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

[superpriest]

Are you sure bards don't get cure minor wounds ?

Statistics on the Sai

(227) Can you please provide the statistics on the Sai (including any special properties - i.e. bonuses to disarm, etc.).

Please include any differences for a small/ tiny Sai.

Ok, my bad. For sake of time I was making an assumption based on the text in Power Attack. 2-handed Weapons still only add x1.5 Strength Bonus to Damage but with Power Attack if you're wielding a 2 Handed Weapon you add twice the amount you subtract from your attack roll.

Okay, just so I (and others) have got this straight...

The text you just gave us implies that only the bonus damage from Power Attack is doubled when you have a 2-Handed weapon, not all the damage. So tell me if these examples are mechanically correct...

Using a fighter with a normal longsword and Str 18 (+4 mod) as an example. Assume that the fighter in question has enough BAB to get the full +5 bonus from Power Attack.

Fighter attacking with longsword 1-handed, no PA: 1d8+4

Fighter with longsword 2-handed, no PA: 1d8+6 (4x1.5)

Fighter with longsword 1-handed, with PA: 1d8+9 (4+5)

Fighter with longsword 2-handed, with PA: 1d8+16 (4x1.5 + 5x2)

Does this look right?

228) Has the summon swarm spell (2nd level druid spell) been changed at all? Perhaps it now uses the new swarm subtype from the mm?


**BTW, at 250 questions I would suggest the mods go ahead and stop any more questions from being asked on this thread. I or someone else can make a new thread from 251 on. I figured someone industrious could compile the changes listed in this thread and we can move to a different one. Its getting to the point where people whove just started reading can't keep up.

229) You said earlier that the run feat gives you x5 when running. Is that x5 for anyone, or just one more increase to the run multiplier?

Bard

230:

Could you give us more precision on the following bard spells?

Disguise Self (lvl. 1)
Glibness (lvl. 3)
Shout, Greater (lvl. 4)
Sympathetic Vibration (lvl. 4)

What do they do? What classes have access to them?

Thank you for alll the answers so far.

 

[Kali]

How many skill points for each class?

Rogue's Sneak:
231. A friend was just reading through Unappoachable East and he noticed a few oddities in the stat block and language decribing a Thayan Slaver with Rogue levels (p39 for those with the book). The description of the ability there is:

Sneak Attack [EX]: If Reg Neroz catches his opponent flatfooted, he deals +6d6 sneak damage.

Heck -- I hate typing -- there's a scan of the stat block.

So - -could you check to see if the situations allowing a sneak have changed?

The press release for the WOTC chat tonight includes the following tidbit:

"Paladins, meanwhile, gain perpetual access to their mounts – even in the middle of a dungeon. "

I hope this isn't referring to the +10 speed only. Are any other details given?
