    Handling bribes ...

    A skilled PC should have some vibe about who is bribable and how much it will take to satisfy them. Unless you are a good RP DM and you can convey that information in a way the player can pick up on then more power to you but otherwise use skill rolls and add some modifiers and base the DC of...

    Tempory HP stack?

    Yep, temporary is officially a named bonus type and only the highest bonus applies. This ruling was made after the psionics handbook came out and people started using power triggered vigors to gain infinite hps.

    Are Boots of Speed Lame?

    I think Boots of Speed should be use activated like Boots of Striding and Springing or Boots of Levitation. I know it is clearly designated a command item but having to "waste" one of your ten rounds on the activation round seems slightly unfair. It would seem that the generic creation price...

    Divine Vengeance Feat

    It would be a useful feat if it was activated as a free action and it lasted until the end of your next turn. To lose a whole round of attacks for a small damage bonus is about as good as circle kick and dirty fighting.

    casting spells with surprise

    Isn't forcing someone to your will the exact opposite of the belief system of the chaotic alignment? I'm not a big fan of pretending to cast something nice and it really being something bad. I would suspect people in a fantasy setting would not be so easily fooled when everyone has a passing...

    Can Undead Rage?

    I figured saying total lack of constitution meant the same thing as "lacking the attribute entirely." I stand corrected. Since undead have no constitution the length of rage is undefined. It is comparable to dividing by zero. (which does not mean undead have a con of zero nor that division has...

    Smack the monk

    Whenever there is a question of stacking, the answer is always the choice with less stacking (except animal affinity which either has already had the ruling corrected or it is due any day now.) Speed, haste, hustle etc = all 1 kind of bonus twf, itwf, gtw, FoB = all 1 kind of bonus cleave and...

    Can Undead Rage?

    The total lack of a constitution modifier would prevent undead from raging. Even if they had a 1 con instead of no con the rage would still have a 0 round duration. (3 + [-3 from a 1+4=5 con])

    MM Classed Monsters Disconnect

    The books claim every humanoid monster has 1 level of warrior. When they add levels they are talking about levels of warrior unless otherwise specified.

    Permanent spells and Detect Magic

    I'd say yes since both are spells with permanent duration. Both can be removed with dispel magic so they would reasonably be detected by detect magic.

    Wow, Fiendform is broken!

    p. 93, Fiendform, 1st paragraph: Change "...summoned by summon monster I-VI." to "...summoned by summon monster I-V." Its in the MoF errata pdf which is available in the errata section of wizards.com like all the other errata, yes. Its not published errata yet but there will be a limit on...

    Wow, Fiendform is broken!

    9th level spell? That's the realm of shapechange. There is a cap on how many times you can heal by changing form per day. Not being able to take people with you when you teleport is a significant disadvantage. How many times do you need to teleport without error during the duration of the spell...

    BAB of Templates

    You set it according to the base creature. Templates don't have any sort of advancement. Your stats are based on the original creature + class levels. Being a celestial lion doesn't give you outsider BAB and skills.

    good rings?

    Double empower is a +4 level metamagic, triple empower is +6. Incantrix can apply the deduction once to each metamagicked spell. I don't think the class ability reduces the cost of creating a magic item, just the spell slot used to cast spells. Neither Mage Armor nor True strike has no...

    Arms & Armor

    If I wrote a review, it would be just like this one.

    Ring of Improved Invisibility [2002 Thread]

    Such a thing is an abomination and must never be created. Its like a ring of infinite wishes.

    Battle Magic

    Where is your obligatory mention of the topless woman? Is there actually a Mongoose product without such a thing?

    Which is better?

    Let me clarify, incorporeal undead do not function (or even exist) in an anti-magic field. You can attack out of an anti-magic field against incorporeal with missile weapons because the magic is restored when the arrow leave the field. 208 hp skeleton with 32hd is not going to be very tough...

    Game Pricing

    At $40 for the epic level handbook, I think we are reaching the limit of expense for books. How many people would pay $50? I think most instant adventure pamplets were overpriced for what you got at $2.49. Many PDFs are overpriced at $5. I'd never spend more than $25 for a 3rd party...

    Applying damage to multiple targets

    I would say that it was different for each person. I also think that is a ridiculous ability. It takes forever to restore all those permanent ability loses and if you don't have a 7th level cleric you are screwed.
