Beer? Heck, I'll buy you a whole pizza at Origins or GenCon!

158) Has Intimidate been added to the Bard's Skill list?

159) Some of the upper bard songs now have level requirements as well as ranks in Perform. Are those explicitly Bard levels, or might it be possible to count, say, Virtuoso levels, since Virtuoso levels count toward Bardic Music?

I have a friend who swears up and down that Attacks of Opportunity have been FAQ'ed, and that the RPGA does it wrong. Saying that "it's like 3.0" does not help, because I'm not certain what the standard 3.0 interpretation is. So my question is this:
160) If I make a normal move up to an opponent, and then take a swing, does he get an AO on me? Assume that both my opponent and I are medium size, and neither has any sort of extra reach. (Currently RPGA says he does not get an AO, but my friend swears that it has been interpreted in the FAQ's to be that he does get an AO.)

Thanks again! I'm amazed that you've been able to keep up.

161) Can you please elaborate a little more on the Druid Animal Companion thing? I'd hate to ask you to type it all out, but... If ya have the time

One of the things I am interested in knowing is, do they still have a Hit Dice requirement OR is it simply picking an animal off the list? It used to be that you could pick animals worth to twice your level in hit die. So a level 1 Driud could have a 2HD animal, or 2 1HD animals or several 1/2 HD animals. Is it still this way, or no?

Do you apply the Animal Companion (AnC) pluses to any animal you get? If I am a level 10 Druid, and have a basic Wolf as my AnC, what pluses (if any) does he get from the chart? If that basic Wolf dies and I get a new Wolf the next day, does he start from the bottom of the chart or does he get the pluses right away? If I pick a special animal (like a Dire Lion) off the "special" list, does it get any pluses from the other list?

162) Anything new with the alignment section? Did they expand upon the descriptions of the alignments or anything?

163) How does Intimidate skill work? Is it a static DC or is it some sort of opposed roll?

He does not get an AoO.

The only times he will get an AoO is:

a) Moving THROUGH (not simply into, but THROUGH) a threatened square.
b) Moving OUT OF a threatened square AND attacking.
c) Attacking and then moving OUT OF a threatened square (basically the opposite of (b) =)

There are a few more, but this is the crux of what you want to remember for movement-provoking AoOs.

If ALL you do is MOVE out of a threatened square (not attack or take any other action but MOVE) then you do not provoke an AoO. Remember, if you move THROUGH a threatened square, you will still provoke (even if all you did was move). A 5' step NEVER provokes an AoO, and you can not take a 5' if you have already moved this round.

2 more quick monk questions if you don't mind.

1. I notice that leap of the clouds wasn't on your list, Is it gone?

2. Has the list of monk weapons changed any? Staff or sai, for instance.

Thanks in advance.

 

[AdvntrGuy]

164.) Are there druid spell's called: Greater Call Lightening, Nature's Avatar, True Reincarnate or Thunderswarm?

165.) Are the effects of the Reincarnate spell still random?

166.) What is the bonus and duration of Greater Magic Fang?

 

[chalcedony]

Not as important, but

167. What is the explanation in the PHB for giving half-elves +2 to Gather Information and Diplomacy checks?

Thanks for answering my earlier questions.

 

[Palladion]

168. Has there been any alterations to sneak attack? If there has, could you please post the text?

 

[Kai Lord]

169. Any changes to the description of a Composite Longbow?

Heh heh.

 

[Magus Coeruleus]

170. Is there any clerical spell that looks tailored to removing/dispeling fatigue or exhaustion? I mean other than Heal now taking care of that. I don't expect you to hunt through all the spells, but I suspect that if it exists, you'd see it as Remove/Dispel Fatigue or something with the word "fatigue" on the cleric's spell list.
