I'd say yes, it does. An adamantine weapon gives a +1 or +2 natural enhancement bonus to attack and damage. Since it is an enhancement bonus, and acts exactly like every other enhancement bonus, I'd say yes, it does work to bypass damage reduction. Whether or not the bonus is "natural" or...

Most domain bonuses are based on your total divine spellcasting level within a spell list. In other words, every +1 spellcaster level adds that level to your granted powers, as well as to spellcasting. Thus, someone with 10 cleric levels and 10 prestige levels (provided they have the...

No, they don't. They are two different weapons, each requiring different proficiencies to use. However, you might house-rule that someone might switch weapon-related feats between similar weapons when leveling up, following the flexible weapon focus precedent in Sword & Fist. But then you'd...

Nine. Evil, bad idea. Gaze not into the Abyss, for that way lies madness.

My character uses one. Check out this thread for more info. Mine is actually house-ruled heavy adamantine, as opposed to the more traditional magically-hardened gold or platinum, but it follows the same rules except for adamantine's improved hardness and hit points.

Re: Re: Re: Hey Creeperman Excuse me? Why should I change feats? I explained how it works, which is similar to the monsterous Knockdown ability in the MM (I believe it's under Dire Wolf?), and this is how it is played in my campaign. Of course, if your DM feels like nerfing the feat into...

Re: Hey Creeperman Note that my weapon and attendant feats are for a heavy mercurial greatsword, as described in Magic of Faerun. So the 2d8 is correct. It is slightly house-ruled in that adamantine is not normally considered to be "heavy," but my DM described the blade as thicker and...

Hey! Give me back my character! Alain: male human Ftr7; CR 7; Medium-size Humanoid (human); HD 7d10+14; hp 73; Init +1 (Dex); Spd 40 ft; AC 20 (+8 masterwork full plate, +1 Dex, +1 Dodge); Atks +14/+9 melee (2d8+10/crit x4, Final Judgement), or +11/+6 melee (1d8+4, heavy mace), or +11/+6 melee...

Something I've considered house-ruling is to add Toughness to the Fighter's list of bonus feats, to restore consistency, and to allow the entire familiy of feats to be automatically "upgraded" when the character's base Fortitude save gets high enough. This makes the Toughness feats at least...

I suppose you could call it either way. I'd rule it 5d10 (BTW, you did mean 3d10, not 3d6, right?) because you'd get a deeper wound and thus more exposure to the energy burst effect than normal. Of course, we're quibbling over 2d10 (average: 11) points of damage after what's likely a 200-point...

Power Attack bonus damage is indeed multiplied on a critical hit. This is, of course, balanced by the increased difficulty of inflicting the critical in the first place with the lowered attack bonus, which is a double-whammy of sorts, as it is lowered for both the attack and critical...

Attack bonuses are a dime a dozen, while damage bonuses are hard to come by. I'd dump it into Strength. After a few levels you won't miss the attack bonus nearly as much as the extra damage.

I've changed the bestow curse spell to remove the limitation of Con 1. Instead, I've simply stated that the spell will always take full effect, but can never actually result in death. Thus, let's take your 10 Con bad guy, drain him 8 points, then curse him for another 6. The way I'd run it...

Now, to toss a wrench into the proceedings, what might happen if a wielder of a Sun Blade happened to have Focus and Specialization in both short sword and bastard sword? Would the attack and damage bonuses stack, since they're unnamed? Or can you apply only one proficiency (and focus, and...
