Q 185: Say you have a character with a +1 strength bonus wielding a +1 flaming longsword (a steel longsword) who attacks a creature with DR 10/adamantine.  The most sword damage that the character can do is 10 points of slashing damage, not overcoming the DR.  Is the targeted creature subjected to the fire damage, or not?
It is. If the blade were poisoned with an injury poison, it wouldn't be subject to that, though.

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

But contact poison would work.

Q186

Are animated objects creatures or objects? As far as I can tell, the only aspect of being an object that they possess is Hardness. Otherwise, it seems they're creatures for all intents and purposes, which makes the Haunt Shift trick less amazing. If they ARE objects, could somebody point me to that text?
So you end up stuck in an endless loop, unable to act, forever.

In retrospect, much like Keanu Reeves.

Q174: Can a medium creature use a small (or any size using one size smaller) double weapon like a double weapon, one handed, given any compination of races, classes, feats, and skill tricks?
A player once asked me if there was any way to make a Tarrasque more evil... 3 sessions later he was stoned with D20s as the PC led an exidus out of the path of a Dire Tarrasque of Legendary Wonder.

Possibly, but if your DM is really anal, he'd subject you to the -2 penalty for inappropriately sized weapons.
Gendou Ikari is basically Gregory House in Kaminashades. This is FACT.

I know about the weapon size issue, it's just that there is a line in the basis double weapon discriptor that says no for the general case, and I need a spesific work around...

Why does that make it less amazing? What part of it relies on them being treated as objects?

Damage rules. You get hardness, sure, but you're still fully damaged by energy and weapons and suchlike. Plus, it's much harder to buff yourself, aside from the couple of hardness boosts. (Actually it's easier, forget that part) It's still pretty nice, but it's hardly nigh-immortality since destroying the object either kills you or expels you into combat, naked. I thought the whole point was to be an object, and thus incredibly hard to damage and outright immune to almost every attempt to kill you possible since virtually all effects work on "creatures".
So you end up stuck in an endless loop, unable to act, forever.

In retrospect, much like Keanu Reeves.

I think it works if what you are haunt shifted into is capable of bending without magical alteration. So a suit of armor would be an object when haunt shifted while a statue would be an animated object.

Q 184: Where do you find the feat Eldritch Claw?
Don't forget to number your question.

It's from an issue of Dragon, though I don't know which one.

If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.

That works. Makes sense, I suppose.

Q188: Can a caster take Supernatural Transformation for a spell he has turned into an SLA via Innate Spell.  By exact wording he meets the requirements, but it's probably not RAI (and I know the warlock can't do it...even though I thought the Sage was on crack when he said that...or FAQ/CustServ, which ever, they're all on crack).

Q189Do rogues get SA on itteratives attacks? for example an 11 lvl rogue gets a bab of +8/+3 and +8d6 dmg on SA if he made a full attack on a flat-footed (sp?) enemy does he adds the sneak attack damage to everyattack or just the first one?

All of them, so long as the enemy is still denied his dexterity bonus to AC.
