Thanks, I suppose it's reasonable; yet, the "even if..." statement may lead some people to think it can work in other situations other than those described (flat-footed, struck by invisible creatures). The only case it specifically states when the ability doesn't work is the immobilized state.

The uncanny dodge ability, granted by barbarians and rogues make certain that you never lose your Dex bonus to AC, even when attacked by invisible creatures. This would seem that you cannot be sneaked except by flanking; Does this include feinting? It would be just too good, to be immune to...

As defined in the D&D glossary, http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/glossary&term=Glossary_dnd_rend&alpha= "If a creature with this special attack (extraordinary) hits with the specified natural attack, it latches onto the opponent's body and tears the flesh. A rend attack deals damage...

You can have more caster level if you just play a Wiz5/EK and use the "Militia" regional feat from Forgotten Realms (which gives all martial weapons proficiency).

Well, he can obtain the class at level 15; I suppose it's all right considering he has only 2 attacks; yet he counts with the rend ability gained by metamorphosing into a troll,wich is almost 2 attacks more. The issue started when we compared the wizard's damage at level 18 (20d6 with 2 extra...

It does no follow the sizing table exactly, since it addas a "5d6" step between 4d6 and 6d6; yet in the rare cases that it appeared, I used the standard table from 6d6 onwards If you already have claws (as when using the "Claws of the Beast" power, the Morphic Weapons ability AUGMENTS those...

I'm running a psionic-havy campaign, and some questions came up which require almost certainly house rules: The "Claws of the Beast" power in the Psionic Handbook is defined only for small, medium and large creatures. What would you house-rule for larger creatures? (huge, colossal, etc - i.e...

Sorry, I assumed he turned ethereal, as you were discussing ghost touch properties; didn't care to read the prestige :)

If the setting allows it, you can go for a good Wizard with the Rainbow Servant prestige (although it's a weird religion). I can't remember the prerequisites, but at 10th level the prestige allow you to cast all the cleric spells at your current wizard caster level. You lose 4 spell levels...

If a ghost picks up a ghost touch weapon (and he can, as it affects the ethereal), he can hurt normal beings because the weapon is in the material plane. If a ghost turns ethereal carrying his ghost touch sword to the ethereal, its usefulness is questionable, as force spells/weapons do not...

Good note; I'll try to bring it out when I play with my PsyWarrior. Does anyone know how to improve claws at epic levels?

You're late then; there are lots of things quite dynamic out there. The WarShaper prestige, for example, has a lot of abilities (if not all) that only work when he is in a form other than his own. A Druid has to keep track of his (different) animal shape statistics for battle; Polymorphing...

The Virtuoso uses the Perform skill result as a DC for spellcasters to succeed on a Concentration check to be able to cast.

I suppose it depends on your DM; many feel that these kind of requirements must be met without any kinds of enhancements. I would rule yes in this case, although for a more roleplaying solution I would see if the character usually fights with claws using any kind of power he has (it doesn't has...

I know, as I said, it's what I think is the intent of the spell. Call it a house rule, if you want, but it's the only sane thing I think can be done with this spell.
