Thanks for the answer even though it was exactly what I didn't want to hear. Oh well...

A09If you aim the crystal at a single target, you must make a ranged touch attack to strike the target. Any creature or object struck by the ball of crystal takes 5d4 points of bludgeoning damage. It would appear so. |

Forgive me if this is obvious from the XPH text, right now I've only got d20srd.org available to check.
Q10: When a Large creature manifests augmented expansion to become Gargantuan, does it suffer the -2 size penalty to attacks and AC mentioned in the power, or the -3 mentioned in the monster manual for a Large > Gargantuan resize?

Q10: When a Large creature manifests augmented expansion to become Gargantuan, does it suffer the -2 size penalty to attacks and AC mentioned in the power, or the -3 mentioned in the monster manual for a Large > Gargantuan resize? It is not entirely clear if the designer had been wording the power with the impression that the user would be a medium sized PC or not. The 1st paragraph suggests that this might be the case, yet the 2nd paragraph mentions something along the line of "...if your new size is large or larger...", which at first glance seems to suggest that you still get only a -1 size penalty to AC, even in the case of say, a gargantuan dragon psychic warrior1 manifesting expansion to make itself colossal. Common sense (for me at least) would suggest that you simply use the size penalties to AC as listed in the MM. It simply seems like a case of very sloppy copy-and-pasting the text for the enlarge person spell from the PHB. This would not have been problematic for enlarge spell because it can only be cast on humanoids, and to this day, there are no large humanoids. However, they probably neglected to take into consideration the fact that expansion could in fact be manifested by non-humanoids (who in turn, can be of any size), and thus did not revise the power entry appropriately. At least, that is my take on it.  |

Yeah, I imagine they weren't thinking of a centaur psychic warrior looking to use psionic lion's charge, greater powerful charge etc quite so much...
Thanks for the response.

Q10: That's how I'd handle it too. I guess it's not official, but it makes the most sense to me too. |

My balancing 3.5 compendiumElemental mage test gameQuotesIt is a shame stupidity isn't painful. Totally true. Historians believe that most past civilizations would have endured for centuries longer if they had successfully determined Batman's alignment. Why are so many posts on the board the equivalent of " Dear Dr. Crotch, I keep punching myself in the crotch, and my groin hurts... what should I do? How can I make my groin stop hurting?" I suggest carving "Don't be a dick" into him with a knife. A dull, rusty knife. A dull, rusty, bent, flaming knife. Fluffy: It's over Steve! I've got the high ground!
Steve: You underestimate my power!
Fluffy: Don't try it, Steve!
Steve: *charges*
Fluffy: *three critical strikes*
Steve: **** I don't even stat out commoners. Commoner = corpse that just isn't a zombie. Yet. When I think "Old Testament Boots of Peace" I think of a paladin curb-stomping an orc and screaming "Your death brings peace to this land!" Buy a small country. Or Pelor. Both are good investments.

Q11 In this build, ignoring feats would the last 2 levels be better as an Archmage, or a Nightmare Spinner?
Enchanter3/Master Specialist2/Mindbender1/MasterSpecialist2/Wild Soul10/XX2
Just need a quick idea of what some one thinks?
Thanks

A11. You can never go wrong with 2 levels of archmage.

A11) Can't think of any archmage powers which complement an enchanter though. Spell power? SLAs?
Not familiar with nightmare spinner, so cannot comment on that.

A11:If you can have the enchantment variant of the NS approved, then you should take all five levels  As is, I don't think an extra illusion per level and immunity to fear is worth a caster level loss.

One more stupid question, I'm looking at the Iron Defender stat block in the ECS and I swear its BAB must be wrong, with only a 14 STR+Weapon Focus+1 BAB it should only have a +4 BAB not +5, |
