Cool, those are good links.

Had a game the other day and one of the players used dust of disapperance, and aurgued that because True seeing was not in the description, it couldn't be used. But I think otherwise.

The items description says "Normal vision can’t see dusted creatures or objects, nor can they be detected by magical means, including see invisibility or invisibility purge."

So because it doesn't state True Seeing, I beleive it can be used. What do you all think?

Rapid shot has always perplexed me when it comes to Crossbows. Needing a action of some sort to reload a crossbow, how would you be able to get the "extra ranged attack" with it as you couldn't reload the crossbow in time. Rapid Reload makes that solution a hell of a lot easier (and then Crossbow Mastery from CotCT players). You would think it be something in the feat saying that about crossbows.

Thoughts?

Why would you be wearing heavy armour if you were a ranger anyways? If you are a archery ranger you are wanting a high dex, so you are more likely to be losing out on any dex bonus to AC if you wear heavier then light armour.

RAW I think the bonuses are size specific so a medium earth elemental always has the same stats.

personally I wouldn't mind some stat scaling just so our not always forced to pick the largest or smallest sizes you can take.

however if a medium has same stat buff as huge then the medium (minus the DC for whirlwind, burn etc) is actually better because it dosen't suffer from the negative size modifiers (although you don't gain the benefits of reach)

I finally got in touch with my DM and he ruled the stats bonus only applied to the size of elemental you are shaping to, which I am fine with :)

Anyone want to give an idea of which way it might go though?

Cool thanks Wraith.

Which errata did you post in, here or spells, so I know where to keep an eye out for it.

Hrmm seems I've found thanks to a friend a little ambiguity with the way wild shape works with elemental shape.

It says at 10th level you gain the ability to turn into a large elemental. So when turning into an elemental you the wildshape works as Elemental Shape III.

So where this is ambiguius is that doesn't clearly state that when you change into a Large elemental the wildshape works as Elemental Shape III, just when to turn into an elemental.

So if your wild shape for elemental now works as Elemental III, and you turn into a Medium Elemantal. What stat increase would you get? The ones for elemental III and not taking a large shape, or the ones for elemental II staying at medium shape?

Wow thats a great pickup. Just checked the wording for Elemental shape and yes it would apply as it says "it also allows you to assume the form of...". So would assume plant shape does as well. But you just have to remember the size penalaties and damage outputs if you take a large size.

I see druids are becoming the second monk class being MAD, which makes playing one that bit more difficult. I really liked the idea of having a Cleric Domain over an animal compantion, as it gives druids some more options rather then being the stock standard type.

Question: Is there anything stopping a druid who takes a humanoid form such as an elemental shape from putting on / using an item once in that form? So could they wear armour and gain the armour bonus, or weild a shield and gain the sheild bonus. Or indeed could they wear a ring that had an activation item. There doesn't seem anything that stops that from happening in the rules, but just seeing what everyones thoughts are.

Only problems I see is the item would need to be big enough to fit the new shape, and then actually be able to put the weapons on. Thoughts?
