Actually, against an animal with appropriate animal-level intelligence, they do precicely enough damage to prevent the predator from killing the wearer. Unless the predator is otherwise motivated: protecting territory, young, starving, etc - it sends a very clear message: Ow. My food is...

Three words: Saga of Ryzom.

Much though I might catch flak for referencing World of Warcraft... I actually very much like how they handled the conflict between the (elemental) Old Gods and the Titans in that setting. Very quintessential Law versus Chaos sort of thing.

An invisible, non-hostile ally with a weapon in hand, and who happens to be on the opposite side of an enemy from you grants you a flanking bonus, despite the fact that neither you, nor the enemy have any idea that he's there. An illusion of a menacing orc wielding an axe, who just happens to...

Bill: *sees Tom eating a bagel* Hey Tom, you get that from that new bakery down the street? Tom: *nods, munching away happily* Bill: How is it? Tom: *swallowing* Epic.

Suggestion to redeem Union: Union. The city. The entire city. Is alive. It's a transcendental pan-dimensional living entity. Ancient and alien but without malice. In fact the city itself is only marginally aware of its own existance, barely able to comprehend of the idea of things beyond...

I think therein lies the issue. They were the authority, but I definitely wouldn't say that they were the legitimate authority. They came to power by nefarious means, and used the authority they had in an abusive and selfish fashion. So you could easily have a situation where a paladin...

Gurps.

An Int of 1 or 2 means you're completely and utterly animalistic in your perception and understanding. You think of things in very basic, emotional terms. You are incapable of long-term planning and anything more than vague association. Party = family. Startling things are dangerous. Fight...

Tyr, as the god of justice, wouldn't care either way. He'd be fine with both answers. Justice was dealt with when the goblin raiders were killed for their transgressions. All that's being argued over here is how to deal with the corpses afterwards. The god wouldn't take sides. Both...

Simply put: Union kills achievement.

1. No. Rapid Shot does not work with an Eldritch Blast. 2. Yes. Quicken Spell-Like Ability would allow you to make one quickened eldritch blast, and one normal eldritch blast in a round a total of 3/day. The Eldritch Glaive blast shape invocation from Dragon Magic would allow you to use your...

I don't think I could make the ideological shift from being a mage that specializes in blowing stuff up to being a mage that serves rainbows. I don't care if they're actually coatl. I don't care if it's chock full of oodles of noodles of power. I just can't bring myself to do it.

True Strike - not a bard spell.

Dragon Disciple would be better for a Duskblade than it would be for a Sorcerer. Mind you, Dragon Disciple is egregiously horrible for a Sorcerer, so that's not exactly saying much. If your goal is to be a Duskblade, taking levels in Dragon Disciple would not be a particularly wise choice. If...

Bull Rushing a caster into his own swarm? Priceless.

Right. Exactly. Lorax nailed it, Corsair. The whole idea is that the possessor of the feat still gets their AoO, whether or not you cast defensively. As it stands now with Mage Slayer, the caster's action is impossible. Not "you can do it, but I'm hip to your tricks", but rather "you just...

Heh, and in all fairness, this is a devil we're talking about here. The particulars of contract law should be something it's already very, very familiar with. :p

Going by the default code of conduct for a paladin, they're in trouble if they ever willingly perform an evil act. They do not suffer the same fate if they ever willingly perform a chaotic one, insofar as that they don't do them on so regular a basis as to make themselves no longer Lawful Good...

+1 to hit w/ melee. +1 to damage. +1 to Str based skills (generally athletic). Increased carrying capacity. -vs- -1 to AC. -1 to reflex saves. -1 to initiative. -1 to hit w/ ranged. -1 to Dex based skills (and there are lots). Honestly, I'd say that yeah.. losing out on that dex does indeed...
