekend and our casters were not happy with the concentration checks ;) Concentration checks in the mid 20's can ruin a mid level party's whole day....or round. That is a correct...

    Complete Warrior: Who's the best warrior of the bunch?

    I'm a big fan of the Occult Slayer. Quite frankly, it has almost everything I'd want in a dedicated anti-spellcaster fighter, except maybe SR or evasion. Combine the class with Ranger levels (and the right favored enemies) and you have a really nasty specialist. Also, Stonelord is just really...

    3.0 facing vs 3.5 facing

    Yup. Played last weekend with new facing...bugs me to no end.

    Dastana Questions (from Arms and Equipment Guide)

    basically, the enhancement bonus improves the AC value (or armor bonus) of the Dastana, which is stated to stack with other types of armor. ie: A +1 suit of leather has a +3 armor bonus. A +1 Dastana has a +2 armor bonus, and it stacks with the leather. The enhancements never interact directly...

    Need help with a Skald build

    I would allow a Bard song while raging. I can envision a beserker war chanting both to enhance his rage and raise the morale of his allies. Mind you, the chants may be a little simplistic ;) You have a good rules-based objection to it, but I'd let it go for the flavor and I also find it...

    Dastana Questions (from Arms and Equipment Guide)

    What Tal said for the rest of your question, but this part interests me. My reading of the feat indicates that it only applies to TWF, not to a 2 handed weapon. Is this a house rule or am I missing something? My spiked chain wielder needs to know!

    [CW] Exotic Weapon Master stunt

    That's what I thought too, but there's no linking statement between the 2 sentences. He gets 2 for 1 PA when using the weapon in 1 hand as well as in 2.

    4 Stealthy PCs + 1 loud metal paladin = ??

    I didn't mean to give up the Full Plate entirely, but yes, a stealth loadout is a nice way to put it. For aid another, it should be easy for one of his buddies to aid him in padding some of his noisier joints and demonstrating on the move where and how to step to visualize the +2 bonus.

    4 Stealthy PCs + 1 loud metal paladin = ??

    Characters that are big, shiny and loud should feel like they are dragging down the stealthy party. Should the rest of the party get the clanker's higher AC while the clanker gets thier higher stealth bonus? Leaving him far behind on occasion is good, as is having him carry a chain shirt for...

    [CW] Exotic Weapon Master stunt

    Here you go. "Uncanny Blow: When wielding a 1 handed exotic melee weapon in 2 hands, the character can focus the power of his attack so that he deals extra damage equal to his strength bonus x2 instead of his strength bonus x 1- 1/2. If he has the Power Attack feat, he treats the weapon as two...
