First, I've always hated the idea of extended casting times for the spontaneous casters using metamagic. I'll make that clear now. Second: our group has never used extended casting times with either metamagic rods or augmented casting (I am currently playing a an UM) Third: If you were...

I question whether or not you would have been better off just not using power attack, thus hitting more often, and getting higher average damage for those rounds overall.

Fairly certain Player's Option: Combat and Tactics had some.

The weilder/carrier of an attended item makes the save using their total bonus. From the SRD: (object): The spell can be cast on objects, which receive saving throws only if they are magical or if they are attended (held, worn, grasped, or the like) by a creature resisting the spell, in which...

The vast majority of the weapons can be broken down fairly easily, with only a few notable suggestions (already alluded to).

Runestaff. Suddenly those slots aren't wasted any more.

Until you compare him with a specialist or god forbid focused specialist wizard who has as many, or nearly as many spell slots, on odd levels has more powerful spells, access to far more variety of spells, bonus feats, and a more useful casting stat (as it also gives skill points). Then you...

Agreed. Giving one of the weaker classes in the game a bone now and then is no big deal.

Actually I believe IUD does mention sneak attack, but only in the context of it being a consequence of not being flanked.

I agree with both of the other posters. UD: Prevents losing dex when flatfooted. IUD: Prevents flanking. Neither of those factors in any way related to skirmish.

All the arcanists are the same in this case.

This. The craft rules just don't work. By basing things off of market price, it makes things that are merely made of rare, expensive materials take eons to craft, merely because of that rarity.

That is a logical fallacy. All A have the trait X. All A have the trait Y. B has the trait X. Based on this information only, we cannot logically conclude that B has any other traits than X. In our actual game text world, it is even simpler because any A or B only has the traits that a block...

Apologies, I misread what you were saying. I think we've had a couple similar conflicts in other threads, so I just assumed we would disagree again. :)

1) Nowhere does it say BA is an illusion. However, since True Seeing references "blur or displacement effects" separately from illusions, this isn't really an issue. TS will still beat it. 2) I disagree with you on EC. The only reason Blink has reduced miss chances is because it says so in...

So now you are not only suggesting a reading of the rules that infers something not specifically stated, but admitting that were you to infer that, it would have been a mistake on the part of the person writing it? So you agree with everyone who says it only refers to metal!

Anyone can wear armor they are not proficient with if they feel like it. "is made of dragonhide, rather than metal, so druids can wear it." It specifically references the lack of metal. How can this be read in any other way than to simply point out the fact that it doesn't break the druid...

There will never be a perfect way to evaluate monsters in a vacuum. Depending on lot on the makeup/tactics favored by the players and the party composition, lots of monsters (particularly with odd powers or vulnerabilities) will be much more or much less effective than expected. This is one of...

Also if your DM allows the unarmed swordsage variant, he may allow their unarmed attack advancement to stack with the monk, allowing some multiclassing options.

1. Yet many people still don't play them. Weird, huh? 2. Or they are useless, depending on what you are fighting. 3. Or they are useless, depending on what you are fighting. 4. Yes. Probably an even better option that blasting things, if they have competent warriors in the party. 5. Though...
