    Bracers of Striking part 2 (no flaming please)

    They are not considered double weapons, they are priced as double weapons. Bracers (two of them) are one item slot. You do not buy one Boot of Speed, they come as a set. Astlin

    Bracers of Striking part 2 (no flaming please)

    In the Monk section of the PH under Flurry of Blows there is no mention of this for unarmed attacks. It does add rules for monk weapons: "If armed with one such weapon, she makes the extra attack either with that weapon or unarmed." So if I can use Flurry of Blows with one Kama, why can't I...

    Bracers of Striking part 2 (no flaming please)

    IMO yes. A Monk with 5 attacks using unarmed strilke is still only using one natural weapon. Eight body parts are mentioned in the PH, but they are all used interchangably without benefit or restriction. If I wanted to attack my opponent five times with my left elbow, there is nothing in the...

    Bracers of Striking part 2 (no flaming please)

    Re: Re: Re: Bracers of Striking part 2 (no flaming please) Because that is what it says to do in the book? :) Hmm, I think it would be for balance reasons. It would be nice if they had the single weapon cost, but I can live with the MoF price. Astlin

    Bracers of Striking part 2 (no flaming please)

    No no. Flaming hands was just the image that I had in my mind. IIRC The bracers give you the bonus to all unarmed (natural weapon?) attacks. Astlin

    Bracers of Striking part 2 (no flaming please)

    Is to. :D A +5 Flaming/Screaming/Shocking kama does 4d6 and costs 30k less than the Amulet. (is there errata that I missed that says elemental effects do not stack?) With this weapon, I would get all of my attacks including any Flurry of Blows that I wished to perform. I do not want to use a...

    Bracers of Striking part 2 (no flaming please)

    An Amulet of Magic Fang +5 would cost (3*15*2000) 90,000gold. It is even cheaper if you make it twice per day at 15hours per shot, but that is a bit munchkin for me. I do not even mind paying the double-weapon cost of the Bracers of Striking (101,310). It makes sense in a balance way and I...

    Is disarm useless?

    No, not by a long shot: "If the weapons are different sizes, the opponent with the larger weapon gets a bonus on the attack roll of +4 per difference in size category. " Hands are Tiny weapons. Worst case would be trying to disarm someone with a large two-hand weapon. +16 to your opponents...

    Speed Enchantment and Two Weapon Fighting

    IIRC...If you swing a speed weapon, you get another attack with it. If you have one in your off hand, you have to swing your off hand weapon (ie full attack) in order to get the benefit. IMO speed is way too expensive to be putting on an off hand weapon. Astlin

    Monk and Boots of Striding and Springing.

    Thanks. I was confusing supernatural with magical. Astlin

    Monk and Boots of Striding and Springing.

    I figure this has been covered before, but for the life of me, I can't find it. You are a Monk and you have boots of striding and springing. At 8th level your movement is 100 (50 doubled). At 9th is your movement: A) 100 (twice your non-magical speed) B) 60 (your speed is now magic and does...

    Jump question

    "since I dont think you can effectively tumble and jump at the same time" I keep seeing this, but have yet to see a rule that would back it up. Having 5 ranks in jump gives you a synergy bonus to tumble, and 5 ranks in tumble gives you a synergy bonus to jump. It says that the skills...

    Favored Enemy Bonuses Stack?

    The Chr bonus is a named bonus. If I were to take Paladin and and another class that let you add Chr to your saves, I would only get to add it once. This PRC is a special case, not a presedent. I realy do not think that a +5 bonus in a very rare instance at epic levels is absurd. If he has...

    Favored Enemy Bonuses Stack?

    In the description, it does not name the bonus. The bonuses should stack. Astlin

    Jump question

    A frog does not run in the same way as a human. Even at full bore the things are just creaping along on the ground. If you wanted to break down the way a frog moves into DnD terms, you would simply give them a split movement rate. Treat it just like they do flying and swimming movement. Now...

    magic weapon made of stone..

    How was it intended when it was made? Was it made for ceremony or use? If it was made for combat in a magic civilization (common DnD world) then there is no reason it would be weaker than any other +1 weapon. It being made of jade is just ambiance. If it is a ceremonial weapon then yes...

    BoEM2 question

    First level. It would be silly to have a damage spell sitting on your list that was not going to do any damage for another 2 levels. 2d4. I think it would go like 1d4 at 1st and +1d4 at 3, 6, 9 and 12th. It has to do something at 1st, when you get access to it. It needs to advance on...
