I've got the 3.5 PHB in front of me

[Grayhawk]

You are forgetting that in most cases the ranger feats seem to be available earlier than you would be able to get them via straight feat achievement (the TWF at 6th and 11th certainly).

I saw an argument somewhere, that if two-weapon fighting is balanced through levels 1 to 5 - where it doubles the amount of attacks - it looses potency when characters reaches BAB +6, as it now no longer doubles the possible amount of attacks.

Therefore, I suspect that ITWF will have a prereq of BAB +6, for all characters.

But this is merely speculation on my part.

I would like to hear about some of the things that haven't been talked about before.

Sorcs: Do they have any class skills based on Charisma yet?

Rogues: The only thing I've heard about them is the Trap Sense ability. Are there other changes? Specifically, is their list of Rogue Special feats expanded or do they get more special abilities?

From what I've seen, the best sneak in the game is going to be a Ranger. They have nearly as many skill points as rogues, get a couple of special abilities (HiPS and Camo) to further improve it, and have other things.

So what has the Rogue got?

I have a few quick questions for roy:

---What are a Ranger's good saves? Are they Fortitude or Fortitude and Reflex?
---What does Two Weapon Defense do?
---What does Wild Empathy do?
---What're the Ranger's new class skills?

Ah! Damnable reversed titles...

People's Front of Judea? [spit] We're the Judean People's Front!! ... People's Front of Judea. Splitters!

Roy, excellent work so far, and thanks for your time to look up all of these questions as the guru-on-the-mountain.

Could you post some quick summaries of the new Bard and Sorcerer?

Thanks --

I have a few quick questions for roy:

---What are a Ranger's good saves? Are they Fortitude or

Fort and Reflex per Andy Collins and Dungeon/Dragon mag. The others have been mostly answered as well.

Ugh! After 3 years, can we PLEASE stop hearing about Rangers!?

NEVER!! There's always next season.

Spell Focus: Add +1 to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against spells from the school of magic you choose. You can gain this feat multiple times, but its effects don't stack. Each time you take the feat, you must choose a different school.

I was hoping this one wasn't true.

Ah, well. First house rule of the revision goes down...

Thanks very much for the info, Roy! I'm looking forward to more. Now, I've read through all the posts thus far and I don't think you answered Henry's question from a few pages back, so please forgive me if I bump it. It is, after all, an extremely important question, upon which, no doubt the success or failure of 3.5 hinges. Never mind all these trivial debates about scribing costs, TWF and the like...

Are the page backgrounds still lined?

Thanks.

I, for one, am filled with dread that poor Roy showed up for work this morning and the magic 3.5 PHB had disappeared.

Speak to us, Roy. Let us know you are still out there.
