Uhm, no. Not at all. It needs base saves no higher than or equal to your character level. So if you are level 5, you can have no base save higher than 4. Any class qualifies by level 3. Multiclass is where it gets hard.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Q 20 Is a paladin and a healer really only able to summon their mounts once per day? Is that the same for the blackguard's nightmare? Is there a way around that?

A19: why would you ever take any other classes? maybe after you have planar shepard10 on one side, you could go contemplative or something with the cleric.

I'm not. It's gestalt.

And I'm just looking for a 9th level feat. That's it.

Q14: I have seen on boards mention of a varient intimidate rule that uses strength instead of charisma.  What book is this found in?  Thank you.

That only adds +4 to the intimidate check.

my bad -- that's what I get for not looking at the book first. Embarrassed

I'm trying to find where I saw adding strength to intimidate checks -- the only thing I can think of is maybe something from a 3rd party. Shrug

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.

A 20

If you're using Action Points, there's a variant option where:

Activate Class Ability

A character can spend 1 action point to gain another use of a class ability that has a limited number of uses per day. For example, a monk might spend an action point to gain another use of her stunning fist ability, or a paladin might spend an action point to make an additional smite attack.

I'm afraid I'm not actually sure of this rule's original source.

I'm pretty sure the DMG said something about allowing this variant.
But it was more of a suggestion than an actual rule :c

Be a mistling fey and create a living spell summon mount?

It's LA+4... pretty sure you could get that template easily, given your GM.

No, different DM's campaign. He was debating on what to take, but wasn't sure if he should take a female healer or go male paladin, or female Wu Jen. The mount once per day thing was putting him off.

Hmm. And doesn't it say that Healers can use those spells as well, near the beginning of the book?

Q23
Without using templates, powers, or spells, how can I turn a Dragonwrought kobold into a Fey type creature?
Logged

Hood - My first answer to all your build questions; past, present, and future.

Speaking of which:
Don't even need TO for this.  Any decent Hood build, especially one with Celerity, one-rounds [Azathoth, the most powerful greater deity from d20 Cthulu].
Does it bug anyone else that we've reached the point where characters who can obliterate a greater deity in one round are considered "decent?"

Why would you?

Umm... if you really wanted to you could take the half-fey savage progression,... I guess...

Q24:Regarding epic armors and such. The table lists the prices of epic armor enhancements up to +20. However, there is a gap in prices between +5 and +6 (25k -> 360k). That text indicates that the prices listed are for pure enhancement bonuses, but not abilities added to it.

How would you figure out the cost of an epic item with a low level ability? Say, +6 armor of light fortification. It's effective bonus would be +7, but the +6 bumps it into epic range. Would it cost 490k gold (+7 on the epic table)? Given the gap, it also seems reasonable that it could cost 371k (360 for the +6 enhancement to armor bonus, 11k for the +1 ability bumping the original +5 to +6), however that is completely unsupported by any rule I've found, which likely means I've made it up. Of course, having light fortification effectively cost 130k gp seems just as unreasonable as my option, which is why I've come here.

Have I just confused myself?
