Trying to Find a feat? A thread for help

[Taverick]

So I know that I myself ask for help finding feats a lot. So I'm making a thread for people like me who need a little assistance (if there is another thread for this please let me know).

As for me, I need to find a specific feat. I forget the name of it, otherwise I'd run a google search, but it does this; You sacrifice the ability to cast burning hands to sheathe your hands in fire to make a burning touch attack. Your hands (not the rest of you) also gains immunity to fire.

So not a feat this time, but something else. Is there a write up for a kangaroo? I've got this crazy idea for a character but I can't find the stat for a roo in any of the monster manuals or other main book. I could be missing it, this is true, but I've gone through all the books I have. Anyone can lend a hand?

[Forb]

I don't have kangaroo stats, but I feel like if this thread continues at this rate we will be putting together the pieces of a very silly puzzle.

Heh, while that would be interesting, the first post was for a monk who could weld with his hands. The last post I made isn't connected to it.

If there isn't - although there might be... - there was a Homebrew thread devoted to Australiana that most certainly has it.

Neat, if I search for Australiana will I find it? or would it be deleted due to age at this point?

[Shyftir]

A buddy of mine says he knows of a Feat which allows you to channel touch spells through a weapon. (Note not attack and do the spell so much as get weapon bonuses to the spell's attack.)

Does anybody know where to find that?

According to the googles there is one such feat from "The Netbook of Feats", whatever that is.

The closest weapon channeling feat I know of off hand is Smiting Spell (PH2 pg 92)

Thats not what he meant Magnema. I though of that feat at first too, but it doesn't do what he wants. What he wants is to apply the weapon bonus to hit to his touch spell to hit, not do extra damage with the weapon.

The only book I'm aware of with kangaroo stats is the third party Book of Familiars from Troll Lord Games...they're a little overpowered, IMHO. And I should know, I live in Australia! :smallbiggrin:

I don't think there's a non-third party feat like that, since there's no way that you can use a melee weapon to make a touch attack without enhancements or spells. You can't just put a spell into a weapon and add your weapon's to-hit to the spell's touch attack to-hit.

The metamagic feat Smiting Spell comes close, but again, this simply channels the spell through the weapon and allows you to make a melee attack with it.

Well, thats not entirely true. There are ways to put a spell into a weapon and have it go off with a hit. Also, the Duskblade base class is all about channeling spells through weapons. I hesitated to mention them cause he was looking for a feat not a class ability.

Are you looking for more tricks than the animal could normally learn, or just different tricks than are listed? Because I don't think the list presented is meant to be exhaustive.

[Jinn Master]

More tricks than they could normally learn- more than allowed by the INT score of the animal.

There's an optional feat in complete adventurer p101 that allows the animal 3 extra tricks. Pretty sure there's also a magic item floating around somewhere that does the same.

Not so much a monster, but a playable creature. There is a prestige class that I'm looking at that requires an innate sonic mind-affecting ability to qualify for.

I know of an item to dominate an Animal, or one that reduces Handle Animal DCs by 5 (for a specific Animal or Magical Beast). I've never heard of one that gives bonus tricks.

There are the Dvati from Dragon compendium. They're two beings with one soul, and by shouting in unison can use a Mind-Effecting Sonic ability as a move action. Depending on how you read the rules, though, they're either on the (very) powerful side of +1 LA or totally unplayable. There's a good chance you'll get a book thrown at you for asking.

Is there a feat or a spell that lets you create a unique monster/familar?

[Serpentine]

Like Beget Bogun? It's a Druid spell.

I actually looked at them for it. But is it mind affecting? I only looked in the Dragon Compendium version, and not their original Dragon Magazine write-up, but it doesn't say anything about it being mind affecting, just that it doesn't affect creatures that can't hear it.

[Lyndworm]

On closer inspection, it appears that you are correct. Hm.

The fluff behind it says that it's a "maddening cacophony" that lets them "confuse" a creature they flank... Shouldn't that be mind-effecting? It's not, but shouldn't it be?

[Taverick]

Okay, this is a tricky one. A friend of mine says that there are four feats that you can use to bump up your charisma score for the purpose of spells per day and save dc's, I can only find three. The ones I found are Spellcasting prodigy, Shera-lem sorcery and sheraze-lem sorcery. I trust him that it exists, I just have looked through all the books I have, and all the books he has at least three times and haven't found the fourth. And no, he isn't mistaking the last feat for the Blood of Siberys sorc class variant. Soooo... Help?

[Lyndworm]

I only knew about the Spellcasting Prodigy feat, so you're already doing better than I am. (I also knew about the Blood of Siberys feature, but that's not what you're trying to find.) Good luck!

[Taverick]

Not so much a feat, in fact it's not, but I need help finding a monster. A campaign I'm running has the party hunting a sea troll, but I can't find the monster entry for the scrag. Wiki says it's in the monster manual 2, but I've looked and it's not. I've tried all the monster manuals, and even stormwrack, but nuthin! HELP!

[Belmikor]

Scrags are aquatic (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/typesSubtypes.htm#aquaticSubtype) trolls (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/troll.htm). SRD entry has all the info you need. So should MM 1 IIRC.

[Darrin]

Try:

Nycter (MMIII), 3HD + 2LA. Hunting Cry (Su) is sonic and mind-affecting.

Gibberling (Monsters of Faerun), 1HD + 1LA. It's not explicitly labeled as sonic or mind-affecting, but shaken *is* a mind effect, and based on the description I don't see how it could not be sonic.

Vril (Drow of the Underdark), 1HD + 0LA. Shriek (Ex) is sonic damage but not mind-affecting... they can take a racial feat that adds a save vs. "daze" effect, but daze from a non-spell effect is generally not considered as mind-affecting.

[Taverick]

Okay, while I personally hate dwarves (not 100% sure why, I just don't like them for some odd reason) I have a character concept in mind for a shield fighter. Loathe as I am to admit it, a dwarf would be the best choice for this character. Now while debating on what kind of dwarf I'd want, I remembered a sub-race called the Jungle dwarf, but I've no idea where I saw it last. So a little help with finding the fuzzy dudes? Would like to see how they fit into my concept.

Still, my aversion to dwarves persists. So if there are any other races that would be a good choice for an armor and shield specialist fighter, please let me know. Preferably a race that dwarves don't spit at on the street, as the concept is kinda built around mountain plate, which is a dwarven armor.

Jungle Dwarf (http://srd.realmspire.com/unearthedEnvironmentalVariants.html#jungle-dwarves) is an environmental variant in Unearthed Arcana. It doesn't look like it really helps you... they lose darkvision, stonecutting, and racial bonus on craft checks to get a +2 racial bonus to heal, knowledge (nature), and spot checks. Favored class switches to ranger, so if you wanted to avoid multiclass penalties on a ranger dip, it might help.

There's generally not much reason to look at Dwarven subraces unless you want to shift that Cha penalty somewhere else. Gold Dwarf (DMG), Desert Dwarf (UA), and Dream Dwarf (Races of Stone) switches it to Dex.

Earth Dwarf (UA) looks like a pretty sweet deal, though... essentially Dwarfiness "turned up to 11". +2 Str/-2 Dex, doubles most of your racial bonuses (including stability) in exchange for a -2 penalty vs. spells/effects with the [air] subtype or from creatures with the [air] subtype.

Preferably a race that dwarves don't spit at on the street, as the concept is kinda built around mountain plate, which is a dwarven armor.

I'm fond of Frostblood Orcs/Half-Orcs, particularly if you can fit a 3-level dip into Ranger in somewhere (to swap Endurance for another bonus feat). But dwarves have that whole racial hatred vs orcs/goblinoids... probably not a good choice for mountain plate. Neraph (Planar Handbook) might be worth a look for the +2 natural armor bonus. But if you're going to focus on a defensive tank, you'll want your Con bonus cranked up as high as you can get it... which would probably be a Dragonborn Mongrelfolk (Races of Destiny): +6 Con, -2 Dex, -2 Int, -4 Cha. See if you can throw the Arctic template on there as well (Dragon #306) for an additional +2 Con/-2 Cha. But with a Cha penalty that low, you're likely to be spit on by pretty much everybody.

You want the half-fey from fiend folio. They have entrall which is sonic and mind affecting as a spell-like.

Also enjoy your siren since i'm 95% sure that's the prestige class you're talking about.
