Sure, what % of the $0.00 I'm making off this would you like? :D

Hypersmurf adds asterisks to all of my posts to point out the special cases, I think. I think of him as my editor sometimes. :D Of course, he's right. I think that one of the splatbooks also has a magical ranged weapon "reloading" ability (+1 equivalent?) that automatically reloads bolts...

I haven't read the Sage's ruling, so I cannot comment on that. I'll accept that TWF stacks with Rapid Shot, but I don't think it matters here. I think what the Player's Handbook is trying to say is that the increased rate of attacks with your Monk unarmed BAB already reflects "attacking with...

Tasha's Hideous Daughter fears my Prismatic Spay

Here's the relevant text fro the SRD: A monk fighting with a one-handed weapon can make an unarmed strike as an off-hand attack, but she suffers the standard penalties for two-weapon fighting. Likewise, a monk with a weapon (other than a special monk weapon) in her off hand gets an extra attack...

I don't have my books with me, but I think that Inner Armor should be an Ex ability invoked as a free action. If it isn't, I think it weakens the ability somewhat. It will be common for Sacred Fists to invoke Inner Armor just for the SR, just like Barbarians do for the extra hit points. Yes...

Oh, I am SOOOOO making that a house rule now... heh heh

That would mean quad damage on a crit? Sweeeeeeeeeet! :D

That goes double for me

No. At least 1 point of damage must get through the DR in order for the poison to take effect.

Another question, do the slippers stack with the Flying Kick feat from OA (doubles damage on a charge)?

Hypersmurf, Are you thinking of the Gyrspike?

So does Flying Kick stack with the Tiger Slippers mentioned in OA? Would you then do triple damage with a flying kick? Or do they not stack because they do the same thing?

Your question actually makes me think about whether Death Ward should stop Quivering Palm... To answer your question though, the Quivering Palm strike only starts the vibrations, which are not fatal in itself, so Death Ward does not prevent this. The death effect occurs when the Monk wills the...

Sejs: You are right, I misread Death Ward and missed the fact that it only protect against magical death effects. Even though the SRD doesn't mention if the assassin's death attack is Ex or Su, I presume it is Ex, which would mean Death Ward does not help. I think all of the other examples...

Right. Phantasmal Killer causes death from fear -- the phantasm itself is not real. In effect, the illusion fools your own brain into killing you. The distinction can be razor-thin here, but I believe Hypersmurf's opinion is the correct ruling -- death from a phantasmal killer is not...

Another way to think of it: Using a Vorpal weapon does work against a Hydra and will slice off its head, but that will not kill the creature. So how can it be a death effect in this case? Vorpal just means it beheads the opponent. It just so happens that most creatures die when losing their...

The problem with having armor = DR is that weapon damage in D&D is low enough that very little damage would get through. In a futuristic setting where common weapons are firearms that do 2d6 to 2d10 damage on average, this is okay. This is enough to get something through even the heaviest...

I think it's easiest to consider multiple damage types from a single attack as separate and independent of each other. Anything that reduces or enhances one type of damage does not affect the other. As Destil said, special effects are negated when the primary damage is negated by DR. Examples...

SR is too powerful to just be granted from a feat. If it were a feat, just about everyone would have SR. Monks get SR at 13th level. The Contemplative PrC also grants it, and I believe the Forsaker PrC does too. By far, the easiest way though to get SR is from a magical item. There are...
