In what situation do you need to cast feather fall in addition to your other spells? If you get thrown off a cliff by someone else, you use your action next turn (not like you can really use that move action is it) or if you jump off yourself you have a attack action to do it. Even then, its not like feather fall is a spell that must be cast in the first turn of a fall... if it only takes a turn to fall down you don't need the spell to begin with.

Foolish mortals.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Ya, the minature book will have been out 2 years in June.  

I don't care if you state why swift action is there, or even like it.  I just think it's important to note it's not new with this book.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

What other RPG books is it in? Because, if, like me, they role play but don't wargame, they won't know about swift actions if it's not in the RPG books.

It was heavely featured in the Psionics Handbook, which I mentioned in my previous posts, and is in all the complete X books.

Yeah, it's been around for a while.

You know you are a hardcore gamer if... you need a book on roleplaying humans.

I was thinking the Illumians would be cool for the Ancients in our one campaign (the same one SE played with us).

I like the Initiate feats.  They give a bonus along with adding some spells to the cleric spell list for the different human gods, although there was no Initiate feat for Heironeous.  So I guess my thief is out of luck.

Hmm...would a book on roleplaying humans be an aid when it came to getting a date?

The only book that will consistantly get you dates is a checkbook.

On the contrary, a book on palms is quite succesful at helping to find dates.
