    Specific Magical Armor Prices and Costs

    I am a bit confused about the prices (gp) and costs (gp & XP) to craft of some specific magic items, e.g. armors. One example how it should work (IMHO): Rhino Hide Price to buy: 5,165gp Cost to craft: 2,665gp+200XP This makes sense, since the price for one masterwork hide armor is 165gp, hence...

    Improved Trip maneuvers

    I was just thinking of two more extraordinary maneuvers. Do you think they work: 1: Character has Improved Trip and Quick Draw feats and BAB 11. - Stand 10ft. from opponent - Draw Whip (proficient) and make trip attack (bonus to Str check from IT feat). Assume successful. - Drop Whip - Make...

    Indirect Shooting

    Does anyone have game mechanics for indirect shooting of arrows and bolts? I.e. a good archer wants to hit a subject standing behind an invisible wall by shooting in a curve over the wall.

    Simple Question about Haste

    A spellcaster casts Haste on himself. Does he get the extra partial action immediately or does he have to wait until his next round?

    Shuriken Attack and Damage

    Some questions:[list=1]How many attack rolls are done: 1 or 3? How often is bonus damage (point blank shot, weapon specialization, inspire courage, favored enemy, etc.) added? Once each attack or to each shuriken. I suppose one does not need quick draw for throwing 3 shurikens, but one needs...

    Can a hasted Wizard fight defensively, etc. and still cast a spell

    A hasted Wizard stands close to a battle ground, suddenly several archers start shooting at him. On his action, he wants to increase his AC. Can he ... [list=1] ... fight defensively on his regular action and then cast a spell with his extra partial action? If yes, does he have to perform some...

    Ever player the bad guys?

    I'm interested: Has anyone played a campaign on the evil side? The group is evil, perhaps one chaotic neutral person. You are ordered by a devil or something similar. You kill people and raze villages for fun. You are chased by the king's armies over the whole land. You become richer and...

    Sculpt Sound

    1. The spell Sculpt Sound has a saving throw: Will negates (Object) I am not sure about the description in the PHB about this. If a Bard casts Sculpt Sound on a spellcaster to make him snore like a pig, does the spellcaster get a saving throw or not? 2. Can you use Sculpt Sound to make your...

    Ranger as Archer instead of Melee Fighter

    I'm playing a Ranger who has 1. Point Blank Shot 2. Rapid Shot instead of Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting as virtual feats. Who else has been playing with similar rules? What do you think about it (underpowered, overpowered, ?) And even more interesting: Which second feat would be the...

    How do you play Dominate Person?

    If a PC casts Dominate Person successfully on an NPC enemy sorcerer, how do you play this? - Can the player (as long as he can keep control) play two characters now or is the control weaker (if yes, in which instances)? - What does the player get to know about the NPC? Everything? His current...

    Some Questions on Disguise

    Some questions to all who have already rollplayed with the Disguise skill: 1. How many Disguise checks are made? The PHB says: 'Make one Disguise check even if several people make Spot checks.' So there is one and only one check - rolled by the GM - which determines how good the disguise you...

    Disguise's synergy bonus on Bluff

    Isn't the synergy bonus that Disguise gives on Bluff a little odd? 'What, you don't believe me? Perhaps you believe me if I wear this moustache?'

    Hypnotize & Suggestion Spell

    The description of the Hypnotize spell says that you can give a Suggestion? Does that mean:[list=1]You can cast a Suggestion spell on the subject? But can't you cast a Suggestion spell anyway? Does the Suggestion spell require the subject to be hypnotized first? You can cast a Suggestion spell...

    How does Bardic Music work?

    I have some technical questions about bardic music. Does anyone have more experience with this than I do? General: How long can a bard use a single use of bardic music? Can he e.g. keep on reciting a countersong (or inspire courage) for 5 hours while the party is travelling through a dangerous...

    Registration and Login

    I really like the new boards, but... I'm not reading messageboard since very long, so two minor things I've had problems with: (1) I read the registration instructions, but somehow missed the point that one cannot post unless having 'answered' the verification email. Maybe I've just missed that...
