Man, I get back from vacation, and look at all the traffic:<br><br>Good news - You do in fact use the True Strike bonus for the second role. The reason - When...
Ran into this one myself - The official rule is that it applies to EVERY attack (where the situation warrants). I found this way to brutal, espcially combined ...
I just picked up sword and fist the other day, and spotted the Ring of Shocking Blows. The description states, "On command, this ring imbues the wearer's hands...
I am pretty sure that you can't wear a ring and gauntlets toegether and have the ring still work if it is magical. <br> Since is it electrical I would think...
On page 176 of the DMG it states that you can wear a pair of magic gauntlets or gloves and 2 rings and they will still function as normal.<br><br>The ring of...
I would not let a ring of shocking grasp be combined with metal gauntlets or gloves. It goes beyond the books, but it makes sense.<br><br>OfficeRonin...
Is this because you wouldn't allow a magic ring to be worn with magic gauntlets or gloves, or is it because you don't think it would transmit through the ...
My take?<br><br>The ring's electricity would conduct through the gauntlet... and then shock him through the gauntlet.<br><br>After all, the ring doesn't give...
I would let magic rings be worn with gloves and gauntlets (over a glove, under a gauntlet. The ring of Shocking Grasp, however, would be a special case. It...
BTW -- if the PC is a monk (or someone else looking to stack punch damage), I make them choose (before rolling to hit) if they are punching (which would add...
If a monster has two natural attacks (ie. 2 claws as with a skeleton),do they have to take a full attack option to attack with two claws. Is their attack with...
Luckily, this was covered in Dragon.. Any creature has to use the full attack action to get more then one attack in a round (hydras are an exception). If both...
If you want to see how powerful this makes monsters with multiple attacks, just look at the Dragon about dragons. Your PCs won't be rushing into battle with a...
Ok, initially I did not think this was going to be a big problem, or that it was going to come out in the wash, but I am starting my 3rd d&d3e campaign ...
Skills are the only reason to be a rogue, so you do not want to cancel out that advantage. The flat pile of skill points would mean that only idiots would play...
At first level, the number of skill points is multiplied by 4.<br><br>For instance, the rogue normally gets 8 + (Intelligence bonus) = skill points.<br><br>At...
I think that if it is worth it for every character to take the first level as a rogue, then you need to change it.<br><br>How? Simple. Run a campaign where the...
I ran into this problem once. However, it was a mistake on the part of the players. This particular adventure was particularly combat heavy. They didn't have a...
You wrote, if it's "worth it for every character to take the first level as a rogue, then you need to change it." I couldn't agree more. However, using a ...
The dual-class rules would still permit survivable PCs in the gladiatorial or heavy combat setting -- although I know my players would question why they wanted...
I'll be honest with all of you. (Yes, yes. I know that sounds scary, but I'll be careful.)<br><br>I would find a different group, if everyone else was doing...
Honestly, that's fine. If a GM tried to use some strongarm tactic to decide that I couldn't be a rogue (assuming that other people could be a rogue), I doubt I...
>You may recall that I had these issues, too (and <br>>got hammered here in this club for saying so <br>>back in March.) Even then, you said my ...
I feel obliged to take a moment to stick up for my group. <br><br>They are a bunch of great players, and produce well thought out characters that are a joy to...
Actually, your group sounds pretty good. I'd play with y'all, but it's one hell of a commute.<br><br>As I said before, I do not think it is possible to ...
Ok I was wondering......I have an assassin that recently " found " a long sword of haste. Now what I was wondering was if I were to sneak attack with this long...
