Q136:

AfterCrescent · « **Reply #381 on:** July 11, 2008, 05:31:35 AM »

A136. No. Precision damage is damage, not a special effect. If the DR had negated all the damage (weapon+skirmish) then any special effect from weapon/feat/etc would have been negated. Do note, however, that skirmish is precision damage and a creature may be immune to that.

Q137 Do artys suffer from ASF, I would assume so based on the line that says "They function just like spells and follow the same rules as spells". But I'm not 100% so I figured I would ask.

CannibalSmith · « **Reply #383 on:** July 11, 2008, 02:28:04 PM »

A137: No. It's arcane spell failure, but infusions are neither arcane nor divine.

Apologize in advance if it's already been answered.

Q138: Warforged are immune to energy drain, but they are subject to "Death effects or necromancy effects." Can a warforged be affected by and gain a negative level from a Fell Drain (Libris Mortis pg. 27) metamagic'd spell? Technically, Fell Drain does not say it is specificallly ANY kind of effect.

CannibalSmith · « **Reply #385 on:** July 13, 2008, 01:01:32 PM »

A138: No. Even if Fell Drain was specifically a death or necromancy effect. Because energy drain is a subset of "death or necromancy". Specific rules (exceptions) beat general rules.

Q139: Does Summon Elemental increase its own duration?

Q140: Do reserve feats have components?

Q141: Does a druid have to prepare a Summon Nature's Ally to use Summon Elemental? If yes, is it still worth it?

Q142:

Tshern · « **Reply #387 on:** July 13, 2008, 04:54:29 PM »

A140: No as they are not spells.

AfterCrescent · « **Reply #388 on:** July 13, 2008, 05:57:19 PM »

A142: Yes

Callix · « **Reply #389 on:** July 13, 2008, 09:15:16 PM »

A141: No, but you do need to prepare a Conjuration (Summoning) spell. Insect Plague, a 5th level spell, Creeping Doom at 7th level, or Shambler and Elemental Swarm at 9th can all fulfill the requirements.

Q143: What methods are there, if any, of enabling a wizard to take 10/15/some other value on concentration checks?

CannibalSmith · « **Reply #391 on:** July 14, 2008, 07:39:20 AM »

A143: A psionic race or Psionic Talent feat will allow you to spend psionic focus for Take 15 on Concentration checks.

Nox_Noctis · « **Reply #392 on:** July 14, 2008, 08:26:36 AM »

A143: The Steady Concentration feat in Races of Stone.

DrowVampyre · « **Reply #393 on:** July 14, 2008, 09:10:17 AM »

Ah, there we go. Thanks - I knew I'd seen one somewhere, but was thinking it was one of the completes.

A144As for most things; it depends on what you want the character to be able to do

Q146: I found a link on these boards once to a webpage full of character flaws, and now I can't find it. My google-fu is just not strong enough. (And poring over a search for "flaws" on this board takes a lonnnngg time).

Anyone know the link offhand? Specifically, I'm looking for the verbage on the Skulker flaw.

AfterCrescent · « **Reply #399 on:** July 22, 2008, 01:48:08 PM »

A146: Realmshelp FTW!
