MotW blooper: Animal Lord (Snakelord)

[loviatarfrostbringer]

Hi all,

I noticed an error in MotW and wondered if anyone has seen an errata on it.

In the prerequisites of Animal Lord, you need a prereq. feat of Resist Poison to get the PrC...but the First Totem power you get is also Resist Poison as a bonus feat.

Either...

a> the bonuses stack;
b> the bonuses do not stack and you get shafted even more for taking the PrC;
c> the authors/editor didn't proofread enough.

All in all, I like MotW and for a lot of reasons. It is full of errors that were quite unprofessional. I cannot wait to see the MotW errata that WotC puts out.

And I am a Star Trek nitpicker and proud of it!

Any other errors people have found?

On another thread I mention the error which assumes that rangers get bluff and sense motive as class skills (Doh!) and the error that assumes that rangers add their favoured enemy bonus to hit (Doh!)

Cheers

I noticed that right when the book came out (I like snakes after all).

My DM and I reasoned that the bonues stack. But we know that the editors missed it.

Yikes, now make him a dwarf, preferably with the snake blood feat from FRCG and we have a character with at least a +12 bonus on fort saves poison without even the basic fort save of the class Personally I would simply change the requirement feat.

Yeah. I was not a dwarf but at level 7 I could not fail the save from a tiny snake. And since since they do no damage I would scare people by having them bit me all the time.

Hee hee. According to the FAQ (this is NOT in the core rules, BTW), you fail saves on a 1. So perhaps your tactic is not so good?
