If you're talking about the second EXTRA attack, then I'm inclined to agree with you, but that second extra attack is only granted if you drop the second guy in one blow with the attack granted you by Cleave. Otherwise, you're done for that round.

I always thought that a straight-on summoner would be cool. Someone whose main power involves calling up powerful monsters from other worlds in order to tear you a new one. Who needs fireballs or magic missiles? In fact, as mmadsen pointed out in the Little Changes with Big Flavor thread, you...

Iuz probably wouldn't last in a battle with the Saint, as a lesser god is more powerful than a demigod. And if Iuz tries stuff like bringing demonic or undead help for the fight, St. Cuthbert is well within his rights to do the same with angels and lawful creatures.

Basically, the only way that one should get a crit on something normally un-crittable (is that even a friggin' word?) is if the character has learned how the creature can best be killed or destroyed -- for example, the stake in the heart for taking out a vampire.

Basically, the extra attacks the Cleave feats give you represent the follow-through on your first attack, as more guys get caught in the swing-arc of your weapon. If it's a piercing weapon like a spear or a rapier, it means that not only did you skewer one guy, but you also got several more guys...

This is the way I understand how the "cleave" thing works: Make an attack and drop opponent with one blow. Cleave time. Next attack is on a second adjacent foe. If you just have Cleave, that's as far as you go, regardless of whether or not you drop the second foe with one blow. Great Cleave...

I believe 3E has the Overrun action (pg 139), which allows a character to bring down an opponent one size category larger than you or smaller with a charge action, though the character does provoke an AoO while doing so. Quite useful for hordes of goblins overrunning a party of Medium creatures...

ENWorld and RPGNet for me.

Don't currently have Urban Arcana If it's still available at the FLGS, I might pick it up.

I loved the web enhancement for the DMG, the city enhancement that divides a city into a number of identifiable districts. I can definitely plan the layout of a city quite easily using this info, which is pretty damn impressive considering that I'm from a small town and have little experience...

If I'm not mistaken, rules for guns are in the DMG. In my copy of the 3E DMG, they're on pages 162-163. Dunno about 3.5 though, as I didn't shell out for that edition.

That's what I mainly thought too. I figure that Improved Two-Weapon Fighting (the one that allows you to use a melee weapon and a ranged weapon at once rather than using one at a time) would be useful for, say, slicing up one guy with the sword while blasting another guy with the Python during...

I love this idea! Maybe certain characters with certain backgrounds would attract certain genre stories, much like the characters of Cowboy Bebop. For example, if one character has a sorcerous enemy that likes to deal with Things That Should Not Be, that could be the subject of a horror...

Oh man...so the vampire whipped the chain around her in mid-air (ouch!), yanked her into claw range for some nasty work (double ouch!), and then unwound the chain and sent her spinning to the ground (triple ouch!). At least, that's the visual I got of what the guy did. And the dual-wielding...

I only know one country "devil" song off the top of my head, and that is "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band. The Devil's words are in red, and Johnny's words are in blue. Here ya go: The Devil went down to Georgia, he was lookin’ for a soul to steal, And he was in a...

Another one from Willow: An Evil Overlord is rounding up all the pregnant women of the realm because a prophecy dictates that a first-born child with a special mark will be the key to his downfall, and the Evil Overlord wants to destroy the child as a threat to his rule. One of the midwives...

If you're throwing the PCs up against powerful monsters without the help of magic or magic items, it is imperative that these monsters have some kind of weakness that the PCs can discover and exploit. I believe mmadsen's Little Changes with Big Flavor thread mentioned this as one of the first...

Bets are always popular. The way you generally do this is make a bet to someone for a goodly sum of money that you can make someone else make an ass of himself or do something uncharacteristic, and then go to that person and make another bet for a lesser sum that you lose, but in the process of...

Your homeland has been taken over by an evil empire. Magic is outlawed, and those who practice it are burned at the stake, Inquisition-style. It is up to you and your plucky band of adventurers to travel the world in search of allies and lost magic tomes, sabotage attempts by the empire to...

I agree with Mustrum_Ridicully. A guy willing to kill anyone just for the sake of money is not a guy that I would want to hang around with. I mean sure, he may be a decent guy when not on the job, but when he accepts a contract on someone, an assassin can be one of the most cold and ruthless...
