Message: <blockquote data-quote="Infiniti2000" data-source="post: 2850603" data-attributes="member: 31734">RttToEE was the motivation for me to get back on the Internet and involved with on-line discussions, etc.  Without it, I would never have joined Monte's site and migrated here.  I've been a huge contributor to the RttToEE forum.  That also explains my custom title. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I'd be fine with not allowing sheathing a weapon as a free action (as part of a move, don't forget that caveat), but then you shouldn't allow it for shields.  Being trained in weapons myself, I'm confident that sheathing a weapon is not any more difficult than putting a shield on your back. Primarily, it was the elder earth elemental and a main bad guy in RttToEE. As for provoking an AoO with a reach weapon, I disagree.  I actually favor the FAQ (or is it RotG) interpretation on that issue.  Thanks for reminding me as I will include it.  Yes, it makes reach more powerful, but IME not overly so.  And believe me I use a lot of high level monsters, big ones too.  At least, it's not unbalanced in my games.  I think one reason is that IMO most monsters with reach will try to get closer to keep their opponents from easily stepping back out of harm's way.  Thus, reach-based-disarming is rarely, if ever done.  If it is done, then the downside is that your opponent can step back and do something else.The sunder issue we agreed as a group, unanimous decision.  I personally dislike the idea of attacking your opponent's weapon.  I think that in real combat, it would be a stupid decision in almost every case except for specific weapons that are easy to smash, like long, thin sticks.  Who in their right mind attacks a longsword?  I don't like it, so making it a standard action solves my "problem".  Sunder if you want, but you will probably only do it on a weapon that can easily be destroyed in one shot.  That very closely mirrors what I think would happen in a real combat.  You don't waste a lot of time attacking your opponent's weapon.Thanks again, everyone.  I appreciate the feedback.  I will try to incorporate my responses on the webpage. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
