Message: <blockquote data-quote="(un)reason" data-source="post: 6050254" data-attributes="member: 27780">Dragon Issue 298: August 2002part 10/10Sage advice: Is craft (herbalist) separate from profession (herbalist) Skip's afraid so. You'll have to really split those skill points.)Can rangers improve their animal companions like druids (Yes, siree bawb.)Can you choose your new feat the same level you meet the prerequisites (yes)What's the point of being able to rage multiple times if it's so exhausting (You have overestimated the recovery time. Relax, don't do it, if you wanna rage.)How long is an encounter (Until you stop tracking time on a round by round basis)Does awaken alter your stats (read the spell. Yes it does.)The tamer of beast's powers don't synergize well (Oh dear. Don't worry so much. It's not a problem if you don't acknowledge it. )Can forsakers store up power from magic destruction (No. A little every day is better than occasional binges.)What's with the bloodhound's pacekeeping (It lets you keep up with faster things. You don't have to use it if they're slower than you anyway. How you use it is up to you.)What's with snakelords getting a power that they already needed as a prerequisite (oop. Errata time. Better substitute something appropriate.) What size are exotic weapon masters improvised weapons (You choose. This affects damage as normal.  )Do forsaker ability bonuses come on top of the usual level based ones (yes. Remember, these are very different mechanics.)Do barbarian and forsaker DR's stack (no)Do you have to be able to cast spells to become a shifter (Not neccecarily. Some races are cooler than others.)Does shadow add to all your hiding attempts (yes)Does spell turning also protect you from counterspells (oooh. This can get awkward. Better not be too strong a spell.)Do you have to delay to use reactive counterspell (No. You can sacrifice next round's action instead. What a lifesaver.)Are globes of invulnerability hollow (no. Your buffs are no good here. )Can sorcerers use scrolls below their casting level (They can use them, no problemo. Don't make trouble for yourself.)Can wizards scribe cure wounds spells from bard scrolls (no. It's not on their class list. Wizards are not the be all of arcane casting. )Can sorceror/wizards transfer spells between classes by scribing them as scrolls then copying them into their spellbooks (Yes. But at the normal cost. This means you need to think about if you can really be bothered.)Can undead use potions. (If they have a throat to swallow with. This is why it's important to take care of yourself as a lich around town.) What's new reveals where phil got those spikes. Crossover strikes again. What is this, sweeps week? Now stop eating babies. It's unprofitable for the species as a whole. Well, this was certainly an issue of extremes. Lots of very good articles, a couple of laughably bad ones, and some serious changes in the company, it definitely feels like another turning point in the magazine's history. As has been the case before, the turmoil makes things more interesting, but also more erratic. And once Paizo is set up and moved into their own offices, I have a feeling the dynamics of the magazine will change even more. As with the change of editors just before issue 200, it makes me wonder how well prepared they are for their next big celebration, and if we'll be seeing some more regular features introduced or on the chopping block. Better keep going, because time moves on, and we're still a fair distance away from the present.</blockquote>
