I have to agree with Cedric on this one. I've only been playing 3.x for a couple months now, and I'm still learning a ton every day. There are certainly benefits to a well-structured/defined system. I think it's particularly useful for putting everyone on the same footing (for world-wide games...

Thanks for the tip - I'll see if I can make some contacts at the PolyTech university. I'm in Murowana Goslina, about 15km North of Poznan. I work in Poznan and go there most days anyway. Drop me an email at aaronblairak@yahoo.co.uk or hellefire@interia.pl sometime and we can chat that way. Aaron

Because I've only been playing 3.x for 2 months now, I've been trying to do it by the be\ook to get a feel for it. I was offering full xp for absent people if they had someone run their character and had the chance of dying. I recently changed that to 1/2 xp, because I think that people who show...

"[drunken frat guy] Make out with her, dude! Whooooo! [/drunken frat guy]" Best advice I've seen here so far :) Aaron

As far as I know only dex and deflection bonus, and size modifiers add to the base 10 for touch atacks. Hm, the DMG says everything EXCEPT armor, shield and natural ac bonuses count, so I guess other things may come into play. Aaron p.s. Where in Poland are you? I am near Poznan, and having a...

Thanks for the list of alternate classes. At the moment I don't have PHB II, and she's mainly trying to tweak her existing sorceress some (atm 5 sorceress/3 dragon disciple). I'll pass on the ideas to her for later though. Thanks again! Aaron

1E DMG, hand down

Ah hah! I don't have the $950 leather bound version:). Thanks for finding that for me! Thanks for the tip Moritheil - where can I find the Battle Sorcerer - I think she is looking for something just like that. Aaron

Thanks Infiniti! One of the random items the group found a month or so back was a darkwood buckler, which I realized was pretty useful for my wife's sorceress once I started looking into the various rules on armor. I'll make sure she knows about mithril as well. Thanks for the info! Aaron

How many of you are fasting for me right now?? Aaron

Sorry if my last reply seemed hostile. While I agree with you in general (despite the inconvenient truth of having to look something up in multiple places as ValhallaGH mentioned), I do notice that they repeat information in various places for clarity's sake. I don't oppose that per say, clarity...

Actually, it would involve adding the words 'Swim (see Swim skill, page xxx)' to the list of skills affected by armor check penalties under armor feats. A bit less than 400 pages. And I do notice they listed the other skills affected by armor. Aaron

Yeah, I understand how the rule is meant to work, it just annoys me when there are contradictory/hazy rules like that. To be honest, I LOVED it in 1E and 2E. But 3.xE seems to be about specifying rules to be as unambiguous as possible, and I would rather they do that completely if that's the...

Oooh...70 necro...mana please! 70 chanter myself :) Unfortunately my computer chair broke so I'm spending more time around the gaming table lately. Wierd the little things that affect our lives. All good advice so far. The advice I would add, isn't so much as advice as it is experiences I've...

Yeah, I saw that. It's very clear in the skills and equipment chapters what effect armor has on swimming. In chapter 5 - feats, however, it states 'When you wear a type of armor with which you are proficient, the armor check penalty for that armor applies only to Balance, Climb, Escape Artist...

So, my wife asked if she could hold a shield and cast a spell with her sorceress if it was stilled. Because I am still a relative new-comer to 3.x, I told her to hold that thought and looked it up. As I'm sure all of you know, armor check penalties for arcane spells only apply if there is a...

Yes, it leaves room for interpretation. I have always used the examples (which multiply strength bonuses on crits) to mean that any plusses to base damage count for crits. It is very specifically specified, everywhere extra dice appear, that extra dice are not multiplied. This seems to infer...

Is it me or are there 3 stories missing? Aaron

Thanks all for the explanations involving the original question clarification, and further information as well! Aaron
