Darkspiral Aura triggers as an immediate interrupt, so it's a no-go during your turn (see the FRPG errata).

*groan* *golf clap* :D

Love the idea! What about this for some cleaned-up feat language? Adapted Combat Training [Heroic] Benefit: Choose an ability score. When making an attack roll that keys off of the chosen ability, you gain a +1 feat bonus to the associated ability modifier for the purpose of the attack roll. At...

Possible error in the PH, on page 133: The Frigid Darkness Warlock power states that the target "grants combat advantage to all of your enemies until the end of your next turn." Considering the flavor text and the rest of the power's effects, it should probably say "its" or "their" instead...

Never much cared for xp costs. We've replaced the xp costs for spells with "special materials and reagents" worth (spell's xp cost x 5) gp. Hasn't been a problem, so far, and (more importantly) nobody has fallen behind in the progression. It basically turns xp-intensive spells into party gp...

For magic items, no. Note that the system above was for magic item creation only (no skill checks required). My group hasn't had any real problems with the default system for creating normal (non-magical) items with the Craft skill.

Personally, I use a modified version of the RPGA's Eberron stuff for magic item creation: Magic item creation no longer requires XP; instead, item creation feats allow you to make items for 75% the normal market price (this replaces the normal cost to create). The Extraordinary Artisan and...

NP. The basic rule is that bonuses to abilities apply to the total scores rather than directly to the ability modifiers unless specifically noted otherwise.

It adds +2 to your Str score (and thus +1 to your Str bonus) when using composite bows.

Though it is worth noting that the mind blade can be sundered -- it has a real, tangible existence. Personally, I'd say that augment crystals can be attached, but only if the blade has a +1 enhancement bonus or better (until then, it is neither a masterwork weapon nor a weapon with an...

That's the way I see it. If there are two perfectly viable interpretations of a given rule, and one of those interpretations causes fewer headaches ... :)

... Except for that pesky "Same Effect With Differing Results" clause on page 172 of the Player's Handbook. As I understand it, each casting of heroics overwrites the effects of the previous casting for that target. I could be wrong, though. *shrugs*

Personally, if I were going to modify the feat, I'd just make it a logical extension of Stunning Fist. Something like: Touch of Golden Ice [Exalted] Your touch can be hazardous to evil creatures' health. Prerequisites: Cha 13, Stunning Fist, base attack bonus +8. Benefit: Declare that you are...

As I've noted before on another thread, Golden Ice is the bane of succubi. The default succubus has a Cha of 26 (a +8 bonus) and a Dex of 13. Combined with the "evil outsider" +2 ravage damage bonus, the poor succubus is taking 1d6+10 Dex damage on a failed save -- which, on average (13.5), will...

One thing worth noting (if you haven't already) is that nowhere in the feat's description does it say you actually have to hit your opponent when using Stone Power to generate temporary HP. It is nice that even if you miss with your strike or attack (perhaps due to the penalty from Stone Power)...

Kind of. Only at low (4th-ish) levels, and only the Crusader. The combination of the crusader's delayed damage pool, the Martial Spirit stance, and the Stone Power feat made for a nasty, nasty tank at low levels. Once we leveled-up some, the playing field was a lot more even. We never had any...

Are you going to throw down a similar system for limiting comat-focused spellcasters? 'Cause, you know, they can blow their most powerful spell-load in a few rounds too. And what about all the other combat-based "x/day" abilities? Should they be similarly limited? Seriously, though, I'm not...

A few questions to help clarify what you're trying to do: Are you planning on giving the "shrunk" classes prerequisites (ala D20 Modern's Advanced Classes), or is this a global mechanics change (no more 20-level base classes at all)? Also, do you plan on limiting spellcasting/invocation...

[Frenzied Berserker joke] ... except you can't even take a 5' step between irony attempts. [/Frenzied Berserker joke] :)

As mentioned by Quez above, Heroics (Sor/Wiz 2) is the spell you're looking for. It may be of limited usefulness, but Master's Touch (a Bard/Sor/Wiz 1, from Spell Compendium) grants you proficiency with a touched weapon or shield for the duration of the spell; that's kinda like a feat. :)
