According to Table 2-12: The Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil, you get warding 1/day at 1st level, warding 2/day at 3rd level, warding 3/day at 5th level, warding 4/day at 7th level. Warding is spell-like. It is listed in the class features section as Warding (Sp).

That's a really weird sentiment. What does Greyhawk have to do with "Tolkienesque"? You have a high-magic world, thick with magic items and with thousands upon thousands of wizards and other magic-users, a world filled with adventurerers, and a bewildering variety of monsters cribbed at random...

The standard of heroism from Complete Warrior gives a +2 morale bonus to all attack rolls (as well as saves and skill checks as well as a +4 morale bonus on saves vs. fear).

An undead troll wouldn't have regeneration because it doesn't have a Con score.

Does dealing with treasure in such a detailed way really improve your game? All it sounds like it would do is bore the players and the dungeon master, unless you have a group full of people who don't have enough accounting in their lives.

To my mind, it seems that the races that would come to dominate would be the races most prepared for the sort of existence that an "apocalypse" would produce, i.e., the primitive races. For example, lizardfolk are presented as a group of stone-age hunter-gatherers. As a race, they already...

I think his argument is that because a wizard already has a caster level, and the "use a wand" function of UMD allows you to behaves as though you had the appropriate spell on your class spell list, it works just like the wizard actually having spell X on his class list, so he uses his caster...

The exact wording of the warlock's caster level is "A warlock's caster level with his invocations is equal to his warlock level."

Never mind. I had though that you used "emulate a class feature" to activate a staff, but then I read the entry for "use a wand."

Yup. Here's the specific graf: A side effect of this paragraph is that warlocks, in theory, could also use Energy Subtitution, Black Lore of Moil, and Born of the Three Thunders, as none of them require modified spell slots.

The errata given for the death giant is incorrect. A death giant has an initiative modifier of +8 (+1 Dexterity, +7 Charisma; see guardian souls ability) not +1, as given in the errata. The book gives the correct number.

Psionic Shot (from the XPH) is a good way to boost eldritch blast damage.

I voted Complete Arcane. Most of the book is crap, but the warlock and a few of the spells (I love reaving dispel and greater sigil of sealing, to name a few) are good enough to make me overlook that.

I would use interpretation #2, which seems balanced. Half the time, you gain no benefit, and half the time you gain either +1, +2, or +3. That's an average benefit of +1 caster level, which isn't very impressive. Update: After thinking about it more, it's not even a net +1 benefit. The wild...

Drawing ammunition is a subset of the action "draw a weapon", which does not provoke an attack of opportunity.

Whoops. Its -1 for +2 for a one-handed weapon, and -1 for a +3 or +4 for a two-handed weapon, depending on how you interpret the feat. That doesn't seem so bad.

Does the Leap Attack feat seem overpowered to anyone else? Getting a +6 bonus to damage rolls for every -1 penalty you take with Power Attack seems pretty powerful, even if you can only use it on a charge. I shudder to think of a frenzied berserker with this feat. That would give a -1 penalty...

In regards to Weapon Focus, it just says that a ray is treated as a weapon for the purposes of that feat, it never says that a ray is a weapon. I actually don't think you are allowed to take Weapon Specialization (ray), as Weapon Specialization doesn't include that parentheical bit that Weapon...

There is some evidence that wizards doesn't consider ranged touch spells to be attacks with a ranged weapon. For example, the SRD entry on rays reads: Note some of the wording. They call out specific times when a ray works like a ranged weapon, which implies that a ray is not a ranged weapon...

Blast of Dalibruis is a little strong at the level you get it, but after 8th level its kind of weak. I'd like it better if it started of weaker and scaled with level. I'd probably do something like this. Blast of Dalibrius Evocation [Electricity, Fire, Force] Level: Sor/wiz 4 Components: V...
