Q: If you use feats/features to upgrade a touch spell to a ranged touch, can you then use "split ray" metamagic on it?
Ranged touch spells and rays aren't quite the same thing.

Ray spells have
Effect:    Some number of rays

IIRC.

ah, but the entry for Reach Spell does say in the 'benefit' section: "the spell effectively becomes a ray"

If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.

Q 14 If a weapon has 17-20 and you put keen edge on it, is it 13-20?

Q15 I'm casting a split ray scorching ray from a 4th level slot. If I want to empower it with a metamagic rod, can I use lesser rod (second level spell) or do I need standard rod (4th level slot)?

Question 17:

What templates grant an increase in size?

I want to go from medium to large or huge. Thanks!

Q 11 Reading up on Heroes of Horror, and was wondering, did any of the books actually gave stats for the demigod Cas?

Besides the avatar of Cas in the book, I mean.
No,they did not.....
Actually the only place that WotC had stats for deities are Deities and Demigods,Faiths and Pantheons and a couple of Dragon Issues....

Have fun.
From the same source as Half-Minotaur (Dragon... was it #306?), there's also Half-Ogre, but that'S probably superceded by the Half-Ogre race in RoD.

I don't think it is. If that was true then WoTC has probably screwed up countless classes and feats by accidentally using a class name as a feat. *goes to check*
Charlatan Class in DR 335 and a Charlatan feat in SaS for example.
Kind of an apples to oranges thing I know, but it still applies to an extent. Half Ogre is a template that is applied to something with one parent ogre. the Half Ogre race breeds true at this point.

EDIT: Half ogre is in 313

The prerequsites are charisma 15 and 8 ranks at intimidate......
The benefit is that when you demoralize a foe he is no longer only shaken but he cowers instead and he is shaken normally in the next round.....

Sounds amazing. Is it remotly balanced or highly overpowered?

Any other options for massive intimidate?

Cas was given vestige status in either Dungeon or Dragon magazine.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Compared to what?For what it is worth I don't think it unbalanced,it finally makes Intimidate more useful.....
Other options would depend upon what are you willing to change on your build,for example zentarim fighter is a very nice option for Intimidators as is a leve lof barbarian for the Intimidating-Instantaneous Rage trick.....
See the fear handbook for more options....

I think that the Cas that you are refering to is Kas the Vampire Lutenant of Vecna which is a totally different Cas than the one in Heroes of Horror....
