02-23-07, 12:50 AM How would an Incorporeal creature get more non-magical ranged combat ammunition?
This would also apply for thrown weapons.
The Incorporeal sidebars and updates tell me what happens to the thrown, launched, or fired ammunition.

I would like to know how, excluding Ghost Touch items, the Incorporeal creature would ever reload.

Would the feat Ghostly Grasp Feat (Libris Mortis) aid in this?
It seems that non-magical items are incorporeal only when carried by the incorporeal creature.

Aside from initial creation, how would this creature pick up and make mundane items incorporeal?

Thanks.

02-23-07, 02:09 PM Ghostly Grasp would let them pick up corporeal ammo, although not carry it through walls. Other than that, it depends what type of incorporeal they are. A Ghost, for example, is corporeal on the Ethereal plane, so it could pay a Wizard to planeshift a bunch of stuff there, which it would then be able to use. A Shadow or the like though, doesn't have many options. I believe Ghostwalk had rules for making incorporeal items, however.
