The Gaming Den

Evidently, I quoted too much. Here it is again, with just the relevant bit:

You may not use a weapon that is a larger than yourself. A Large character can use a Large (or smaller) object as a weapon, but may not use a Huge (or larger) object as a weapon.

Hit Dice [br][br]For the purpose of effects related to number of Hit Dice, use the master’s character level or the familiar’s normal HD total, whichever is higher.[br][br] Hit Points [br][br]The familiar has one-half the master’s total hit points (not including temporary hit points), rounded down, ...

[br]Here’s how weapon sizes ought to work:[br]• You may not use a weapon that is a larger than yourself. A Large character can use a Large (or smaller)[br]object as a weapon, but may not use a Huge (or larger) object as a weapon.[br]• You may not use an object that is too heavy for you to lift as a...

Re: Insightful Strike[br][br]Either give the class the ability to have Insightful Strike apply to thrown weapons, or consider Zen Archery, or Hunter.[br][br]Also, please define "tumble move". Also, since you only get one chance to select "Weak Spot", if you expect everyone to tak...

I suspect that anything involving a wizard and an arrow slit will be memorable... Or metal bars that the party can't easily get past. Keep some mooks on the far side to keep them busy and actually kill them, and throw down some control spells, or hell, even direct damage will work well. Make sure th...

I think it's "How many pages does Power Word: Whatever *really* take up in my spellbook?"

Answer: The same as everything else. The rules are made of arbitrarium.

+0: You suffer no penalty for doing things with your[br]off-hand. When you make an attack or full-attack[br]action, you may make a number of attacks with[br]your off-hand weapon equal to the number of attacks[br]you are afforded with your primary weapon. [br][br]I think that's pretty clear. When Fr...

You can only make AoA when you are armed, and can make a melee attack, I'm pretty sure. So if they can use them as melee touch attacks rather than ranged touch attacks (or whatever), then yes, otherwise, I expect no.[br][br]The SoH trick is based on the fact that you can [br][br] [br]Drawing a hidde...

1) Sure, so long as its revered in his culture.[br][br]2) Yes, take combat looting.[br][br]3) BAB, Whirlwind, (eventually) PBS. The idea is to make your attacks more worthwhile, rather than having everyone need to roll 40 dice to try to be effective.[br][br]4) The books were written to be independen...

+6: When you strike your opponent with the signature[br]moves of your fighting school in melee, they must[br]make a Fortitude Save (DC 10 + 1/2 your level[br]+ your Strength bonus) or become dazed for one[br]round [br][br]Wait, doesn't this require a saving throw per hit? Or does "signature mo...

Whirlwind attack + Combat School on high str monsters pretty much owns parties.[br][br] The real problem is simply that feats are rewritten, and so you have to redo monsters with the new feats. [br][br]I'd say that in general, picking out 2-4 feats RoW feats for a monster and slapping them on what's...

[br] And if they try to planeshift and call them en masse, then there is a finite number of people/demons/angels that can be told about this in advance, right? [br][br]What?[br] [br][br]I'm trying to say that unless an infinite number of outsiders learn about/figure out that genies grant wishes, on...

So, they planeshift to the genie's home turf and demand wishes? What's to stop the genies from either kicking them in the pants as a group or simply planeshifting away themselves? Or maybe, the genies keep some non-genies on hand to grant wishes to make the nasties go away.[br][br]And, let me know i...

Well, the trouble is, that, if you're playing RAF&K, then you can only summon or call things from the prime material plane, which means that unless either there are an infinite prime material planes or one or more of them is infinite in size and population, then we're fine. Of course, that's pop...

An attack action can be spent to make an attack. Or to make a special attack (Disarm, Grapple, etc.) Or to use a number of other abilities. [br][br]Respectfully, I disagree. Do you have any real rules justification for this? I agree that's how it *should* be, but I don't think that's what the RAW s...

That's actually pretty interesting.[br][br] [br] RESISTANCE TO ENERGY[br][br]A creature with resistance to energy has the ability (usually extraordinary) to ignore some damage of a certain type each round, but it does not have total immunity.[br][br]Each resistance ability is defined by what energy ...

toss on a bunch of stuff that gives it attack boosts and defense boosts and you can't give the PCs more 'real' wealth as a result.

You can, but it's obnoxious to have to do that to all the monsters. That's what buying books is for!

It further implies that 'attack action' is each attack. So if you can do something as an attack action, you can do so whenever it has an attack. At least for iteratives. [br][br]Where does it say that? Because, as far as I can tell, the text really does mean for "attack action" to mean an...

And, let me guess, your paladin is in the wish economy, whereas virgileso's are level 6 and not fully in the wish economy. That makes a big difference.[br][br]So it sounds like you need some options for dealing with your players effectively? You need look no further than the special attack actions s...

Resistance To Energy[br][br]A creature with resistance to energy has the ability (usually extraordinary) to ignore some damage of a certain type each round , but it does not have total immunity.[br][br]Each resistance ability is defined by what energy type it resists and how many points of damage a...

So, how long does an attack action take? No, really. It's not a well defined thing. The obvious thing is that an attack action is an attack, so if you have ways of getting more than one attack, you can make more than one in a round. However, the SRD's verbage on actions such as disarm say "As a...

Yes, the limiting factor is not in how many, but how awesome.[br][br]You can get a slotless "scroll" or "potion" item (command word activated) that casts a 3rd level spell once per day at caster level 6 for 12960gp.[br][br]Or you can get a pearl of power (3rd) for 9000gp.[br][br]...

[br] Yeah, scrolls are the main thing I worry about in the wish economy. Nobody cares if you can make infinite rings of protection, but getting infinite spell slots is another matter entirely.[br][br]Then again, scrolls never even fit well with the D&D model anyway. I've never liked one shot exp...

Everyone has reasons to want downtime, the wizard is just doomed to be a lonely old man because he spends his downtime secluded in his tower working on stuff and not romancing the tavern wenches or marrying the princess.[br] [br][br]That's why you research Nap and gain 7 hours per day.[br][br] Crea...

Also it begs the question as to why a guy who has the means to get into the wish economy (and infinite gold) is bothering to sell items to people? [br][br]I discussed this in my Wheel of Genie Thread. It's actually pretty strange. Since they can wish for Candle of Invocation or Scrolls of Planar Bi...
