I posted the same question on the Wotc boards What is your opinion on the combat facing rule variant in UA? Is it worth trying? Doesn't it slows combat too much? Thanks in advance for your answers

Hi y'all Havent bought Heroes of horror yet... In the excerpts somewhere on the Wotc site, "the behavioral Alignment variant" was mentioned. I'am intrigued, could someone who as access to HoH give me just a bit of info on this variant. Is it a new approach to alignment? Is it taint...

I agree; either your PC knows the info or he doesn't and, IMHO, only a die roll can determine that. I'm not at ease with the idea that simply by taking 10 (in a non stressful situation of course) a PC with a Knowlegde score of 10 can answer absolutely every question in his field of study with a...

You're right I got those two mixed up thanks :)

Hi y'all :) Can you take 10 on a knowledge skill check? I thought you couldn't but I can't seem to find a "proof" of this anywhere. Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply I was aware of that :) What I meant was making a rushed intimidate check (as a full round action) to treat the target as "friendly" which, IMHO, has much more potential than simply demoralizing it.

I was wonderin... Would it be possible to change the behavior of several enemies with one intimidate check (or for that matter with one Diplomacy check ?) Like for instance, could a barbarian demoralize a group of kobolds with a single intimidate check? In my searches, I've read somewhere (a...

Like Silveras said It's not just save or run away. And to make this rule PC friendly, I'm thinking of lowering the "you make a morale save once you reach half your total HP" condition to one quarter. There's also another aspect of this rule which is, IMHO, very interesting: rally checks can...

Wouldn't a +5 bonus to morale save be more appropriate in these situations? I don't know maybe I'm wrong but a creature, even if attacked in its lair, could be tempted to take a hike (against ovewhelming odds that is)

Is anyone using morale saves (from heroes of battle) in their game? I was thinking of using morale saves in my new campaign but I'm not sure if they would fit well in a non-war setting. I'd sure like some feedback Thanx in advance

It just hit me! It is as simple as that. Guess it was the "total cover" part of the description that confused me :confused: Thanx!

The SRD states this about "attacks from land" in its underwater combat section Does that mean that spells casted from land still have line of effect to a submerged target even though it has total cover? The spellcaster wouldn't be able to cast magic missile or lightning bolt (or any fire...

But wouldn't the spell roll variant give a "new life" to those low level spells who tend IMHO to be completely useless for high level characters?

Thank you all for your replies. Finally, I don't think I'm gonna use that variant. Like some of you said, it's going to become to much dice rolling (at higher level that is). To avoid this, the DMG suggests that every character should roll their AC only once each round but somehow, IMHO, it...

I was wondering if anyone uses the "Defense Roll" rule variant found in the DMG (p25)? (Each time you're attacked your roll a d20 (+ bonuses) to determine your armor class) It looks promising but before using it, I'd sure like some feedback. Thanx in advance :)

I was wondering the same thing :\ Crystal Keep is one of the best ressource site I've found. I sure hope they'll keep updating those amazing index files :)
