No, you don't. They're more badass from skill, not physical bulk. ) Can you do nonlethal attack with a sneak attack (Only if it would do nonlethal damage anyway. A good cosh is a great addition to a rogues arsenal, especially if you fancy a bit of kidnapping.)Surely that means rogues ought to be proficient in the sap, despite it being a martial weapon. (Correct! We have already erratad that, so worry ye not! ) Can you sneak attack while raging (Yes, weirdly enough. ) Do prestige classes still ignore multiclassing penalties. (Oh dear. I guess that like the point buy system, we forgot to keep that in. It's still an Official Rule though. You'll just have to keep your 3.0 books around to be on the safe side, in case the incompetent updaters missed anything else important out.)What happens if you try a coup de grace with nonlethal damage (It knocks them out if it would normally kill them. )   Many animated objects have hardness affect, if any, will an animated objec on spells used against the animated example, an animated wooden table nes wou affec fire bol arre and (I'm sorry man, you're breaking up. Skip can't answer your question now. Call back later. You will still be charged the full cost for this call.)If you suffer a mishap using a scroll, is it used up (Yes. Talk about adding insult to injury) Can you take 10 or 20 when casting a scroll (No, neither are applicable. This is what happens when you mess with forces beyond your ken.)How does Rary's Mnemonic enhancer work (If you're retaining, straight away. If you're adding, you've still got to take a time out. Does anyone use retainers these days? Skip will laugh at you if you do. Retainers are soooo 80's. It's almost as bad as shoulderpads.) Dork tower messes up and prints the same strip twice in a row. Nodwick goes oriental adventuring. Nothing changes but the names. It's the circle of life. And so with a 5th issue of shallowly skimming formulaic crunchy stuff in a row, I'm forced to conclude 2003 has just won the title of most boring and formulaic year in the magazine's history away from 1998. Hopefully it'll hold onto it for a few years, not surrender it straight away to 2004, but I'm not making any bets. In any case, Paizo either are not enjoying any more creative freedom than they did as part of WotC, or are still too busy finding their footing running the practical aspects of a business to be properly adventurous with their article topics and stylings, and it really makes reading multiple articles in one go an absolute chore, even when individual ones are good. More Incursion, less 6 flavor in one breakfast packs please.</blockquote>
