Something tells me that it won't be hard to find reference material on what is billed as the most legendary, singular monster in the world. Thus, it will be easy to fulfill the study requirement. Also, doesnt polymorph self (wild shape is "as polymorph self...") have a limiting factor that you...

The main reason I posted that is to show that the rules were needlessly complex :-P In the case of, say, an outsider (a 20th level monk, for example?), then it may not be that bad...+2 to all saves, 8+int skills, +1bab, d8 hp (if I remember correctly), and they would only need to use one level...

a "damage bonus" is not a type of bonus, as you can tell by looking at the table in the DMG/SRD (I don't have a page number...) that says the different types of bonuses. Also, epic feats are generally slightly more powerful than regular feats, so it stands to reason that epic focus would add a...

They definitely stack. In every other case of a feat that has multiple 'steps' there is something in the feat that tells whether the 'greater' version stacks or overlaps...see spell focus, etc. Also, if weapon focus only provided a +1 bonus to one weapon, it would be quite a bit underpowered...

Hm, I wonder if that means I can advance my character as a humanoid with advanced HD when I gain a level in order to get that crucial extra BAB point that brings me up to 4 attacks a round... (personally, I think that they could have done the epic bab stuff so much easier...double standards...

No, actually, Bluff does not make a person flat-footed. If it did, my Iaijutsu master would indeed be very happy. Flat-footed is a specific condition that happens only in very specific circumstances, and that inbludes not only denying your dex bonus to AC but also disallows one from making...

I was thinking of this same thing a little while ago, and a fellow player in my group pointed out that ghostwalker gets "superior iron will" at 3rd(?) level. This would also suggest that one cannot take iron will or other save feats several times.

Since you're talking about the daggers being force effects, you should mention if they affect incorporeal creatures or not.

I know very little about the ELH, but it was my impression that the x10 multiplier for bonuses over the norm was only for items that do just like the non-epic ones only with higher values. What I mean by this is that since the amulet doesn't add +12 to str at all times (that is, it takes a...

I believe that necromantic effects probably means death effects, the type that scarabs of protection and such protect from. That would be my guess, at least.

There sure do seem to be a lot of misconceptions about this out there... It all seemed pretty obvious to me when reading through the lycanthrope section a couple times. First of all, you don't even know you're a lycanthrope (unless you know what one is and knew that one was biting you and...

This is being done without books, but I do believe that if DR completely stops the damage from a weapon it also stops the associated effects of being hit with that weapon from happening. Examples are poison from a poisoned weapon or ability of a creature, and I suppose that a flaming weapon...

I'm pretty sure that spellswords from FR (magic of faerun?) work against any level spell, and at only a +1 bonus too. Otherwise...ready actions, grapple, kill him before he gets a chance, get SR, have your party help you out.....there's plenty of things you can do.

Or you can convert the higher level spell slots into magic missiles (I'm pretty sure this is explicitly stated in the rules...if it isn't, it's definitely not overpowered, as you really are losing efficiency by turning one 2nd level slot into one 1st level slot)...so a 10th level sorc (with no...

You know, there is a magic item in the DMG that adds more than +6 to a stat....sword of kas adds a +10 to str, and technically it is a magic item... :D

I had a rogue3/sorc9 (i think thats what she was at the time, at least) who once did 12 points of damage to a red dragon with a ray of frost. It was pretty rad.

Well, I have no idea what Roland is arguing here, but let me address the part about using rarity as a balancing factor... I believe I mentioned that it was rare once, and it was in listed along with several other things that actually are balancing factors. Rarity was not ment to be an...

Pick Pockets is most definitely not the skill to use here. Pick Pockets is all about surreptitiously lifting small (no larger than a hat or loaf of brad, according to the PHB) objects from people who don't notice you before you actually lift them. I would allow a rogue to lift a dagger from...

Then a) if it's a different bonus, why doesn't it stack? It says that it doesn't in the description, but it also says "other enhancement bonuses"..does that not mean that this is an enhancement bonus as well, and therefore bypasses DR? (the answer, by the way, is yes) and b) if it were a...

...and if the sage read the books and/or was consistent, then that might actually matter ;-)
