the Scorpion Kama from MIC reverse engineered makes the cost to do unarmed strike damage with a weapon a 4,000gp enchantment. this could open up exotic materials like adamantine or cold iron, plus enchantment damages like shock, fiery or cold... another option we did in a past campaign for a...

I can't give any advice on the Age of Worms AP, but I will chime in on the Rogue/Undead thing - I didn't see anyone mention the Penetrating Strike ACF (dungeon or cityscape I believe is the source). Best Rogue ACF ever in my opinion; basically lets you SA for half damage anything normally...

I was inclined to say Darkstalker beats the Lifesense (Su) but I'm on the fence about it because of the line about being able to detect "the strength of their life force automatically". I have a hard time believing you could hide from that with a skill check. But since it does say it...

and expensive... monk's belt runs more than a +2 weapon, amulet of natural attacks is pricey, and good bracers of armor get up there in cost as well. I know monk's don't need a whole lot of equipment, but it's rough as you start with the lowest starting gold of any class out there.

The Ki Straps from Magic Item Compendium come to mind, fairly cheap and add a +2 to the stunning fist DC if I remember right... There is another item from that book that lets you get a +2/+2 bonus to Flurry as well... bracers maybe? Or I may have these items backwards (straps help flurry...

This is also what I'd rule. As a spell it won't increase it's damage based on your size; a small character shouldn't/wouldn't do 1d3+1 per caster level with this spell, so a large character won't do 1d6. You also shouldn't take any penalty for inappropriately sized weapons from a spell you...

I think the Flame Dagger spell inflicts damage because it's fire, not necessarily a dagger that is doing damage. The flame just happens to take the form of a dagger in your hand. At least, that is the way I interpret it. As for the Monk and Flurry question, I believe as long as the weapon...

Running a monk with beast strike is great too because your unarmed strikes are bludgeoning, and claws are piercing and slashing. So with beast strike which lets you add claw damage to your unarmed strikes you deal B/P/S all in one. Then once you hit level 4 for that Ki Strike (magic) you're...

Beast Strike - don't remember issue # off-hand, but I do remember a +3 BAB prereq on it. This build concept is cracking me up only because I've been running my level 3 feral half-orc monk who is a focused on grappling for about a month now.

What's your work around for the alignment restrictions of Monk and Barbarian? One requires lawful, one chaotic. Is your DM ok with a complete reversal of alignment when you cross-class out one and into the other? Also, look at the Fist of the Forest requirements of being out in nature all the...

For the Feral template and the abilities based on monster hit die I believe the following from the SRD explains how this works; "Humanoids and Class Levels Creatures with 1 or less HD replace their monster levels with their character levels. The monster loses the attack bonus, saving...

Gotcha. Like I said I don't like the creation rules much. The few custom items I've added to my games I've arbitrarily assigned a price to based on other like items. Weapon and armor formulas are the most common, and easiest to figure. The Javelin of Lightning being priced in a way that...

I don't understand the 375gp number here, did you flip the create/market prices? Following that item creation formula of caster level x spell level x 50gp I get; 5th level wizard and level 3 spell, 5 x 3 x 50gp = 750gp - this would be the item creation cost no? So then you would double that for...

Though brought up many a time before I'm sure, I'll just say if you devote the ranks to it Mosquito's Bite can be pretty nasty if you play a Rogue; sneak up behind your target - attack with daggers adding your sneak attack dice while the target is 'unaware' of your assault with the light...

I believe you'd use sleight of hand for concealing an item on your persons. You can use sleight of hand untrained for anything with a DC 10 or less, typically just this, hiding an item on yourself. Remember that some items, like daggers, grant a bonus on the sleight of hand check to conceal...

I did something like this a loooong time ago. Though it was just for a dragon breed, not a PC. I mixed a red and a white dragon, named it Frostfire - creative I know, I was young. Mostly all I did was combine the elements; half of the breath weapon was fire damage/half frost damage...

As written yes, I agree with that the 'Elf' subtype should work. Flavor-wise though it feels off... a surface Elf most likely won't ever use a scorpion chain or longknife. We've been debating this as a group for a while tonight now, was just looking for other opinions here during that time...

I agree with you on the second part Rumble. So do you feel the courtblade is a surface Elf weapon, or should/would Drow have access to it as a racial weapon per our house-rule? The book Races of the Wild, where the courtblade shows up, only seems to describe surface Elves. But, Drow do favor...

Aside from the Scorpion Chain and the Drow Longknife, are there any other Drow racial weapons? Hand crossbows are common, but not Drow specific. Another question along the same lines; in our campaign we allow 'racial' weapons to be martial for their race instead of exotic. This opens up the...
