Just like you felt the need to look down and complain on a simple observation I made on the issue (i.e. the fact that that doesn't look like something in need to be fixed) means you need to be called for what you are. Play nice and you'll be treated nice, bud.

Murtak wrote:What kind of argument is that?

The argument is "IME fights never last less than 5 rounds even against small threats, so that kind of fix and the implementation proposed seem all but necessary". And from where I'm sitting that's a good argument, Kraut.

You don't care diddly how far below 0 the hit points go, it don't kill you unless its a "special event". [br][br]The idea of dying only special events is basically unfair, since when it matters most, people can die more easily than normal. And that's not a good thing per se . What's more,...

Of course you could also just have damage carry over from life 1 to life 2. [br][br]Which in the end is the same as saying your attacks deal only half damage and save or die spells (by a strict definition) now inflict damage equal to half the target's max HP on the target itself. I honestly don't f...

Simply because it's portable and can't be easily edited.

all metamagic feats only affect the base spell, so your example actually deals 20d6 base (maximized to 120) + 20d6 (70 average) Admixtured + one-half 120 (60) Empowered = 120 + 70 + 60 = 250 damage per spell. [br][br]Actually, since as you said metamagic feats only affect the base spell you end up ...

The answer would be "no" due to the following considerations:[br][br]1. MDJ doesn't target anyone so it can be cast normally (everyone already knew that, but it bears repeating)[br]2. even though you speed up so much that you can take 1d4+1 additional "apparent actions", you keep...

During X's Time Stop you cannot act or react, so X can cast MDJ safely. After Time Stop is over the action of casting the spell has already taken place and you just suffer its effects. In other words, your readied action doesn't go off at all.

Zen Archery doesn't have a range limit.

Isn't there a way for you as Admin, fbmf, to delete the problematic post or even just to fix the title?

The moral of the story is that ambiguous rules are superior to unambiguous unbalanced rules. [br][br]Only in the hands of a competent DM. And such a person can handle unambiguous unbalanced rules just fine too. That's to say that any way you look at it ambiguous rules are not really superior to una...

Come back when you veisalgia is definitely over, Mr P.

Nice, taking a line of the "Combat" section out of context and forgetting the rule in the "Equipment" section.[br][br] Gauntlet, Spiked: Your opponent cannot use a disarm action to disarm you of spiked gauntlets. [br][br]If you take it all into context, it's self-evident that the...

In order to work like that, the weapon has to count as both corporeal and incorporeal at the same time.[br][br]Corporeal so you can hold it..[br]and[br]Incorporeal so it can't be hit/can hit incorporeal things... [br][br]That's what I was thinking, and that's how the ability seems to work. OTOH,adm...

Excellent question. Nothing in the rules seems to prevent someone to interpret the text that way, so I'd say that the 3.5 Ghost Touch grants "immunity from corporeal attacks" to the weapon.

Barghast Feed can only net you a total of 18 HD now. [br][br]:confused:[br][br]Did I miss an errata ? [br][br]No, you just missed the Barghest entry. Barghests can Feed up to 9 HD, after that they become Greater Barghests. Greater Barghests can feed only up to 18 HD (MM 3.5, page 23).[br][br] And w...

all they are is your personal rationalizations for what you do and do not like in a game. [br][br]Absolutely true. And the same goes for any other catchy pet phrase or boisterous claim way too many guys tossed out a dozen at a time over several boards: munchkin... powergamer... cheesic of faerun......

Damn, can't argue with that.

But does that memo forbid people you know from using the word "Bosch" too...? :bored:[br][br]And I contend that boschdevil is an entirely new word that just so happens to have some letters in common with a "forbidden word" whose pronunciation can't be forbidden in the first place...

It's also in the non-sidebar rules, albeit somewhat elliptically.[br][br] Any time a feat, prestige class, or other rule refers to your base attack bonus (except for gaining additional attacks) , use the sum of your base attack bonus and epic attack bonus. [br][br]The part you quoted refers to some...

It's on page 207 of the 3.5 DMG as Frank mentioned above: "Behind the curtain: a limit on attacks and saves".

But seriously all this messing about is pointless Well, at least you admit it. That's a start.[br][br]Seriously, if I had to qualify your role in this debate it'd be «muddling waters sidekick» , 'cos you did nothing but twisting and bending inanely and purposefully not only what others say, but als...

My resolution to that contradiction is that the fact that you don't have ranks in the skill gives you the -2 "poor situation/tools/preperation" generic modifier, but does not actually prevent you from making the check.[br][br]So if you have zero ranks in the skill, you still make a roll, ...

I fixed the disarm attempt since I won't get Improved disarm 'till 12th level.[br][br]Yeah, the format may look confusing at first sight but I put the whole thing up so that once it's approved and once we play I can concentrate solely on the game and look up at the chart only to record the changes w...

Ok, I'm back and I've tweaked my build one more time. Here's the latest (and hopefully last) version...[br][br]I've stremlined it alot for ease of reference and play. As the previous build it gets full BAB, 4 SP/level and one Fighter Bonus Feat in place of each blank level (marked with an asterisk)....
