Just a quick question: On the stat block for an ettin on the SRD, it says that the BAB for a melee attack is +12/+7. I understand that, but the stat block for an ettin generated on etools comes up as such: --------- Ettin CR 5;Large Giant ; HD 10d8+20 (Giant); hp 65; Init -1; Spd 40; AC 11...

Wow, my group has been playing this 100% wrong from the get-go. So let me get this correct: If I am holding a bow and an enemy crosses a square within my 5' reach (a normally threatened square), I can't draw a melee weapon for my AoO? What if I have the Quick Draw feat? Oh, and just for my...

Hi Everyone, I know that an ettin is a CR 5 creature. How would I figure the CR of an ettin with a level of fighter added on? On the same note, is the CR of normal core races based on character level? (Example: a level 3 mage is CR 3, or a Level 5 Ranger/Level 2 Fighter is a CR 7). Thanks...

Thanks for the help!:D

Thanks for the quick replies. I'm pretty sure I udnerstand what you're getting at, but bear with me. So a Large creature vs. a Medium creature would have a -1 to his AC and a -1 to his attack roll? Again, sorry, but I just wanted to make sure I'm understanding this correctly.

Hi Everyone, Maybe you can help me regarding these size modifier questions. I may be wrong on the actual modifier numbers, but the substance of the question is what I am more concerned about. Here it goes: 1) If a medium-sized creature is fighting a diminutive creature, the diminutive...

Hi Everyone, For example, last session a mage cast Sleep and pronounced "Profundus Somnus" as he was casting it. What other terms have you used to cast spells? I would like add a little more detail to the mage I'm currently playing, and I find that saying the actual spell is much more fun...

Hi Everyone, I'm running a D&D campaign and we've got a session coming up where the group will be introduced to one of the major villians in the story. However, my image of the villian doesn't really go well with the rules. Here's my problem: The villian is an alchemist/mad-scientist who...

I'd be interested in this as well. BUMP.

Thanks for the help! :)

Thanks for the quick replies. So what statistic of the armor would affect things such as swimming and climbing, which are strength-related?

Hi Everyone, If I were wearing full plate (which has a max dex bonus of +1), but my dexterity was 16 (a bonus of +3), does that affect my BAB with ranged weapons, or just everything else dex-related? Thanks.

I had a question along the same vein: One of the players in my group chose werewolves as a favored enemy because of his character background. Does that mean he would gain bonuses against all lycantropes (sp?), or just wolves in particular?

I find that the game is much more fun when die rolls are not fudged. However, there is that rare time when a certain point needs to be put across and a certain check needs to be made.

That's a good suggestion. I like the idea of the fort save on a crit.

Hi Everyone, If my PCs were to find an extremely rusted and battered shortsword (or any other weapon for that matter) that's been abused over the years, would it affect the damage and/or the chance to hit? Would the weapon be more susceptible (sp?) to breaking or not performing as well? Thanks!

LMAO:D

Hmmmm..... those were all great ideas! And you're right, that second suggestion would make the PCs more than a little aggrivated. I've never been a particularly vicious DM, but there's a first time for everything! I will definitely keep those in mind. Thanks for the info! Any other...

I'm running a campaign with a major theiving organization that the PCs have stumbled upon. They found the secret entrance, but that, unfortunately, sent them falling into the literal middle of the main hall, where an illegal fighting ring was being run. After they fell into the main hall, they...
