Beware the 20th level cat bard!

Hey, he convinced the queen, right? It's all about the shoes, baby, it's all about the shoes.

Beware the 20th level cat bard

Anyone else ever heard about Puss in Boots? Strikes me as a Bard or Swashbuckler type. Scarry thought... NEW NPC TIME!!

Technically speaking, the damage is rolled twice, but SEPERATLY. Therefore, the attack would do 2 pts of damage, excluding any other magics.

Love the kitty pic The It's Man.

Also, who would've thought a basic question would expand into a rules debate? I love this site.

Can you find a page number or a quote from the SRD about that?

From the D&D 3e SRD

A critical hit means that the attacker rolls for damage more than once, as indicated by the weapon description for the weapon that scored the threat, with all the attacker's usual bonuses, and add the rolls together to get total damage.

There you go James McMurray. It says you roll more than once and that they are added together. For me, that's seperate damage. Of course, I can see how it is open for interpretation.

Thanks! As I said, unless you're a commoner, it shouldn't really matter all that much, but its nice to know.

But can a cat gain levels in sorcerer, fighter, etc.?

Beware the 20th level cat bard!

An awakened cat? I'd allow it!

On an unrelated note, the Dread Pirate class was in Song & Silence, right?

Yes. You're really thinking of Piratecat, aren't you?
