Bump for those who missed this because of their holiday plans.

My holiday internet connection isn't one that likes downloading big pdfs. Can you give a heads up on what got added?

Questions on:
- Duration of Wild Shape for Master of Many Forms (base it off the class that first granted the ability).
- Augment Healing + vigor spells (additional healing only in first round).
- Applying Clinging Breath more than once (the dragon decides at the time of breathing, and each clinging round adds +1 to the time before breathing again).
- Duration of invisibility from a Ring of Invisibility (base off the caster level, i.e., 3rd; but you can spend the actions to reactivate the effect more often than that, and get a practically-continuous effect)
- Handling spells attached to a hallow/unhallow effect, like Dispel Magic of Protection from Energy (apply the effect when the creature enters the area).
- Can Unhallow be dispelled/negated? (No, but a DM can opt to allow a hallow spell to cancel an unhallow spell, and vice versa).
- Augment Summoning + familiar? (No relation, move on.)
- What does "once per day" mean? (Choose a time of day, usually daybreak, when all "per day" abilities reset)
- How to handle vulnerability and resistance to the same effect (example is a frost giant wearing a ring of elemental resistance)
- Temporary applications of the same effect stack? (No, you get a fresh ammount. Undead that grant a negative level and gain 5 temp hit points can't get more than that; more energy draining simply resets the extra 5 hp).

should this be in the Rules Forum?

What is the best way to contact WOTC to get them to correct a mistake in the FAQ? I noticed the old FAQ answer on weapon sizes provides an example using a frost giant which describes the frost giant as huge, when the frost giant is large, not huge.

Customer Service could probably pass on the correction to the R&D team that deal with the FAQ. They have done so in the past.

Not when Wotc activly is faqing up the game. These are not rules as much as Judicial Legislation.

Temporary applications of the same effect stack? (No, you get a fresh ammount. Undead that grant a negative level and gain 5 temp hit points can't get more than that; more energy draining simply resets the extra 5 hp).

So wotc goes this route, rather than just adding "False life does not stack with itself" to the damn spell?

Now why do i recall undead already having a cap of = HP to thier "Temp HP from drain"

Just a few points of contention then?

A few new points of contention. There are still plenty of old ones still there.
