Ask a Simple Question 21: Dunkadooballs!

If it doesn't explicitly say so, then no, you don't get another feat.  If you are about to take the given level of Thaumaturgist, however, then you should be able to re-train your feat (for, say, Cloudy Conjuration) and then gain the Augment Summoning bonus  as normal.

[Shiki]

I see, I didn't thought about that; thanks. o:

I never really dabbled into retraining/rebuilding since I think it's a really cheesy way to get everything you want when you build a character. Things like early entry into PrC with Earth/Heighten/Sanctum Spell or whatever and then retrain your feats back; or even better, retrain levels back... I can see retraining/rebuilding being used when a player makes an epic fail out of his character when he actually still wants to play it though. Oh wellz.

[X-Codes]

While it's true that the re-training/re-building rules are horribly, horribly written, they're still perfectly usable if some common sense is applied by the DM.

Q 218 Are there any spells that allow you to conjure or trasmute some sort of currency directly? I know fun stuff like Wall of Salt might make you money, but shouldn't there be a spell that directly creates money for you?

[braininthejar]

Can you apply energy substitution to wall type spells? what happens if you do (for example, switching "wall of ice" from "cold" to "sound" or "acid" ? (might have interesting effects with invisible spell metamagic )

If you want something pernament,true creation and wish.....
You could use major creation but the money would dissappear after some time.....

I know we had some sort of trick for changing spells with a range of Personal into having a fixed range or something. What was it?

Explicitly says no Personal spells. That was my first thought, too, but it doesn't work.

Ah, I thought you meant touch range.  Personal spells are already fixed range.

Spellguard of silverymoon, I think?

Oh, I suppose they technically are, but I'm trying to find a way to cram Personal spells into an Eldritch Tapestry.

You should note that salt is basically money. 

Merchants commonly exchange trade goods without using currency.  As a means of comparison, some trade goods are detailed on Table 7-3: Trade Goods. 

Table 7-3: Trade Goods

Cost	Item
1 cp	One pound of wheat
2 cp	One pound of flour, or one chicken
1 sp	One pound of iron
5 sp	One pound of tobacco or copper
1 gp	One pound of cinnamon, or one goat
2 gp	One pound of ginger or pepper, or one sheep
3 gp	One pig
4 gp	One square yard of linen
5 gp	One pound of salt or silver
10 gp	One square yard of silk, or one cow
15 gp	One pound of saffron or cloves, or one ox
50 gp	One pound of gold
500 gp	One pound of platinum

Q 215a Dragon Magazine 353 introduces the Incubus. However, I was always under the impression that the succubus was interchangeable with the incubus if you wanted to play one, or have one as the NPC. Is the one in the magazine supposed to be the new standard, and forget what they said previous about the "succubus/incubus" interchangeability?

[spoiler]Q 215b I see that it's got 4 HD, and is CR 3, but what would the LA be for that variant?[/spoiler]

215b - I figure it's probably LA 4 since they're CL 8.

Still need 215a.

And adding Q 219 What class are you supposed to advance the new incubus with for associated levels? Fighter?

Can you apply energy substitution to wall type spells? what happens if you do (for example, switching "wall of ice" from "cold" to "sound" or "acid" ? (might have interesting effects with invisible spell metamagic )

If it meets the requirements, then yes.  Wall of Fire?  Yes.  Wall of Stone?  Not so much.

How big is a Hummingbird, Tiny? If it's Enlarged and your Reduced and your base size was small you should be able to ride it. Otherwise? Try to get an item of Expansion? That gives it two size categories. You should share Alter Self with it but that ruins the point I think.
