I believe that an octopus can only make two grapple attempts in a round (one at full value and one five less). If that is the case, how can it do an improved grab attempt 8 times in a round? :confused: I'm clearly missing something here but I don't know where-in lies my error.

Hmm, that's an interesting take on it Thanee. Could I get some references to back that up (not saying it ain't true, just want to read it for myself)? I can see that Enfeeblement inflicts a penatly to STR rather than STR 'damage', but how is this different than energy drain's negative levels...

Heh, thanks. I thought that sounded familiar :) So about the critical empowered spell. Normally, the spell would inflict a d6+3 strength penalty. Empowered that would be (d6+3) x 1.5 Critical'ed, that would be 2d6+6 My guess is that both operate on the base 'damage', so you'd get (d6+3)x1.5...

a little more info and pics: http://www.starwars.com/databank/starship/lambdashuttle/index.html Also, if you Google "Shuttle Tydirium", you can find lots of stuff (that's the Lambda Han and the gang flew in the movie).

If you hit an 18 Strength critter with a Ray of Enfeeblement for 6 points and then next round hit with anothe for 10 points, is the critter down 10 or 16 points total? It's an unnamed penalty to Strength, so it seems it should stack, but then there is that bit about a the same spell always...

The Stonelord (pg. 81, Complete Warrior) can get an ability like this: But bull's strength does not normally last one hour! Is this an editing error, or is this ability really supposed to have a super long duration (by 3.5 standards anyway)?

Stonelord from Complete Warrior. Sorry, should have said that up front. The DC is going to be 10 + spell level + CON, but I don't know which "spell level" to use, 4, 5 or 6.

Hold Monster is listed as "Level: Brd 4, Law 6, Sor/Wiz 5" but I am gaining the ability via the StoneLord PrC. How do I figure the save DC?

It seems to me that a Shatter spell can be used to sunder a held, non-magical weapon, no matter what it is made out of. This make the spell really useful (IMO) - more so than those encounters with brittle or crystaline objects/creatures. Am I correct in thinking that the spell can be used as...

A character needs to fight with a sword in his left hand. Is there a penalty for that? The right hand is empty and (by default) I'm assuming he is right handed unless everyone in D&D ambidextrous. Is there an off-hand penalty when just using one weapon for a single, normal, attack?

I have no problem at all with CE only being useful when you are actually fighting in melee combat. I guess we just imagine it differently. A fighter standing alone in the middle of hallway dodging blows ducking ripostes from enemies who are 40 feet away sounds pretty silly to me. But if you...

Check page 37 of the FAQ. It says that you can spend a Force Point on the craft and stat checks when constructing a lightsaber even those those actions take much longer than one round.

That's really funny (in a scary kind of way) that you EXPECT the DM to put tailored magic items in your path. For me, that ranks right up there with the DM fudging rolls so the PCs always win. I know it happens in some games, but not in any that I would ever be a part of. Of course, the point...

The DMG (p.304) says you can hold your breath for 2 rounds per point of CON. The PHB (p.84) says you can hold your breath for 1 round per point of CON (half that if you take standard actions). Which is correct?

Everyone seems to be focused on changing things (like feats) that you thought would be good but turned out not to be so good. My concern is purposely taking a feat that you KNOW you will swap out in three levels. For example, I'm a wizard so I take Toughness at 1st level. I know that those hp...

I've been reading through the PHBII Retraining section and was wondering what other people thought about the material. I'm especially concerned because the book has a name very similar to "The Player's Handbook", which might make many consider it "core" material. The "Retraining" rules let you...

It says the spell stored uses the minimum caster level but it doesn't mention minimum casting stat or anything else. Does a Ring of Spell Storing "remember" the characteristics of the spell other than caster level (ie. feats, INT). As an example: if a cleric with Augment Healing cast a Cure...

The spell description doesn't say what (if anything) happens to someone who enters the area of a Web spell after it is in place. Is there any official word on this situation?

But if we ask Sage Advice or Customer Service again, will we get the same answer? :\

I haven't used Doga but I would guess that 3DS MAX is pretty much the same thing with more options and heavier system requirements. I don't think MAX would be all that hard to learn as you really only use a small percentage of the features on any given project. Once you can build one starship...
