Aleolus said:Quick question, would a Duskblade with Touch of Golden Ice be able to use that ability as part of a melee attack through his sword, using the Duskblade ability to cast any spell he knows with a range of touch through his sword?
IanB said:Depending on your own interpretation of the rules for prerequisites, feats that have dex requirements, and thus class features of prestige classes that require said feats as prerequisites could also be lost.
Not a big fan of that myself, it gets complicated.
mcgeedis said:The book seems a little vague to me, so forgive me if there seems like there is an obvious answer to this.
The save listed in BoED for Touch of Golden Ice is a DC 14. Is that a Fort save, or just a flat DC check?
I'd guess IanB was talking about whether they lose prestige class abilities for 'losing' feats: Whether meeting a prerequisite with a feat counts as using it, plus the so-called CW16 rule (and the famous universe-exploding Dragon Disciple).Mouseferatu said:They're not "lost," exactly. You just can't use them.
But I'm afraid that's not "an interpretation." It's spelled out in so many words in the Feats chapter of the PHB.
