[nedz]

I'm in the process of updating the Handbook, but I have a couple I don't understand

Blood Moon sign — anyone know what this is please ? Is it a class feature, a feat or ... ?
???<<Blood Moon sign||Raging makes you comatose||5||38||3.5>>

Which class does this apply to ?
ACF<<Favored of the Fiends||Does not require evil alignment; yet it gives you evil claws||5||50||3.5>>

[The Viscount]

Favored of the Fiends is an alternative class feature of Favored Soul.

[Gadora]

The Blood Moon sign is a sign that an Elder Evil, the dread Hulks of Zoretha, stir once more.

That is to say, it's a thing from the book Elder Evils, and probably doesn't get sorted more cleanly than 'sign of an apocalypse.' It's sort of like mystical weather.

[...]

In BoVD, there is a race that is just like humans, only they get a bonus vile feat at first level. Humans can also choose to get a bonus vile feat at first level. This race is a direct downgrade to humans.

Wrong thread, friend. This is just a compilation thread. You'll want this thread, the current version where we post dysfunction.

[nedz]

Thanks guys, Handbook should now be up to date.

[Seppo87]

Factotum's Cunning Strike does not specify a duration. RAW, the sneak attack die lasts forever.

[Chronos]

Again, wrong thread.

[deuxhero]

These two seem to have been missed



PrC|Pure Legion Enforcer|Made to stamp out divine casting. Gets divine SLAs|5|25|PF
PrC|Pure Legion Enforcer|Gets bonus to determine if a spell is divine, but there's no check to tell if a spell is arcane or divine to apply it to|5|25|PF

[nedz]

Thanks — tables updated.

OK — time to catch up with Thread 6.

[Kurald Galain]

So, are existing entries in the handbook still open to discussion?

I'm asking because I came across the entry for "Brawler-Exemplar", which reads "Grants Teamwork feats gained from Martial Flexibility. Martial Flexibility can't grant Teamwork feats". This is actually not the case: while Martial Flex gives combat feats, there are numerous feats which count as both combat and as teamwork at the same time. So yes, Martial Flex can grant teamwork feats.

Absolutely: if an error has been made — however if you are arguing about the original definition then it should go in the current main thread. The original post was here.

Ed:
if the error is in the handbook description then I will pick that up in the next update; speaking of which I'm going to grab pages 6-10 next.

[Gadora]

OK — I'm going to do the compositing now.

I'm going to change
Combat|TWF|Undefined for most ranged weapons, including slings|4|49|3.PF
to
Combat|TWF|Undefined for most ranged weapons|4|49|3.PF
Shout if this is wrong and I'll fix it.

On the note of errors in the handbook, this error is still there. Slings are still one of the handful of defined ranged weapons.

[Kurald Galain]

You know what would really help? If you turned the thread number and page number (in the list on the first page) into a hyperlink instead. That would make it much easier for people to go from this index to the discussion about a particular dysfunction. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes with a search/replace function to do this.

Oops — It will be fixed in the next update, I've just edited the .txt file.

That's a good idea — unfortunately

• It would break the size limits on the pages.
• Since there are 270+ pages: that's a lot of edits
• Some references cover multiple pages
• It's a lot of work for future references

[Kurald Galain]

[*]Since there are 270+ pages: that's a lot of edits[*]Some references cover multiple pages

You could link to the first page that covers it, just as most of the list does now.

It's only six edits actually. That's because all pages of a thread have a similar URL, e.g. www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?372964/page22 - that means that if you search/replace ||6|| (as in "thread 6") by "www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?372964/page", then something like ||6||15 (as in "thread 6 page 15") will automatically become www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?372964/page15 and so forth.

Note that even though the default URL for a thread is something like "372964-Dysfunctional-Rules-VI-Magic-Circle-Against-Errata", you actually only need the numerical part for it to work. HTH!

[nedz]

Well the actual format for the table entries is
[tr][td]Bleakborn(LM)[/td][td]Cannot be destroyed with HP damage[/td][td]2[/td][td]24[/td][td]3.5[/td][/tr]
the << || >> are just symbols I already edit.

So, specifying the match string is non-trivial.

Also, the space problems are non-trivial.

Snip...

This is not a bug, its a feature

[Zweisteine]

So... Is this thread still being updated? Or do we wait until the thread is done?

[The Viscount]

It's updated whenever a kind soul takes enough time to compile dysfunctions from the threads (which as you can see is not super often).

[Deepbluediver]

It's updated whenever a kind soul takes enough time to compile dysfunctions from the threads (which as you can see is not super often).

I did a few pages one time- the hardest part is figuring out how to describe often complex problems in less than a sentence in a way that still makes sense.

[nedz]

So... Is this thread still being updated? Or do we wait until the thread is done?

This thread is still being updated — it's just that I've been Ill and also out of the country. Also: it is meant to be crowd sourced, so don't complain, instead pick up five pages and summarise them.

OK — I'm going to pick up pages 11-15

Combat<<Catapults cannot shoot over walls||No indirect fire rules — LoS only||6||10-11||3.5>>

Yari of Air, Bo of Water and Tetsubo of Earth from Oriental Adventures (all 6 feet) and Moon Blade from Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (3 feet) are more examples of the "always #' long, no matter what size the weilder is" dysfunction covered in the last thread.


Octopus issues are covered under aquatics already — the problem is wider than you think.

[Jowgen]

Spot It's impossible to see the Sun, moon, stars, etc 1;2 2-5,21;2 3.5

This actually isn't a dysfunction, but an apparent dysfunction that is fixed by a very obscure rule; namely that light sources can be Spotted at 10/5 times their radius of bright/shadowy illumination (DC 20), or are automatically noticed at half that distance; provided they are respectively brighter than the ambient light. It's a rule that I've only ever seen spelled out very sporadically in obscure books (e.g. p. 73 of Cormyr -The tearing of the weave); but it does plug quite a big hole in the rules.

[Chronos]

That fixes the Sun and Moon, but not the stars.

[Troacctid]

That fixes the Sun and Moon, but not the stars.

Isn't starlight considered dim light? I vaguely remember something like that in the rules for low-light vision. That would put us within the illumination radius of the stars.

If we're not within the radius, we're at least within ten times the radius, which lets us see the stars with a DC 20 Spot check. Most people wouldn't have good enough eyesight to Spot every star in the sky, but that's normal and expected.

[nedz]

Erm, can you re-post the above three posts into the current dysfunctional rules thread please.
