Gah, I just came up with an awesome idea but it requires being level 9.

You'll get there...

[Sohala]

Thank you sirpercival.

Another round of questions:

Imps get a natural poison; is it possible to use this on weapons and how safe would it be for the imp.

Dragonfang weapon, Draconomicon pg 117-118. Only stipulation I could see was piercing or slashing weapons; does this include bows, if so, does it also work with Elvencraft Bows, Races of the Wild pg 166?

Does Martial Stance, Tome of Battle pg 31, meet its own prerequisite, assuming a casting of Heroics, Spell Compendium pg 113, was used to meet the prerequisite when Martial Stance was first gained?

With all the feat changes, is there possibly anything we can do to Precise Shot? If not, that is understandable.

Oh, and custom magic items, will an at-will Prestidigitation be allowed?

[Jackinthegreen]

How much Dragonlance material is allowed, if any?  Or just ask on a case by case basis?

Use the same rules that I gave ShadowViper for his Yuan-Ti poison.

No, I don't think so.  It's not the bow itself that does the piercing/slashing damage, it's the arrows... and it seems pretty clear from the description that arrows are too small.

Does Martial Stance, Tome of Battle pg 31, meet its own prerequisite, assuming a casting of Heroics, Spell Compendium pg 113, was used to meet the prerequisite when Martial Stance was first gained?

So, just to make sure here: (a) you cast Heroics to give yourself Martial Study; (b) you take Martial Stance; (c) Heroics goes away, so that Martial Stance would (conceivably) satisfy its own prereq?  Yeah, I'm ok with that.

With all the feat changes, is there possibly anything we can do to Precise Shot? If not, that is understandable.

I'm not too worried about Precise Shot, isn't there an item that can give it to you?

Oh, and custom magic items, will an at-will Prestidigitation be allowed?

Yes, that's fine.

Case by case.  I don't have all the books.

You posted that answer on another thread btw, so quoted to kill the next question.

Oh and <points to eariler question about poison tactic> 

I have no problem milking your own poison, but it loses its efficacy after a number of hours equal to your Con mod.

Case by case.  I don't have all the books.

Well, one of my first thoughts was the War Mage PRC in Age of Mortals in case someone wants better blasting and Cha to AC on allies.  There are also awesome spells like Dalamar's Lightning Lance or Bestow Greater Curse.

Looking through those spells, I notice Disjoin...  Will it and Disjunction be used against us?

I actually changed it after that when I looked through mah books... but I don't know where I posted that.

@Jack: War Mage is fine.  I'd rather keep Disjoin & Disjunction off the table, everyone will be happier without them around.

Poison (Ex): <snip> A naga can use a full-round action
(provoking attacks of opportunity from threatening foes) to apply
a single dose of its natural poison to its weapon, running no risk
of poisoning itself.<snip>

Answering here to not clutter anymore.

I was going to mention that the skill requirements of IotSV prevent entry at 5th (which I seem to have done anyways), but since it seems to keep coming up and most PrCs are entry at level 5 anyways, do you think I should just change it? If I reduce the rank requirements from 9 to 8, I'd also reduce the vestige level requirement to 2nd so you can still sync stance gains with your IL without wasting a level. That or push them back a level in the class (and probably tweak the levels at which some of the other maneuvers and abilities are gained).

I should probably talk about this in the class's thread instead of here, shouldn't I?

I had forgotten/not noticed that you can't enter till ECL7. If you decide to change it or leave it is up to you. I'll be fine with either.

I'm considering using a homebrew martial adept like Warrior-Poet, instead of Warblade.

That's quite a nice class, I like it.  Either way I'll add it (and IotSV) to my pre-approved list.

I really wish he hadn't limited the Perform options to Perform (Weapon Drill). I really want to use Perform (Dance). I realize that they aren't really that different, and that mostly it's a fluff thing. So is it OK if I change that?

Yes, that's fine.

Edit: If I take the Extra Music feat, would it apply to my uses of Commanding Presence per encounter, as well as the number of uses of my racial bardic music ability? The Warrior-Poet draws upon his Commanding Presence uses to activate his Inspire Courage ability.

Also, would Song of the White Raven and other effects which allow bards to activate Inspire Courage as a swift action also work for the Warrior-Poet's Inspire Courage? (I don't see why not, but just double-checking).

These are fine.  Treat Commanding Presence as Bardic Music for these purposes (and for Valorous Lieutenant, if you really want it lol).

It will be interesting if my character ever meets Bozwevial's Deadly Dancer.

Edit: Is it OK if I trade out one of the normal disciplines from Warrior-Poet for Gentle Breeze?

My eyes blurred for a second and I read that as "Bozwevial's Belly Dancer."

[Nanshork]

I'd like a ruling on some homebrew, specifically DonQuixote's Elementals and Elemental Shapers for use with my Elemental Adept.

Approved.  The shapers are part of spellshaping and are thus pre-approved, and the updated elementals are required.  And awesome.  I do wish he'd do quasielementals, though.

I do agree that they're awesome.

Hey phae, just wanted to mention the Wardancer.

If that ever happens, I want everyone to agree right now that they'll stand back and let us dancefight mano-a-swordperson.

You're allowed to provide a soundtrack, of course.

[VennDygrem]

Almost finished with my character, and still willing to help with Chorrun Charr affiliation, though I've got another character on the backburner in case there ends up being another team to join it up with.
