    Can Feat "slots" be held over?

    Although if you allow the XPH and have access to a friendly psion you may be able to get a psychic reformation to return to a past level to repick a feat as if you were that level. A great power for tuning your character to your concept if you found you messed things up some.

    Why is the Extra Rings feat designated an Item Creation feat?

    Oh, I understand and agree the flavour and logic statements. Its just the balance side of it. I know that fighters and rogues are more gear dependant so two new slots would help them a little more than a caster. But if anything the noncasters need it more at these levels (12+) beause the...

    Why is the Extra Rings feat designated an Item Creation feat?

    To be honest, while I can that keeping atune magic weapon out of most fighters hands might be wanted, I can't see the gain in giving the extra rings feat only to 12+ level casters over other classes either. Of course I haven't played that much Eberron so I'm just leaving it at RAW right now.

    Why is the Extra Rings feat designated an Item Creation feat?

    Maybe for the balance of giving you two new item slots on your body it requires you to be high level, the prerequiste is you need to know is Forge Ring. All of those Eberron feats seek to give some more edge to item creators. Making them item creation lets those casters pick them as normal...

    Dervish, Scimitar, Light Weapons and Grappling

    Or a monkey grip / goliath / half-giant using a large size one. :D

    Probability vs. Point Buy

    As a point that may be of interest my current campaign lets people generate on the 32 point buy or "4d6 drop lowest, total bonuses have to be at least +1". I went for the point buy with everyone else going the roll and my character is about the middle of the range in stats. Albeit of a sample...

    Do intelligent weapons sleep? (and more)

    Also remember that each plus on a weapon, shield or armor grants +2 hardness and +10 hp. So your +2 bow isn't quite so easily sundered. :) I know if I was a magic weapon I'd be insisting on getting more pluses added and imagine how much nagging something that doesn't have to sleep can do. ;)

    Why doesn't the Blackguard get Divine Favour?

    Although Hexblade and Paladin don't mix while Hexblade and Blackguard do. :) A BBEG Rogue / Hexblade / Blackguard makes players sit up and notice. Sneak attacks, evasion, mettle and twice charisma bonus to all saves == Ouch.

    magic-psionic transparency

    Hello, just a series of questions seeing how people run psionics/magic interactions. Or think they should be run. :) Playing by the default rules of magic-psionic transpancy should the psionic skills and feats be actually seperate to the magic versions? Divine Magic and Arcane Magic share...

    WotC Miniatures

    With all the large size figures being rares is painful, since a good amount of commonly encountered DnD monsters are large. Even with a few odd uncommons being large in upcoming sets I would still love to see a "Large Box" expansion along the same line as the huges for GoL.

    If a DM can't cheat, can a player cheat?

    I normally DM a lot more than I play and I have to watch out that I dont habitually fudge a roll when playing to up the tension/enjoyment, treating my PC as an important NPC. A player shouldn't fudge as they are part of a team, and each team member should be playing on the same level. One...

    WotC Miniatures

    Having piles of GW miniatures laying around I held off on DnD ones until Giants of Legend came out. The quality was good enough for me to then invest in them for the types of monsters unique to DnD. Now if I could only find a use for my horde of Nightwalkers....

    Necromancer Artificer - DCs and Power level.

    Excuse the Bump :) No ideas on whether this would be a case of carrying on the DC of the Infusion or treating it similar to a summoned monster with its own spells and DCs?

    Necromancer Artificer - DCs and Power level.

    An artificer at 5th level acquires the armor infusion that allows a +5 or 100,000 gp enhancement onto an armor or shield. This includes Control Undead which lets them use the armor or shield to cast the 7th level wizard spell Control Undead. Would the DC the undead have to make be: 1) 20 -...

    How do Immediate Actions work?

    The Cloak of Elemental Protection from the MiniHB works almost exactly the same a Specified Energy Adaption and it explictly states it can be activated in response to an energy attack so this seems to be the way the power is intended to work. I would say that you can use it against an incoming...

    Parrying enchantment?

    From the XPH part of the SRD - Parrying: A parrying weapon perceives an instant into the future, and of its own accord resists melee and ranged attacks aimed at the wielder, granting a +1 insight bonus to the wielder’s Armor Class. The weapon is so adept at parrying that it even affects incoming...

    PrCs with "Death Attack" ability...

    The Stonedeath Assassin from Races of Stone has a death attack IIRC. Interestingly enough the class doesn't actually require you to be evil, just a goblinoid.

    Reviews Not Influecing Buying?

    While I do read online reviews when undecided about a product, quite often it is a thread on a place like here that sparks my interest in the first place and determines my leaning. Including a while ago some game called "DnD 3rd Ed" on Eric Noah's boards. :)

    Spells that bypass DR?

    From the SRD: DIRE CHARGE [EPIC] Prerequisite: Improved Initiative. Benefit: If the character charges a foe during the first round of combat (or the surprise round, if the character is allowed to act in it), he or she can make a full attack against the opponent charged. Normal: Without this...
