    coup de grace too powerful

    Any fighter worth his salt has Iron Will and hopefully another save booster. With all of those feats, if he's using all of them on offense, he deserves what he gets imo. Barbarians are another story, but that's where good party tactics come in. The Cleric and Wizard realize he's vulnerable...

    +5 Adamantine Armor Spikes of Defending

    Are you sure about that? If you don't attack with the offhand weapon (and therefore are not entitled to the defending power), why are you still incurring an off-hand penalty? If this is the case, holding a shield, spell component, or anything else in your offhand should incur penalties. More...

    What feats are ESSENTIAL

    Wau's right.:D Unless you are playing the exotic weapon master and are always switching weapons, weapon specialization just seems like an obvious choice. Then again, doesn't the ewm get ws for all exotic weapons at 5th level? Maybe it's just weapon focus...?

    +5 Adamantine Armor Spikes of Defending

    Adamantine weapons don't confer bonuses to AC, if that's what you are inferring. I think you have to be using the defending weapon to get its bonus. In the case of the TWF who is not taking a full attack action, I guess you wouldn't get the benefit of the defending weapon unless you attack...

    coup de grace too powerful

    You have to have a weapon to perform a cdg. Unarmed attacks won't cut it (literally) unless you are a monk (or have the right feat). All you need is a pair of gauntlets though. Dude, sounds like you died because of stupid actions from certain players and a misinformed DM than because of cdg...

    2-Weapon Fighting vs. 1-Weapon Fighting

    Ok, I see what you did now. You have the bonuses correct. So, since he has two swords, +1 and +2, give the other guy a +2 greatsword and some +2 armor to balance out. Get the cleric to cast Bull's Strength on him in the morning, boosting his AC up to a possible 24 (assuming 19 Strength at 4th...

    2-Weapon Fighting vs. 1-Weapon Fighting

    First of all, you have the bonuses wrong, which is part of the problem. If you are dual wielding bastard swords, here is your total penalty, assuming you have Ambidexterity and Two-weapon fighting, is -4 to all attacks because he is using an offhand weapon that is not light. Also, weapon focus...

    Close Quarters Fighting (General Feat)

    :o My goodness, I have no idea why I thought that. For some odd reason, I SWORE (so righteously as to not even need to reread the feat:D) it said you could only use the feat once per round. I've said this in at least 3 other CQF threads, and this is the first time someone pointed out my...

    Please rate the Dirty Fighting feat

    Oooooo...now that's dirty! I like it!:D

    Close Quarters Fighting (General Feat)

    Not a bad feat, but it doesn't help against that second bear claw, or the third (or fourth) from the Lava Child coming in to flank you. They should have an Improved CQF feat with Combat Reflexes as a prereq. that allows you to make use of the feat as many times per round as you have AoO's left...

    Munchkin bashing [rant]

    That's easy, DraMunchQueens!:D I played with one guy who changed his stats around so he could be less powerful.:D His Paladin had an 18 cha, and he dumped his 4th highest stat in strength. Gimme a break. I see the 18 Charisma obviously, but the 11 Strength? When he has a few 14's or 15's to...

    Munchkin bashing [rant]

    I like Drama-Queens much better as a derogative word. We really need something that insults as well as munchkin. However, that just makes us as bad as the snotty, better-than-thou-art drama queens who *think* they are better than everyone else. In a perfect fantasy world, we could throw all...

    What is the lowest level smackdown?

    [/b] Well, that wasn't my goal. You are obviously a sensitive guy, which I can appreciate, since I am too.:D You are taking this WAY too personally, and making incorrect assumptions about my motives. [/b] Because unless you are completely undetectable, the dragon has a chance to spot you...

    What is the lowest level smackdown?

    Your pc would be dead if you tried this against a dragon, for reasons below. It's much more effective against other foes, but there are still a few errors. [/b] No, I would give the dragon a new spot check since you are within 5' of him and he has blind sight, making your invisibility...

    True Strike and Invisibility question

    Well, that's just what I thought. Why not just post his response on here? Many people do this...

    Rogue with BAB 6/1 get 2 Sneak Attacks with Full Attack Action?

    No, that feat only renders your foe flat-footed vs. your NEXT attack only, not for an entire round. Plus, once you consider how low the rogue's bab is to a fighter's, and the high AC of creature at this level, the rogue probably has a low/no chance of hitting on his later attacks. Let's see...

    Monks - feats and flurry of blows?

    Re: Re: Re: High dex, con, wis instead of STR They also don't wear armor and can be really screwed if caught flat-footed with a high dex, medium wis. Wisdom also boosts stunning, quivering palm DC. Improved Evasion lets them always take half damage vs. reflex saves vs. area spells. Monks...

    4th lvl. smackdown?

    not! [/b] Completely mistaken?:eek: Sounds like shurikens to me. The Sage has ruled that shurikens and spells that give multiple attacks (i.e. Acid Orb, Flame Arrow, etc.) only deal sneak attack damage on the first attack roll. I see absolutely no reason the crescent knife should be...

    Monks - feats and flurry of blows?

    Re: High dex, con, wis instead of STR If you chose a higher dex over wisdom, then you made a mistake imo.

    Monks - feats and flurry of blows?

    but not as important as wisdom and dexterity imo. Heck, I'd be tempted to put Con higher than Str too.
