Inanimate Green Carbon Rod - This two-foot length of green carbon-based material radiates overwhelming Universal magic, however it does absolutely nothing on its own. Anyone using the Craft Rod feat and this item finds his creation, when finished, infused with far greater power than intended...

Wow. Ladies and gentlement, (contact) has finally gone 'round the bend. First an off-screen TPK to whet our appetites for murder and mayhem, now the same again, in all its gory glory! I hope Prisantha has made some more clones, because the Liberators look like they're going to need them...

By a strict reading of the rules, they do not stack. Similarily, an ex-barbarian 10/dwarven defender 10 has only DR 6/-, not DR 8/- as you might expect. In my campaigns, however, I generally let all extraordinary (DR x/-) stack, taking precedent from certain feats in Savage Species and the...

Bad example on my part. Consider the EX ability, which I think is universally of the type x/-, to be one form. In game terms, this could be the "shrugging off punishment" type. The other abilities, however, are all of different forms. The planetar's natural DR 10/evil is a different form the...

No, because it's all supernatural or spell(-like), as stated in my second post. That stuff is a class unto itself, and you're right, stacking anything there quickly degenerates into a golf-bag-of-weapons syndrome. The small-time (EX) DR x/- from feats, class abilities, and equipment, though...

Perhaps I'm reading too far into this, but the key word for me is "forms" of damage reduction. DR 10/magic is one form. DR 5/silver is another form. DR 2/- is yet a third form. DR 1/- from light adamatine armor is another example of the third form, and thus is open to interpretation on...

I believe that's supposed to be in reference to the (SU) abilities like DR 5/evil or DR 10/magic, as opposed to the (EX) DR in question. In this case, they would not stack, only the best would apply, as stated. I believe DR x/- is a special case, as it is an ability attainable by several...

And you probably won't, either, since it is poorly documented. In my campaigns, I generally allow "unrestricted" DR (Like the Barbarian, Dwarven Defender, Templar [DotF], Survivor [SS], etc.) to stack with each other, as would the DR from adamantine armor. Honestly, I can't imagine the extra...

Congratulations, you've created a meatgrinder. The party has absolutely no chance. Unless they somehow catch wind of the ambush and run, you're most certainly going to rack up a TPK. I'd recommend taking down a notch or five. An EL 12 encounter should be more than challenging enough...

I'm not sure I like that ruling. Keep in mind that if you ever have negative levels equal to your total hit dice, you die automatically. That interpretation means that a 10th level Hunter of the Dead could still be Enervated or Energy Drained to death, despite his supposed immunity to such...

If you're willing to waive the core-rules only stipulation, how about a Clr3/Nec3/Theurge10/True Necromancer4 (T&B)? You get a permanent Zone of Desecration around you, 4 extra turning levels, the ability to create undead 1/day, and the ability to cast any Necromancy school or Death domain...

A Spellsword (T&B) might do this, if he were to multiclass as an arcane spellcaster. Other than that, I'm aware of no other means to do this.

Could you post some of those templates for us, please, in the Rogue's Gallery thread? At least those that aren't IP. I'd be interested to see them.

There's nothing concrete about this, but I'd say the spirit of the ability intends that the Frenzied Berserker would keep fighting regardless of his subdual damage while in a frenzy. After all, if you can't kill him with real damage, how does it make sense to be able to knock him out with the...

I'm probably going to regret getting into this, but I'd imagine the price would be based on temple rank, Charisma, and ranks in the appropriate Profession skill. Price might be further modified by race, class, or other special abilites (God, that sounds awful).

It's an error. The table was copied from Deities and Demigods, but the editors neglected to remove the extra spell granted by the Divine Spellcaster SDA. To correct this, you should subtract one from each entry in the table.

On a related note, is Spell Mastery restricted specifically to members of the Wizard class, or is available to any nonspontaneous arcane spellcaster, such as an Assassin? While the feat specifically states the former, the Wizard is the only nonspontaneous arcane spellcaster in the PHB, which...

It's worth noting that, barring reach, Haste, or similar effects, if you are in position to make a full attack on someone, they are in position to full attack you in return. Thus, even though a rogue might find herself able to dish out a full round of sneak attacks, she might wish to reconsider...

And your point is? They'll just have to shoot him to death instead. One monk versus a thousand hand-crossbow-wielding mooks of any sort equals one very dead monk.
