    Odd but legal?

    It wasn't one weapon fighting. There were always two weapons at hands. I have to say that I do understand that switch weapon point of view. And I would allow that in game. There are second weapon at hand. If specified that TWF is used and minuses taken, the rules allow changing the weapon.

    3) She doesn't know about it. After all she was unconcious when Shojo told Ray about that. The gate was an secret or at least the location. That is at least how I understood the situation. 4) Can't be done. The reason why throne was buld there that high from ground. 5) Can she turn to...

    OK, we have a problem [please read!]

    ... I still don't have CS account due to fact that I WON'T use paypal. So that reminder loses some effect. I am not the only one that won't deal with them. Well there always is RPGNow but with price $45 compared to about $19 something. This time I just can't afford to give money away like in...

    Creative Use of Low-level Magic.

    Isn't jumping person in free fall? It is only short one with plenty of forward momentum, but still. Sword blow means that sword is in hand giving power to hit. Charging is moving along the ground legs giving "extra" power. Flying creature either uses spell or wings to push itself forward. If I...

    That is good avice. This way you avoid encouraging ppl to break the law. As far as I remember local law here in Finland forbids sending cash in mail abroad. Money transfer as I understand it (within EU) is free of extra charges. It transfers money from one bank account to another one. It has...

    Why is archery the prefered combat style?

    Oh. That was the reason. I was wondering why my head was hurting. Hmmm.. and why it is better at the end? After all at the high point gravity has degreased the start spead to zero (kinetic energy has changed to potential energy) and at the end of arc (same height than start point) the potential...

    About initiative

    like you haven't give any rule answers what to do in those problems I pointed to you. They aren't. That opening the door can be a failure. And besided that is not an combat action because there is no combat - yet. Yes. Initiative is rolled on start of combat. If PCs do nothing on surprise...

    About initiative

    And I thought that you following the rules needs that specific thing to happen. And once again "you are not following the rules". "When a combat starts, if you are not aware of your opponents and they are aware of you, you’re surprised." What it has to do what DM desides? Doesn't the combat...

    About initiative

    But it is after combat starts and there is teleport error to place that does not have enemy was there any combat? Now you are inconsistent. What makes the casting of buff spells and teleport spells different if they are cast on place where NPCs can't detect them being cast. Or are you ruling...

    "When a combat starts, if you are not aware of your opponents and they are aware of you, you’re surprised." "If some but not all of the combatants are aware of their opponents, a surprise round happens before regular rounds begin." Doing nothing is allowed. Like is readying an action and...

    About initiative

    Sigh. When surprise round starts? It starts when combat starts. When does it end? After the combat started and everyone who were aware have done their actions. Yes, but after that combat started. What I meand is that surprise round ends when combat starts. When combat starts the preseding 3 secs...

    About initiative

    When door is closed NPCs aren't aware. When the door is opened normaly they might be. After the door is kicked in they definetly are aware of PC, but the combat starts when the door gets kicked. I start the combat when there is no going back. After the action that makes combat to happen. And "If...

    About initiative

    You explaining it does make some sense. Much more than "you are not following the rules". And now there is a paradox. They did something that they couldn't do. If it was agreed that the one with smallest initiative kicks the door in and he doesn't then those readied actions couldn't be done...

    About initiative

    Give me rule that says, that opening the door must be surprise round action. I have noticed only one thing touching that and that is DMG example that just does it oppsitely. This is not rules anymore but I am interested that how does that model RL? You kick the door in and that was surprise...

    About initiative

    They to the opening of door to surprise the NPC. And you don't need to use verbal components to open the door. What on the opening of the door I am ignoring? And why should opening of the door auto-igonre-surprise? What rules it has differently? If the spell is a non verbal spell then casting...

    About initiative

    If i am auto-surprise then you are auto-nullifying the surprise. Even now they would have been better without the surprise. Just delaying. So even surprise as I do that wouldn't have allowed then to escape. Same results. You wan't them to get the surprise. Well OK. They can delay as a surprise...

    About initiative

    To that I have to agree. There are so many things that are problem to me but not every one and vice versa. Maybe I am trying to do that too much as it would happen IRL. But the rules and that example supporsts it as I see the thing. And I am giving them change to detect that. There are checks...

    Hmmm... I still think that you are putting some words to my mouth. Giving them a meaning that I didn't mean and are not wanting to understand some things I have wroten. So I think that this is not getting us anywhere, but let's try one more time. Splitting the hair. My point was that it can be...
