You take an AoO just like you're using your regular blast--the healing blsat changes what your blast does, but you're still using your eldritch blast. Again, it modifies your normal blast, so you only need the normal blast components (including the somatic one). You can; it doesn't matter...

I've worked up a variation on the 2e sphere system for my games, so the only clerics with access to raise dead have to have moderate access to the Life sphere (which 2 gods grant), and to have access to resurrection or true resurrection you have to have major access to that sphere (which only 1...

Important note: You don't get to full attack per se. It lets you make a number attacks based on your BAB as a full-round action, so while you get to make all of your iterative attacks, you don't get any extra ones (from haste or whatever) and it doesn't necessarily count for abilities that...

Anything that requires an attack roll is an "attack" for purposes of sudden strike, sneak attack, and skirmish; Complete Arcane explains how all that works in the Feats section. If you use skirmish and eldritch blast together, yes; I don't have it in front of me, so I don't know whether it...

One idea I've tried out is letting you give up attacks to add +2 to attacks and 1 extra weapon die in that round for each attack given up. So if you have a short sword (base 1d6 damage) and your attack routine is +20/+15/+10 for 1d6+5 damage each, you could choose to instead do +22/+17 for...

Here's the thing, though--you're not preparing the spell as a 5th and 8th level caster. When you prepare the spell, as Joe 5th-Level Caster, the number of missiles, range, duration, etc. are fixed. They don't change at all after you prepare the spell, and since you prepare a fireball with...

It's not variable when you cast it, though. A 5th-level caster will always have the same range, CL, and number of dice when casting a fireball, but the dice will give a different result every time you cast the spell. That's why it says "variable, numeric" instead of "variable" or "numeric".

A 3rd-level power has the effects of two 2nd-level spells, plus some...yep, I'd say that's how the whole geometric power scale thingy is supposed to work--and if glitterdust doesn't fit your needs, see invisibility is a 2nd-level spell too, with a duration 10 times as long as touchsight...

1) Touchsight is a mental effect while the other effects are purely physical; "nonvisual sense" would (at least to me) imply taste, touch (like tremorsense), hearing (like blindsight), or smell (like scent), and "telepathy" isn't among those senses. 2) It never defines "partly effective," so...

The full quote is It doesn't say you only detect invisible creatures, just that you ignore invisibility, darkness, and concealment because it isn't a visual sense. There's no reason to specifically mention incorporeality because it isn't a visual-only thing. Nope. Incorporeal creatures are...

The power states it uses a "subtle telekinetic field of mental contact," so I'd say you could detect incorporeal creatures because (A) telekinetic effects are usually like force effects in that they affect corporeal and incorporeal targets alike, and (B) it's mental contact--some sort of...

Girallon's blessing gives the subject "an additional pair of arms," and spell flower lets you "hold the charge for one touch spell per arm of your body." I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work; if you get a second set of arms, they should count as part of your body for all purposes. The...

:erm: Whoops. I guess I meant that in the sense that you have to choose to bring someone along, rather than it being automatic. Either way, the somatic component thing holds.

The soulmeld is in Magic of Incarnum. It's not literally DR for ability damage, it just reduces any ability damage you'd take. I'm quite a RAW DM as well, and I allow it just fine--reducing ability damage doesn't make you immune to ability damage, any more than a barbarian's DR 1/-- makes him...

"Precise and careful action" essentially means spells with somatic components; powers aren't affected at all in that regard. Dimension Door is self only, so the grappler would not come along.

You might want to go Wizard//Factotum (from Dungeonscape). Looks like your buddy has the melee and divine slots covered, and the Factotum is almost 90% Int-based. Skills monkey, Int to AC and attack and damage and saves, limited healing, extra actions...what's not to love?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Sphinx Claws soulmeld from Magic of Incarnum--the dwarf in the sphinx claws picture looks like he's fighting almost exactly like Wolverine! If you take two levels of Totemist and the Open Least Chakra feat, you get 1d8+5 claws and can pounce with them.

I don't see a level of binder in here, nor do I see Shape Soulmeld (Strongheart Vest) below. Tsk, tsk. ;) The hellfire warlock has the nasty drawback of dealing you Con damage with each shot (pointless, in my eyes, since the warlock needs the damage boost), so you're going to need some way to...

You said to look at the 1e DMG, and I posted the exact quote of why Monte Haul campaigns are discouraged by Gygax. Having too many magic items "gives player characters undeserved advancement and empowers them to become virtual rulers of all they survey"...which is only the case because you got...

--------------------------------- However, this talk of Monty Hauls is mostly irrelevant when talking about 3e. The reason high levels of magic items and cash was discouraged then because you gained experience from your loot as well, so getting too many items would level you up, giving you...
