Is it possible to use a hero point to get a +8 when you are taking 20? My group is saying no (they claim that since you know what the roll is you can not use a hero point to get +8). But they think that you can use the hero point to get a +4. I was curious if any of you have come across this before.

I have tried to see if a thread on this is already going but I dont seem to be able to find one.

My questions is do regular mounts (Horses) gain exp? I was leveling my fighter today and I was wondering if his horse would gain exp as well. Or does it just stay a regular war horse and not gain any more HP and other goodies? My character is just a regular fighter, who has skills in animal handeling and is decent in riding as well.

Thanks for the help all.

Greetings all, I hope this question has not been brought up before (I did a search but was not able to find anything that helped) but I am not 100% sure of a situation. I have a character that going the route of a shield and bastard sword expert. The thing that I am confused about is the wording of the feat "Shield Master." It states that you do not suffer any penalties on attack rolls made with a shield when wielding another weapon. Would the character still suffer penalties with the primary weapon (Bastard sword), or is there no attack roll penalties with the sword as well? From the wording it would seem that the character would still suffer attack roll penalties with the sword, but none at all with the shield.

Thank you.
