Perhaps you are approaching the pricing backwards. Why assume that the attributes are slotless? Start by pricing an innate (as a continuous Su ability) armor bonus that DOES use the bracers slot. In Magic of Incarnum terms, that binds the Arms chakra. Should that only cost 115% normal...

But you'd think, if there was one type to call out, construct would be it, right? The one that there are actually rules to make by magic? It's not a perfect argument, I know (also, note I edited my post above, I forgot to add the counterargument and I thought nobody had responded yet), but...

Detect Magic does not allow spell resistance to apply, so (a minor school of disagreement aside) a golem's magic immunity does not prevent it from being detected. However, it is not entirely clear that golems radiate magic. There is good evidence for this (Golems are created with an item...

Fighter/Druid works very well, and if prestige classes are allowed, Druid/Master of Many Forms is powerful enough to break many games. At 12th level, my build along these lines adventured solely in the form of a fully equipped war troll, with all abilities intact. Actually, he scared the DM...

The flindbar from ... MMIII? is an exotic one-handed flail. 2d4 damage and it autodisarms on a critical. -- gnfnrf

If they are indistinguishable, how can Magic Missile target some of them and not the rest? Maybe they are indistinguishable to Magic Missile as well? -- gnfnrf

Thank you. I take it, then, that you believe that this covers all other forms of melee attacks to deliver touch spells, such as natural weapons and Hideous Blow, as well, even though it only explicitly mentions IUS. Is there a particular reason for this, or are you just extrapolating from the...

I can't find anything about this in the FAQ or Complete Arcane (the section on spells and criticals on p 85 doesn't mention anything that I could tell.) Do either of you have a specific citation or quotation? -- gnfnrf

A touch spell can discharge as a critical hit, with a threat range of 20 and a multiplier of x2. While holding the charge on a touch spell, you can attack with a natural weapon, discharging the spell and dealing regular damage if the attack hits. If the natural weapon attack is a critical hit...

The creatures will decide whether or not they wish to save normally. Confusion affects a creatures actions, not its defenses. Whether the creatures wish to be affected by Haste or not is their own decision. -- gnfnrf

Exactly that. They are wholly divine. They don't work to become divine, it just happens. A cleric with knowledge: religion knows details about all religions. He knows this because (as I see it) in his intensive studies to become closer to his god, he learns about how others have done so in...

No, it's full caster progression. It's the section headed "Spells Per Day/Spells Known" exactly like in any other prestige class. -- gnfnrf

In the Rainbow Servant prestige class, it explains that sorcerers are likely to take the class to increase their spells known by adding the domain spells. On page 20, it explains that when sorcerers gain domain access, they must spend spells known slots normally to learn the spells; they can't...

Note that the +1 caster level in the text says at each level, not at certain levels. According to errata policies, when the text and the table disagree, follow the text. That makes the rainbow servant pretty broken. On the other hand, the way the rainbow servant implies the extra spells on...

Only if they take up a body slot. -- gnfnrf

I would be initially wary of such an item. The closest thing in core rules are the bracers of archery. The lesser is 5k for a +1 competence bonus to attacks, plus a proficiency benefit. The greater is 25k for a +2 to attacks, a +1 to damage, and the proficiency benefits. But how can we tell...

Well, flame tongue specifically is just a a +1 flaming burst longsword (18,315 gp) with the added use-activated ability to cast scorching ray at 3rd caster level 1/day (2000*2nd level *3rd CL* 1 charge /5 = 2400 gp) So it's probably safe to move that ability to other items. Equipment like...

In the XPH, there are notes for converting mind flayers to make them fully psionic creatures. Is it me, or does this seriously overpower the mind flayer? The stock mind flayer gets 4 or 5 spell-like abilities at will, of which charm monster and plane shift (offensive) are the keys. Powerful...

I've seen the FB twice. Once, in 3.0, I had one in my RtToEE campaign as a PC. He never killed another PC, though he tried. The big problem was that, since he had to be dropped after every fight, he took up a lot of healing resources. Then a bunch of shadows and wraiths killed him. Then I...

Sorry, mate. I had written my post earlier, but forgot to click the post button. As for your point, I respectfully disagree. Your estimated 50,000 man army costs a minimum of 15,000 gp a day in wages, according to the hireling prices in the SRD. Mind you, that's just at minimum wage. For a...
