Recently my character acquired a headband that increases intelligence. It states that this is a temporary increase for the first 24 hours. I am now going up a level, and I can't figure out if the intelligence increase means I should get an extra skill point or not. Is there a rule for this that I have overlooked?

Recently some issues have come up that pose a bit of an ethical dilema. I'd liek some opinions, and some ruling references if they exist on a few topics:
Is using something like control undead an evil act if you are using the controlled undead to fight other evil creatures?
Is it an evil act to pass a Rune Curse on to an evil being (such as a Cleric of Asmodeus)?

As a wider question I guess the question is how pragmatic can a lawful good (not a paladin) be in terms of using the tools available?

I would like to know if there is a ruling, or if not what people's opinions are of using Badger's Ferocity to replace the Keen Edge spell requirement for crafting Keen weapons.

I know I could simply take the +5 difficulty and not care about it, but that is not the point of the question.

Also, am I right in thinking that a +1 Keen weapon (Keen being a +2 equivalent enhancement) would count as an equivalent +3 weapon and therefore overcome DR for silver/cold Iron?

I'm sure it's been asked many times before, and no doubt will be again, but I'd like some views on this:

Is it worth a Cleric dipping 1 level of Paladin, and if so what level would be best to do this?

For further information it's currently a 5th level Dwarf Cleric of Torag.

Hi,

It's probably been asked before, but I'm hoping someone will not mind helping me out.

I'm about to, finally, get Craft Magic Arms and Armor for my Dwarf Cleric of Torag (lvl5) and I have all sorts of ideas for things to make for the other party members. Our rogue is very excited about the idea of a keen rapier. Given that a lot of our party kills are due to the sneaky one getting to do (comparitively) massive damage once she has snuck up while we were providing a distraction I'm quite happy with the idea as well. However, I've just been looking at the rules and I need to clarify something: I know my level needs to be 3 times the bonus on the weapon, but does that just mean the plus, or does it mean the total bonus? To put it another way, can my 5th level Cleric make a Keen rapier +1? (I know I'll be taking two lots of the +5 difficulty for not meeting the level and spell requirements, but I am prepared for that eventuality.)

Thanks in advance to anyone who can clarify this for me.
