    Trip Attacks

    i believe halflings & gnomes are a martial weapon - so any good fighter can use them. however, you may want to look into dwarf wielding (since they're medium sized) - i think they are an exotic weapon.

    Great Cleave against illusions or figments

    this is why the Mirror Image spell is on total crack. when you cast it, "These figments separate from you and remain in a cluster, each within 5 feet of at least one other figment or you." so the question is, if you get the maximum 8 images (or more for being empowered, what happens to the foes...

    What happens to the Familiar?

    see p. 12 of Tome and Blood: Death of a Master. basically the familiar is treated as if the wizard/sorcerer was one level lower but without a master... so you might have an intelligent cat running around talking with other felines and spell resistance. if the master is brought back from the...

    Ring of Improved Invisibility [2002 Thread]

    when playing my rogue in 2e i often worried about being improved invisible with the ring on nondetection or dust of dissapearanced and dropping... however, Cones of Communication are a wonderful thing. "If you cant find me, just scream in here & find where the screaming is coming from!"

    The funniest encounter or moment in your campaign

    okay, both of these stories are from the game i used to run at GenCon every year (if you're bored look in old prereg books under 2e D&D Mafia Mania). 1) so pyro-klepto, the gnomish-thief (who is immune to fire - lucky him) gets separated from the rest of the party on his own dungeon level. the...

    A DM's main priority is...

    npc & pc relationship (first choice) my first priority: fun. the players should be laughing, crying, roleplaying with npcs, on the edge of their seats chanting "CRIT CRIT CRIT!!!" and just enjoying themselves. that to me is a good game.

    Point buy and humans vs other races?

    How many Free Actions per round?

    if they are a rogue, yes! :D (then again i have a soft spot for thieves) otherwise... they'd have to beg and id probably give in.

    How much damage?

    easy. the barbarian has his arms wrapped around the little mage, squeezing him. the mage's hands are pushed down by his side. in a pathetic attempt he tries extending his arms (to push the barbarian's arms out from around him). *shrugs* its rules. dont try to explain it in reality or you'll...

    Scorpion King: Verdict?

    ya, that totally threw me too! i thought this would be about the Scorpion King's horrible exile and him building his army to take over and then being consumed by the darkside... *sniff cry* however, it was still damn cool. damn writers probably did this so they could make a Scorpion King 2 and...

    I just lost my dice bag, and this is a serious financial loss

    a dice bag is a gamer's soul. i recall how "Dont touch my dice!!!" echoes through the gamer's bible, KoDT. a dicebag is a deeply emotional object... a storer of power, a bender of fate... these dice you have cultivated all these years determine whether you--- i mean your character, ya...

    How many Free Actions per round?

    p. 121 PHB under Free Action: "Free Actions consume a very small amount of time and effort... You can perform one or more free actions while taking another action normally. However, the DM puts reasonable limits on what you can really do for free..." hence, ask your DM. with quickdraw you can...

    Brillant energy and speed weapons

    1) brilliant energy rules. hence it will ignore Fortification Armor (since the armor virtually isnt there!) lesson: good for rogues. 2) speed gives you an extra attack when you attack. hence using it with spring attack would grant you two attacks instead of one. lesson: good for swashbucklers...

    RL stats

    str 9 int 13 wis 12 dex 13 con 9 chr 17 it's an interesting test. i would have given myself a higher strength (i lift weights) and a higher int and lowered my wisdom by a hell of a lot. i definitely have a penalty on will saves in reality.
