Never said it wasn't a cool and useful ability. :) It is however fairly useless if you're intending to use it in a combat situation. It's one of the best skills for sneaking around though. You're on another plane, so most things can't see you. Sure, you can't see as well either, but that's why...

It takes a standard action to go ethereal though. Also, the enemy caster is just as immune to you as you are immune to them while you're ethereal. Yippee! I can stand around on this other plane for a while and do absolutely nothing, but my enemies usually won't be able to hurt me... Except for...

Even at level 7, cure serious wounds is much better than a maximized cure light wounds. 11-39 (average 25) compared to a flat rate of 13. That trend is the same way for any of the cure spells. Empower doesn't work as well as just going to the higher level spells does. Edit: Forgot to mention...

A 20th level Monk has 30 SR. A 20th level caster's caster level check to beat SR is 1d20 + 20, average of 30.5. This means that the spellcaster at that level that has done *nothing* to try to beef up their anti-SR ability has a 55% chance of beating it. That same caster who's picked up Spell...

You expect your group of level 3 characters to be able to take down an EL 5 challenge in *two* hits (one for each guard)? Unrealistic expectations, to be sure. A single casting of sleep has better chance of taking down both guards at once than attacking them. A DC of 14-15 should be expected...

Edit: Misread the initial post. Yeah, I agree with what's been said.

Temporary boosts do not affect skill points gained per level unless the boost is there for the majority of the level previous.

Whenever your Intelligence score goes down you do not lose skill points, just as you do not gain extra skill points for an immediate increase. (Not until you level, as long as it had been effective for the majority of the previous level.)

I can't remember where it was posted. Someone posted an email reply from the Sage I think. I also believe it's written as such in the SRD too.

They overlap. Both are enhancement bonuses, so they don't stack. Edit: Yes... coffee would be nice. Ugh. That's what happens when you retype a post four times. I made the same mistake three more times, but actually corrected it before I retyped it... Hmm, coffee... right.

You are. The Ride by Attack feat is pretty clear that you don't provoke an AoO from the defender while using that action. If it changed when the defender has reach that would be stated explicitly in the description of the feat.

Why's this in the rules forum?

Well, at least Avalanche doesn't plan on suing people who give them bad reviews. Don't think it's possible? A company has filed a $15M lawsuit against a person for giving a negative review of their company on a mailing list. Want more information? Click here. It could be a lot worse.

Darkness can only be cast upon objects, not creatures. There's a really easy fix for that, but it's still really amusing in a damn I'm bored kindof way.

The domination part is pretty easy, but knocking them out? That'd be the more difficult part by far.

Could always make it either 1d8 with 20/x3 crit without the reach of a longspear. It's definitely (in a way) weaker than the longspear is, but anything more than that would likely make it overpowered.

Someone in the creatures forum found a common link between all of the golem pricings. I believe the cost of a stone golem was 10000 gp + 5000 gp/hit die. This is the same for iron golems too. Flesh and clay golems both cost 5000 gp + 5000 gp/hit die. I think that's what they are. Those do work...

Spiked chains are not normally double weapons. Being able to use the weapon as a double does not actually change the weapon into a double weapon. So, you only need to enhance your weapon once, because it's still only a single weapon. Originally posted by Ferret: When posting page references...

Very cool. Thanks Ray! I think you may have just sold a book. :) Well, I'll definitely be looking for it at my local gaming stores. Again, thanks for the info. It sounds like a fun book to add some weird twists to your NPC's.

Time to add my two cents (or more). First of all, I don't really care how they statted out the archfiends and such. I'll look them over and use the stats if I like them, but I won't lose any sleep over it if I don't. What I'm more interested in is the entire book. How useful do the feats seem...
