My DM uses 3 to 5 fatal traps between encounters. He complains that I have a +20 search vs traps, but fails to realize that I would die without it.

Closest thing I can think of off the top of my head is the ranger 1 spell "Hunters Mercy" found in spell compendium. But its not exactly what you are looking for and would be hideous when combined with vorpal, if the DM is willing to break the stated rules and allow it. The price is irrelevant...

The 3e system of skills is by no means perfect. But some kind of skill system has to be in place IMO. To me, adventuring isn't just about killin' things and taking their stuff. Its about overcoming challenges in search of a goal. Skills (along with utility spells) define how good you are at...

how about warblade focusing on white raven discipline?

At least it wasn't as bad as the helicopter stunts in "Tomorrow Never Dies". Blarg.

I have not read WWZ. What is it about the zombies that invalidates modern warfare tactics? Do the zombies regenerate all non magical wounds? do they require silver bullets to kill? what? Do they move 10 times faster than a normal human? Do they shoot lasers from their eyes? Does every living...

Shaun of the Dead was a good zombie movie, and it had competent military response. However, they only showed up in the last what? 10 minutes of the movie? So the trick to mixing a realistic military response with a good zombie horror is to focus on the initial outbreak where the civilians just...

Keep a rifle in every room of your house, 2 in your truck. But a pistol should be fine for walking around. And never go anywhere without your anti-zombie spray. :D

I am referring to AP artillery and gun shells, large fragmenting rounds. Ideally with multiple sub munitions.

AP = Anti-Personnel Shock = Hydrostatic shock, not the medical condition of nervous system failure due stress. Handling Large Crowds != UN peacekeeping, I mean killing them with extreme prejudice. It looks like we have some ambiguity of terms here.

Edit: mod posted while I was typing. removed comment on a removed comment on a removed topic.

Feeling shock doesn't kill you. Its the fact that shock turns certain organs to liquid (your brain, liver and lungs specifically), the typical zombie is slain by trauma to the head. HE and AP shells actually do liquify flesh in a very significant radius. A .50 cal machine gun bullet can take...

That I don't really buy. Good old fashioned highly trained US armored cavalry is vastly more lethal than any number of AK toting, heroin smoking, brainwashed, preteen death squads. Particularly against mindless zombies that tend to swarm. Any tank or APC will be pretty much immune to everything...

In SW SAGA, you can degrade either move or standard actions into swift actions. In fact some abilities require 2 or even 3 swift actions per round.

There are no shortage of guns available, all 3 wal-marts in my town have a wide range of shotguns and rifles, with tens to hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammo in each one. How many bullets are in 64 cubic feet of ammunition boxes? The wal-mart I used to work at had 8 of these pallets in the...

They probably won't hit the ground at terminal velocity if they use the squirrel suit to impair their speed. I would max the falling damage at ~ 15d6 instead of 20d6. They will still probably be doing better than 100 MPH, and it looked kinda like they could do an angle a bit shallower than 45...

I have not used it, but my gut feeling is that it would be overpowered. IMO, it would be more balanced if the spell level progression capped at level 6 spells, like a bard.

Lakes. Not islands. How many islands do you know where are, right now that meet the following criteria? 1: no people living there. 2: no bridges or tunnels connecting them to the outside. 3: no in visible range of a populated area. 4: not in a frequent flood zone 5: with arable land 6: with a...

How do you die 3 days after water stops getting pumped into your house? I am 100% sure that I can survive 2 weeks after water and power fail just on basic emergency supplies. How do I know? I am still alive. I kinda had to deal with a situation a couple years ago with no power, water...
