Q 263 The Eldritch Giant from MMIII has a BAB of 18 from 25 HD, but the Eldritch Giant cleric 11 has BAB of 26. How is that possible? I thought that once you hit 20HD, you no longer gained your standard BAB progression, but that of the Epic (poor) progression.

Is there anything worth spending a feat slot on that Dodge otherwise acts as a prerequisite for, or do I just stow it away on my character sheet and pretend it's not there?1) Make it incarnum dodge2) Spend the essentia on something useful.

I thought that once you hit 20HD, you no longer gained your standard BAB progression, but that of the Epic (poor) progression.It will be something to do with the BAB cap pre epic is based on class level not HD. Great Wyrm gold dragons have a BAB of +45 or so if I remember correctly. Supposedly you could be a Eldritch Giant Fighter 20 and have a BAB of 38. You dont gain any more iterative attacks though.I will see if i can find a rules quote, Its in there somewhere.

Then it's +5 for gaining 9 Epic levels. That's +6 for BAB +24, not 26.If you have 18 as a BAB, you're already getting 4 attacks a round. Not gaining any more isn't surprising.
18 from HD and 8 from class levels is 26. You don't start on epic BAB progressions until you have 20 class levels.
...Q 262 Is there an ooze that looks like water? Or that can mimic a body of water? I thought there was, but now I can't find it....

So having 20 racial HD doesn't cause you to go Epic BAB progression? So that great wyrm with BAB +45, if it went Fighter 10, would gain +10 BAB, and not +5?

Or does that also have mobility as a prereq....?

Racial hit dice are simply ignored when determining if you switch over to the epic progression.
Quote from: The_Laughing_Man on February 20, 2011, 04:50:05 PMA262: Aballin, large ooze, Monsters of Faerun, p.11-12Can oozes have class levels? It seems to max out at 9 HD. Need it to be a bit higher a CR.

Quote from: Anarchy_Kanya on February 20, 2011, 08:11:08 AMQ: Is there a piece of equipment that will let me add precision damage to creatures immune to critical hits and objects?If you're a Rogue, there are two ACFs that let you deal half sneak attack damage to immune critters... this is the best way. Wands work on specific types if your DM uses the Rules Compendium (and rules in your favor) though you'd have to know in advance what you're fighting and have sufficient UMD. Truedeath Crystals from MiC work for undead, but only if you have +3 weapons. There's another crystal from the same book that works on constructs.JaronK
