Ahh! That makes sense now.. I was actually wondering what two lines you where referring to.

If by annoying you mean made of awesomeness... then yes.. yes I am! But enough about me.. on with the story and more about Percy! 8)

It was originally intended as a character write out for Oleaf. It's her first foray into D&D and she wasn't sure it was for her. Although my understanding now is that she's gotten hooked on the story... if that's enough for her to stay or not I guess we'll have to wait and see how the story...

I would say it's easily worth $25.00 being able to do word searches on a computer instead of skimming through the book is huge! Sure there is the table of contents and the index but some times you can't find what you're looking for. If I was reading a story I wouldn't like it in a PDF...

3.5 is a completely different game than 4th edition. It's about as similar as Super Mario Brothers 3 and Mario World. If anything the biggest problem with confusion is people still trying to apply 3rd edition rules to 4th edition. The easiest way to learn the game is for people to throw...

That part of the rules isn't new. You've never been able to use immediate actions during your turn. The rules itself is still very clear about immediate actions. The only new part is having it as a requirement for a weapon ability. Whether or not the rules of immediate actions where...

Examining the information again I can see where you guys are coming from on the fact that perhaps the rule itself isn't being used as it was intended with these items. I do think it's kind of a clever use of the rules as long as it's balanced out accordingly with other items. It didn't occur...

The pricing may be off and some of the other points could be valid as well, I haven't looked that closely at it. I was only referring to items that can only be used through immediate actions. To me the creation of these items seems to be intentional rather than a bug that needs fixed.

Isn't the fact that you can only do it on an immediate action a clear indication for how it's intended to be used? I could see if the rules about immediate actions where fuzzy in some way but they're not.

Reading comprehension. You stated that it wasn't possible to use immediate actions on your own turn before these three items existed. I gave an example that it clearly was possible to create immediate actions on your turn. I also stated that using immediate actions on your own turn is against...

You probably responded before I got my edit so I'll restate it here. You're still wrong it's not just for three items. It is possible to trigger immediate actions on your own turn. Example the halfling racial ability to force the target to reroll it's attack. If not for the this rule you...

Actually it's not obscure at all.. it's spelled out crystal clear on page 268. Emphasis mine, as you can clearly see it's spelled out plainly in black and white. There is nothing about it that isn't obvious. I can see people wanting it to be a free action so that they can trigger it when...

I'm some what on the fense with the issue but I will say this. One is a Defender and one is a Striker. It seems a little odd for them to have the same AC as I would think a Striker would cap out 2-3 AC lower than a Defender. It's not really game breaking either way, it just seems a little...

This summarizes the whole issue. http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/commentary/alttext/2008/06/alttext_0618

Exception based rules: Unless it specifically states otherwise it's included. 1.) Page 278 Critical Hit Damage. This specifically excludes high crit weapons, and magical weapons, implements from being max damage. So you have to roll the damage die for them and add it in. It doesn't exclude...

As the rules are written no you can't. Keeping in mind you're not necessarily missing your target because you hit the guy infront of him. You're actively trying to hit your target and not the monster infront of your target. With that being said it's more likely the monster infront caused you...

I mentioned the same thing further up in the thread and you chose to ignore it and just respond with more snarkiness. That's not even etting into the fact of how obvious the problem is. When the issue of trivializing the encounters comes up and I'm sure it will, I can tell you a very easy fix...

It's not about being suspicious, if it works for you guys that's great and ultimately that's what matters. I'm just saying it has a very high potential of trivializing any difficult encounter. (Not just solo boss encounters.)

Not if they're house ruling it so that you can use more than one per encounter.

So you guys can save up all of your action points and then unload on a boss and kill him before he even gets a turn?
