Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Dysfunctional Rules Collection
If there are ways of doing such a thing, I would generally be more interested in banning those ways than using them. With the exception of enforced flavor like alignment preqs, I tend to assume that they're there for a reason and should not be bypassed (abilities like Primary Contact bug me for much this reason; they break an otherwise unbreakable rule that was probably better not broken, or at least broken for everyone instead of just those that spend a feat to break it).

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Dysfunctional Rules Collection
There is the moral of all human tales;
'Tis but the same rehearsal of the past.
First freedom and then Glory - when that fails,
Wealth, vice, corruption - barbarism at last.
And History, with all her volumes vast,
Hath but one page...

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Dysfunctional Rules Collection
The shipping company (Power of Faerun) and Criminal company (DMG2) are both high resource, high capital, and high risk businesses, and all businesses use the same random encounter table and rules.
Therefore all that matters when whether you should ship drugs or food is which is higher charisma or wisdom (Assume equal optimzation) (criminal uses intimidate, shipping uses profession).

There are no fire extinguishers or fireproof boxes.
π = 4
Consider a 5' radius blast: this affects 4 squares which have a circumference of 40' — Actually it's worse than that.

Both meaning both companies, or more specifically the buildings thereof. I believe the relevant table was mentioned earlier in the thread.

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Dysfunctional Rules Collection
I recall a few pages back someone saying heat, starvation, and thirst won't kill you. Heat has already been disproven, so here's page 15 of sandstorm.
SpoilerDehydrated: Characters who have taken nonlethal
damage from lack of water are considered dehydrated and
become fatigued. In addition, if a dehydrated character
would take nonlethal damage from hot conditions (such
as those described in this book or on page 303 of the
Dungeon Master’s Guide), that damage instead becomes
lethal damage.
A character who falls unconscious from nonlethal
damage due to thirst begins to take the same amount of
lethal damage instead. Damage from thirst, whether lethal
or nonlethal, cannot be recovered until the character has
been treated (see below); not even magic that restores hit
points heals this damage.
Sections bolded for ease of access.

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Dysfunctional Rules Collection
The second part was removed in the Rules Compendium, and since that is supposed to take precedence, thirst by itself will not kill you.

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Dysfunctional Rules Collection
WoTC may have intended that to be the case, but WoTC itself sets the Rules Compendium pretty low on the totem pole. Specifically, see the official Errata published on the web. The Rules Compendium does not override the WoTC errata published, due to the phrase(s):

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Dysfunctional Rules Collection
Kinda.
According to the Primary Source rule found in pretty much all of the errata files, The PHB, DMG, and MM take priority over the rules compendium.
According to the Rules Compendium, the Rules Compendium takes priority over the PHB, DMG, and MM.
I don't touch the Rules Compendium out of spite for what it seems to be to me.Of course, by the time I finish this post, it will already be obsolete. C'est la vie.

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Dysfunctional Rules Collection
This contradiction will be settled rather decisively when the 3.5 reprints hit the shelves and we find out which version of the rules got kept.
Personally though I'd think a book called the Rules Compendium would trump any source printed prior to it, since the entire stated purpose of said book was to clarify previous rule sets.

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Dysfunctional Rules Collection
It says "On Sale September 18th" (making me suddenly rather glad I got outbid on a 3.5 DMG on Ebay the other day). It also says they're going to contain "the latest" errata, making me wonder if that just means everything that they published over the life of 3.5 or if they've actually been working on it while 4E was going. What I'm really worred about though is what exactly "premium" means in this context. I'd like to buy them, but not if they come in a leather-bound slipcase for $100+....

I tried taking the survey.
Seems it doesn't work under FireFox, Opera or IE.
This would seem to be an appropriate thread to mention this in.π = 4

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Dysfunctional Rules Collection
As per all the rules I could find about stealth and the FAQs I've read, you can make a full attack while hiding, you just have to roll a stealth check after each attack at -20.
The rules for sniping also give you -20, but they only let you attack once per round. So apparently striking from the shadows is easier in melee than it is at range.Last edited by LordotheMorning; 2012-08-19 at 05:47 PM.

I hope they'll reprint Tome of Battle with all of the Errata that never got released.
