<p>I do think more talking about how to make 'Timer + Reactive NPCs + multiple sequential encounters' would be useful for higher level play when there is some balance.</p>Guys the barb is on a dire bat (flying, blindsense) and prismatic sphere is centered on the wizard, so if two balors, one human enter, no human leave, that would suggest that int may have been a dump stat for the wizard. Also, he already said he killed you, so you lost. Caps lock beats logic.

It say's if you hit someone with a concealed weapon in the surprise round they take max damage. A surprise round only allows a standard or move action. Even with Quick Draw you can only draw a hidden weapon as a move action. </p>
<p>So does that mean the concealed and hidden are the same term, thus making this pretty useless unless you take the bandit archetype. Or is concealed just flavor text that means a weapon that you don't spend your standard action telling your enemies about, but instead hit them with it.</p>How is this talent supposed to work?

Dual means two, fighters have two hands, and a barbarian is only one man, two is better then one, ergo, Fighters are better then Barbarians. I just blew your mind there, didn't I?
<p>On a different, less insane note, I have a CAGM/pounce/superstition barb that I am playing with a TWF who's well over wealth by level, and has crazy stats, and have had the chance to totally outdamage him, to out survive him, and amusingly enough make the save vs Mass Hold Person which he failed last week. I'm totally digging being the once and future combat king.</p>Kaiyanwang wrote:Mike Schneider wrote: Quote:his makes barbarians and paladins well made, and fighters needing a fix.
