I've got the 3.5 PHB in front of me

[roytheodd]

My office got an advance copy. I don't have time to read it now, but thumbing through it I will say that it's interior contents look A LOT like the interior contents of the 3.0 version. The artwork is mostly the same (pictures for gear, races, and iconic characters). The chapters are laid out in the same order. Really, it's going to have a comfortable feel to it because it looks so much like what we already have (right down to the artwork of Lidda's burnt face while misuing a magical device).

Say, uh, completely unrelated to this thread, but, uh, someone -- Eric Noah! Yeah, Eric Noah, he wanted to know where exactly "the office" is located, so he could, uh, send you something. A, uh, card. Yeah, a card. And, just so I- err, he can be sure you'll be there to get the card, could you tell us- err, him, Eric Noah, that is -- tell him when your office will be empty?

'Cause, you know, Eric Noah. Wanted to know. Told me to ask.

Reeeeaaally.....

Please provide a street address. I'll be right over!

*edit* LOL, coyote, we're on the same wavelength!

So what did they do to the Paladin?
What's the smite progression and any other abilities?

Power Attack and Die Hard

Did they make any changes to the Power Attack feat? Do you inflict more damage with a two handed weapon?

What does the "Die Hard" feat do?

 

[Sixchan]

No! What we really want to know is:

Who is the sexiest Gnome?

 

[EricNoah]

I want to know about the Tumble skill. Is is an opposed check now or still a static DC?

I think you should scan the book and e-mail me a copy, so that I can verify that it is in fact the 3.5 PHB, yeah, that's it just to verify. Tough job, but I'll humbly volunteer to do it

Smite Evil is gained at 1/day at 1st level, 2/day at 5th level, 3/day at 10th level, 4/day at 15th level, and 5/day at 20th level.

Smite Evil (Su): Once per day, a paladin may attempt to site evil with one normal melee attack. She adds her Charsima bonus (if any) to her attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per paladin level. For example, a 13th-level paladin armed with a longsword would deal 1d8+13 points of damage, plus any additional bonuses for high Strength or magical effects that would normally apply. If the paladin accidentally smites a creature that is not evil, the smite has no effect, but the ability is still used up for that day.
At 5th level, and every five levels thereafter, the paladin may smite evil one additional time per day, as indicated on table 3-12: The Paladin, to a maximum of five times per day at 20th level.
