[QUOTE="kensanata, post: 3311390, member: 47845"] I'm just wondering: Why would anybody be using a shield instead? On the other hand, the Kitsunemori Campaign Setting I'm using has one particular weapon, the Tessen (a war-fan), that can be used as a shield, ie. it grants AC +1. I must confess that I thought it only granted this bonus if you did not attack in the same round. I'm not sure what to think of it all. You provided some excellent examples for non-melee situations. In these situations, I would rule just like you did. How do you handle it in combat, however? D&D 3.5 says you get the sneak attack whenever you're flanking your enemy. No extra rolls required, right? My players just felt it was so unfair to do a sub+DEX vs sub+DEX check to "sneak", succeed, and then roll again for an attack, and miss... I think you won't find too many ideas that are not already on the wiki. I've added all the ones I liked. ;) And a lot of them have been added by their respective authors. Unless you wanted to add all the Rank20 and Ultramicrolight20 stuff as well... I occasionally save a plain-text copy of the thread as well. Perhaps we should add bbcode to Oddmuse so that we can just copy the plaintext file on the wiki... :) How weird. I find this totally not interesting, but I'm sure I could just rattle down 20 critters in 20 minutes without using a generator. See next post... [/QUOTE]
