Q212 I'm trying to make an "army in a bag" using a bunch of undead (no need for air, food, etc). So far, the best I can come up with is to use an Enveloping Pit (MiC). That's pretty big, but the entrance is too small for Colossal creatures to get through. Is there any spell or item with more extradimensional space and a bigger opening?

Q 209: Thinking of re-statting a Redcap's feats to make it proficient with the Longaxe from Comp Adv. Neat idea, or silly?

Strange?

Seriously, why a longaxe?

Bump.

Q199: I've read this and it's pretty sweet, but I'm looking for some other manners of boosting up a character's ML. More precisely, the crystal master has easy requirements (Knowledge (gemology) 4 ranks, Craft (gemcutting) 4 ranks, Psicrystal Affinity, Psicrystal Containment, Manifester level 5th) but I want to be able to enter in it before ECL6, preferably at ECL2. Is it possible?

Q213 Does a negative level (from Enervation, from an evil creature holding a Holy sword, etc) reduce effective hit dice? In other words, is a 5th-level fighter with four negative levels vulnerable to the Sleep spell?

-1 to effective level (for determining the power, duration, DC, and other details of spells or special abilities). In addition, a spellcaster loses one spell or spell slot from the highest spell level castable.

Bold part seems to say yes.

Because while trying to find a mini to use for a redcap, I found this Dreamblade mini (wish I could find one for sale at a reasonable price...) and it gave me an idea.

I just think that a small creature carrying a big axe, then whacking the PC's with 10-foot reach, will be funny and catch them by surprise.

Ooooo.... I like that.

I actually already typed them up into The Game Mechanics initiative cards, and it can't be taken until the redcap is 12 HD or more (and right now my PC's will be facing 8- and 10-HD redcaps), but I'll definitely keep that feat in mind. Sooo evil.

"Hi, I'm going to attack you from 15 feet away...."

Q 214 Reading Dragon 355, and looking at the maedar, if it was killed, how would you go about stating up the glyptar he becomes?

Q211:

If I obtain natural weapons (claws) due to a class ability, does any increased unarmed damage, like from a Monk's class, increase the damage of my claws?
No, but you can take Improved Natural Attack (from the monster manual)

I seem to recall a feat that allowed to add the two together for Unarmed Strike damage.

Q 215 a noob question but I need to make sure: Eagle's Splendour specifically states that a sorcerer does not get extra spells from the charisma bonus of this spell. Does that mean that all other casting stat bonuses do add extra spells?

No. Each spell specifically says it doesn't.

No, but with beaststrike (Dragon 255) You can add the damage together.

Changed that for you.

Q 216: Could someone link the racial stats for "lesser" smoke paraelementals / genasi?

Q 217: Are there any cheap/easy ways to ignore concealment provided specifically by smoke?

Q218

For prepared spellcasters (Like Chameleon), is there a specific ruling about what their "Spell you know"? Like Arcane Fusion spells?

Q219

For personal spells (Like Arcane Fusion) that keeps mentioning "You", who is that "You" when it's shared to the Familiar/etcs that has Share Spell abilities?

-K

See my handbook.

Being "lesser" doesn't change your racial stat adjustments, although taking 0 levels of the racial progression does.
