    how much does firewood iluminate?

    I also couldn't find listed anywhere visual range for night time conditions (eg starlight, moonlight etc), any idea where one might find those ?

    No spell resistance vs. Orb spells? Why?

    Using 28 point buy, I'd never even consider making a character that didn't start with at least 14 con, no matter what class it is. Preferably more (I'm a big fan of gnomes as wizards/sorcerers).

    Radiant Servant Empowered/Maximized Healing

    Well sort of. If you take the domain caster optional feature from PHB2 and select the heal domain, then you can spontaneously cast any Heal Domain spell instead of the normal Cure <xxx>s... and they would qualify for the empower/maximise. Alternatively with that Domain Spontaneity feat...

    I need anime fans! Help me stat Banryu!

    It isn't the same type of weapon as a d&d halberd thats for sure; I'd probably just use something similair to greatsword or bastard sword stats for it. The weapon as used in the anime doesn't really justify reach, but you may want to to differentiate it in some other way.

    I need anime fans! Help me stat Banryu!

    No, he's right; its a type of halberd. Halberd is actually a group of weapons. The halberd statted up in d&d is the most common of them, the swiss halberd, however there are other distinct weapons that can be referred to as halberds such as the naginata, guan do, lochaber axe, etc.

    Frostburn Spells II: Freeze Armour

    I actually think this one is fine; its only really useful against the creatures that have fort as their strongest save anyway, and while it looks like alot of damage at a glance, most fights will typically be over in 2-4 rounds anyway.

    Should Goliaths be ECL +2?

    Keep in that mind as Goliath's have a bonus to con as part of their stat adjustments, in the long run they'll have more hitpoints than other races, not less, even with the LA. As for the story of the first level goliath that died quickly; well given that he has the approximately the same...

    My Hit Point and Dying Rules, are they too easy?

    While at first it sounds like a good idea, there are a few flaws. Firstly normally the average hp per level is (half max roll + 0.5). ie. 4.5 for a d8 class etc. Rerolling only low rolls means that you're gaurenteed to raise the average hitpoints, as you get rid of all the low rolls, but keep...

    Divine Focus in use... what??

    It pretty simple; unless the only spell component is verbal, then you need a hand free. A lot of DMs may overlook this and let your cleric with a warhammer and a heavy shield cast spells anyway, but by RAW this isn't allowed.

    Catfolk get natural armour. Amulets of Natural Armour give natural armour enhancement bonuses. They stack. Also if you really care about AC, having natural armour allows you to take the Improved Natural Armour feat for +1 each time (probably more useful than dodge!) Races of...

    What's a Cleric to do...

    I'm not sure I entirely understand this; a neutral cleric can't cast necromancy spells and remain good... they're not good, they're neutral ! That aside, as a neutral cleric you can cast any spell you want. If you were a good cleric then you would be forbidden from casting spells with the [evil]...

    Warrior-Mage Prestige Classes: which are viable & which are not

    Eh, the energy resistance boost is somewhat mediocre. If you're dropping spells of 2nd-6th levels then resist energy will provide roughly the same protection as dropping your highest spell slot, and it will do it for hours rather than 1 round. If you're dropping spells of levels 7th+ for energy...

    Certain basic feats that should exist (IYO) but don't

    Bard PrCs generally have "bardic music ability" as a requirement. If in fact some instead have 3rd level arcane spells and 8 ranks in perform, it sounds like its a conscious design decision to potentially allow arcane casters into the PrC. Especially as bardic arcane spells aren't til 7th (or...

    Keen Luck Blade of Subtlety

    As unnamed bonuses and enhancement bonuses always stack, it would appear Shatterspike doesn't grant a +4 unnamed bonus; it grants a +3 unnamed bonus. The +4 is simply the total of all its bonuses. Wizards less than stellar editing record and similarities in the way the items are worded leave...

    Keen Luck Blade of Subtlety

    Contrasting things (as I'd done) isn't 100% helpful as other examples where the enhancement bonus is replaced under certain conditions (sword of planes, shatterspike) or where you get an additional improvement to it (dwarven thrower) both spell out explicitly how it works; sword of subtlety is...

    Keen Luck Blade of Subtlety

    Its not clear in the way the sword of subtlety is worded, but all the other weapons use the higher bonus they get under certain conditions instead of the lower bonus, rather than as well as. For example, the Sword of the Planes. Only functions as a +4 sword against outsiders and while on...

    Keen Luck Blade of Subtlety

    The sneak attack thing is much more than +1, and is imo quite overpriced. Its more expensive than a flat +3 sword, and generally sneak attacking is when you least need the extra attack and damage.

    Warrior-Mage Prestige Classes: which are viable & which are not

    Am I missing something? Isn't a twilight chain shirt only 5100gp? (100gp chain shirt, +1000 gp mithral for light armour, +4000gp for +2 equivalent)

    Paladin Variant Traits And Variant Aasimar Race Questions

    To be fair, the warforged is a heavily modified type of construct (and they still didn't get it right; they forgot to remove from warforged the bonus hp that constructs get). Elan is an exception as well. There's a variant LA +0 Aasimar listed in one of the faerun books... all they did was...

    Paladin Variant Traits And Variant Aasimar Race Questions

    I think they should be type humanoid if you want them to be LA +0. For whatever reason it appears no matter how weak a race is, if it isn't humanoid it has a level adjustment. (There's an exception or 2, I can't remember them offhand tho). See the genasai for example, some of those are just...
