Ask a Simple Question, Part 20: Return of the Dread Gazebo

[Emo_Duck]

A144: Since a Prismatic Wall must be a vertical plane, you could divide the gas cloud in question, but I think that's pretty much it.

Q147: Is Recall Death augmentable like the lower-level Recall Agony? As in, will the save DC increase by 1 per 2 extra PP spent, and will the damage on a succesful save increase by 1d6 per PP spent? Or is the augmentation section usually disregarded when a power functions "as [previous power]"?

Q 145 If an Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil using a warding, is it in any way vocal? ie Would I hear it being cast like you would Prismatic Wall?

Q 146 The Phantom in MMV has a vulnerability to ghost touch weapons at +50%. Is there a way around that, or a way to lower that?

A145 No you would not be able to hear it as it is a spell like ability and therefor has no vocal components.

Q148 If you're a Necropolitan pc , do you gain the class HD or the D12, from LM ?

[Garryl]

Abner, you should be Q 148. Emo_Duck had Q 147 a couple of posts above you.

Q 149: Since Vow of Poverty grants benefits based on your character level, does that mean that it is a level dependent effect that will be reduced by negative levels?

[The_Mad_Linguist]

Q146 If you're a Necropolitan pc , do you gain the class HD or the D12, from LM ?

D12, no con bonus


And honestly, question numbers are entirely pointless.

No.  You never lose feats because of negative levels.

I'm not saying you'd lose VoP from negative levels. What I'm asking is if the level-dependent benefits (AC bonuses, save bonuses, ability score bonuses, etc.) would be reduced to those that you would normally gain for your lower effective level.

For instance, say VoP gave you a +10 exalted bonus to your Foo checks at level 12, and a +20 bonus at level 16. If you were level 16 and got hit by 4 negative levels, would to VoP exalted bonus to your Foo checks drop down to +10?

Q/A141:  OK, I read Squire of Legend, but I'm not seeing how it lets you use your racial abilities more frequently.  Did I miss something?

Lesser Squire's Burden: Reikhardt allows you to grant someone an extra Su or Ex ability use, once per day.

Q150: If an ability lets you do something to your Ally, are you Allies with yourself?  What if you used the Psionic power that gives you two minds?
Q151: Assuming the answer to that is no, what are some ways other than Squire of Legend to get additional uses out of the Synad's racial Multitask?  I know of Improved Multitask (or whatever the feat is from the same book) already.
Q152: Multitask only seems to grant you a swift action, and that has to be a mental only swift action.  Not quite the quicken that was advertised.  What are some good uses for a Swift Mental Only action?

And

Q 150 What'd be a good feat to take at 1st level for a Factotum? I read the handbook, but it doesn't really say "take this at 1st" anywhere.

Factotums want to take Fount of Inspiration.  It's here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/frcc/20070606


Font of Inspiration

You have unearthed of well of inspiration from within your soul.

Prerequisite: Int 15, Must have Inspiration as a class feature.

Benefits: When you take this feat for the first time, you gain 1 inspiration point.

Special: You can take this multiple times. Each time you take this feat after the first time, the number of inspiration points you gain increases by 1 (for example, you gain 2 inspiration points if you take the feat a second time). The maximum number of times you can take this feat is equal to your Intelligence modifier.


That will pretty much be a good feat at any level.

Q. 153:  Is there any way to see through several thick walls for the purposes of archery?  Brilliant energy will let me shoot through walls, but the only way to remove the miss chance appears to be True Strike.  Any ideas?

[The_Mad_Linguist]

Master of The Silent Sound (or maybe Master of the Hidden Sound) from dragon lets you see through things.

Clairvoyance, perhaps?

Q151: Assume that water is gushing through an opening in a stone wall. Can one use a Wall of Stone spell to block it? Specifically, is flowing water treated as an object? The wall cannot be conjured so that it occupies the same space as a creature or another object. Can one cast it underwater?

[CantripN]

A151 - I'd say that it doesn't count as an object. I'd count anything you can't move through to be an object, otherwise we're stuck at "Wall of Stone can never be used, at all".

[wotmaniac]

A150
If you ever plan on leaving factotum for any reason (multiclassing, PrC, etc.), then you probably want to take Able Learner.

Q154(Fixing numbering) What is a good polymorph form that can wield a weapon, and has pounce?

War Troll works. Depends on your HD, really.

Q155: If I take the ghost template to become an Undead (Augmented Humanoid, Incorporeal). Then take the Otherworldly feat, my type becomes Outsider and I'll be protected from Turning. But will I totally lose the Undead type and all it's benefits? If so, it doesn't seem like a good trade.

[CantripN]

A155: There's a table in Savage Species about which type takes over. Undead wins over Outsider. Plus, I don't think you qualify for it, anyway.
