Any differences for regional feats?  What about the ancestor feats from Rokugan?

There's a houserule about that.

There is nothing in the chargen/houserules thread mentioning regional feats.  Using the find command in there for "region" comes up empty.

Oh... that's Magipunk.  Right.  Um, generally my feeling is that regional feats are okay.  What were you looking at?

I was looking at an ancestor feat from Rokugan actually: Keen Intellect.  It was updated in Dragon 318.

I come with another bunch of questions!

Concordant Killer - Concordant Greatsword:
I can't further enchant/improve the greatsword, right?

The XP cost of founding a Legacy, will that be handled the same as crafting?

Should the founding event be the same as my deed?

Is selecting Legacy abilities from premade objects allowed (Link)?

Does Paragon work with Master Spellthief, without first advancing spellcasting?

"No I'm just trying to figure out how far you want them bent."

Correct.

Yes, all pre-game XP expenditure is handled that way.

Quote

Um, sure, unless you have a different idea.

Quote

Yes.

Just to clarify, are you asking if MS stacks with Paragon Magic without having to take Paragon Caster first?

I...think that is what I am asking. I was just wanting to advance caster levels and spells stolen, but re-reading that Paragon Magic...Does MS double dip that caster level increase?

Yes, you can advance caster level and spells stolen.  No, you can't double-dip -- MS stacks Spellthief Levels, not Spellthief Caster Level.

Good, less sillyness.  :)

Still a couple levels before it matters, but what are your thoughts on the Amaranth Eclipse Discipline?

Side note: I wanted to thank you for making that list of homebrew disciplines.

My pleasure (I really really needed it for writing Ideals for Wyrm Warrior), and I love Amaranth Eclipse.

Wyrm warrior... :o That is quite a list of options.

May I suggest sourcing each dragon? I doubt I know where half those dragons are from.



Affinities for the body slot seem to imply it is a misc slot. Can I move Boots of Agile Leaping and/or Steadfast Boots to the body slot without the 1.5 multiplier from being an effect that doesn't match the affinities?

If an ability/effect grants/improves an enchantment bonus to armor/weapon, may we select set cost properties of equal value to the bonus cost (+1 bonus to a weapon is 2000, Aquatic cost 2000).

Yes, I can do that.

Well, it may be a misc slot, but I think it's more like a catchall for things which don't have any other slot.  So the boots are clearly good for the feet slot.

Oh, you mean the properties which aren't tied to a +X cost and so don't give an enhancement bonus via my houserules?  No, the flat gp cost ones still don't give an enhancement bonus.

I think that Sohala is asking if, when an ability or effect would grant a special property of your choice based on equivalent enhancement bonus to a weapon or armor, you could instead take a property that is priced as a flat gold cost instead, as long as its gold cost is less than or equal to the change in market value that the additional enhancement bonus would have caused.

Alright, I will see if I have the budget to move them then.
Edit: Did some gear shuffling to get enough. :)

Yay, and thanks for the needed translation...I couldn't come up with better wording.

Can I apply templates to my character "before" taking levels in tarrasque while he still counted as humanoid?

I d assume: no. and furthermore the bonuses I d get would probably not apply when my type changes but better be safe than sorry.

I am asking this because feral would be pretty awesome for my character story wise and optimization wise.Also it doesn`t make too much sense that it can be only applied to humanoids or monstrous humanoids....
