No offence to chonj, but he ranted about a lot of things.

In my opinion, that would help making odd stats less vital, and even numbered stats less reviled. (I've found myself almost ready to scrap a set of rolls and re-roll becuase I got...

Re: Poll: What's in a Race?

Dwarves get +2 to all saves versus magic. Since mos of the saving throws will be against magic spells, for all intents and purposes, you get +2 to all saves. except for disease, and reflex saves to avoid non-magical traps. (And poison gets the +2 save against poison. Magic poison gets +4, since they...

I was under the impression that if your taint ever got to 10 or higher, your character got taken away from you to the pits of Fu Leng and turned into a near mindless slave-creature?

Re: Combat Actions

Why do you allow a jump check to help while bull rushing? I can see using balance to increase the score of the defender, but why should jump increase for the attacker? I've bull rushed people in real life, and I don't see how jump could help.

Re: Question for Frank

The only reason to forbid elemental wildshape to include elemental templates is because it's really out there.

Keep in mind that there is nothing in the book that says it, it is simply my expert analysis after seconds and seconds of thought. :uptosomething:

I'm a little unfamiliar with cover myself, so forgive me if thi sound stupid, but doesn't cove rmess up all your own attacks just as much as it messes up theirs?

The one and only time I used cover, the goblin got a crritical hit and took me down to 1 HP from around 12 at level 2.
