    Power Attack, Weapon Finesse, and Lances

    I love how much pissing and moaning that one sentences caused :) For the record I would like to note that I only implied that it resembled a traditional spear which is a 4-6 foot wooden weapon with a sharp bit on the end normally made of metal or stone, not that they were interchangeable. Just...

    Power Attack, Weapon Finesse, and Lances

    PA can be used with a lance. I don’t see any reason in the world why a Knight could not use his own strength to deal more damage. A lance is basically a one handed spear you use while mounted… should work just the same. Also I personally interrupt Spirited Charge as the mount doing the extra...

    Area spells and evasion in closed rooms

    And you should only take away class defining abilities in extreme situations. I would not classify that as an extreme. However, in the past I have increased the save DC by 2 in situations that I felt warranted it… but that can be a slippery slop. To use your example the room would have to be...

    Stat block for Amon?

    Anyone know of a stat block for Amon in 3.5 or 3.0? A duke in hell.

    Vanguard:SOH

    At that time I was barley playing… just happened to do a lot of the AQ40 raids. I never even took any loot from AQ because I knew I would not be on much, but previous to that I was hardcore, 3-5 nights a week 3-5 hours a night can really burn someone out. And getting old and getting a job does...

    Vanguard:SOH

    Yep. I also had a high end WoW character as well (when I left we had just taken down twin emps if that means anything to you)... so I do have some perspective. Not that I had much time invested. That character only had 25 days played. My EQ1 rogue had almost 300 days played when I quite…...

    Vanguard:SOH

    I'll let you know :) I have to disagree about that. From beta 2 to beta 5 I, personally, felt like I could accomplish something in an hour. Sometimes that was crafting, sometimes that was harvesting, sometimes that was adventuring/quests. To me this is a personality issue not a game issue...

    Vanguard:SOH

    I think it also depends on what the definition is "IS is" hehe. If you just single out the customization at the character creation screen then I would say CoH is about equal. But when you take into account all the in game customization then Vanguard is above CoH by a great deal. It is kind of...

    Vanguard:SOH

    Yea. I did not wait with WoW or EQ or DoC... and I was sorry I didn't. Eventually you learn :)

    Vanguard:SOH

    I created this tread to give people that were not familiar with Vanguard in any way a chance to see the link and explore the game on their own. Most people have heard of WoW and thus it is a good thing to mention so that people have some basic understanding and a reference. It is like saying...

    Vanguard:SOH

    Yep. I am a bit worried as well. Which is why I am taking a vacation from Vanguard right this sec (after playing it for 9 months or so I was do one anyway). I am going to log on two weeks after release… as playing a half dozen MMO’s and with none of them every getting the launch right I have...

    Vanguard:SOH

    No corpse run unless you WANT to run for it. In fact I find the death medigation to be much less sever than in high level raid in WoW. As for the 2GB of RAM… I would not recommend playing Vanguard with less than 2GB… but then I would not recommend playing WoW or any other MMO game with less.

    Vanguard:SOH

    Err... honestly that was not a dig at WoW. WoW is a great game. GREAT. Like most great games it is very simple... and elegant. However it IS simple… if someone is looking for something ‘more’ Vanguard is a good place to look. And Yes. I am sure. Why do you ask?

    Vanguard:SOH

    Just a plug for my new MMORPG of choice. If you have not looked at Vanguard: Saga of Heroes much… you should. Over the last year of bate testing it I think it has really turned into a fun game and a great deal of depth. If your looking for something more than WoW has to offer and don’t want...

    Three quick questions that came up this weekend.

    Can you smite while raging? The gnomish Barbarian/Devine Champion was trying to… I let it go but wanted to ask. Can you use two meta magic rods on the same spell? One “rod” is in ring from (quickening) and the other is a rod of empowering. I let her do it but it seemed a bit too powerful...

    Uncanny Dodge - Flatfooted vs. Denied Dex to AC

    Yep. That is how we use it in our game, I honestly don’t see how you can interpreted it any other way without changing the text. The rogue basically has to flank the barbarian or no sneak attack. However, we do count blind as invisible… but that is a house rule. Now as for being ‘to good’ we...
