No, more often it's not knowing when the opponents act. There are a lot of desireable feats out there for rogues and Imp Init doesn't even blip on my radar. If you are a hybrid Rog/Fighter with a lot of feats then I could see it, but otherwise there are much better options. I've seen at least...

I'd be willing to bet that more Rogues have died from having Improved Init than from any other single source. "24! I win init! I move in, Attack! Hah eat sneak! Wait what do you mean he didn't die...and the rest of my party is going on 11 or lower? Oh crap." I'd say it's worth it for some...

demmit! Are they reshowing them in Canada 3 in a row like that?

Duskwood is from Magic of Faerun...Ironwood works just as well. It's not the base damage that you look at, it's the threat range and crit multiplier.

where is the SKR post from?

which is why you use a Duskwood Maul or other weapon. Did they at least make sure that you can't use it on non blunt weapons now?

I take that to mean that brambles is unchanged from the DotF version, and Spikes is still +2 enhancement, +1 damage per level, hour/level duration and doubles threat range?

How has Spikes been changed? It must have been changed, right?

Played the Elan yesterday. Three big fights, didn't use either ability. So basically I played a PC with no racial abilities and -2 charisma. I was a fancy Kobold :P The one time I might have used either ability was when a Delayed Blast Fireball came in but I used the immediate action to manifest...

Spending 100 PP to block that 50 damage is @ half of a 14th level psion's total PP for the day. If a mage had to give up half his total spell slots (by number of levels not by slots) to block an attack doing 50 damage would that be a harsh cost? Not to mention that it works for only 1 attack...

A side note to whether unupdated materials are considered "dropped" by WotC...well in effect they are. Since the 3.0 splats are out of print, WotC is essentially retiring all of that content. Of course we all can use the material, but in a few years, we will be the only ones. Even though WotC...

Simonson's run on Thor issue 382 (Jormungand battle) my personal fave Ellis on Stormwatch and Authority Planetary DKR Watchmen X Men Brood Saga, esp when Paul Smith took over the pencils. Mark Waid's first Captain America run Kingdom Come Preacher (first 6 issues) Was always partial to...

The bow is actually treated as a melee weapon. You get both the flanking bonus and the sneak. I don't have the close combat shot ability of the EWM in front of me so I don't know if it has similar wording. I believe not, so you would get sneak from 10' but could only grant a flank to an ally...

Thanks for the condescension Seraphna, but my brain is not hurting. I did not say that you could not flank with it, I mentioned that it doesn't expressly state that you can. I then mentioned that you can threaten with all that implies. Forgive me for not spelling it out for you. And how about...

You threaten with your bow at 10' but not at 5' and only when wearing light or no armor. It doesn't expressly say that you can flank with it but you do threaten. The drawback is that it seems to be an always on ability, meaning that you cannot shoot at a target 5' away ever.

I disagree. I have a feeling that this is not simply overdoing things, I think there is a reason for corrupting and killing the 2 most..."innocent" members of the team via possession. It's really one of the worst things an enemy could do to them.

Mark me down for disliking the orange...I really preferred the classic pale gold (not the recent bright yellow) on black and grey...maybe I'm just a traditionalist.

nevermind

So did you then put on your moderator hat and delete him?

3.5 Power attack is a problem. My 3.5 11th Fighter/Rogue (spiked chain) is doing close to the same damage per round with 3 attacks as my 3.0 19th level Ranger/Fighter/Holy Liberator is with 7 attacks (TWF with bastard/shield that does d8 damage on a bash). The 11th character is in a lower magic...
