May be a dumb question, but here goes...

Our Barbarian uses a Great Sword in combat. He also uses Javelins occasionally. Last play session he wanted to pull out a Javelin (which is a Move Action) and then throw it (Standard Action).

As the GM, I told him he couldn't do that because he would have to put away the Great Sword first, because it is 2-Handed. His argument is "well yes it is 2-handed, but that's just when swinging it, I don't ALWAYS hold it with 2 hands, that would just be ridiculous".

He kind of has a point, but instead of debating it all night, we went with my ruling until we could get some insight...so any insight?

So if a PC has decided to multi-Class, which chart do you use to determine when they get to make multiple attacks?

If a Wizard gets 2 attacks at level 11 (not sure if that's the actual level, just using it for example), and he has multi-classed to be a Cleric, and the cleric gets multiple attacks at level 9, how does that work?

Do they stack? Or do you just use the Preferred Class for determining number of attacks?

Ok, I am a little confused about how PF does Multiclassing now.

I understand that when you go up a level, you can choose to take the first level of another class, that part I got. The part I am confused about is when can you level up the second class?

Do you have to wait till your main class goes up a level again? Then you can choose to level up your second class to second level instead of taking the level in the main?

That seems to be the only way it makes sense to me, and I just wanted to make sure. In my younger years I pretty much didn't allow multiclassing, it just got out of control, but it looks a little more feasible in PF, so we are going to give it a try.

Thanks

I am a little confused about Monster Attack Bonuses listed in the Bestiary.

Let's use a goblin for example: In the offense section it says he gets Short Sword +2. The Goblin's BAB is +1.

So do you combine both bonuses when the Goblin Attacks? Or is the BAB included in the +2 bonus for the short sword?

Does that bonus next to a monters's attack include all the bonuses tghe creature gets? So I should judt be using that bonus? Thanks for the help.

Just getting back into the "D&D" rules after years of playing Warhammer, so a little rusty.
My question is: our Rogue (2nd level) successfully snuck behind a Dark Creeper and proceeded to initiate Sneak Attack, which he did successfully. If the target is completely unaware of the attacking Rogue, why wouldn't he be able to just kill the creature outright?
Is this something that is just DM's discretion? I understand if you catch a large creature completely unaware, that you still might not be able to kill it (especially since the character is a Halfling), but what about normal man sized creature? Or even just people in general?
Any good house rules for this?
