What have you done to my Underdark Fey thread?

Trying to get the thread back on track? Bad knightfall, bad, bad knightfall

Nice template combos though.

Yep, I love the classics. Now I just need Fiend Folio so I have the kopru, as well.

Hey Krish! Hey all!

Just working, smoking, drinking, and living. I need a woman I guess. My roommates cat raped my arm 2 weeks ago!! It's the most action I've had in 7 months. LOL.

I actually ran a Sutenlund campaign adventure last Sunday, and I hope it works out. It was a bit choppy, but I think I can pull off this DM stuff with D20. There's so many little rules, and things to tweek!

For instance:

A rogue in the group wanted to use his fists as his primary weapon. So he took Unarmed Strike as a feet. I ruled that 2 fists are a natural attack for humanoids ( Humans, orcs, and such ), so there were no attack penalties for using fists as weapons if one had Unarmed Strike. It's been interesting so far.

If 2 fists are a natural attack, then do monks get three attacks with their flurry of blows? I never understood why humans and 2 fists would not be considered natural attacks. Like a trolls 2 claws.

Another problem:

If a rogue Tumbles behind an opponent, does he get a sneak attack? I know they get it for flanking, and being invisible.

The Tumble DCs are too high. I changed it to DC 15 around, and 20 to Tumble through. Is that bad? It's the only thing in combat that can save a rogue's ass.

Did 3.5 dump the Refocus option for initiative? I brought it back, is that bad? and why, if it is?

One fist is primary, the other secondary.

Only if the opponent is denies his DEx bonus to AC or is flanked.

The Tumble DCs are too high. I changed it to DC 15 around, and 20 to Tumble through. Is that bad? It's the only thing in combat that can save a rogue's ass.

That's what stat and skill boosting magic items are for.

I have no idea, but if it works for your group, go with it.
