1077322056[/unixtime]] Interesting note: neither the rules for attacking with a light weapon nor the rules for attacking with a natural weapon are in the SRD. Apparently they are closed content, possibly because they are retarded (although the rules for attacking with your opponent's light weapon a...

Well, the easiest thing to do is to change opposed checks to DCs. d20 + modifier vs 11 + modifier. Kind of reversing the silly opposed save system with 3.0 psionics. That involves very little in the way of rules rewriting.[br][br]My only problem with the 3.5 grapple rules (beyond complexity issues) ...

Well, in 3.0 if you ice storm an annis hag, mummy, or skeleton it would be affected since their bludgeoning resistance/vulnerability wasn't DR. But in 3.5, it is (DR 2/bludegon, DR 5/-, or DR 5/bludgeon). I'd consider it a simple artifact of the gravitation towards DR.

/me is confused. DR won't stop the damage from ice storm. Why would it affect meteor swarm?

1076313612[/unixtime]]I'm going to have to disagree on Miasma, Fabricate, heal, and haste. Remember "broken" does not mean "you would be stupid not to use it" or "it's really good" or even "it's so good that other people feel inferior when you even mention that it...

You know, Frank, there are orb spells in the MiniHB that are touch attack, no save, and no SR....

Orange prism ioun stones
Incantatrix's Improved Metamagic (MaoF)
Miasma
3.0 heal and harm at epic levels
3.0 haste over 15th level
Fabricate
1E Quiver of Ehlonna (taken literally, could be commanded to produce any item even if it wasn't stored within it)

Sunder, trip, disarm, whirlwind attack.

IIRC, 60 is the fastest nonmagical speed for humanoids. So BoS&S would make that 120. I'd say your move is 80.

"Fabricate is broken! Craft is nonsensical!"

Duh!

But, why not play an AT with Leadership? It's not like they're mutually exclusive or AT requires gobs of feats.

Hey, I'm not saying they're bad. I like 'em. I just saying they're not as good a rogue as a rogue and not as good a wizard as a wizard. If you already have both in your game, play something else. They are, however, better rogues than wizards are, and better wizards than rogues are.

I'm waiting for the Book of Moral Subjectivism.

Last I checked, the specific over rided the general.

Which is why 3.0 Minotaur maze immunity worked even when it shouldn't have.

That depends. If you are using the FRCS experience system it functions exactly as it does in 3.5 except that ECL races are messed up in a more confusingly written fashion. [br][br]Yes, Frank, if you're using optional rules in a different book and a special campaign setting, the rules are different....

As I've said elsewhere, this has only convinced me that DFMD is an abberation to the system and should not be used.[br][br]It ignores the fundamental concept of the hp system that dealing 9 damage to a creature with max 10 hp is more damaging that dealing 50 damage to a creature with max 100 hp, and...

In 3.0, if you remember, XP was determined by average party level, not based on individual level.

So, at 1/2 XP share he would require roughly 26.66 encounters to level, while you still require 13.33.

Huh. Guess I never noticed the XP rate change. I was thinking of the stupid 1/2 share 3.0 form.

Actually, I like the Skullclan Hunter from the MiniH. Amusingly enough, it's another hybrid PrC. This one would work well in a campaign with more so many undead that rogues become totally ineffective in combat.[br][br]FRUE's Telflammar Shadowlord is ok.[br][br]But the Rogue levels 11-20 are pretty m...

Except for the fact that the Wizard cohort would advance slow as molasses. And "upgrading" the cohort would reset his magic items.[br][br]The class is only good if your DM doesn't allow Leadership, you don't have a Wizard, and you don't have a Rogue. Or if you're a Rogue/Assassin. Then its...

The problem is that the line is entirely inconsistent with the way that Ethereal, Ghost Touch, and Incorporeal function... even under 3.0. Why does blink even mention incorporeal when the spell doesn't make you so? The mechanics of that one line of the spell -- indeed, that lone word of the spell --...

1075488990[/unixtime]]Ghost Touch Weapons can touch Ethereal creatures from the physical. This is because they can, specifically, strike and inflict damage upon, creatures who are blinking, or otherwise ethereal. [br][br] No, they don't. Reread the description:[br]3.5: "Ghost Touch: A ghost to...

1075417261[/unixtime]] [br]The blink spell in the 3.5 SRD does say this at one point: "An ethereal creature is invisible, incorporeal, and capable of moving in any direction, even up or down. As an incorporeal creature, you can move through solid objects, including living creatures." [br]...

1075405598[/unixtime]]Speaking of Sneak Attacking - if you have a Ghost Touch weapon the Ring of Blinking is all kinds of crazy hillarity. [br][br]That doesn't work, Frank. Blink makes you Ethereal. Ghost Touch simply allows you to strike incorporeal creatures. Incorporeal creatures aren't Ethereal...
