Sounds like your DM needs a swift kick to the head. If he's going to go against the spirit of the rules like he's doing (well, he's really just breaking them, but that could be debated) he should give you a chance to defend yourself. This includes: availability of shield spells, magical items...

Taking 10 takes the standard amount of time. The extra time is specifically in the Take 20 passage because it only affects attempts to Take 20. That's how I see it anyway.

+1... alright, I could see that. +2 is strongly pushing it. +3 is just too much. Useful for NPC's who want to do one specific thing. Much much less useful for PC's. The level adjustment would just mean it wouldn't be used all that much.

What AuraSeer said. Alien wouldn't work too well either though. A lot of people understand it as extra-terrestrial creatures, but like the term Outsider, it all depends on your point of reference. You'd be running into the same problems, with the added effect of it sounding more Sci-Fi to some...

Heheh. Very nice.

I agree with the spell trigger and spell completion ruling, but command word? Ugh. I really don't agree with that one part. It just takes it that step too far.

Defenders of the Faith wasn't created with the Epic Level Handbook in mind. So I'd ignore all material within the ELH when considering the feat. The DMG breaks its own "rule" on the limit of the enhancement bonuses with the Sword of Kas. Granted, that is a major artifact, so I guess it's to be...

Nope.

Edit: Bleah. Beaten. I figured out why what I had written wasn't working though. Forgot to actually round down with fractions.

Mmmmmmmm, BRRAAAAAIIIIINNNNSSSSS!!!!!! Strictly speaking, there's no rule that something has to be intelligent to make trip or disarm actions. Afterall, wolves have a special ability related to tripping and they've only got an Int score of 2. Yeah, skeletons are completely brain-dead... (for...

I don't think an official one has been made. If you're lucky you'll find one online that works well. Otherwise, just follow your instincts.

Edit: Alright... thought against posting the hijack continuation... Me wishes there was a thread that hadn't been beaten to death.

Also: very minor mathematical nitpick. Minimum cost to add Heavy Fortification to armor is 35,000 gp. (6^2*1000 = 36,000. 1^2*1000 = 1000. 36,000 - 1000 = 35,000, not the 34,000 as Hypersmurph posted. Sorry.) Edit: Beaten to quoting Monte. Drat.

I'm not sure, exactly. I thought no, at first, because the spontaneous casting is listed separately from the spells. But so are all of things about domains, and as far as I know Ghaeles and others get domains too, albeit in a different way from clerics. Blech. So, I'm inclined to say yes but I...

Agreed, since it's putting the power of a minor artifact (once every other day) into a shield. Can anyone do a price breakdown of it?

Why not? It has a fixed range and doesn't get discharged (the entire spell isn't, unless I'm misreading it). The maximized version wouldn't be eligible right now, but a normal version would be.

Re: Re: Alter Self - fight with 4 weapons? Hmm. An easy (and cheesy) way to be able to wear a shield or two. Get one with a low enhancement bonus with a bunch of resistances and bonuses, and another with a high enhancement bonus. Just imagine the stares though. Four arms in semi-normal...

I don't believe there's any listed price for permanent ironwood items. My suggestion is to either a) allow it to be affected by the permanency spell at a cost of 3000 XP or b) treat it as a magical item. b) will be more expensive but has the bonus that it can't be permanently dispelled. (Note...

AC only. The rules from page 141 clear this up. Then look at the example of Mialee on page 142 of the PHB.

Ow... I haven't laughed that hard for a while. What's sad is I think it's so funny because it's so very very true. (The feat being useless, that is.)
