Chun Tzu: I think you might be right... I think that PrC might be The Frenzied Berserker from DotF ;)

Furn, have you picked up a copy of the ELH yet? One of the templates in the book is pretty much that exact same thing. A lich made up of worms and maggots. (IIRC it was called the Wormkin or something.)

IIRC, the sage (may he rest in peace) clarified that the Arm was supposed to give an enhancement bonus. If it isn't, then the bonus stacks with all other bonuses not from the same source. IMO, having two different arms would be no different from having the same spell cast on you twice (and...

Wow, that must have been a really nice DM to let you bring a laptop with a network cable to the game so you could keep posting. ;)

And your preference might even matter if you ever got off the boards long enough to actually play a game. :D ;)

Even worse are the animals listed in the ECL article in Dragon. Several of the animals (I can remeber the squirrel and the monkey off the top of my head) were listed as ECL +0. This isn't too bad when you look in the MM and see all the minuses they get. Unfortunately, the article specfically...

Just so you know. The stuff about the ELH will probably become official errata. The stuff that BRC corrected violates both balance and what was intended by the authors, so wotc will change it. The stuff that I posted about the Psi classes, will never be changed by wotc. As far as they are...

BRC's Statements about epic Psi A link to BRC's updated Psi PrCs

First off, I'm going to assume that you are using the updated Metamind that BRC posted on Malhavoc. The updated MM didn't have caster level increasing at every level of the PrC, you might want to change that. However, IIRC, there wasn't any predictable pattern to the +1 caster levels. Also...

As I was reading the ELH, I noticed that the Mace of Ruin deals extra damage on a critical hit to constructs "as if they were living creatures." The question I had was whether or not this would allow a rogue to deal sneak attack damage to a golem. Basically, it comes down to whether or not...

I'm pretty sure that it falls under the same category as crits. Critters that are immune to crits still suffer the critical hit, they just don't take any extra damage from it. The same would apply to sneak attacks. The rogue can SA the heck out of a golem, the golem just doesn't suffer any...

If you look in S&F, they have something that is thematically similar. I can't recall the name of it off the top of my head, but it was a spear that had a string that wrapped around it to make it fly better. If the character took the time to properly wrap the spear, then the weapon acted like...

IIRC, one of the "official" guys said something to the effect that characters should be allowed a listen check with a -20 to notice that something is going on. IMC, it's just considered to be a survival trait. If you can sleep through a goblin raid, then the odds you survived level one are...

LOL!!!

The only potential problem I can see with it is that it opens the door for spontaneous meta-magic without increasing the casting time.

jaults: SKR: I think that not publishing the book because Poly had decided to write up the world as a MiniCS would qualify as a "stupid, stupid reason."

The monks UBAB and BAB are completely seperate. When making an attack unarmed or with one of the special monk weapons, the character may use whichever he prefers. When making attacks with any weapon that isn't described as a special monk weapon, the character must use his BAB. In both...

Emphasis added by me. That is the only rule in the books concerning it. It really isn't a very good one, and I have never heard of anyone requiring that it be made. If you feel like house ruling it, then just change it to the same DC as a concentration check.

Ridley's Cohort: But all abilities are combat abilities. Str helps just about everyone, Dex helps just about everyone, Con helps everyone, Wis helps monks and divine spellcasters, Int helps the Rogue and the Wizard, and Cha helps the Rogue and spontaneous casters. A better question is...

I think what you are looking for is Circumstance Bonuses. While the sorceror can attempt to Bluff on anything, and even have a chance for success, anything that falls under the DM's interpretation of what a character has heard about before will recieve some large bonuses to the SM roll (like...
