A5 Lolth-touched? or do you want it to remain LG? Mineral Warrior?

A5 Lolth-touched? or do you want it to remain LG? Mineral Warrior?

I had considered Lolth-Touched, but wasn't sure if the alignment shift made sense.  Mineral Warrior's mental stat penalties made that rather unattractive.

A6: Just to add: If you craft it and you're higher level you can create a better version for it anyway.

Q7: Is there a way (items possibly) to give specific weapon enhancements (something like Shattermantle, or Souldrinking, or Keen, etc) to unarmed attacks? what about natural weapons? 

[Ithamar]

A7: Necklace of Natural Attacks from Savage Species lets you do precisely that.

Kensai can do this, from Complete Warrior.  Note if you want Keen you'd need Versatile Unarmed Strike so your attacks can be slashing.

There is an enchantment for bludgeoning weapons as well, isn't there?

Q8
What Base Classes/Prestige Classes/Spells/Items allow you to channel a spell through your weapon? Being able to do so at range and as part of a full attack is a plus.

It was more of an addition rather than a question. I apologise for the confusing wording.

Q10

How the fuck does the game define off hand, if ever?

Q11

More importantly, how are your number and type of attacks determined? Is it based on the weapon(s) you wield, or purely your BAB? Basically, what I'm asking is, if your BAB is +16 and you have a longsword, a dagger, armor spikes, and Improved Unarmed Strike, can you attack with a Longsword at +16, Dagger at +11, Armor Spikes at +6, and Unarmed Strike at +1?

Q12
If so, and you have a set number of attacks per round based on BAB and you can fill them however you like with your available weapons, what's to stop you from taking the whole TWF chain for some reason and holding a random dagger in one hand (to satisfy the "if you hold a second weapon in your off hand" line in the feat) and then using a longsword for all your attacks, changing your choice of "off hand" as necessary to make it legal?

A10 offhand attacks in effect are you secondary attacks, similar to natural weapons.

A11 it depends on which TWF feats you have. W/o them you take 3 attacks with the primary and one attack with the rest each. But remember there are penalties w/o the TWF feats.

Getting the Improved? TWF gives 3 longsword and 2 each of the offhand weapons (unarmed, armor spikes, dagger).

A12 not that I remember, see above for attack routines.

No, no. I mean, how does it define which attack is an offhand attack? I know how what to do once that's determined, but do you just arbitrarily assign it or what? When can you change the choice, if ever?

TWF is irrelevant to 11; not two-weapon fighting here, just if you're carrying those weapons, can you intersperse your attack routine with different types of attack? A Monk certainly can with special monk weapons and a flurry, but is this a general rule?

Q13

Should I just start a new thread?

New thread sounds good,  I have questions too.

[AleksanderTheGreat]

Then why don't you post them here, Talore?

As far as i know you could go Sword/Dagger/Spikes without penalty but going sword/dagger/spikes/dagger would start accruing TWF penalties. (provided you have the BAB to make 3 attacks of course.)

Q14: What ways are there for melee characters to deliver their attacks as melee touch attacks? UMD'ing a wand of Wraithstrike is one, Impaling weapon (piercing only) is another; any others?

Emerald Razor, a Diamond Mind maneuver from ToB.

There's also Deep Impact, from XPH

[Ithamar]

Heartseeking Amulet from MIC lets you do a touch attack 3 times / day.  Pretty cheap too, as I recall.
