Ask a simple question: Monty Python edition

A 123: I would say "Unarmed Strike progression" means the damage only.

And I would go the swordsage route, but there's no ToB allowed in my current campaign.

I know that's how people seem to generally interpret it, but back in 3.0 Unarmed Strike Progression actually referred specifically to the weird monk BAB progression that was directly replaced with Flurry of Blows in 3.5. I have to wonder if the author meant to say that the Unarmed Swordsage gets Flurry, but maybe doesn't actually get increased unarmed damage (unless they take the Superior Unarmed Strike feat).

I have to ask because I'm about to start a character with a couple of swordsage levels, and as he's getting light armor proficiency from another class there is really no reason at all not to use this variant. I'd never even looked at it before.

A 128: Is there any way to worship two dieties at one time? 

[snakeman830]

Unarmed Strike and Flurry of Blows are two seperate abilities.  You only get the Unarmed Strike ability of the Monk.

Depends on the campaign setting

Worshipping a whole pantheon grants you access to all of the pantheon's domains. I'm unsure if there's a general rule that you can do this, but in specific, tightly-knit pantheons such as Eberron's Sovereign Host and the Greek, Asgardian, and Egyptian pantheons in Deities and Demigods, it's explicitly allowed.

Q 129: I would like to add charges/day to the Brute Gauntlets from MIC. Where are there pricing rules for adding charges/day?

Q 129: I would like to add charges/day to the Brute Gauntlets from MIC. Where are there pricing rules for adding charges/day?  

A129: Well, they're more like guidelines...

5 divided by # of charges. 5 uses per day supposedly equals the price for "at will". So according to that, the cost of something that has 3 charges per day would be multiplied by 5/3 to get the price for "at will". I'd say that's too cheap for that item, though, since a continuous +2 enhancement to strength is 4000 gp. The "guidelines" also say compare a new item to existing items that do something similar to get a price that's more "accurate" than the one given by the table.

Q 129: I would like to add charges/day to the Brute Gauntlets from MIC. Where are there pricing rules for adding charges/day? 

The price of an item with charges/day is unlimited price divided by (5/charges per day). So for an item usable three times per day, you first figure out the unlimited price by multiplying the normal price with 5/3 (833.3 in the case of Brute Gauntlets) and then figure out the price for more daily charges from scrap. Of course, at that point you might as wel just make them unlimited.
These guidelines can be found, along with all other pricing guidelines, here. Of course, these are probably not as applicable to MIC-style charged items that let you use more charges per use for greater effect.

Yeah! Ninja robots are taking over the world!

you could have just asked google...

Yeah, but Pathfinder D&D, Pathfinder online, and pathfinder ogl didn't bring anything. A little after I though of SRD and posted here first 

Pathfinder doesn't use wotc's OGL for their stuff, they use something called the CDL instead.

pathfinder SRD works either way however.

I meant for why "pathfinder ogl" didn't return any useful results on google.

Google "Pathfinder PRD" works as well.

Q 128: What would be an appropriate CR for a Half-Ogre Warrior 2?  I'm thinking CR 2.

I do believe that you are correct. A half-ogre is read as CR +1 so if you have two warrior classes, that only increases it by another 1.

Eberron Campaign Setting p.35 - there's a paragraph on following a pantheon instead of a specific diety.

[Ithamar]

Complete Divine also has info regarding pantheonic worship as well, if you need something non-setting specific.

Q 129: Say I have a weapon with Spell Storing on it.  I can obviously cast any spell up to level 3 into the weapon to "use" later.  If I used a metamagic feat to enhance it above level 3, it wouldn't go in.  I understand that.  But, what if I used a Metamagic Rod or a Spell Shard (MiC)?  That doesn't raise the "level of spell used".  Could I put a Maximized / Empowered spell of 3rd level in it then?

I'd say no because the sword can't store the energy from a the item. By the same logic you can't use a rod of meta magic to create meta magiced scrolls at the cost of producing regular scrolls and a radient servent of Pelor can't monopolize the healing item market with enlarged maximized wands of clw that heal 9+(1d8/2) hp per charge but cost him the standard gold and xp for a first level wand to create.

I don't think it's RAW but I'd consider allowing a caster with metamagic reducers like arcane thesis to cast a spell with free metamagic on it into a spell storing weapon.

You might be able to use the Rod at the time the spell is discharged from the weapon, though. Ask your DM.

Q 130: Would you say there is any issue with learning a spell with a different elemental type?  The spell in question is Combust (Spell Comp).  Would a DM (you) allow me to learn it, instead of as fire, as say, electricity or acid or cold?

A 130 I totally would. That's not broken at all.

Especially since I, as the DM, choose the resistances and immunities of monsters.

Energy damage type is really just flavor text (Except in the case of the Searing Heat (Sandstorm) and Piercing Cold (Frostburn) feats, which have no electricity, acid, or sonic equivalents. Though I'd just homebrew them up anyway if a player wanted 'em. ). Players should have all the flavor they want.

Or you might be able to make the rod into the weapon...
