To RoytheOdd, here's a thread for questions and answers

[ShadowStar]

18. I've heard rumors of changes to wizards' familiars; what, if any are they?

Most of the bonuses that familiars provide went up to +3 with the exception of Save bonses that are still +2 and the Toad that gives a flat +3 HP. Otherwise it looks pretty much the same.

19. Are Druids' available animal companions based solely on HD=level or is there some other mechanism?

There is a table that shows what level at which you can take what familiars.

20. Have the Summon Monster lists changed?

Sorry, I don't know enough about the originals to tell you.

21. Have the multiclassing rules changed WRT saving throws and base attack bonusses?

Looks like they haven't changed.

26) Ed Stark was pretty clear about bards being better able to cast in armor ... perhaps in the spells section, or perhaps their spells don't have somatic components?

22) What does Imp Feint do?

It allows you to Feint as a Move action.

23) doEs thE toMe beaR a coMPuTer chaRacTeR geNeRatioN tooL?

This copy didn't so that's a probable no but it's still possible.

Thanks, ShadowStar, for stepping up in Roy's absence!

24) With Haste now nerfed, has the Quicken metamagic feat changed at all? In other words, how many spell levels does Quickening a spell add?

Edited for spelling!

Quicken Spell adds 4 to the spells level.

27) Have they done any major changes to item creation formulas? For instance, does a +10 item still cost 2,000 gold and a +2 enhancement bonus item still cost 4,000 gold? I would like to hear more about item creation changes as well.

Thanks.

28. Have the metamagic feats changed at all? I mean, before a metamagic feat would require a spell slot of a number of spell slots higher. Does it continue to work that way?

29. In what ways have the language skills been changed? There was something in the recent Dragon about that. Before, there was simply a language skill, and if you put 1 rank into it, you gained that language.

BTW, you rock for doing this!

 

[ShadowStar]

Ok, that's it for today, I'll come back and answer more tomorrow (and will have my 3rd Ed book with me).

Thanks ShadowStar!

Is RoytheOdd okay? Or did you hurt him much when you swiped the PHB?

Can you tell us about the new spell Burning Ray? What classes/levels is it for?
