Greetings, I have just finished creating my first Seeker using the Character Builder and I am a little confused about the output. I understand that it has issues here and there with certain things (I noted it ignored my Primal Eye feat), however my question is one closer to the basics of...

Greetings, just a quick question regarding auras - more specifically those auras that are subtle in effect rather than overtly damaging. Players are told/supposed to know when a creature is bloodied, or when a creature is a minion as far as I understand it. But how about auras? When a player...

Greetings, does anyone have comments on this item. It is beginning to become "the item" for everyone in the party I am currently DM-ing for and I can see it becoming bothersome since monsters will not be able to handle the (essentially) 150% hit points that come from the cloak. True for most...

Greetings, not sure if this is a rules question or not since it stands across two things from my perspective. The 4.0 rules indicate that monsters should not be allowed to use the magical items in the treasure packets assigned to their encounter for balance reasons. I can understand this and...

Q1. I was just reading the Craft skill to check the Craft(Alchemy) specifics. It states in the little table that you need to be a spellcaster to create Alchemical items (Alchemist's Fire, Sunrod, etc). Nowhere are the "components" of such items listed, but I would assume that spells are...

I previously posted a thread on Shields and Aura usage, and I was reading over some of the Shield based options available to characters. I thus came across Phalanx Fighting in Complete Warrior, p103 As I read this, I had the following issue come to mind (assuming Heavy Shields and Light...

Greetings, I was having a discussion with a member of my playgroup this evening and we somehow found ourselves talking about Shield Brothers and Auras. The first query would be: how much could someone abuse Aura classes? For example if a party consisted of 4 separate Aura using characters such...

Greetings, I've not been keeping up with my D&D or roleplaying forums for a long long time. I've been too busy with work and new baby. Only tonight at a d20 Modern game I run did one of my players inform me about 4e and I was surprised since the last time I was online in regards to d20 there...

Greetings, Just wondering about the bloodstorm blade's returning ability and the cost to activate it. Do you expend a maneuver everytime you throw a weapon you want return to you or do you expend a maneuver at the start of combat to turn a single weapon into a returning one for the duration? TIA

Greetings, reading this specific maneuver, it looks like a standard charge action (with the +2 to hit bonus) but with the -2 AC penalty. Is that all the maneuver allows (for a 4th level maneuver it's pretty weak)? Or have I read it correctly and it ignores terrain thus allowing a charge with...

In the Shaman class, one of the abilities is Spirit Animal(?) or something similar (no book in front of me right now). The power allows you to become a larger version of your animal companion. The flavour text makes the implication that you are merging with your animal companion, however it...

Greetings, normally when a spell caster manufactures a magic item etc, they may have a "guest" cast the required spells for them. Would this also hold true for Craft Contingent Spell? For example can a Wizard with the feat have a cleric cast a spell for him? TIA

With the errata on Leap Attack (+100% of bonus from Power Attack) instead of x3, does that mean that if I have a BAB+6 and I am using a 2-handed weapon, and I use it all for Leap Attack, I get +24 damage or +18? Because the way it is worded goes something like this: Power Attack you double...

Okay, Inherited Templates must be applied at first level. No problems there. You choose the base race, for example Human. Does a "new" creature with the template gain the human bonuses? So for example a Half-Dragon human ... does it have the +1 feat? The +1 skill point? Or does it lose those...

Greetings All, unfortunately with the ENWorld accident I don't know if there were any replies etc to my previous post. So here goes again. I would like to know what kind of pricing a magic item that gives a bonus on Knowledge skill checks would be like. All Knowledges in this case. I was...

Just a quick headsup to fellow Mac Users. Although I'm not a regular PCGen user, I've tested it with the new Java now downloadable for Tiger. Nothing seems to be wrong with it. Speed changes are negligible if any. To use the new version, change the pcgen.sh file to execute the Java engine...

Greetings, just say I manifest Empathic Transfer to transfer wounds from an ally to myself. Does this classify as taking damage? Specifically, if I have already activated Share Pain, Forced (target is forced to share damage with me), would the Empathic Transfer hurt them as well? D

Greetings, Evasion lets you save for no damage from a Reflex based effect. I think Mettle does this for Fortitude. Is there one for Will? And are any of these available as feats? D

I've never used this feat before or even considered using it, so I really do not understand its operation. In the case of a magic missile for example cast by an 8th level Wizard (4 missiles) ... normally it is 4d4+4 ... and empower version would be 4d4 + 6? 4d4 + (1/2 of 4d4 roll) + 6? 4d4 +...

The name of the feat implies you need to forgo all possessions and walk around with basically the clothes on your back, however the strict description in the book implies it is only a denial of magical items. Which is it? Okay strictly speaking as a DM I wouldn't let anyone walk around in...
