Where are you getting the idea that the bear has rage just from being a bear? The SRD description has no such entry. Only badgers and wolverines get rage as far as I know. If you're wondering about weapons for it, there's a weapon enhancement in Lords of Madness called Mouthpick, which is a...

And why do you feel that your interpretation should be the only one used? Because your own experiences, opinions, and interpretations trump others'? Such hubris! If there can be multiple different, but possibly correct, interpretations of a rule then saying one of them is "RAW" is meaningless...

Boosting stats by an odd number isn't much of a problem. Artificers themselves are more of an issue depending on how you run things. I personally ban them because they're too much of a headache for me. If you're going with the odd boosts, keep in mind the equation to get the price for it is...

Pixie will definitely make for some interesting possibilities, particularly because Wild Shape works like Alternate Form, which means you'll still be able to use Greater Invisibility even while Wild Shaped. The bonus to mental stats is also quite significant.

Note that the Sizing enhancement is from MiC, while the Opposable is from Masters of the Wild. Opposable will only work for certain wild shape forms though since it requires being able to stand without using the limbs wielding the weapons, plus it requires having some sort of capable limb or...

For the feat to really be meaningful it would indeed need to allow taking more than a single 5 foot step in a round, especially since it might not be clear if taking a 5FS during your own turn prevents you from taking the 5FS instead of an AoO during the opponent's next turn, or if it's okay to...

It doesn't. Just because something has AC doesn't mean it stops anything. The abstraction is that the attack roll and AC interaction is meant to represent both the defender's skill and luck in defending as well as the attacker's skill and luck in attacking. Missing one of the illusions might...

The catch is you must actually attack one to tell if it's an illusion, which means an attack roll. The rules don't allow you to just slice down the middle of a square and hope to go through all the illusions. I suppose making an AoE attack against the square might work though such as with a...

The earliest possible way I know of to get Frozen Wild Shape is by taking the Mulhorandi Divine Minion template and then take three different classes that each have a good Will save progression. Getting up to cryohydra territory is much more difficult since it requires being able to wild shape...

It's still useful to ask though because some fast progression classes like Ur-priest and Divine Crusader can be entered before 10, and thus their casting could be taken further than the game was meant to support..

If you want to show him the exact rule in the book then it's page 312 in the Monster Manual under Natural Weapons.

The rules for natural weapons specifically say that they do not gain extra attacks on a full attack from BAB. The exact wording is "Creatures do not receive additional attacks from a high base attack bonus when using natural weapons." I'd recommend going into a tiger or something similar if...

I'd say it depends on the table. Some players want to think deeply and explore such things as alignment and what it means to be a certain alignment within the context of the game. Others might just want guidelines given to them to have a reasonable idea of where to put up boundaries for...

I wouldn't exactly call skirmish "good damage." It's half the effectiveness of sneak attack, and there are many ways to get SA to work well for range unless your party has several people with Uncanny Dodge. But if it would be considered good damage for your purposes then we can definitely do...

What specific abilities (or lack of abilities on part of the players) make scout a good choice against this group? If it's in a natural setting then the camo and HIPS would work and then you can do a ranged build with Greater Many Shot to get skirmish on every arrow and allow shooting at...

You want a pure scout with nothing else like ranger levels for Swift Hunter, even without spells? What sort of thing do you want the scout able to do? Or is 18th level specifically for the permanent extraordinary Freedom of Movement?

As is somewhat common, the wording could use a bit of tweaking to fully convey the intent, even so that people who tend to nitpick on the rules know exactly what's going on and there can be no misunderstanding. Perhaps the wording should be something along the lines of "this modifies each...

Don't bother with the bowstaff. There's a weapon modification in Races of the Wild page 166 called Elvencraft, which allows treating a longbow as a quarterstaff or a shortbow as a club. There's no action needed to change between melee or ranged since the description specifically says the user...

I mostly agree with Vege on this. The original 3.0 rules were very questionable to me because any race that's going to be crafting a weapon for itself is going to make a proper weapon designed to be used by something of its size, not some potentially unbalanced length of steel meant for...

Of course a chamberlain won't be impressed by a character's ability to belch the alphabet. What kind of hyperbole are you trying to get at? It's not just any kind of skill that will do, and the social contract between players and the DM is that players won't try to force ridiculous things like...
