Cleric & Paladin spell Blessed Aim or something like that might be handy. That gives +2 to all allies ranged attacks, but what about your own? |

Bumping EDIT: Revised Q 87 What are absolutely necessary 1st and 2nd level Paladin and Ranger spells when you're a ranged combatant? Not including Bless and Arrow Mind. Bless Weapon is number 1 on the list if you typically fight evil stuff. Combine with the old version of Hunter's Mercy (if you can get it allowed) for insta-crit PWNage. |

Q109
this one concerns the Blood Magus feature "bloodseeking spell":
let's say that I apply this to a fireball -- does the extra d6 damage also have the "fire" type? (the CArc entry seems to be a bit ambiguous -- unless there's something that I'm missing)
bump? Since the extra d6 comes from "drawing blood", I'd say it's not energy damage. You're right that it's ambiguous. I'd either make it unblockable or slashing/piercing or even desiccation. But not the same type of damage the original spell had (unless its also slashing, piercing, or desiccating depending on the interpretation). A109 My opinion: As it does not say it is a different type of damage, it has to be that same

bump? I'd say untyped, like vampiric touch. See my problem? Given the source of the damage .... well, I can see the merit to both sides. I was just hoping for a more definitive RAW answer.  Thanks for the input. Let me add some real context: I was trying out some stuff for the Magic Missile thread, that involves liberal use of Energy Admixture and Bloodseeking Spell ....  |

 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.

The DM and I only know of the crit damage one. Was it changed? They all affect crits somehow, but one version made your next attack automatically hit and threaten a crit. This was originally in Masters of the Wild or something, and was reprinted in a 3.5 book that I forget, and then nerfed in the Spell Compendium (I forget what that version does exactly, but it isn't nearly as uber). |

The SC version makes your next shot with a bow (not including crossbows) automatically a critical hit. If you miss with the shot, the spell is wasted.

No, it's not the same. The original automatically hit, and was a critical threat (you still had to confirm it). You have to hit with this one, but it makes your shot a confirmed crit if it hits. So when combined with Bless Weapon, the original let your next shot automatically hit and automatically confirm as a crit. |

Q 135: Is there a natural way to increase the threat range of a bow/arrow combination? I knwo there is Improved Crit and the piercing equiv of keen, but what about some way to make it naturally 19-20?

Why would you even do this? It hurts my eyes and looks like you ate your keyboard before suffering an attack of explosive diarrhea. If using Genesis to hide your phylactry, set it at -300 degrees farenheit. See how do-gooders fare with a liquid atmosphere. |

Just read it over on the pdf, and I realized that we've been using the MoF version since day one. |

Q 136 Where can I find information on characters wearing furs. I know there's the winter outfits, and the blanket, but what about just plain furs? I've found prices, but not what they do for a character who wears them in frigid temperatures.
EDIT: And I've read Frostburn for the full set of fur clothes, but I'm just talking a cloak that you just recently skinned so that you can make it down a mountain, etc.

Q137a: In which book is the Splitting magic weapon ability found?
Q137b: Is there a better non-epic weapon option for a PC (likely a swiftblade of some sort) that wants to throw a virtual wall of bullets arrows at his enemies each round?

There are slashing arrows available. Ok, but are there arrows that have a crit range of 19-20 WITHOUT keen on them? So when I add keen, it drops to 17-20? |
