Q8302: hey sorry to be a pain but if you were a totemist and took levels in warshaper could you increase the damage dice size of your natural attacks and if you have multiple bite attacks from different sources you can't use them in succession without two heads (just verifying someone in my group thinks you can)
Q8301: Hi. Another question for my Hellfire Warlock build. If I maximize my Eldritch Blast with Maximize Spell-like ability: Eldritch Blast feat, and turn it into a Hellfire Blast, will the maximize then result in a maximized Eldritch blast plus 6d6 (which result in the average damage of 21), or will it maximize both the dice from Eldritch Blast AND Hellfire blast?
A8301: It would maximize the base eldritch blast damage and the extra damage from hellfire blast. Here's the relevant text (emphasis mine)
Whenever you use your eldritch blast ability, you can change your eldritch blast into a hellfire blast.
Of course, an alternate reading of this could be that, since it is no longer an eldritch blast, you can't Maximize it at all.

A8302a: Yes, you can increase the damage dice size. A8302b: Natural attacks don't get iterative attacks, no matter your BAB. If the form you're in has a bite and 2 claws, that's all you get. If you don't have more than one bite attack, like a hydra or (possibly, AFB) a gibbering mouther, you can't use more than one bite attack in a round.

Q8304: Is it a standard action or a swift action to targeting creatures with the glance from "Freezing glance" (Frostburn, page 95)? Casting the spell clearly is a standard action (as written in the spell description), but the "Each round you may target a single living creature. It must make a Will saving throw or be frozen in place." confuses me.
Can I, after I have casted the spell on myself, just freely target a creature each round (as a swift action) for the duration of the spell, or is the targeting a standard action just like casting the spell itself, in the first place?
edit: Sorry for not typing the "Qxxxx"-tag. Fixed now.
A8304: While the obvious intent was to grant a gaze attack, as written you may freely target one creature a round with no action. It's simply a continuation of the spell.

Q8303: Must subtlety weapons be short swords? And if not, what's the price for that enchantment? Thanks.
A8303: Technically, yes, since none of the unique items are modular enhancements.
There's an expensive way to change it from shortswords (add a shapeshifting enhancement to it), and a way to figure out the "price of the subtlety enhancement" (subtract the cost of the rest of the equipment from it - a +1 short sword and a sword of subtlety differ only by the subtlety effect, and a +1 short sword costs 2310 gp), but you'll need DM permission to simply enhance a different weapon with "subtlety" as it isn't a typical weapon enhancement.

Q8305: On Special Attacks line of this monster (www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/monsters/vermiur...) is listed Spell-Like Abilities and in the Epic Level Handbook itself is the same, but neither in the book nor in the SRD are mentioned which Spell-Like Abilities are those, so i ask: Where or which are those Spell-Like Abilities?
