Suppose my fighter encounters an ogre and we roll initiative. (Assume no surprise round.)My fighter wins the initiative, but decides to delay his initiative until after the ogre's turn. Is my fighter considered flat-footed if the ogre decides to attack me on this turn?

When fighting with two weapons a Tempest gains a +1 shield bonus at 1st level, +2 at 3rd and +3 at 5th. If one of those weapons happens to be a shield (and assuming the character has the improved shield bash feat), does the Tempest add this class shield bonus to the AC bonus already provided by...

Disarm, Step 2: Opposed Rolls. You and the defender make opposed ATTACK ROLLS with your respective weapons. So, if I'm the defender and I happen to be fighting defensively (-4 to attack), I am easier to disarm than if I hadn't been fighting defensively? What is the logic behind this? Shouldn't...

This has probably come up before, but I thought I'd ask anyways. Would you allow an archmage to use 'mastery of shaping' in combination with an antimagic field? I love the idea of creating spaces within a spell's area that are immune to the spell's effect, but the idea of a shapeshifting wizard...

Should a spellcaster with the Vow of Poverty feat be allowed to cast Mord's Magnificent Mansion and other such spells that allow a 'free' life of virtual luxury? Would such a character loose his/her VoP benefits for doing such things?

I'm playing my first epic level character and am considering taking the Epic Spellcasting feat in the near future. My character is now a Sorcerer 4/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 10/Mystic Theurge 5 (a little slow to develop in the early levels, but his versatility has really payed off thus far in...

From Sorcerer description: At each new sorcerer level, he gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table: Sorcerer Spells Known. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a sorcerer knows is not affected by his Charisma score; the numbers on Table: Sorcerer Spells Known are fixed.) These...

I just noticed something that, to me, is rather perplexing. Many prestige classes allow you to advance your spell-caster level in an existing class, and give you the rules on how to do so under the 'Spells per Day' description offered. Some of these classes instead give you a 'Spells per...

Awhile back, there was a poll asking what 9th level spells a wizard should most likely prepare on any given day. I found this poll quite interesting, but ultimately somewhat predictable. Shapechange, Timestop, Wish, Mage's Disjunction, and Gate all seemed to be obvious favorites to me, and I was...

If an epic Bard has this feat, Spell Knowledge, does he/she have the option of choosing his/her two new spells known from the sorcerer/wizard lists? Similar question for warmages. Could an epic Warmage choose any two ninth level wizard/sorcerer spells (shapechange, timestop for example)? SPELL...

If I have a multiclassed barbarian scout (human) who has Fast Movement +10 from both classes, do these bonuses stack or not? Does this human have a speed of 50 or 40?

I was just wondering what everyone thinks of this prestige class, called Citadel Elite, found in Sharn:City of towers (page 164). Do you think the Combat Sense abilities are too powerful, given the bonus feats and other abilities this class also gives you?

How about this as a feat? Shifting Grip Prereq: Two-Weapon Fighting, Weapon Focus (Glaive, Guisarme, Longspear, or Ranseur), Intelligence 13+ Once per round, at the beginning of your turn, you may shift your grip on your weapon of focus (glve, guis, lngspr, or rnseur), changing its function...

If you use a spring attack against a foe using Karmic Strike, do you still provoke a attack of opportunity if you hit?

I understand how a Kensai's Signature Weapon ability works on Masterwork weapons, but I'm a little confused on how it works with weapons that are already magical. For example, a 3th level kensai wishes to make a +2 longsword his signature weapon. Can he spend the appropriate xp price and add a...

I'm designing a prestige class for my campaign world called "Iletheral Guard" that is similar to a Devoted Defender who specializes in a particular weapon. Instead of giving them Weapon Specialization with their weapon of focus, I wanted to give them something more unique called Mighty Weapon...

TEMPEST (or DUAL-WEILDER) Requirements => Base Attack +6 Skills: Tumble (3 ranks), Balance (3 ranks) Feats: Combat Reflexes, Dodge, Mobility, Two-Weapon Defense, Two-Weapon Fighting Ability...

A succesful feint means your foe is not allowed a dex bonus to armor class when you attack. My question is does this overcome a barbarian/rogue's uncanny dodge ability?

In the new 3.5 rules it says that the Improved Critical feat does not stack with the Keen effect, so does that mean a character with the IC feat and a keen longsword has a threat range of 17-20 instead of 15-20 like in the previous rules? It seems wrong that you can't combine the effects. I...

It says in the player's handbook that you can use Two Weapon Defense in conjunction with a double weapon, but the listings for Improved TW Defense and Greater TW Defense in Complete Warrior specify two weapon use and say nothing about double weapons. Does this mean you can't use these feats in...
