[QUOTE="Archer, post: 93870, member: 2950"] 3. Paladin's mount Argument against the sage: The windrider gets 5x the mount that the paladin does while still get feats for both himself and his mount all in 10 levels. The paladin doesn't get much other than his mount and to be at all useful at higher levels it should be treated as a magical beast for all HD, BAB, feats, skills and saves. This is a balance issue. 4) Monk Shields Why does the best advice go against all rulings and spirit of the rules? Calling the rules dicey is not accurate. 99.9% clear is better. 11) Gauntlets as armor I'd have to say since gauntlets are the gloves slot (not armor slot)for magic items and as they have no characteristics of armor they are not armor. How a shield can not be armor and gauntlets be armor is beyond me. 12) rules and sage exactly mirror best advice 14) Argument against: This is just insane and a clear abuse. 18) Is the purpose of using a weapon to initiate trip to use its enhancement bonus? I'd say you can't use an ordinary weapon to trip because trip weapons are explicitly declared to be able to trip which they wouldn't do if any weapon could. Things like daggers don't even come close to someone's feet. 19) Rules and sage mirror best advice. 20) Rules and sage say the first example 21) Sage says combine the empowers as a single metamagic and then apply them. Rules don't even say you can stack the same metamagic. 22) If you give tiny creatures AoO do you also give fine creatures an AoO? They both have the same reach after all. Running through a cloud of bees should not entitle every bee to a free attack on you so how is running through a carpet of rats different? 23) How is the best advice not exactly? Isn't the answer just NO? You don't have to have TWF to take a throwing attack with your off hand at full penalties. 26) Sage agrees with best advice 28) Add to argument against: There are feats and class abilities that let you do this. If anyone could do it, why have feats that specifically allow such things? [/QUOTE]
