Q97:

Does anyone have any advice regarding builds for a level six half-giant warblade with a level 5 intelligent horse cohort? (DM is ruling that the horse is LA+1 and otherwise replaces all racial HD with class levels and stats are determined using 32 point buy)

Q 98: Was there ever errata for d20 Modern's "d20 Past?"  I can't seem to find any.

It's amazingly obvious that the authors knew nothing about firearms.  They give the Mosin Nagant 2d8 damage, and say it fires the 7.62mmR cartridge (which is d20 Modern's designation for the 7.62x39 round, which AK-47's fire).  The thing is, Mosin's fire a 7.62x54R cartridge, which is a larger round than a .308 (7.62x51mm).  All the .308 rifles in d20 modern deal 2d10 damage...



.303, 7.62x54R, .308, 7.62x39


.308 Win, 30-06, 7.62x54R, 8mm Mauser

Q94)  Isn't there an item(s) out there that replicates webshooters (the machines spiderman has that generate webbing), if so where are these items located?
On a tangentially related note, unless something has changed drastically, Spider-man doesn't require webshooters anymore.
Nothing has changed since the first movie.  Genetically-modified spiders >>> Radioactive spiders.
Meeh, I prefer the comics. No need for shooters in comics either, that changed years ago.
I was talking about the literal, qualitative value of genetically-modified spiders and radioactive spiders, not making a comment about which medium I prefer.  Genetically modified spiders give you web shooters, and radioactive spiders don't.  Otherwise, they're identical, therefore GMoD spiders win.

Also, it's not a proper mockery of something until Cracked writes an article about it. 

Two things:
Spider-Man had the Captain Universe power for a while, and "should" still benefit from the aftereffects.
Spider-Man got a hold of the Infinity Gauntlet in a different Universe. That should bleed through Universe boundaries just a little.

Hey the Movie Spider-Man is from the Hollywood "Universe". That's his biggest problem these days ...  Bang Head

There's a lightning maces feat?

Q 99 In a [Pathfinder] armory book, you can have your character smoke cigarettes. They have a save against becoming addicted. However, my question comes from the secondary part of it. If you smoke too many cigs, you eventually take permanent Con damage over time. Basically it ages you because cigarettes "take years off of your life." How would you actually work that? I ask because of the characters is a chain smoking half-elf ranger.

Yep.  Drugs are in BoVD (also Sharn: City of Towers, I think), and Arms and Equipment Guide has rules for Alcohol.

Pathetic: -2 Wis (or Int).  Anyone who's gotten over the love part of the love/hate relationship with their addictive substance of choice could tell you that.

Q93:  Are there any potential interactions between the Poison Spell feat (Drow of the Underdark) and the Scourge of Force spell (Champions of Ruin)?
Bumping.
Let me elaborate a little on this.  Scourge of force is a short-range spell that requires a melee touch attack.  It also can potentially hit multiple targets in the same way Scorching Ray can (in fact, it's very much a force version of Scorching Ray).  So I'm wondering if Poison Spell can be used with it since it requires a melee touch, or if it requires the entry of "Range: Touch."

Q103:
Quote from: Manyshot Feat
Regardless of the number of arrows you fire, you apply precision-based damage only once. If you score a critical hit, only the first arrow fired deals critical damage; all others deal regular damage.

what exactly is considered precision-based damage? and would that include your strength bonus for a mighty bow?

A 103: Sneak attack, sudden strike, skirmish.

Basically, extra dice that only apply under specific conditions.

Your Str bonus would apply to each arrow.

Q104: Does anyone have a link to the fixed prerequisites for Invisible Blade as suggested by the PrC's creator?

I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Quotes:

Point Blank shot, Weapon Finesse, Weapon Focus (dagger, kukri, or punching dagger)
here's that PrC's creator's own website.

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.

I'm pretty sure the term has never been defined in the rules.  I typically figure that damage that doesn't apply to creatures immune to critical hits is precision damage.  For example, a swashbuckler's insightful strike.
