Q103a: Are necropolitans immune to the petrification ability of cockatrices?  I'm pretty sure they are, but good to check.

Q103b: If the same cockatrices are attacking a PC who has DR 8, can that PC be subjected to petrification?

[Vasja]

Q104: Does a Deep Crystal weapon count as adding precision damage for the purposes of the Manyshot feat? In other words : Can you get a bonus 2d6 damage on all your Manyshot attacks if you channel a Deep Crystal weapon?

103a: No

"Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, stunning, disease, and death effects."  They'd use Charisma instead of Con on their fortitude save (DC12...)

103b: Of course, why wouldn't they be affected?

Yes, because undead are immune to anything that requires a fort check unless it also affects objects.

shit the bed, I thought cockatrices affected objects as well but no "Creatures hit by a".  So all the gear of a petrified creature is still up for grabs?

Deep crystal damage isn't precision damage, so that part is a non-issue. The confusing part here though is if every arrows you shot from one Manyshot gets the extra damage from charging your bow. Since Manyshot is one attack, it can be argued that yes it would give the extra damage to every arrows, since they all hit at the same time.

There are also some spells in... Champions of Valor? that give you actual armor (a mithril breastplate, golden full plate) that might have reduced ASF or something like that.

SHould be.

Also, Undead only sub their Cha score for Concentration, not for any other purpose.

Very few spells or abilities actually affect a characters gear.

Q 105 Is there a way to add a half-giant's Powerful Build to another race, such as a human? Even as a feat?

the closest thing I know of is jotunbrud

Dang, that is so close. I was really hoping more so for the damage bonus.

That just lets you hold onto a bigger weapon. I'm talking about wielding a weapon as if you're one size larger for the bonus damage.

Something a little more permanent than 4 uses at 8 hours or unlimited for 1 minute a piece, at a particular site.

As far as feats goes, I'm not sure there's something else which is totally Powerful Build.

Monk 1/X 19, +1 sizing necklace of natural weapons (unarmed strike) (w/ a sizing weapon)?

Apparently there's supposed to be a feat, probably in a splat book, that gives you powerful build like a half-giant, but all I'm finding are feats that give you the bonus of being large, but no extra damage, as a minotaur or goliath.
