Sorry, poor example. Lets use the Ring of Protection instead, since it also costs 8000 for a +2.

The ring of force shield is definitively an overpriced item. I say this because compared to other magic items that provide AC bonuses that are not an armor bonus, it cost more. For example, an Amulet of Natural Armor +2 costs 8000 gold, while the Ring of Force Shield costs 8500. They both...

The FAQ is a poor source to pull from. It is notorious for creating rulings that are flawed and/or create new rules. In this case, the faq is explaining that the tower shield specifically allows casters to target an individual that takes cover behind the shield by target the shield. (as per the...

Could you explain what you mean? I am not following.

Thanks for the correction mvincent.

"You cannot extend "True Strike" to be contiuous since it has no duration that is measure in rounds/minutes..." -gabriel_z True strike has a duration, so there is no reason it couldn't be made continuous. The catch here is that the duration ends once the target makes an attack. "Nor can you...

"When used against an object, the ray simply disintegrates as much as one 10- foot cube of nonliving matter. " is the wording used by disintegrate. Is a sword an object made of non-living material? Now if it is a magic sword then the sword would get a save and the damage would have to reduce the...

Disintegrate gives specific rule for what happens when the spell is used by the against items. So disintegrate can be used against items on a person and would follow the rules for targeting held items, and the save the item gets.

The problem here stems from the equation for magic items that emulate spells. This equation is horribly inadequate at estimating the price of the item. There are numerous examples were this equation cause items to be either under-priced or over-priced. Your question is a special exception...

I agree with Hyp. His conclusions are sound. But to further the support for the bonus feats requiring the pre-reqs, if I remember correctly the artificer bonus feat list has feat chains in it. Thus it implies (but does not confirm) that the writers intention was that you would need the lesser...

Most of the times that I see lycanthrope, they have special armor that works both in human form and hybrid, or they wear armor for hybrid form and just expect to shift when entering combat(and thus the armor fits correctly). Given this doesn't work as well when the hybrid form is a different...

The only time I would think this would be useful, is if you do not have easy access to wands and you happen to be a warlock with craft wand. Else either you can buy a new one or you can cast the spell from yours spells.

If I remember correctly, the DMG has a section on animals and magic items. It gives a list of common slots on animals, but says that in the end it is up to the DM to determine if a slot is appropriate to the animal.

I am not certain about multiclassing as a summoner. Its really a hard decision, since while you lose higher level summons, you gain versatility to have the right summon for the right situation.

Given that the item does not state the skill of the work create, I would rule that he would have to make all the skill checks related to the work being done (though I would only require one check instead of 100). This resolves the issue of determining the amount of work achieved, since the craft...

I have never been particularly fond of training systems. I have found that people preference for this is largely based on the type of learner the player/dm is. If the player is an individual that follows the focused and methodical then they tend to perceive training as making complete sense...

I find this a particularly interesting write up. I appreciate the effort you put into fleshing out the fluff of the race as much as the crunchy bits. The only thing that I see that is missing is a CR/EL/Racial HD/etc

If you use the spell compendium the spell focus (conjuration) becomes much less of a throw away feat. This is because of great spells like Arc of Lightening. These conjuration spells give a point to the spell focus. That being said, Nifft is absolutely correct. It is worthwhile even with the...

Lies, all lies. Nothing can do more damage that a two-hand power attacking barbarian. :-p

Wasn't saying that it was a good idea, just giving an example of the problem :-p
