guess its back to still spell for me.... now i just have to decide whether i take sudden still or simply still spell... keeping in mind tha ti don't need ot prepare anything ahead of time because my DM is using the spell point variant (meaning i would only have to use still spell if i was...

does armored mage (heavy shield) effect that? the desciption of it says something to the effect of ignoring somatic component failure with a shield or at least allowing you too... don't have the book handy (PHBII) can anyone check that for me?

hmm... no... but thats just because nobody likes the french. :P

sorry for making three new threads in all of about 5 minutes but i just remembered a question i had about somatic, verbal and material components for spells. how do these work with the duskblade? does using a sword and shield prevent you from casting spells with a somatic component or is all of...

its intelligent undead, and not just 3 or anything but 7+ intelligence... i imagine that it would be at least as good at one language as most high school students are at english... shudder

I know if your going to go strictly by the rules this doesn't really apply, but considering a griffon has a intelligence score of 5 and yet can still not speak any languages.... would it be a fair rule to apply that a draconic griffon could understand draconic in addition to common? or maybe it...

and i'm still bitter about having my stonechild (LA +4 and two racial HD) duskblade build torn apart... warranted it was my own fault for not knowing two different points on ECL. a) HD are in effect, class levels on their own b) feats, skills and stats are based off character levels NOT ECL. It...

i think its a fine tactic... but make the ogre suffer fall damage as well as damage for the wound of having a wizard shoved in him at high speed. The heavier an object is the more damage its going to take from falling on a pointed rock, and a evil wizard is sort of like a squishy, pointed...

i'm going to go out on a limb here and just assume that fiery ki defense and ki blast are both supposed to say that a monk can take them as their bonus feat at 6th level.... not 8th... i didn't see an errata for the PHBII on the wizards site so i figure you guys would know instantly.

but its not a monster... thats a seperate option

dammit you keep posting new things as i'm editing my old ones lol. just out of curiosity does that mean i could substitute MY racial hit die for my class HD and still make it at level 5? simply with a lot less hit points? edit: much like you originally said about having dangerously low hit points

bah... that pretty much forces me to take a martial class for the stonechild.... so saddening... now i have ot either make it a goliath instead or change the class to fighter... either one is almost a new character entirely.... ...booooo.... edit: ya i know the goliath shave 0 hit die... i...

Goliath HD 1 LA 1 Barbarian 1 that would mean a goliaths minimum is level 3 for a character with a class... or that any character created has to be level two (for HD 1 and 1 class level) this doesn't make sense to me... or are you saying that because it has a racial hit die that gives it hit...

nice... i think just to make things simple i'll just buy the orb of storms and be done with it

the stonechild has two different methods of building a character, one which is simply a level adjustment of +4 and another where you start at level one and over the next 5 levels (making 6 levels of stonechild then one more for a duskblade) earn the racial traits (its also the monster class for...

5th level is 2d8+5 (for stonechild) then another 1d8+5 for 1st level of duskblade. your first hit dice are always maximized so thats 21, giving you 26+1d8 HP for 5th level. its still low... but it gets substantially higher as it levels up (the +5 REALLY helps)

ya the level adjusment is definately hurting my spells (i'm planning hte character out from levels 5 to 20 completely) hit points and AC i'm not concerned about... the race more hten makes up for both (+8 to con really helps and +4 natural armor does too)

one more thing that could help me... seeing as almost all duskblades past level 4 will use heavy mithral armor if they can afford it... isn't there a feat or something that allows you to move at normal speed in medium or heavy armor or something? that would be terribly useful.

ah, that makes sense... i just figured nobody had attempted it because it would be huge in magnitude. No wonder i have such troubles finding details. Thanks again

bah! that won't help me at all... my character doesn't have ranks in either of those .. does have lots in knowledge (arcana) though... thanks anyways edit: that and his wisdom blows... for level 5 str 22, dex 13, con 20, int 18, wis 8, cha 8 if your curious on why the first 4 are so freaking...
