    Magic Fang Question

    To me, this looks like it is saying a monk with one magic kama could use Flurry of Blows to strike twice with the kama - they attack with the kama and then make the extra attack with either the kama or their hand. I guess, if I squint just right, I can see where it might be saying that they...

    Magic Fang Question

    If you cast it on a monk, could the monk make an entire Flurry of Blows (2 attacks) with the one magic hand?

    Sage Answer: Haste & 5ft Step(s)

    Just to toss out some more information, the e-mail address on the "Sage" answer I got shows it coming from "David Eckelberry [David.Eckelberry@wizards.com]". So maybe other people are helping Skip Williams out, and they don't all have the same interpretation? I don't know. I was doing the dual...

    What is the point of the "Pain Touch" feat?

    With pain touch, they suffer for 2 rounds. Stunned the first, pained the second.

    Unarmed attacks while armed

    With regards to the use of the word "unarmed" above, I think this comes from the fact that, in almost every situation, an armed character is going to attack with thier weapon. So the assumption by the description is that an unarmed attacker is making the unarmed attack.

    AoOs gallore!

    Since you can only do one AoO on a given person in a round, the AoO chain is cut rather short. But in general, yes, you can trigger an AoO when you take your AoO.

    Min/max me a cleric

    Where do you people get these stat rolls? Yeesh, I remember I rolled an 18 and a 17 for the same character once, back in the late 80's sometime. Are you rolling 10d6 and keeping the best 3, or did you just go with a 52 Point Buy? Freakin munchkins...

    Unarmed attacks while armed

    Interesting question, and from what you quoted I think that you would be safe (no AoO) by the letter of the rules. However, I believe that they meant for you to take an AoO even if you have a weaponin your other hand. As evidence of this, I present the following excerpt from the Improved Unarmed...

    building a 13th level mage

    I think you've found the best character: the one you WANT to play. A human wizard is just fine, especially starting out at 13th level. If I were in that situation, I'd make him rather old because he is already powerful (I just hate playing old grey bearded wizards who are only 2nd level; just...

    Charging up walls

    Do you really have to activate Slippers of Spider Climbing? If so, I guess it is every 40 minutes as a command word? I suppose if someone were caught by surprise out in the woods this might be an issue, but not in the middle of a dungeon where you were expecting danger. Or do you make the player...

    ELH FAQ - minor updates

    So maybe Grand Master of the Harvest would have been better? Or simply, Crop Lord ? Regardless, he would certainly be a man out standing in his field! ;)

    Firing into Melee

    As a fairly common house rule, you could have the arrow possibly hit the fighter on a natural "1" (a fumble) if he is anywhere along the line of fire.

    Sage Answer: Haste & 5ft Step(s)

    If I am hasted, can I take a 5ft step as part of my normal action and then another one as part of my hasted (partial) action? No. You are only allowed one 5 ft-step per turn, and then only if you take no other movement actions. If so, are both safe from attacks of opportunity like a...

    Entangle Questions...

    I would have the saves be required when the spell was cast, and then at exact one round increments thereafter. However, I think this would need a special caveat that people entering the area of effect would make a save instantly. Otherwise you could run clean through it without effect.

    prestige domains - virtually impossible to get?

    Divine Diciple allows an extra domain. Our DM ruled that we could choose a prestige domain for that since it doesn't say one way or the other. You might try a similar approach.

    Control Winds

    My questions is this: Does the effect of this spell move with the caster? The first time I used this spell was to help push a ship along, so I just assumed that the effect traveled with me (as it would be pointless for that purpose otherwise). The line "The character alters wind force in the...

    Charging up walls

    If you are wearing Slipper of Spider climbing, could you charge (in a straight line) towards a buidling, run up the wall, onto the roof, and then claim a charging bonus at the end? From a top-down view, the move is all in a striaight line. On the other hand you make a 90 degree turn to go up...

    free actions, how many per round?

    The official answer is "DM's discretion". In our last campaign, we had a house rule that it was 2 by default.

    Crow familiar + magic item Smackdown idea request!

    As a cleric with a Macaw familiar, I'd be interested in these as well :).
