Ok, this issue will make things a little harder for medium-size PCs and a lot harder for small ones, but I think if they are making this change, there will be low level permanent spells to resize objects (a permanent and object-only version of enlarge or reduce). In the worst case, you could use a resize spell and permanency.

And that it's far less ridiculous than a huge magic armor that becomes small in the hands of a little halfling. It could be an interesting power for a single magic armor, but not an unconsistent constant.

Hey Kweezil mate!

Something I've been planning to use myself. After all, animated objects get a hardness score, why not golems.

Absolutely.

The problem would be that they'd be all but unkillable. Immunity to criticals reduces the meleer's damage, high AC stops use of power attack and magic immunity stops the high-damage spells.

I think it would be great for Golems.

The mithril and adamantine golems would be nigh unstoppable (hardness 15 and 20), and an obdurium golem... (hardness 30).

Well they would all be considered Epic Golems, so I wouldn't see a problem with it.

Andy Collins just confirmeed the Dungeon info about rangers ... Good Fort and Reflex saves are in.

Link?

Link?

Rangers get good Fort & Reflex saves.

Also, based on the Dungeon 100 stat blocks, looks like Skill Focus is definitely up to +3 (maybe this was confirmed elsewhere, but this is the first evidence I've seen).

Item creation feats exist for a reason. Use them. There's no need to have magically resizing items as a default condition when PCs can easily create their own or comission their creation.

Monks and Greater Flurry

I haven't seen any mention of the Monk and Greater Flurry that was brought up over here:

[Olgar Shiverstone]

I'm not sure yet what to make of the monks ... there appear to be some errors in those stat blocks, and thus it's hard to say what's a revision and what is an error. We need some independent confirmation.

 

[CrimsonTemplar]

This is something I hadn't thought of. I hope we see changes here. The current druid's weapon restrictions are arbitrary. And I haven't yet come across a good rationalization for the current list being the way it is.

Which one's in particular do you have problems with?

The Scimitar is the only one I really have problems with. Now, if they specified that it has to be forged of Meteoric Iron or crafted from wood and imbued with the Ironwood spell I could see it.

 

[CrimsonTemplar]

One more thing...

Does anyone know if the Two-Weapon Defense virtual feat that Rangers get @ 6th is just a renamed version of Off-Hand Parry?

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Unknown, but that probably isn't a bad guess.
