The realization that you are no longer the target demographic for your hobby is always a hard one to take. ;)

I'm going to be playing an Artificer in a game that starts next week. We'll all be 7th level. At 1st level, we're all gestalt //fighter. After that, we level up in a single class only. This is for thematic reasons. Another player is going to play as a Maug (Fiend Folio) fighter. Maugs are...

If Artificer (or you know one), make an item of Alter Self. Then give to the target. They can then change into another creature of their type within one size category.

If you can swing it, playing a Wizard with spell points (from UA) is pretty much it. Swap out spells known each day, spend spell points as desired to cast whatever spell I need. No need to prep 3 fireballs. Prep one, but I can still cast it as long as I have the points. It's very nice.

You can't take a 2nd grade invocation with that feat at this level. The feat only allows selection from one grade lower than your highest grade invocation.

Well! That's what I get for posting a rule clarification based only on the data in the thread rather than the actual RAW. ;) So, yeah. If Mortalbane isn't typed, the EB would be affected by it. Good to know.

Probably because Eldritch Blast isn't an energy attack. It does not have an energy type (so no creature can reduce its damage based on their DR unless it's DR/-).

Hyp, but what about the lightning bolts it allows to be shot out? Should the target of those not benefit from its SR?

I tend to agree with Asmo. It's always been my interpretation that the "Object" in Polymorph Any Object was a seperate object. It may rest on or be held by something, but it is a seperate piece unto itself. In otherwords, I wouldn't allow you to polymorph a part of an object (part of the earth)...

Speaking of, does this also apply to items worn/held by people caught in the area of effect? If they take damage, do you start applying damage to all of their equipment? I've never played in a game where we did this. I'm just wondering if others do.

Why Lawful Evil? I noticed you mentioned using Earthen Grasp to aid your allies. You could be Chaotic Good (or Chaotic Neutral) if you prefer.

Nothing in the Invisibility spell descriptions specifically mention masking the magical auras. That said, Arcane Sight would only show you the aura, not the creature.

I would disagree that Warlocks don't have the firepower. They can blast away every round, all day long. The PrC-qualifying issue is definitely there, but it's nothing that can't be smoothed over with your DM and a houseruling.

Have you thought about going Fighter/Warlock? Warlocks have average BAB (better than sorc/warmage), can wear light armor, don't need reagents for their spells (so you don't need Quick Draw to empty your hands to grab reagents for a spell). They have limited powers, but you could focus on the...

ken-ichi, regarding #2, why the monk restriction? Any character can make an unarmed attack. Any character can take the Improved Unarmed Strike feat so as to do lethal damage. With a +6 BAB, they could attack twice a round.

If its only effect is to modify a natural attack, I'd count it as a natural weapon. It may not totally make sense, but just remember that Warforged tend to "break" a lot of rules.

Are you guessing or quoting the rules? If quoting, please provide the source. Otherwise, you're just guessing. Also, where in the SRD does it say that "no damage" equates with "--" and not "0 damage"?

None. But now we're comparing the net which can never do damage to the whip which can do damage. Also, doing damage is not part of my argument. That's yours. You'll have to convince me that the weapon has to do damage for the Flaming part to be able to affect the target. I propose that it does...

Where can I find reference to this in the SRD? And where can I find what you're refering to regarding the net and Str bonus? I reread both and don't see how they apply to the Flaming Whip issue.

Buh? I'm not following you. The SRD says that Flaming weapons deal 1d6 on a HIT. Nothing about "when damage is done, add 1d6 fire damage." Therefore, a Flaming weapon merely must contact the target for fire damage to be added. The weapon itself does not have to do any damage.
