    Move Silently while Tumbling?

    Hmm, well first of all, I'm not sure I agree that a listen check pinpoints the exact 5' square of an invisible foe. Maybe if they are really close by, but what if they were 150' away from you? I don't think so. I will have to check the DMG on that rule unless someone else would like to post...

    Epic Rogues

    Actually... Epic Rogues make out better than their multiclassed cohorts. Why? Because at least they can take advantage of True Strike and do +12d6 damage once per round (you're hasted right?). The fighter/rogue trying this tactic only gets about half of this damage. Or, you can use Seeker...

    Move Silently while Tumbling?

    If you can't see someone (full concealment...total darkness, invisibility, etc.) AT ALL, then you won't notice most/all activities that normally trigger AoO's, right? In this case, the snake "sees" you because of his Scent ability. Most of the time though, this isn't the case. If you can't...

    How does your group divide up the treasure?

    Hmmm. There are tons of ways to do this. If you have a nice friendly bunch, you can divvy things up on a need-before-greed basis. However, this option poses problems at times when nice items appear or when multiple people are fairly equal in their need of an item. Here's how we do it. Gold...

    Tumble and movement

    It's in the 'Retry' section...I think.

    Blindsight vs. Displacement?

    Exactly. Thanks for saving me time.:D

    Ring of force (shield ring)

    It doesn't answer your question, but a better way to increase the 2-handed wielder's AC is to buy an Animated Shield. That's a +3 right there, and you can enchant it higher. More ontopic, I'd let the guy use it's AC benefit for the entire round. However, monks can't use the ring at all, lest...

    [Magic Item] Thumb Ring of Might

    Oh, I agree on that point, but Bull's Strength? Nope. I prefer the Ironwood (thanks to the poster who suggested it) suggestion over yours, no offense.:D Now, we're talking a caster level of 11 instead of 3. I'd say this ring is worth less than a ring of blinking for sure. I'd say a fair...

    [Magic Item] Thumb Ring of Might

    Hmm. Does anyone else think it's a little strange to allow a ring made with bull's strength to alter the molecular structure of a bow so that it can be shot with more power by those with the strength to do so? No one replied to my earlier post, so I'm thinking I must be in the minority here...

    [Magic Item] Thumb Ring of Might

    I agree with Karinsdad for the most part. The ability to pick up a normal, unmighty magical bow and suddenly be able to make it into a mighty bow is really powerful. In fact, it doesn't really sit well with me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but once bows are made, they are what they are. To do...

    Sneak Attacks on Rays

    Wow, I'm not sure what I said that should illicit this type of inflammatory, arrogant reply from you, but whatever. I'm talking about practically your entire reply, not the above. You need to calm down a little there dude and open your mind a bit apparently. My numbers don't lie either. [/b]...

    Sneak Attacks on Rays

    Uhh actually no. i never brought multiclassing into it. i was comparing a rogue using a wand of ray of frost at mid-level using UMD to a rogue with TWf or rapid shot against high armored characters. I wads doing this because more than one post had brought up the myth that TWf/RS and the...

    Sneak Attacks on Rays

    I still don't see the big deal with letting rays do sneak attack damage. Here's a few reasons why, some of which might've been covered already: 1. Undead. 2.Plant creatures. 3.Other rogues/assassins/barbarians. 4.Blur. 5.Displacement. 6.Can't reach a vital area. 7.Spell Resistance (yeah, that...

    Tumbling around Corners

    First of all, a ruleslawyer should know that rogue is not spelled t-h-i-e-f.:p:D Second, unless you are incorporeal, you WILL be forced to go through the enemy's square. I am assuming that corner took up the entire 5' square. I think the DM made a good call.

    ways to increase BAB other other than leveling

    Actually, yes, I missed your last post, amidst the flames in this thread. But now that I read it, it wouldn't have changed my post. BAB is definitely NOT an innate bonus. BAB comes from the training from your class. If it was innate, then some wizards would get the bab as a fighter, simply...

    ways to increase BAB other other than leveling

    I have yet to see anyone reply to myself and several other posters who have asked how in the world one could word a wish without metagaming in order to gain a bab +1. Consider that a challenge.:D Wishing for 1 more attack would not do it, as that would be metagaming...so you just happened to...

    [ELH feat] Shoot Anything

    Re: Re: [ELH feat] Shoot Anything :D Yeah, with this feat, you can shoot enemies with a crystal ball. Just make sure the arrows are of a high enough enhancement bonus to penetrate the crystal ball.:D Also, you can shoot enemies that you see in your dreams or through hallucinations.

    Expert Tactician?

    He made at least 3 mistakes. IIRC, the feat states that it can only be used once per round. Also, it states that it has to be used at the beginning or end of your normal action, not in the middle somewhere. Also, when you successfully bluff someone, they are not immediately denied their dex...

    Quicker than the Eye and Potions of Glibness

    Monte Cook himself said that this game was balanced with the assumption that rogues could sneak attack ALL THE TIME. Check his message boards if you want...it's there somewhere in one of the "sneak attack is broken" threads. I'm just pointing this out because I know many folks respect his...

    Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes, Great Fortitude - can you take them more than once?

    I agree with the above. However, there are other feats that add to your saves and DO stack from FR. Strong Soul, Luck of Heroes, and some others I think.
