    Arcane Consumption (PHB II) too consumptive?

    OK, that's another way to look at it. I'll scribe it down. ;) Kind regards Zombie Wizards with Haste! :D

    Holding breath

    Yeah! That's the one. In WotC's Glossary "Drowning" the time to hold breath is also doubled, as I know by now. Kind regards and glad you made it :D

    Holding breath

    Hold! Stop! Come to rest! Easy! Relax! Clear your mind! Free your soul! Let it come slowly to you, like a gentle wave! :D I2K and me are talking about the discrepancy that arose due to various printings of the Player's Handbook. My old PHB 3.5 (July 2003) does NOT mention in the description...

    Arcane Consumption (PHB II) too consumptive?

    Ahhh! ;) There you go! You need Toughness, Arcane Toughness (Toughness), and an arcane caster level of 6th or more to take the feat. The "fluffy" text (not the description of the benefit, mind you!) tells us to "sacrifice the caster's health". So, it seems that you can take that feat if...

    Holding breath

    Aha! Nice catch! I could've looked there, too. ;) Seems to be a copy and paste error by the Wizards of the Coast, I guess. Thanx

    Holding breath

    ??? For Mount Olympus' sake! I've not - I repeat: not - felt sarcastically, snarkily or anything else-ly threatened by any of your replies. :D But still I'm not entirely convinced yet.

    Divine Feat: Sacred Healing GOOFED?

    Hi! Why does the Player's Handbook II, p. 89 contain a divine feat named Sacred Healing whith a different function from the one in the Complete Divine, p. 84? Is this a goof, or was that a conscious choice by the Wizards of the Coast to replace the feat in the Complete Divine? *scratching the...

    Holding breath

    That's not the point. The point is this text from the Swim skill: You can hold your breath for a number of rounds equal to twice your Constitution score... and You can hold your breath for a number of rounds equal to [...] your Constitution score... depending which printing of the Player's...

    Holding breath

    Aha! There IS a discrepancy and there ISN'T an erratum. OK! I'm not slipping any update. :D. Emphasis mine. So, the official canon suggests that I'd follow the rules given in the Player's Handbook. But what if two versions of the Player's Handbook (print) exist? Which one to follow. The...

    Holding breath

    Hi! I don't get it. What's the official 3.5 rule for holding one' breath. Is it: * Any character can hold her breath for a number of rounds equal to twice her Constitution score. or * Any character can hold her breath for a number of rounds equal to [once] her Constitution score. My PHB...

    Arcane Consumption (PHB II) too consumptive?

    Hi! Does anyone accord with me that the price for Arcane Consumption (PHB II feat, p. 74) is too high to pay? Does a once-per-day +4 bonus on a save DC outweigh a -4 penalty to Con for 12 hours plus fatigue? In which common case (spell/class feature/granted power) is a swift +4 bonus on a...

    Mithril Studded Leather?

    Hi! Races of the Wild has a nice overview of all common armor types that can be forged with mithral. The chart is an easy reference sheet for all stats mithral will change - ranging form Maximum Dexterity Bonus to Arcane Spell Failure Chance. ;) Enjoy!

    Whats the point of monkey grip?

    That would be the above mentioned Shackled City Dwarven Fighter. BUT, the combination of Monkey Grip and Oversized Two-Weapon Fighting does NOT allow you to wield TWO oversized weapons. Only one oversized weapon and one normal sized weapon. So the Dwarven waraxes would be wielded with -4/-2...

    Whats the point of monkey grip?

    Hi! My Shackled City Dwarven Fighter began with a Monkey Gripped Large Dwarven Waraxe (2d8 damage) in one hand and a Heavy Shield in the other hand. Maybe that's the way you should look for an answer? ;)...

    Mithril Studded Leather?

    Hi! Checking "Races of the Wild, p. 167, there's no mention of mithral studded leather armor. So, if you want to implement a studded leather armor with mithral studs, it would be - as Thanee already posted - more expensive, a little lighter (perhaps 2 lbs.), but else it wouldn't provide any...

    Pious Templars and Casting

    Hi! Keep in mind that some o'the spells a paladin/blackguard has access to aren't available to a nonlawful/nonchaotic pious templar, according to the spell's alignment descriptor. Enjoy!
