Neeek, you are the best of gentlepersons and I salute you! I've been devoting as much time as I can to looking over the Bo9S, and when the usual weekend whirlwind is over I'll be back with more questions. I'm a tad befuddled over certain elements, like; can you swap out lower-level maneuvers for hig...

Thanks folks... Just going through the review thread now; back in five!

EDIT: Now reading Lago's detailed review... this is going to take WAY longer than aniticpated

So, one of my players is thinking about using the ToB in the forthcoming RAW campaign. I do have it, but hadn't previously had cause to actually *open* it. I'm forever doing that; too many books, too little time.[br][br]Anyway, I had a read through and... can it be? Is it the case that they've actua...

The last time I touched Psionics was back in 2nd Edition. After the initial "Oo, what can we do with this" period of curiosity, I hated having to deal with a completely different mechanic to everything that had gone before and I hated the fact that magic and psionics interacted so poorly. ...

I agree, but you're looking at it the wrong way around. If someone's desperate to play a Monk for some reason - and I *do* get it; it's one of those classes I desperately want to work because I love the idea, however much the implementation sucks - then being a 13th-level character that has most of ...

Yeah, I guess that would be a reasonable capsule summary of my policies!

1182410452[/unixtime]]I've had to veto something post facto before because with hindsight I had a much better grasp on exactly what I'd agreed. Conversely if you do that you really have to sit down the player and work something out, and avoid what you just did (Ie rebranding it for the bad guys)[br...

1182390746[/unixtime]] 1182359472[/unixtime]]Here's the deal: the glossary of the PHB defines Caster Level as being usually equal to the level of the class. So until you find a rule that says otherwise, that's your caster level. [br][br]Er...but the entire discussion is about a rule that says other...

1182363669[/unixtime]]Amra:[br][br]Would it be correct for me to state that we are in agreement, with the exception of what "for the purpose of casting spells" means?[br][br] [br][br]I'd go further than that! We're pretty much in agreement, and I even agree with your implicit definition o...

1182361100[/unixtime]][br][br]Well, speaking as a DM, this is sometimes necessary. Sometimes you agree on something without fully understanding the ramifications or the possible combos and it turns out it was broken.

If grapple fights are not fun, then grapple fights when both combatants have Robilar's Gambit and high Dex are even less fun. Or a trip-monkey character with Robilar's Gambit. Or, in fact, any of the many contrived situations that characters with Robilar's Gambit can get themselves into that take th...

I don't see where the rules say "caster level" though. I thought I did, but now I'm sure I don't.

Is it seriously the case that WoTC have NEVER come up with an official clarification for this?

But what I'm saying is that you don't use "caster level" for the Sublime Chord calculation.[br][br] Yes, Sublime Chord refers to "Caster Level" every time. But because the equation is only performed once, it's not infinite or iterative. [br][br] But by that reading, the equation ...

Really? Don't suppose you'd care to list a few, would you - if you can remember them off the top of your head, that is. That sounds like something worth knowing

Apologies if this has been brought up before, but I didn't find a mention with a quick search of the boards. I suspect in advance that the answer to the question asked is, in fact, "yes". However, I was going to point out that Sacred Fist is supposed to be a PrC with levels of spellcasting...

1182267377[/unixtime]]Heh, without rule 0 the game would completely fall apart. I mean can you imagine playing everything exactly by RAW? It'd be pretty crazy.
