    We went from 5 saving throws to...64!

    I'm not particularly in favor of skilled based everything, but to add a counterpoint, tying character concept to class restricts versatility of the classes and limits player creativity. In both cases, you can make skill rank = level and then reference level against the BAB/save progression of...

    Reach vs. Combat Maneuver-provoked AOOs

    Your opponent doesn't threaten the square you are in so, while you technically provoke an AoO, your opponent can't make an AoO. On a failed disarm/trip attempt, he may still try to disarm/trip you (or you can drop your weapon to avoid it).

    Combat Reflexes a Rogue Must-Have Feat?

    I don't see why. Combat Reflexes is generally considered underpowered. Oh and the other stuff, remember that a pure Rogue can qualify for a 3rd level stance only at 10th level. (Requires Martial Adept initiator level of 5, rogues have a martial adept initator level of 1/2 the class levels.)...

    Eldritch Knight core class - help me build

    [off-topic]Actually, my primary concern with Duskblades is those numerous spells per day combined with Complete Warrior's Arcane Stike. Even then, it doesn't seem that amazing. Better than the standard, but broken? No, I don't think so.[/off-topic]

    Melee Evasion from PHB II

    If I were to revise it, I would have it subsitute BAB for armor bonus against one attack as an immediate action. More predictable and great for lightly armored combantants (Especially monks). If you want your skill with your weapon (weapon focus) to further improve your parry (melee evasion)...

    Combat Reflexes a Rogue Must-Have Feat?

    Normally, a 5' step never provokes an AoO, but if your combat reflexing rogue takes some martial feats (Martial Study and something else) to get the level 3 Devoted Spirit stance Glade of Thickets (I may have the name and/or discipline wrong.), then those 5' steps provoke. Actually, IIRC, all...

    Need a Substitute for Yuan-Ti

    Kobolds are reptile-men, which is close. :D

    Magical Item Compendium II-Staffs

    I agree. Possessing this staff and not knowing the spells means your Sorcerer can diversify a little more and at worst, teleportation magic is a night's rest away. A sorcerer would be glad have runestaff even if it just contained staple spells. Sure, relying completely on a staff for offensive...

    One of the Dragon Magazines swapped it out for a magic quarterstaff, IIRC.

    belt of might? +1 or +2 to all scores

    Just for reference, with the increased cost for additional different powers in an item that takes up a body slot, the prices (according to the guidelines) for the various levels are: +2 - 34,000 gp +4 - 136,000 gp +6 - 309,000 gp the 25k/100k/200k prices is a little less than the cost of an...

    Does damage from a touch attack ignore Damage Reduction

    A ghost's corrupting touch bypasses Damage Reduction because it is a Supernatural Ability, not because it is a Touch Attack. Negate is the terminology used in the Damage Reduction entry. Negate (without a qualifier such as partial) is all or nothing, while absorb is not. Therefore while I agree...

    Does damage from a touch attack ignore Damage Reduction

    From the SRD, Graft Weapon power* "For instance, the grafted weapon is treated as a natural weapon for the purpose of delivering a touch attack with a power in conjunction with the weapon attack. As with any power (or spell) melee touch attack made in conjunction with a natural weapon attack...

    Does damage from a touch attack ignore Damage Reduction

    Generally, disagreeing with Hypersmurf on rules interpretations is a bad idea, but along with my vote for "No", here's my rationale: Context matters. Touch attacks are not always delivered along with a melee attack (such as inflict this being delivered with an unarmed strike). However, they can...

    Pumping UMD?

    Rod of Mimicry (Arms & Equipment Guide) +10 UMD (and more) Admiral's Tricorn (Stormwrack I think): more expensive but it's a double strength circlet of persuasion I hear. What about Nymph's Kiss (BoED feat, don't recall effect)
