True Strike & Manyshot vs. those Lvl 10 Duellists around...

Even more: Having grown up in the desert makes perfect sense to get the HW's ability. Having watched his parents being killed by a giant is absolutely no reason for inflicting more damage to giants.

When thinking about the Hierophant's abilities, do not forget the spell-like ability. When your Cleric has one spell which he casts very often, you can make him cast this spell safely even when paralized, grappled (given a fair concentration), silenced, deafened, etc., and since you can use this...

In addition, if the heirophant's dex mod is bad, he can take the Zen Archery feat from CW to hit even the dextrous foes on any roll but a 1.

That is true if the spell works like e.g. Reduce Person, which assumes the density to stay constant when changing size. There is no nessessity for the density to stay constant in the new epic spell. It could very well work in the way that the sun is made smaller and more dense, keeping its mass...

The True Strike - Power Attack - Great Cleave Combo is interesting, but not overpowered IMHO. When it comes to multiple attacks (at lvl 6+), a Fighter-only will do 4 regular attacks in two rounds (given there are enough foes), while the Fighter-Mage only get a single regular attack in two...

We had the same problem last session. The PHB and DMG are not completetly clear on this. Basically they say that if an attack is accompanied by an effect which required a wound to be there (e.g. poison, crippling strike) the attack needs to do damage (i.e. dmg>DR) for the effect to come. Sneak...

The Duelist comes quite close to this build. A Ftr 4, Rog 3, Due 7 with Dex 20, Int 16 and Combat Expertise using total defence has an AC of 34+magic items. And his Reflex save (with lightning reflexes) is 16+magic items. Once he starts fighting, his damage output is not bad, either. If this...

With PHB-rules only (just requires special cards): If your cards have 30ft. reach, and you use them to strike, you can hit at least 52 orcs standing around you with a single whirlwind attack. Dropping a card after a melee attack is a free action. And of course you'd need quick draw to draw the...

But for wands, IIRC, there is no distinction between arcane and divine. So a bard can use a cleric's wand of Cure Light Wounds.

Some 0th level spells could become too good, if a caster could cast too many of them. E.g. cure minor wounds, disrupt undead, and some others appearing in class books, etc.

So in principle all agree that the person should be blind. In particular, true seeing does not help against blindness. I would say so, too. But one could very well interpret the spell descriptions differently. Does anyone know a reference in the rules or the FAQs? PS: A similar problem occurs...

One quick question: If Blindness and True Seeing are both cast on one person, can the person see or not?

BTW. Is it true that all metamagic rods weigh 5 pd.? A standard Sor/Wiz will have a hard time carrying around rods and still stay light encumbered. This can be thought of a balancing issue, given the encumberance rules are applied correctly.

Sneak attack also applies to any (Great) Cleave Attacks. An invisible Rogue (with Great Cleave) sneaking between 4 foes can easily bring all of them down with a single attack.

You are right. It is the only conclusion. I have been so blind. Consequently, a tumble check for DC 15 allows you to lose weight worth 10ft of falling. So to speak: Tumbling diet, or Slim fast. Actually, I just noticed, that the D&D world can have the same rules as our world. Just the speed of...

If this was the case, why would falling damage be proportional to falling height?

You can have a look at the Minstrel in the Umbragia Setting. It is in the Book of Arcane Casters, which is free for download (PDF). Compared to the Bard, the Minstrel has access to some Sor/Wiz-spells, more focus on (and power from) a certain instrument, casts spells with a mana point system...

I recently figured out, that in 3.5 one of the best PrCs for a Barbarian is the Horizon Walker. Take just one level and choose the desert affinity. Then your Barbarian is NEVER fatigued after raging (besides being immune to any fatiguing spells). Take six levels and the shifting affinity at 6th...
