    Arcane Thesis

    Hi all, A feat from phbII... "when you apply a metamagic feat to that spell, the enhanced spell uses up a slot one level lower than normal." So, if you put multiple meta-feats on your thesis spell... is the total reduced by one, or is every meta feat addition reduced by one? Mike

    Any way to get a second familiar?

    Well, as per the DMG... 2 of something is usually 2CR higher then normal. So you could reduce both of the shocker lizards by giving them 2 negative level adjustments until they go up some levels (HD). Each negative level would amount to: -1 on skill and ability checks -1 on attacks and saves -1...

    Divine Champion - FRCS vs. PGtF -- significant differences?

    No major changes.. Lay on hands is now exactly like the Paladin's ability... and stacks if the character has paladin levels. The Smite cannot be combined with another classe's smite... it adds another use if you have some already. And the bonus feats has a specific, and much reduced list...

    Me like big BASH!!!

    IIRC... the bashing enhancement does not increase any damage from the spikes... just the shield itself. YMMV Mike

    Sneak Attack vs. Uncanny Dodge?

    Isn't your target that is grappled... getting soft cover from your buddy? Doesn't cover prevent SA? Mike

    Sneak Attack vs. Uncanny Dodge?

    Uncanny Dodge prevents the character from loosing their DEX bonus from both the flat-footed condition and getting struck by an invisible attacker. If there is another reason the Barbarian (or another reason the target has uncanny dodge) is loosing their DEX... then SA is possible. Mike

    Arcane Hierophant by 6th level

    well, that's a loaded question... ;) but yes. I would rule that the Precocious Apprentice does not give you the ability to cast 2nd level spells. Just like UMD doesn't. Your above examples aren't introducing a chance of failure because the aren't properly trained to cast a 2nd level spell...

    Arcane Hierophant by 6th level

    Percocious Apprentice feat does NOT give you the ability to cast 2nd level spells. It gives you a chance (with a chance to fail) of casting ONE 2nd level spell. I'd check with your DM about that one... it woudn't work at my table. YMMV. Mike

    Animal Companion help

    Well, on a purely mechanical level... the alternate animal lists are more powerful. But you may have trouble walking through town with a Dire something... where as no one would give a second glance to somebody walking around with a dog or a horse. An advanced initial companion looks the same...
