Re: Cheese Updates, 3.5

A quick question, most likely dumb, but here goes . . .

If I had a mounted dwarven defender, could he use defensive stance while his mount was moving? Or is that just cheating?

Asking before I actually do it in an upcoming adventure.

Re: Oberoni Vs. The Goldfish

Hell, it still might even be overpowered for 9th level, and still be weaker than shapechange, since giving a value to something automatically makes it worth less than infinity.

Re: Unearthed Arcana Cheeselist.

Generally, if I have to change rules mid-game, I do so after consulting the players, and we run a test game.

If we don't like it, we go back after one session. No harm done.

Re: Cheese me a druid.

Then you lose absolutely nothing.

the wolf's trip ability does not allow the other thing to trip you, even if you fail.

But you might get lucky and trip it, but if not, you don't really lose out on anything by trying.

Re: Most interesting plots, npcs, etc

Strange, my players do the exact same thing when they run into gnomes.

My players hate illusions in general, and don't rect well to them at all. Usually when they sucessfully disbeleive something, someone jumps up in an attempt to strike me.

How about having hide in plain sight drops the -10 penalty for being in sight, and reduce the run or attack poeanlty by -10, to -10?
