For all you guys trying to give out +2 for charging -- I would tend to be careful with that, as it seems like it would be encroaching on the Swashbuckler's acrobatic charge. This is the perfect thing for a swashbuckler to do, though. Higher ground, sure. Deny flanking if you think the wizard's...

The most evil thing a DM has ever done to me was cast darkness on a pebble and then teleport w/o error it into one of our party's pocket. The point though, is that if your'e casting darkness, you typically will not be hindered by giving your opponent concealment. Because most of the time you...

Hmm. What's a Large bastard sword roll for damage? Taking exotic proficiency: bastard sword + letter-of-the-3.5-law monkey grip is better than monkey gripping either a medium greatsword or a large longsword (depending on whether or not you interpret the 3.5 wording of monkey grip beyond the...

And honestly, that's the way prestige classes should function. The most effective (thematically) prestige classes are ones that typically should not be planned for. Ones that require an invitation into an Order, ones that require slaying a certain beast, etc. I think prestige classes work much...

To be honest, if you're gonna strip ranger of spells, save yourself a lot of grief and omit it entirely in favor of the scout ala Complete Adventurer. The skirmishing is an interesting mechanic, and if you make favored enemies a feat, a spellless ranger can be duplicated easily with a fighter...

Saeviomagy has the guidelines I tend to use down. In addition, with hard-to-kill things like trolls, there are a few more factors I'd consider. A) Does the troll really need to die, or just be out of the way long enough for them to pass/do what they need to do? If it's a one-time obstacle, and...

Currently one. If my work schedule wasn't an annoying rotating shift, it'd be two or three for sure. As it is, I pretty much have to play with a group who can schedule around my work schedule, which basically relegates it to biweekly if we want to keep it on one day of the week, which stinks. I...

Well of course they don't see themselves as drag queens. But the rest of the world would.

Damn. So yet again I was beaten to an idea. This time, to the drag race. *sigh*

I sense much potential for a race for a silly/goofy game. A race whose culture is entirely full of cross-dressers.

People I game with I typically develop friendships with, though they don't always necessarily extend to extensive interactions beyond a gaming context. I wouldn't expect all my friends to be conducive to a particular campaign, though. So no, I don't think you're in the wrong or that you're...

What were the circumstances surrounding this character's death?

Which is a valid argument, but I find it to be somewhat narrow. The argument is, essentially, that the range itself affords greater damage potential if you use it properly by initiating combat at a good range, while archery suffers in more closed environments. The shortcoming I find in that...

Darn. I knew it was too good to be true. So, wait, does this quirk of manyshot mean that it doesn't qualify as an attack for skirmish, then, too? Skirmish calls for an attack to add dice to. Thanks, KerlanRayne, I'll check that out.

Egres posted an excellent summary of the options available to such a character. Basically, Manyshot is the inferior option provided you don't have special circumstances which limit you to a standard action. Rapid shot actually gains you an extra arrow (and one that's likely to hit, to boot)...

Does the ogre have levels in hulking hurler? Now THAT would be comedic. This is turning into quite the awesome encounter.

Technically, leaded glass alone doesn't magnify anything. A flat sheet of leaded glass has no magnificative properties. A lens of a given shape (including improvised lenses like drinking glasses) will have stronger magnification properties if the glass is leaded. This is because leaded glass...

fett, a quirky side-effect of your absence (and you were missed), Bomblast is the only member of the crew to step foot on the boat! Of course, we worry that there may not be much of a boat left by the time we get back...

ashockney, I'll flip through my book and check a few things, and then be back with more detailed feedback and suggestions. Just from the feel of play though, I really liked the system, and think that with some tweaking on the characters it could have been a bit more epic (trading blows back and...

But what if you used some really outstanding compression algorithms? :p
