Lightsabers are energy-based weapons.

I don't think Question's character deals all that much damage, honestly. An orc can probably match that damage output. Lets make him a fighter 4/barbarian 11, and give him the Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, and Melee Weapon Mastery feats, and equip him with a belt of giant strength +6...

Well, I think that PCs should generally win in the long term, so I suppose that means that PCs should be more powerful than hostile NPCs by default. Does that equate to better?

I wouldn't go to far with that maxim--wall of force doesn't say it provides cover, for example.

"In melee" is defined, although the definition isn't in the most obvious place. It looks like you can use Combat Expertise with a ranged attack, so long as you're in an enemy's threatened area (which is generally not the best place to be making a ranged attack, but I guess that makes sure you'll...

Is there any means to determine the activation method of an artifact? The conventional methods (identify and analyze dweomer) don't work, and there doesn't seem to be any other way to determine command words and so forth. Do you just need to find someone who knows how to activate it or a book...

I don't think it provides cover. I think the reason creatures move at half speed is because the tentacles "grasp and entwine [...] creatures that enter the area" and "any creature that enters the area [...] is immediately attacked by the tentacles". I think allowing evard's black tentacles to...

I started playing D&D with the release of 3rd edition.

Your hit points don't change at all when using wildshape. You have the same hit points as a dire bear as you do when you're a geriatric goblin.

I think there's actually an argument that fire elementals can't lower their fire immunity and so forth. The entry says "special resistance to magic" and elves are "immun[e] to magic sleep effects". It seems like you could make the argument that unless the resistance or immunity makes special...

PHB, page 177.

Weapon Specialization also specifies that it does not stack with itself. So, unfortunatly, no +6 on attacks and +12 on damage by taking Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, and Greater Weapon Specialization for the thinblade, rapier, and longsword.

I've never liked using the various save-or-die spells as a DM. They never seemed like much fun, and they make having a high Fortitude save much more valuble than a high Reflex save. I think the big problem I have with them is that they cause a much greater expenditure of party resources than...

We've got a fighter/barbarian/ranger/psion/warmind, a marshall /w a cleric cohort, and my character, a psion (telepath).

I seem to remember that CustServ once said that if you psicrystal dies, you can aquire a new one after a waiting period, and they suggested the waiting period should be somewhere from 1 day to 1 week. I'm not sure where I read that, so take it with a grain of salt.

I've always prefered devils in the abstract (that is, I like the idea of lawful fiends more than chaotic ones). However, I find that, when looking at individual monsters, I find each individual demons more interesting. I find the balor more interesting than the pit fiend (and the balor has a...

The highest level I've ever reached in a base class was 16th level, which is also the highest level at which I have played a character. He was a psion, and they don't really have any good multiclassing options.

It says that two-handed weapons cannot be finessed in the feat description. You're right that nothing prevents you from using weapon finesse with a light weapon, rapier, or whip held in two hands.

Well, the normal price for a insight bonus to attacks rolls is bonus^2*2000 gp. Bonuses over +5 are epic magic items, and get a x10 price multiplier. So the final price for a +20 insight bonus to attack rolls is 20^2*2000*10 gp, or 8,000,000 gp.

I think he's neutral as well. He's far to willing to torture people to qualify as "good".
