Rathan's Problem Down Under [3.5 OOC/Recruiting One More: Need Arcane Type]

[Rathan]

Actually you can Unleashed it adds to your BASE stat it's not an enhancement per say... I do see how it can hurt as everyone else is getting a bound to attack.. or ac or what have you from their item.. after this level why shouldn't you be able to benefit from extra skills..

 

[unleashed]

Don't feel too bad Rathan, I'm not looking at it like that, as the extra Intelligence raises the save requirements of Eltyr's spells, which is often his bonus to attack as no other attack roll is required ... plus it adds to most of his skills too.

As for why Eltyr probably shouldn't benefit from extra skill points as he levels, I guess the conventional wisdom is because no other stat gives a permanent bonus if raised by an item. On the other hand the Intelligence modifier isn't completely retroactive like every other stat either, as it only alters skill points gained from when the modifiers changes. So I'm happy to go with whatever you decide, which is currently yes Eltyr gets extra skill point, assuming I haven't just talked you out of that decision.

For feats I usualy use Feat list. It is slower, but has full explanations and sources (sometimes multiple ones), but no page numbers.

Unfortunately, they don't offer multiple choice so when sources are limited one needs to select one, trawl through, rinse and repeat for each book allowed.

Yes, I use 'The future' constantly I have hard copy of PHB and somewhere DMG (borrowed it to a friend when I got children). Everything else is PDF from the internet.

 

[Rathan]

I don't see how it can hurt to give you skill points... if someone else thinks it's not fair then fine but my decision stands as is.... you get the extra SP from here-on in...

 

[Ambrus]

Rathan, due to an prerequisites oversight I find myself needing to replace a previously chosen feat. I was considering either Strength Devotion or Protection Devotion, both domain feats from Complete Champion. Do you have any objections to either?

Incidentally, I updated my character image in the rogue's gallery to add in the dragon scale shield. Click on it to see a larger version.

Ambrus, in IC Menhir's answer is totaly useless to describe his abilities...I'll wait for others to respond before continuing this line, maybe others can get something out of you

I like the way you describe his alien thinking, especialy the one being separate entity from earth. He'll learn


Is anyone interested in gestalt 5th level game. Taking over telepath/archivist necropolitan or warfoged paladin/artificer?

Hm. I think Menhir's answer is rather revealing actually. Maybe it's Berrek's question that was ill conceived.

As an earth elemental Menhir doesn't think of itself as possessing a particular skill set; the earth is what it is. Menhir answered with what it thought would be of most interest to Berrek, he being organic and all. It didn't think anyone would care to hear about the earth's geological activities. Menhir was trying to be circumspect.

 

[Rathan]

Ambrus: Either feat is fine by me....

What Menhir's saying (or not saying) works for me.
