And which undead has 5/+1 DR again? The cleric should cast magic weapon and beat on the undead with the +1 morning star which now averages 6 damage past DR for the rest of the combat rather than 7 damage for 1 round. Only a human cleric would have enough feats at 2nd level to have divine...

Will saves can be as deadly as death effects. Hold person should be death but most DM's let the PCs live because save or die effects based on fortitude don't come up until 5th level spell. Being dominated is worse than death for your fellow party members. Reflex is very common but rarely save...

Wounding was questionable even as a +1 enchantment power. It took 2 rounds before wounding broke even vs. enhancement. If it takes 4 rounds to break even as a +2 enhancement then it almost never breaks even, let alone come out ahead. Wounding works on arrows or perhaps a thrown weapon where...

If the feat is supposed to give +2d6 damage for 2 rounds per attempt expended then its a 6. Its better than weapon specialization if you are fighting undead and useless otherwise. If the feat gives +2d6 damage for 1 round after spending the previous round activating the power then it is...

Its a standard action that includes the attack just like casting a touch spell. Clearly the intent is not to spend a round just to activate an attack power.

I'd say use the mounts move silently with a -2 circumstance modifier if the rider had metal armor. Use the mount's hide skill with a -4 circumstance modifier as if the mount was one size class larger than normal.

Doing an extra 7 pts of damage per attack is a fairly substantial increase. If you wanted to do 2d6 bonus damage to all evil creatures you would have to be epic level. Holy strike would stack with divine vengeance also. If every 3rd creature you fight is undead then this feat is better than...

Sure, you could use limited wish to cast still, silent spells but it is pointless since limited wish has V,S components. Even if you don't have the feat you could design a 3rd level spell called extended see invisibility and use limited wish to cast it without having to learn or memorize the spell.

Mass Bull's Strength (aka Bear's Heart) and Mass Endurance (aka Legion's March) are both 5th level spells so the +3 levels for mass seems to be right with a number of targets equal to caster level. Aura of Vengeance is a double power, double area Prayer spell which is 2 levels higher and...

That naga smack is a little hard to follow for me. I don't follow the str x3 and damage x3 on the first attack. I see str x2 for power lunge or mantis leap and damage x2 for flying kick. Potions of true strike aren't a valid item. Constriction lets you deal 1.5x str damage instead of just normal...

Would you take it more than once? It would be a decent feat but it wouldn't be the best possible feat a sorceror could ever take. It would update every level like variant toughness gives an extra hp every level.

If extra spell gave you an extra spell of every level it might be worth considering but only one spell for a feat is weak when you only get 7-8 total.

Dragon CR assume the party is immune to the dragon's breath weapon and fear effects along with having buffs up the wazoo, dragon specific equipment such as dragonbane weapons and plenty of opposite elemental damage that can do double damage.

I was talking about the turning feats in DoTF to show that the entire feat section needs a rewrite just like a huge portion of the S&F feats got a rewrite. These books were in development before the player's handbook was even in print let alone the vast body of d20 material that now exists. They...

Some people think the faq corrected a grave flaw in divine feats so "obviously erroneous" is a matter of opinion. I consider it errata to DOTF that divine feats can be activated at will, any time they would be useful and burn the turning attempt. Its crazy for a feat to have as many drawbacks...

The online calculator only works for races with across the board stat increases/penalites with some form of natural armor. If you make a hypothetical race that is only large or has +20 charisma it no longer yields a meaningful result. ECL 16 is probably low. Depending on the base creature it...

I'd say the min charisma for this is 20. Typically this feat is acquired around 9th level when charisma is around 28 at best. You can take shield expert to use your shield as a weapon without losing the massive AC bonus and you can load up on the non enhancement bonuses. Double damage on a...

I think the more relevant quote is "even if" that is to say that as long as you can clearly state who you are resurrecting and their soul still exists and is willing to return to life then a new body is created regardless of any other factor such as the body not being present ie. destroyed.

The higher the level of the ECL race the better off they are. The 15th level ogre has more hps than then 20th fighter and all the unmatched racial advantages.

I always read it as negates damage from any source (including spells) and for a rare high level ability it isn't too powerful. Even at epic levels when it gets to be 20/- elemental resistances are between 30 and infinity and reductions don't stack so the 20 damage reduction vs. spells comes into...
