    Artificers Overpowered?

    The only ability everyone in my group is against is the ability to make a scroll of any spell in the game. It's just nonsense, as many spells are hard to find, rare, unique or just secret research. Thus, we used a house rule that states the artificer must have access to a given spell before...

    Can you tell me if this character is too powerful?

    It's not Japanese, it's Indian. You can see a photo here http://www.koftgariart.com/a1001.htm I assume the Dastana and other accesories such as the Chahar-aina are added to a simple armor (light?) to make it better; you can rule it increases armor by filling up empty spaces (probably it cannot...

    Can the Psionic Weapon feat be used with a touch power?

    No. You can use it with "Psionic Fist", but only if holding the charge (and thus makin it with a melee attack instead of a melee touch attack). You can also use the Graft weapon power and use either Psionic Fist or Psionic Weapon to enhance your attack (and mix in any touch attack power as...

    Monks, disarming and spring attack.

    It's a nice technique to grab holy symbols from priests (so they can't cast) or component pouches from wizards/sorcerers also.

    Q Regarging Augmented Animals and Fighter Feats

    No; also, augmented animals or magical beasts do not gain class level HD, only its own kind of animal / magical beast HD (and do not gain fighter bonus feats). If ir is awakened, the issue could be discussed, although it's logic that a fightershould be able to wield weapons and wear armor...

    Human Monks can take Improved Natural Attack?

    I voted no, since it is a feat designed for monsters (it appears in the Monster Manual); I suppose only the designers can give a correct clarification on the issue, but I feel the feat was intended for monster's natural weapons (claws, bite, etc) and not unarmed attacks.

    5 foot step for big and small?

    Stepping more than 5' creates rules balance issues; maybe it COULD be done for really large cratures, but not using reach as a guide; You could use tiny/fine/etc = none small/medium/large = 5' huge/gargantuan = 10' colossal = 15' Using movement rate as a guide makes monk the almost only class...

    Monk's Belt and Tattoo compatibility

    See also a Monk Weapon (some nunchakus made with bones) in the "Weapons of Legacy"; damage as a monk 4 or 5 levels higher, if I remember correctly. So if you can gather all the sources for monk bonuses, you would onlyneedto be a lv2 monk to have some benefits of a lv20 monk :)

    Psychic claws

    Maybe that's right, but I believe there is another statement in the Expansion power that reads "Other psionic or magical properties are not affected by this power". Now that I think it over, it could mean Polymorph or Claw of the Beast cannot be augmented by this power... Allthough a common...

    5 Foot Step "no action"

    It doesnn't matter which kind of action the 5-foot step action is, the PHB clearly states you can only take it during your turn. The "no action" type is only a means to say you don't give up anything by performing it. The only kind of action that can take place out of your round are "immediate...

    Magic missile and SR?

    When deling with spells that affect multiple targets (magic misslite, fireball, chain lightning) either because they are in the spell's area or because there are multiple targets, you can either roll SR for each affected creature or roll once for all. Since the check is performed by the caster...

    Expanded Psionics Handbook

    You can always have the Psicristal Containmet feat, which allow you to have TWO psionic focuses, the extra one provided by your psicristal. Since this second focus works the same as your own, you can stay focused even when expending your focus to activate other powers/feats (or you could expend...

    Concentration Combinations

    If I remember correctly, there is an item that gives +10 to concentration in the Expanded Psionic Handbook (Third Eye of something)

    The warforged, restoration, and you

    What a mess; this reminds me of an old story about someone who tried to reduce by half the sentences of all prisoners in a prison. The problem arose with life sentences. Since no solution was found, they just gave less strict treatment to those serving life sentences. What I mean is, there is...

    A weapon, which is both magic and psionic. Possible?

    If magic and psionics are NOT different, psionics are just another kind of magic, so you should be able to make a +1 Keen Collision sword as a +4 weapon (+1 enhancement, +1 keen and +2 Collision); that would be 32000 + masterwork weapon. Just as you mix divine and arcane properties, you should...

    Starting Money

    Just use whatever class is nearest in concept for starting money; Samurai - Paladin (based on principled characters, with someone behind them) Swashbuckler & Hexblade - Fighter (based on fighting techniques) WuJen - Wizard (based on magic by studying) Warlock - Sorcerer (based on inherent...

    Reincarnate - What's your favored class?

    I'd say it's still wizard, since his mindset and education shaped him that way.

    Psychic claws

    I am playing a Human Psychic Warrior 18 / WarShaper 1 (got Metamorphosis with a feat at lvl 15 for the prestige prerequisites) His combat style has been based on "Claws of the Beast " from the beggining, and he currently does 5d6 per claw (spending 19PPs with the Overchannel feat) The table...
