I highly recommend not trying to get bites to work with unarmed strikes. As you've noticed, the rules are all over the place and it'd be difficult to justify some of them. Also, keep in mind that natural weapons don't get iterative attacks (except with the Improved Rapidstrike feat), thus...

The wording on the Down trick is almost there... I suppose it's the closest we'll get to explicitly saying that telling the animal to attack means it will continue attacking. In this case it's implicit. You're correct on the general handling. It is a DC 10 to get it to do a trick it knows...

The 502 error is back again, at least with Firefox. Not getting it in Chrome or IE. The link I get when it pops up with the 502 is http://www.enworld.org/forum/login.php?do=logout&logouthash=1364929881-9610385e69a343eb9f736dcbd493d2b9104d2ef4 If I make sure to uncheck the "Remember me" box it...

Considering there are necessary checks to see what a creature's properties are, there would definitely be checks to see what a class's features are. The checks might not be mentioned specifically in the books, but there does need to be a separation of character knowledge and player knowledge or...

I don't see anything in the skill description to explicitly indicate whether it's a certain way, other than the fact that it says having the creature perform an attack is a move action. Compare to the Spiritual Weapon description which does say it continues attacking. Admittedly, it is a bit...

Perhaps it could be said that the players don't want there to be anything interesting in the desert right now, or in the future, that affects their goals in the city. They don't know whether something was interesting in it, but they don't want complications from it screwing with them getting to...

As mentioned before, players can and do screw up those kinds of things. It would be nice to expect them to fully prepare for such instances, but let's face it: Not everyone is going to be that involved. Hopefully the DM would be able to nudge them towards being better prepared, but eventually...

Considering he specifically said "if the owner is not riding it, but still wants it to attack in combat" there wouldn't be a ride check. The DC 20 Handle Animal check works to train the animal to attack, and then the Handle Animal rules state that to get an animal that isn't a companion to...

1: Keep in mind that players can and do screw up with regards to preparations, among other things. They did not deliberately want to interact with the desert partly because they likely didn't know it existed in the first place, and they couldn't have known it would drop them there until it...

I'll likewise be doing a numbered list for this: 1: I expect this to not only differ from table to table, but to differ between people and maybe even differ for an individual depending on circumstances. For example, I've been told I'm probably too patient for my own good (and learning how to...

I started off with 3.5. I had of course heard about D&D before even 3.0 came out, but I never actually played it until my high school friends pulled out the core books and we started playing a bit. I'm inclined to stick with it as my primary D&D mode because it seems to have the most support...

It was more on what the definition of "trolling" was than whether you were actually doing it. It doesn't have a concrete definition, or if it does it's still up for interpretation in some cases. I can see why @Nezkrul might think that way since you continued to state your side even after he...

The nomads having divinations was an example that I came up with off the top of my head. It was not the example though, nor would I claim it ever would be the definitive one because there are simply so many possibilities that it's quite obvious it's not the only one that could be appropriate...

The problem now is you're pretty much saying he can't have those contingencies because you don't agree with the interpretation of how that specific item creation feat works. Until such time as the two of you do agree to resolve it (and only one of you has at the time of this posting) then...

I used the wrong words I think. The characters and/or players may not be able to observe the exact changes happening to the city because of the siege, but it's very easy to tell that something is happening to it. A siege doesn't tend to happen unless it's making changes after all. One of the...

Dandu's interpretation isn't that a Warlock "knows" every spell, but can emulate any spell for magic item crafting as per the Imbue Item class feature. Keep in mind other item creation feats (like Craft Wand) also have the wording "You can create a wand of any 4th-level or lower spell that you...

I think the point with glaive is it doesn't require a special class to make it good in the first place. Some of what your class does is already covered by EG, and as noted you've gone beyond some of EG's stuff. Though I would say it needs some clarification on how the smeg it works. With...

Don't forget Frenzied Berserker. While we're speaking of Hideous Blow versus Eldritch Glaive, let's compare them: Eldritch Glaive and Hideous Blow both trigger AoOs. The difference is EG likely won't trigger it from the target you're actually attacking because you get reach from it. EG wins...

So far we've gotten no indication from Hussar (as far as I can tell, and I'm not about to go through the whole thread again at this point) to determine what exactly was the goal other than "the city." So the only thing I think I can say to that is "There's a siege on the city, and since 'the...

Practiced Invoker is a feat I'd certainly allow in any games I'd run. Admittedly though, I'd change some things about the warlock class since it trails behind the Dragonfire Adept a bit. Dodge, assuming it's +1 against everything, is something that's moderately useful enough that making it a...
