never realized just how many things the endurance feat affects...

Quote
Endurance = +4 on:
Swim checks vs nonlethal damage (phb 84),
Con checks vs running (phb 144),
Con checks vs nonlethal damage: forced march (phb 164),
Con checks made to hold your breath (phb 84),
Con checks vs nonlethal damage: starve/thirst (dmg 304),
Fort saves vs nonlethal damage: environments (dmg 302),
Fortitude saves vs suffocation (dmg 304).
Also, may sleep in light or medium armor without fatigue.

and what a scattered bunch of references. =P

Two separate +1s.

Drunken Master 4+ Spool of endless rope= as much reach as you want.

How do we abuse this to its fullest potential?
war hulk 10. Attack every square in the universe with a standard action

Actually it seems I missed a sentence:

Quote
To use a spool of endless rope, the owner feeds out as little or as much rope as desired, up to a maximum of 500 feet at any one time.


I suppose if you can use the "splice" option of the Use Rope skill to combine multiple 500 ft pieces of the rope it could still work...I dunno if it would count as a single improvised weapon though...
Why not ... double ended weapons exist.
Say like a big Staff can equal a Ladder (improv weapon).

Double Sword + 2 of those Endless Ropes + PAO on them all = maybe.

You could pay for a single Omniscificer check on Use Rope, 1 time.

More fun with Kalamar!

First off, Salt and Sea Dogs has the pike... 11gp for a 15' reach pole arm that does 1d10 damage.  Really it should be 1d8, but that's third party for you.  The main thing is it's Martial, which is appropriate.

Second, Kingdoms of Kalamar has options to make poisons better.  Increasing the DC to make the poison by 2 increases the resist DC by one, and increases the cost by 10%.  Combined with Minor or Major Creation and you can get truly lethal poisons that are effective even into the late game (except against poison immunes of course).  Just make sure you can hit the craft DC...which shouldn't be impossible.  Combine with the Assassination weapon enchantment and various save reducers and you should land poison consistently.  DC 35 Black Lotus Poison (DC 30 poison delivered from a +5 Assassination weapon) is pretty darn brutal.  You can also make inhaled Black Lotus poison (raises the DC to make it by 4).

I was looking for that blood stuff that changes your type, but I couldn't find it.

Page 198 of the Player's Guide. Changes your official race to whatever made the potion for magic items. Might be fun if you have a Kalshatar make it or a caster who's polymorphed into a horse.

Strange, it's on page 255 of my copy.  It's titled “Kingdoms of Kalamar: Player's Guide to the Sovereign Lands” and is copyright 2006.

there are two versions of the kalamar player's guide, one is 3.0 and the other is 3.5, iirc.

The Kingdoms of Kalamar Player's Guide (it's got a red cover with a heraldic shield on it) is 3.0.  This version has the Blood Potion on pg 198. 
I'm not arguing, I'm explaining why I'm right.

Ah, found it... looks like I have the 3.0 copy.  I hope there weren't a lot of changes in the 3.5 version... does the name change or something?

Either way, that potion is incredible.  I'm thinking of combining it with Extract Gift... get EG as a spell like ability, then make yourself count as a demon.  Now grant other people stat boosts while giving yourself the ability to see out their eyes.

So, would Blood Potion let you enter Beholder Mage without constantly having to worry about getting dispelled (or is it an explicit requirement that you have eyestalks)?

And FR's Mulhorandi are literally Egyptians.  And Elminster has a portal to Ed Greenwood's garden.  Where he liked to have tea with Mordenkeinen and Dalamar.

Just on these two points, would they work?

IIRC, Blood Potion only changes your type with concern to Spells and SLAs. So JaronK's example would work, but not Tohron's (or, say a Human Beguiler trying to prestige into Shadow Mage (the Gnome only class))???

Edit: Or does 3.5 change it a fair bit? I think I only have the 3.0 one.

Correction, Blood Potion only changes your type for ITEMS. You may use the ever-awesome horseshoes of +10 int, but you would not be able to cast a dragon only spell.

Yeah, the horseshoes thing seems to be the best usage.  Though Savage Species has a ritual to change your subtype for purposes of magic and magic items... the Tenari Subtype should be enough to use Extract Gift.

Or Kalshatar if you've got a decent manifester level. Embedded shards rock pretty hard.
