The warlord's at-will "Viper's Strike" has an effect that is an immediate interrupt, so it happens before the enemy shifts. If the warlord gives the granted attack to an adjacent fighter, then as soon as the fighter attacks the opponent, it is automatically marked (Combat Challenge). Now...

In one of my gaming groups we're discussing the Expertise line of feats. The DM is leary of allowing them, and would like to see some justification. Help would be appreciated. B-) Additionally, I have a related question: "Has WotC released any official justification for the feats?" Has...

I’m not sure that Cleave attacks (and therefore marks) two targets. The fighter’s Combat Challenge says “Every time you attack an enemy, whether the attack hits or misses, you can choose to mark that target.” The key here is the word “attack”. The power Cleave says what happens to an adjacent...

I'm building my first Paladin, and finding it very difficult to balance this class. It has two primary builds - Str and Chr, and one secondary stat: Wis. Yet if you go with the Str build your "defender qualities" (read: Divine Challenge) is really sub-par. *(And if you go with a Chr-paladin...

Last night our party was attacked by 2 Ochre Jellies and 4 Shadowhunter Bats. During combat, my fighter pushed an ooze behind a bat that was next to me, then I shifted further away from the 'bat and ooze. I said, "Now the ooze is closer to the bat than to me. It will attack the bat!" The DM...

Last night a goblin Hexer and his minions attacked our party. He hit us with a "Vexing Cloud", which is an area attack. Eventually we were able to surround him, so he used a minor action to sustain the cloud, and move it over himself. We players said "We get OAs 'cause he used an area power...

I see the ecology article, but where's the preview article showing the PC stats for Genesi? Help! I'd like to use a Genesi PC *tomorrow* in a game!

I'm looking for a great "reference sheet". Something that is printed on one side of one 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper, that I can pass around for quick reference. I might even print the thing out on standard page size card stock and laminate it. I'm thinking such a sheet would...

Here's the situation: "Blade" (a Mnk 2/ Warblade 6) steps on a Symbol of Insanity (Will save DC 22) that he did NOT know was there. He is surprised. He's not in combat. Initiative is not, and will not, be rolled. Blade must roll a Will save. Can he use an immediate action to initiate...

I was looking over some of monsters of CR 7. In the MM (3.5e), the average AC is 18. I've got 3 PCs that are built for combat. Their attack bonuses are +14(archer), +12(Ftr), and +10 (WB/Mnk). So, on average, they should hit a typical CR-appropriate target 65% to 85% of the time with their...

...i'm mostly interested in crunching numbers on AC, hp, Atk, CR, etc.... I've got one, but it could be lots better.

Let's say your an archer, and you want to shoot at the size Large bear grappling your size Medium buddy. Could you pick a "square of the bear" that your buddy is not sharing, so that you have 0% chance to hit your buddy, rather than the normal chance (25%)?

A player of mine has asked to play either a Warblade or Swordsage (from the WotC book: Tome of Battle - the Book of Nine Swords). I'm wondering what the general opinion is on these classes. Swordsage: The swordsage seems to have a mis-print in their skill points per level. It should be 4 pts...

...my quick glance-through didn't find any changes. What did I miss?

Needless to say, if you are a player of mine (in the Brightstone Campaign), please avoid this thread. Thanks! :cool: I'm currently DMing a group of high level PCs (APL 19). We've been at this campaign for a while, trading the DM role as the whim takes us. I've been DMing the last 5...

Question is the thread's title. Generally speaking, "Wall" spells block line of sight, with the prominent exception of Wall of Force, and potentially the incredibly nasty Druid spell Wall of Thorns. I can imagine being able to see through a fire....or NOT being able to see through fire...

My PC has finally become wealthy enough to have some custom magic boots made. I've priced 'em, but I thought a second opinion (and third, and fourth, and fifth.... ;) ) would be a good idea. I'm using the magic item creation rules in the back of the DMG 3.5e. And no, I don't need to be...

...I've (only recently! :o ) noticed that creatures can be larger than Colossal. Apparently they can be "Colossal +". (The largest Monstrous Spider, for example.) What, other than the obvious, does that mean in game terms? Where can I find that in writing in the SRD?

....'cause I can't find a specific reference. Do we assume that creatures are effectively "cubes", and therefore their reach extends out in a larger cubic shape? For Example: Stone Giant with a greatclub, trying to swing at a flying wizard 35 feet up (that is, occupying the cube 7 "squares" up...

Hello! Last session, we encountered a sick dragon that had taken ability damage. My Clr cast Heal on it. My DM questioned whether or not the spell removed the ability damage. Check out the description: The highlighted text: Couldn't this mean the ability damage stops....but is not...
