Quite a few people still think that they don't qualify for INA- but the issue was already clarified in one of the FAQs last year. (The only debate was whether or not a feat was an "effect" for purposes of the monk's unarmed improvement- and the FAQ clearly stated that YES, a feat IS an effect.)...

It seems all it would do is make the item easier to destroy, seeing as how it's temporarily non-magical. And, I guess if you happened to dispel it within 1d4 of when it was going to re-activate, but that's quite unlikely, as I'm sure you know. It's kinda like asking, "What would happen if I...

Then again, what if the player wanted to play a Goliath Sorcerer? Would his Fireball deal d8s instead of d6s? In other words, just because one race is better suited for one class doesn't mean it has to be suited for other classes. -UG

Wait... there's ranged melee weapons now?

Whoa, whoa, whoa- first thing, the Robe of Eyes doesn't grant True Seeing. At all. It lets you see invisible and Ethereal creatures, yes. But it doesn't let you see through illusions. All of its benefits are clearly spelled out in the item's description. True Seeing is required to make the robe...

Nope, only on specific kinds of DR, and only from specific sources. Golems can't overcome DR/adamantine, Fey can't overcome DR/Cold Iron, and Lycanthropes can't overcome DR/Silver, unless specifically mentioned.

They also didn't inform the artist that the abjurant champion specifically does not wear armor or a shield. (In the picture, the abjurant champion is obviously wearing armor AND a shield.) Poorly made class, imho.

As far as making it permanent (that is, non-dispellable), you could use Nystul's Magic aura, permanented with the Permanency spell. As far as making it a function of the item itself, well, that's opening up a can of beans that, as frankthedm said, has a lot of implications.

If I'm not mistaken, the Aid Another action gives you a Deflection bonus to AC, does it not?

The only one in the core rules, if I'm not mistaken, is the Luck Blade (in the DMG- it can be kinda pricy, however, since the rules assume you buy it with five Wishes added into its abilities). Among other things, it gives you a +1 luck bonus to all saves, and a reroll once per day. You may...

That ability is incredibly poorly worded, it seems, and if taken literally, is WAY too powerful. So, for every rank you put in a knowledge skill, you get two ranks, and they don't even have to be the same skill? Wtf? Obviously, that's not a 3.5 WotC book. I wouldn't allow it, purely due to the...

Try making him a Frenzied Berserker, too. Then you'd need stats for Rage, Shift, Frenzy, Shift & Rage, Shift & Frenzy, Rage & Frenzy, Fatigued, Fatigued & Shift, Exhausted, Exhausted & Shift. Oh, and I can't remember if you're allowed to Frenzy while Fatigued... if so, then tack on Fatigued &...

There's also the Quick trait from Unearthed Arcana that (at the cost of -1 hp per hit die) gives you a +5 increase to your land speed, I believe.

Wait- when did magic die?!

Yes, it does provoke. It seems to go against the flavor of the ability, but it's been made relatively clear (it was clarified in a FAQ, and one of the Epic Feats on WotC's website for Warlocks specifically mentions that the Warlock no longer provokes AoO's on a Hideous Blow). You can always use...

The problem with it, to my understanding, is that it's never worth it. In every case, it's more advantageous to simply Power Attack for 2 (netting the same attack penalty), which raises your average damage by 4 with a two-handed weapon (as opposed to the average for more enlarged weapons, which...

The reason for this, of course, is simple- if they require your base save (that is, save bonuses that can ONLY be derived from class levels), they can limit the level at which you can access the PrC, without forcing you to spend feats and skill points and such in an unnecessary manner. In other...

Need I point out that a Sorcerer/Wizard loses absolutely nothing by equipping a Monk's belt, and easily gains several points of AC?

In our campaigns, we've actually gotten rid of Combat Casting altogether, replacing it entirely with Skill Focus: Concentration. Any PrCs that require Combat Casting now require Skill focus instead. (We've also done away with Toughness, replacing it with Improved Toughness.)

...except the generic classes from UA aren't meant to be used in conjunction with actual classes. That's why they're generic.
