Another question.

Concordant Killer & Monster of Legend:

Concordant Greatsword & Legendary Might - Legendary Might gives a +1 to attack and damage rolls for every overlap. Does Concordant Greatsword counting as all alingments and its ghost touch ability count as overlaps?

Is it just me, or was the ENTIRE discussion on page 3 of this thread just an excuse for everyone to up their own post count?   :P

Sorry to add to the list of questions, but I've got a couple questions of my own.

1) Can I use the version of Steadfast Determination from this thread (Player's Handbook II section), removing the second benefit from the feat if need be? If not, then perhaps I can at least waive the Endurance prerequisite (or replace it with Con score 15+) from the normal feat?

2) Would the damage scaling from the revised Improved Unarmed Strike feat that is being used be applicable to my tentacle attacks, since unarmed strikes are described as being made with "any part of your body"?

3) This is a more general question that anyone can answer, but can someone clarify Strength Devotion? It's hotly contested whether the slam attack is permanent or temporary, and I've seen it ruled both ways.

I think most of them are mine, heh sorry.  :-\

Just one more quick one.

1) Is the Pathfinder Feat, Agile Maneuvers acceptable? Basically "aggressive" grapple changes to Dex + BAB + Size. It's like weapon finesse for the "aggressive" side of grappling.

Hmm... I think Legendary Might is supposed to apply to natural weapons only.  However, I could very well be wrong.  If it applies to all attacks, then yes they are overlaps.  osle, can you weigh in on this?  Is legendary might all melee attacks, or just natural weapons?

With my new versions of Iron Will & Great Fortitude, I'm allowing people to meet the prereqs for the normal Steadfast Determination with either.  I should really put that in the houserules...

2) Would the damage scaling from the revised Improved Unarmed Strike feat that is being used be applicable to my tentacle attacks, since unarmed strikes are described as being made with "any part of your body"?
I'm not sure what you're asking.  Are you asking if you can combine your tentacle natural attacks with IUS and use the increased damage there?  I don't think that works in general with other natural attacks, like claws or whatnot.  Think about a Kobold Monk, for example (what a sad state that would be).  They don't get to increase their claw damage based on their unarmed strike progression.

3) This is a more general question that anyone can answer, but can someone clarify Strength Devotion? It's hotly contested whether the slam attack is permanent or temporary, and I've seen it ruled both ways.
It's definitely ambiguous.  I don't mind handing out the permanent slam, unless that makes the feat a must-take.  It's a very bad feat if it's only while active.

Well, Strength devotion helps improve my natural weapon damage so that it's not a complete bust, though admittedly it's still really not a "must-have" feat for me even given that.

Are any dead levels being used?

Given the number of +1s from monster classes and such, could ability-boosting magic items get odd advancements too?  +1=1,000, +3=9,000, etc?  Will the various tomes work like chapters where the +1 costs 27,500g, then the +2 would cost another 27,500g, etc?

Well, then, good.

Sure, you can use dead level abilities (even though there are a lot fewer dead levels...).  And yes, the tomes can work like that, though they get progressively harder to find as you get to higher boni.

It was suposed to be all melee attacks. Notice however the Legendary Might bonus isn't enanchment, so it won't bring new abilities for free with your houserules.

Is afflication with more than one group possible? I was thinking a major in Praesidio Arcanum, as it is a very good fit (thank you SDK), with a minor in The Fallen.

Also, can I get Slash Tongue, Death Grimace, and Gutwrench approved, due to them being from the BoVD.

IIRC, the rules for affiliations are that you can actually be a member in any number that you qualify for. However, every affiliation after the first has a cumulative -10 penalty for your score in that affiliation, and you can only gain the benefits of a single affiliation each day.

Speaking of which, some of the affiliation benefits may need to be changed to account for such transience. Imagine gaining and losing the Necropolitan template every other day by being a member of the Forsaken and something else.

Those are fine.  And Garryl's correct about how that works.

If that's possible, then I think my character will be primarily associated with the Dreaming Apothecary, and secondarily with the PA. The idea is that he's a piece of equipment made by the DA for the PA, and they're both giving him a "test drive". :D (And of course the DA might have ulterior motives and/or the PA might suspect them of having ulterior motives...)
