    Hide and how it works

    So that would mean that if my party engaged the enemy while I was hidden, my first shot counts as if I was invisible? and then I could make another hide check -20 to stay hidden?

    Hide and how it works

    Is the stuff from the RC about Hide anywhere on the net? I don't particularly want to buy the book just for that, and I haven't been able ot find it yet.

    Hide and how it works

    How exactly does hide work? I'm playing an archer in my current campaign, and I've read a bunch of stuff about how hidden creatures basically act as if they are invisible. By RAW, how does hide work with attacking people? If I'm hidden and attack someone, are they flat-footed, regardless of...

    Adjusting CR for groups of monsters?

    You're missing a key part to that system though, which is how the Encounter Level compares to the Party Level, and what the difference means. A group of 4 ECL 6 PCs means a party level of 6. 2 CR 4s is an encounter level of 6, which is deemed "Challenging", aka supposed to be 50% of the...

    Wildshaping Options

    A friend took leadership, and got a druid as a cohort. The druid is 5th level, so so far can only go small and medium. Are there any animals besides 3 hit dice animals out there that he can wildshape to? I've been trying to find a list of all monsters with the animal subtype, and having a very...

    MIC - Broken?

    Bot how does it affect CR? If the entire party is running around with Healing Belts, for example, it takes a dangerous fight down to a reasonable one. The CRs of monsters take into account the old cost of magic items, so having cheaper, more useful items should throw the numbers out of...

    MIC - Broken?

    I've been going through the Magic Item Compendium, and there are items after items that don't even come close to the old formulas. I'm in 2 seperate campaigns, and both DMs have said no to using anything from it due to it being overpowered. Not having DMed before, I figured I'd ask here. Are...

    Daggers are AWESOME!

    In terms of the Ring of Blinking, is there any way to avoid your own 20% miss chance?

    Speaking of healing belt...

    ...what are the other "bang for your buck" magic items? I'm in a relatively low loot/money campaign at the moment, so we have to be very smart with our money. Does anyone know of any other items like the healing belt that have a high value compared to their price?

    Help me build an NPC Wizard

    I don't think downloadable, but you should be able to print it off the website. I'll tinker with it and repost in a little while. EDIT: any better? http://www.campaign-blog.com/view.php?id=6522

    why not getting rid of coup de grace?

    Explain to me then why the current rule is better than any of the following: 1) CdG is made, DC 10 + dmg dealt. Failed save moves the character to -1 HP 2) CdG is made, DC 10 + dmg dealt. Failed save moves the character to -9 HP 3) CdG is made, DC 10 + dmg dealt. Character moves to -10 HP...

    why not getting rid of coup de grace?

    I don't know if I agree with that. If, in the legal system, it worked 90% of the time, but 10% of the time there were really strange situations where people got screwed, they would change the laws in such a way that closer to 100% of the people worked with it, and the laws stayed more or less...

    Help me build an NPC Wizard

    http://www.campaign-blog.com/view.php?id=6522 Lvl 10 Wizard, I haven't done the spells yet, cause I didn't want to spend all the time if you didn't like the character. Also didn't make his cohort, which would be a level 7 character, maybe a plane-touched being for intrigue. If you like what...

    why not getting rid of coup de grace?

    Once again I'll refer you to the situation that just happened. Warblade character in Full Plate Mail gets a Hold Person cast on him. The other party tank is 10 feet from him, the rogue is 15 feet away, and the party healer is also 15 feet away. This is not a situation where "it's not like...

    why not getting rid of coup de grace?

    But you're just providing a reason why CdG is unnecessary - if you're going to die anyways while paralyzed, why have the special rule? I'll refer back to my case. A Hold Person successfully cast. I'm wearing full plate mail, and my party has just killed 12 of 16 people in 2 rounds. The enemy...

    why not getting rid of coup de grace?

    We got a new NPC today (playing Shackled City with only 3 people, so DM is allowing us 2 player-controlled NPCs), a level 7 Warblade. 94 HP, 13/8 for 2d6+9, 17-20 crit range, power attack, etc. The first encounter we hit, a cleric from the enemy party casts hold person on the Warblade. I roll a...

    New player controlled NPC needed

    I looked through the class, it's interesting, but I'm worried a lot of it won't be too useful (looking to make a 2-handed weapon using guy, so shield stuff isn't too useful), Mounted Combat won't come up much (if at all), and Armor Mastery doesn't matter much for a Dwarf. We're basically...

    New player controlled NPC needed

    So our current NPC died after taking 7 rays from some 7-headed beast, and the DM is allowing us to remake him, though a level below the party average (aka 7 instead of 8). We're looking to make a tank character, basically high hit points and high damage (we already have an AC monkey tank) We...

    Maneuver: Flashing Sun

    Well that's lame. Thanks for the quick reply :)

    Maneuver: Flashing Sun

    Allows you to make an extra melee attack if you're making a full round attack. However, it says "All the attacks you make this round, including the extra attack granted by this maneuver, are made with a -2 penalty" So, if my lvl 6 rogue with two weapon fighting has an attack bonus with his...
