Whoops... good catch. It's still possible, but not as simple as I'd thought.

If we're looking for stat boosts... Dragon Disciple (Which BTW my girlfriend's character is well on the way to achieving... thanks to those who responded to my thread a couple weeks ago) gets +2 Str at 2nd level, +2 Str at 4th level, +2 Con at 6th level, +2 Int at 8th level, plus natural...

In this corner: Justice Thomas and the "PHB in exile" croud. In that corner: Justice Ginsberg and the "living PHB" croud. I've kept quiet up until now, because I'm part of Justice Potter's "I shall not attempt today to further define a natural attack... but I know one when I see it" croud.

A bow is a two-handed weapon, thus discounting it. If they made a compelling arguement, I would allow them to use a hand crossbow, though it would expend ammo each time they were attacked, and it takes a move equivalent action to reload a crossbow. The idea is that someone can use their weapon...

Well, that is a personal choice... but myself, I'd go human. Remember that monks don't last long as a first line of defense. Similar to rogues, they're best when they tumble in, take a few shots, then tumble back out. The extra skill points are a great help (especially at lower levels) at...

So... what you're saying is that you're taking the prescriptive definition of the word 'weapon' (Something intended only for use as a weapon) as opposed to the descriptive definition (Something being used as a weapon) due to your preconcieved notion of the Tempest prestige class? On the second...

There's no chair post in the weapons table. However... I believe that a Tempest would receive the armor class bonus while wielding a chair as their offhand weapon... with improvised weapon penalties in his attack roll, of course (unless he had at least 4 levels in Drunken Master). With three...

My thoughts exactly.

I was reading the thread, and when I got to StreamOfTheSky's post, I got very confused for a milisecond. "How did I already respond?"

I was way too amused by that for my own good.

But a happy mistake... cause now the bonuses stack. ;)

Gah, you beat me to it.

Sounds like a straight up Warmage (from Complete Arcane) to me.

The only mention of 'shield' was the mistaken characterization of the bonus as a 'shield bonus' instead of a '+1 bonus to armor class' by Balord. This being said... the shield would stack with the armor class bonus, as they are different AC categories.

We had a similar problem with the monk in one of my campaign (The silly idiot thought he was a front line fighter). He didn't change his tactics after numerous deaths because they were in character for the personality he had moulded. So, his dead body was taken by an NPC. We had to fight to...

This wouldn't be so much 'reincarnate' as 'recycle' then? ;)

I say the Dex bonus is kept. Have you ever seen a little kid take a hard tumble? 9 times out of ten, they cry a little and then just get up, none the worse for wear. Watch a 25 year old take a spill that bad, and you'll be watching someone break or dislocate a number of bones.

It would be awesome for roleplaying if your lumberjack were afraid of heights, but was really gung ho about his profession. (In terms of dice, you could get a +2 to climbing up and a -2 to climbing down or something). I imagine it would be a lot of fun to play.

Are Green Star Adepts also "living constructs"?

Do the natural armor bonuses stack?
