Would the Soul Demon's Eldrich Blast damage stack with a Warlocks? That's pretty neat if it does.

I don't have Dungeon Mag issues but this topic inspired me to go find them. What is the range for 3e?

Executioner's mace (Dungeon 135 – 61) is a two-handed martial weapon that deals 2d6 damage, deals bludgeoning and piercing damage or bludgeoning and slashing damage, and has a *3 critical. 

What is the range for 3e?

If I'm not mistaken:

As Sneak Attack. Used in my Max (Hellfire) Eldritch Blast build (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=3084.7).

Executioner's mace (Dungeon 135 – 61) is a two-handed martial weapon that deals 2d6 damage, deals bludgeoning and piercing damage or bludgeoning and slashing damage, and has a *3 critical. 
  • 3.0: 82-99
  • 3.5: 100-150
Hmm I' have to grab those first eight. I have a few of the online 150+ ones and they have some 3.5 in them and some 4.0. Does anyone know when they stop all 3.5?

And added. Any thoughts on the 1d10 -> 2d6 damage bump? That one isn't supposed to exist... (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Improved_Natural_Attack)

Dungeon 120.  Page 35.  Exotic Weapon - Braid Blade.  Light Exotic Weapon.  10gp, Dmg (s)1d2, (m)1d3.  Crit 18-20x2.  1/2 lb.  Slashing.  When you make a full attack get an extra attack with the blade at -5.  If you have 5 or more ranks in Tumble the penalty is -2.

DU109 has Death Frost Spell [Metamagic]. It adds 2d6 cold damage to ANY spell and gives it the cold descriptor. +1 adjustment
Same issue has Flesh of the Ice Tomb which requires Tomb Tainted Soul, it turns all cold damage nonleathal.

HOLY SHIT this is a cool feat. And don't forget that Psionics are inherenty Psi-Like Abilities and therefore qualify.

Bears can I get a page number on the first two (I didn't see them) and an issue also for that cool feat?

Issue109 p? Death Frost Spell [Metamagic]: [cold], +2d6 cold to any spell, +1 adjustment

So... if I use this with a non damaging area detection spell, does everything near me take this damage for ages or what?

Death Frost Spell
... Your mastery of necromantic magic ... allow you to enhance necromancy spells so that they inflict cold damage in addition to their normal effects.
Prerequisites: Spell focus (necromancy) ...
A Death Frost spell inflicts an extra 2d6 points of cold damage against any creature affected by the spell.
...

Dream Haunting is Dun 121 page 57.

Hmm, the restriction to necromancy only and the Spell Focus requirement both hurt, but I wonder if you could make Consumptive Field trigger this... it might work, or it might only trigger when they're at -1 hp.

Bumping from the thirteenth page. Woohoo! Dungeon Mag 100 4th page of its web supplement has an 8th level dire reincarnate spell. It's the same except "the list of possible new forms consists only of dire animals (see below)." it has no whole body restriction and can be cast up to a month/cl after death.

Includes such juicy forms as dire bear +20str, +2dex, +4con, dire bat +6str, +12dex, +6con, and dire wolverine +12str,+6dex,+8con!

Costs 5k but explicitly allowed to be used for humanoids purposefully as a ritual to get closer to nature. The real question is does this finally give PCs the animal type? Or are you a humanoid-typed dire bear? A must have for all bear-bear-beary-bear-bear builds
