Ask a Simple Question: The Revenge of the Grue

[kevin_video]

Is it just me or is legacy champion just better than most PRCs? it looks completely insane though i suppose you do lose 2 levels of class features.

Where's that from?

[Littha]

weapons of legacy

[The_Mad_Linguist]

It's mainly useful for progressing the unprogressable - losing two levels of spellcasting hurts.

QXX Whats the diff between retrainning and rebuilding.

A 116They're used for different things. Retraining is used for feats, skills, and languages, which has lesser impact on your character. Rebuilding is for fundamental aspects like ability scores, class levels, and race. Class level rebuilding, specifically, doesn't have the clase that you must have been able to qualify for the level you're taking with the levels you've had up until the ECL you're replacing it at, so you're free to take a Cleric 5/Ur-Priest 1 and turn it into a Cleric 3/Ur-Priest 3 immediately, even though there's no way to achieve this sort of build without rebuilding.

[TheEndIsNear]

So a Cleric 10 can go umm I take a month to rebuild a go BAM Ur-Priest 10?

Cool!

Q 108 It's probably an exotic weapon, but where can I find a boot knife? As in a knife that's part of your boot that's always out for you to attack with.

A108
well, I found 3 things for this:
- foot spike (RotW) -- primarily designed for aerial combatants
- spring dart boot (drag.mag. 316) -- spring-loaded dart that shoots out from your boot heel
- hidded blade - boot blade (CS) -- concealed blade that can be "flipped" in to position - counts as a dagger.  attacking with a hidden blade imposes a -2 to attack rolls.

if I understand your question correctly, then I think that #3 is what you're looking for.

I believe it's also in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting.

Q 117: Does Geometer reduce the material component cost of any spell to a max of 225gp?

The spell-glyph replaces any material components (other than a focus) normally requiredby the spell.
and it only costs 25gp/spell level and an hour of your time

If so what does this mean for spells with expensive or hard to get materials? Apocalypse from the Sky?

EDIT: wow epic failed at reading properly... more expensive ink needed.

Q:118
Does being immune to mind effecting keep the rageclaws soulmeld from working?

[PlzBreakMyCampaign]

It asks for Trackless Step as a class feature. Bamboo Spirit Folk doesn't work.

That could be just semantics. How else would you identify what trackless step is? Well... you relate it to the well-known ability found in core. Otherwise there would be the word 'ability' everywhere when it says things like (Druid's) Animal Companion -> Animal Companion Ability... which might refer to a druid's animal companion that has atleast 1 ability

Q 119 I'm really tired of getting my butt kicked by this spell, especially when they have it "at will". How do I overcome Blasphemy? And I mean besides having a higher HD caster level than them because that'll never happen, or psionic feats which allow you to expend so you're immune to ability that stun or daze you.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Yeah, the evil characters in our group are immune to it. I should have stipulated that. Kind of a good character with a deity and true believer.

Q120:  Do daggers which are thrown count as melee weapons for the "attack a flat-footed opponent immediately after drawing a melee weapon" stipulation of Iaijutsu Focus?  If not, the second level ability of the Bloodstorm Blade should allow them to qualify as melee weapons for Iaijutsu Focus, no?

A120: Technically yes (technically speaking, you don't even need to attack with the same weapon that you draw), but your DM will probably smack you.

A120b: Should work

Q 121 If monks wear bracers of armor, do they lose their WIS to AC?

Also, still looking for more ways to not get whipped by Blasphemy.

It's pretty difficult to block.  PreventingLoE is probably your best bet.

LoE?

[Surreal]

LoE = line of effect

[kevin_video]

LoE = line of effect

Ah. Yeah, not going to happen, most likely. Hate area effect.

A 121: Considering the large number of monks in Wizards material that have Bracers of Armor as part of their equipment list I would guess no.  I mean, they are bracers, not armor.


Q 122:Does the Transmuting property from Magic Item Compendium at a measly +2 enhancement really allow a weapon to overcome DR/epic?  Also the entry mentions that "for the next 10 rounds..." you have its benefit.  What happens after 10 rounds?
