First, that was me originally. Secondly a doubling works in this case because the damage per attack already takes into account the probability of a hit or miss occurring. The second attack does no more or less damage just because the first did or did not hit; barring any monster ability the two...

statistics Yes, but that's not what these numbers measure. You still have a 30% chance of hitting on a second roll regardless of whether you hit on the first. The probabilities are independent.

Let's take a base d8 weapon. Even if you have a 10% chance of hitting (roll of 19 or 20 hits), Twin strike is better. - d8 gets replaced with 4.5, as that is the average damage a d8 will do. Careful: 17-19 hit, 20 crits. 15% chance of d8 damage and 5% chance of 8 damage. (.15 * 4.5) + (.05 *...

I at first thought that of course this can't be true, it doesn't intuitively seem like it could be. And then I did the math. Taking a d8 for example, if you need a 19 to hit careful strike is going to give you a 15% chance of getting a d8 damage and a 5% chance of doing 8 damage, coming to an...

That's pretty close to it. It's just a combat action so it doesn't get a writeup like a class ability, but in the adventure they do mention it's Str vs Fort with a success pushing the target one square.

Technically if you were to copy just the rules, and remove references to WOTC trademarks, that would be a perfectly legal thing to do as rules may never be under copyright, which is probably why hand-copying the abilities and such was mentioned by WOTC over the phone; if you were to do that you...

If that's the deal I'm thinking of (and getting) shipping is free, and state sales tax is included already. I had much the same, only with an extra 5% for AAA membership making the grand total after tax and free 3-day shipping $51.25.

Well, in the SRD there's Bless Weapon that Paladins can cast, bypassing /magic on evil creatures and aligning the weapon to be good. There's also Align Weapon that Clerics can cast, which can grant an alignment to a weapon. Nothing for Cold Iron/Silver/Adamantine, though.
