    Marshal auras and other class abilities

    I'll elaborate a bit. It doesn't state any specific action needed for a marshal to continue to power his auras, so none should be needed. Yes, because they are two separate class's abilities that don't contradict each other (except in the event of stacking bonuses, though). A marshall has (ex)...

    Transmuting weapon [MIC]

    It first appeared in the Miniatures Handbook (for any on the thread that own that but not the MIC). Quite possibly. Sure striking (alignment) is +1, & metalline (materials) is +2. Transmuting is both of these & more, with a one-round delay.

    Magic Of Incarnum?

    What other classes have to deal with this choice? I can't think of any off the top of my head, so having to choose between your best class abilities or most slotted magic items (which constitute a larger & larger percentage of a character's power as he increases in level) is not a fair trade...

    Magic Of Incarnum?

    I like the idea behind the book as well, but I can tell why I won't use it: bound soul-melds take up item slots. So, an incarnum character's major class abilities preclude the use of lots of standard magic items. Combining it with VoP on the other hand...

    Practiced Spellcaster + Artificer

    I agree with Vegepygmy. An artificer's ability to create magic items is based on his class level, not his infuser level. And that's even if there was a Practiced Infuser feat that mirrored Practiced Spellcaster.

    Improved Buckler Use feat?

    The buckler description itself (PHB, page 124) states, "You can also use your shield arm to wield a weapon (whether you are using an off-hand weapon or using your off hand to help wield a two-handed weapon), but you take a -1 penalty on attack rolls while doing so because of the extra weight on...

    Best Psionic Discipline to Fulfill Two Criteria

    Still going over the powers to see which work fine w/out needing to be augmented (& that aren't duplicating divine spells), but thanks for all the input.

    Best Psionic Discipline to Fulfill Two Criteria

    The last sentence of the ability ("If a monastic servant is or becomes a psion, she must choose the same discipline.") implies (to me), that only the powers on the specific discipline list would be gained; when a psion normally chooses his discipline, he gains access to those powers on the...

    Best Psionic Discipline to Fulfill Two Criteria

    Bacris, You're familiar with the PrC, yes? How do you think the ability for it to choose one discipline should work? I'm of the mind that the character would only gain the powers listed soley on the discipline lists (so, only about 15-20 powers), not all powers in the discipline (so none that...

    Best Psionic Discipline to Fulfill Two Criteria

    So it look's like psychometabolism, psychoportation or telepathy? Boosting body, boosting movement or boosting mind? All three which cleric spells aren't exactly renowned for (& so would be useful). Well, since that's cut the choices in half (at least), now I just need to go over their...

    Best Psionic Discipline to Fulfill Two Criteria

    (Yes, hooray for Auppenser. I'm playing, or starting to play an arcane gish in FR, yet I keep coming up with psionic character builds I wanna' try.) It's not for an existing character, but just a build I'm tinkering with, perhaps as a back-up character. The tentative build would result in (at...

    Best Psionic Discipline to Fulfill Two Criteria

    Which psionic discipline would be the best for: A. Having the most useful powers that can't/don't need to be augmented; & B. Having the most useful powers that a cleric could use. ? In relation to why, there's a semi-official FR PrC for psionic clerics that adds a discipline's powers to the...

    M&M Magic rules

    The Magic power costs 2pp/rank. So, if you have Magic 10, then it costs 20pp. However, when you buy magic it initially comes with a base power. Examples are given under the power description. That base power's rank is determined by how many pp Magic has. With Magic 10, you have 20pp to determine...

    Buckler plus 2h-weapon

    Just an FYI, in the latest issue of Dragon (#357), the Sage answers this question. Does the feat apply to wielding a two-handed weapon? His words: "Not according to a strict reading of the feat's description." Thank gawd the Sage is only reading the feat description, & not the write-up of the...

    Are there DR/untyped monsters?

    Yeah, I figured that was the RAW, since you had stated it. ;) (I just disagree, is all.)

    Are there DR/untyped monsters?

    So a giant throws a boulder/rock at the target & DR applies, but a boulder/rock falls on the target & it doesn't?
