Q48  Any neutral alignment friendly spontaneous divine full caster base classes besides druid? prc's?

[jojolagger]

heh heh. that's funny.

Q48  Any spontaneous divine casters besides druid?

A48:Druid isn't spontaneous.
The spontaneous Divine casters are:
INT: Mystic Ranger
WIS: Favored soul, Mystic, Spirit Shaman, Emissary of Barachiel, Kender Nightstalker
CHA:Nightstalker, Shugenja

EDIT: Not sure which are neutral Friendly. Spirit Shaman is fairly druidy, so it might work.

I'm honestly just feeding answers from this list. I Don't think I've even seen mystic ranger.

Q49 By RAW, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

The closest animal to a woodchuck with D&D stats is a rat (they're both in the rodentia order).  

Woodchucks are bigger than rats, but I don't think they're big enough to be out of the tiny size category.  A tiny creature can throw an item weighing op to 12.5 pounds as an improvised two-handed weapon.  A rat's maximum load is 15 pounds, so it doesn't get in the way.  

So, I am fairly confident that a woodchuck would chuck 12.5 pounds of wood per round if a woodchuck could chuck wood.  

Edit: A 12.5 pound piece of wood deals 1d8 damage (whether sharp or not).  Of course, the woodchuck probably has a -4 strength penalty to damage, so he'd only average 1.75 damage per hit.

If you can use it, evangelist (Dragon 311 p52) seems like a good spontaneous divine caster.

If you're not too picky about them being arcane, psion and ardent/psywar count.

Also, how about arcane swordsages?

Q52 Is it true that an Archivist can learn any spell that he can talk his DM into saying someone in town/temple has converted to a divine spell ? What classes can write arcane spells onto divine scrolls?

A52: True. Most "common" ways are Divine Bard, and Hex Eye, or something like that. A Gruumsh-based caster PrC from Masters of the Wild, who can cast any arcane spell as divine and thus scribe a scroll, IIRC.

Q52 Is it true that an Archivist can learn any spell that he can talk his DM into saying someone in town/temple has converted to a divine spell ? What classes can write arcane spells onto divine scrolls?

A42:  Not quite.  You have to prove that a divine version of the spell exists somewhere, and then you can research the spell (because you can always research a duplicate of any existing spell, and it takes 1 day to do it and a small amount of money).  However, there's a ton of ways to get almost every arcane spell onto a divine list somewhere, so you can usually do this.  Divine Bard gets you the entire Bard list.  Hexer is a PrC that gives any Wiz/Sor spell as a divine spell, or you can get that list via the Dragon Magic Favored Soul substitution, the Complete Champion domain substitution, and various domain lists.  The Beguiler list just happens to completely overlap anyway, and of course you get the Shugenja and Adept lists free.  There might be a few Wu Jen spells you can't have, though I know Giant Size is in the Heroism domain.  I know you can't get Greater Harm off the Dread Necromancer list, but that spell is terrible anyway (it's worse than Harm).  And you can't get those nice early Trapsmith spells, but you can get them all at higher levels off other lists.

Q53: Is there a template or way to change from undead type to a living type while keeping the template abilities?

Q53: Is there a template or way to change from undead type to a living type while keeping the template abilities?

Human Heritage (feat, Races of Destiny)
You have to be a half-human or human descended race. But changing type to humanoid (human) while keeping older traits is gold.

Q 54: I want to get the spell Spike Growth for my sorcerer. Who can it be done?
Notes
[spoiler]Level 6, Hopefully taking War Mage from Age of mortals at 6th level.
Wyrm Wizard can be pulled off with a feat and me costs 1 CL, but won't get me Spike Growth for at least 2 levels.
Recaster Still costs a feat and 1 CL, get's me Spike growth a level sooner, and has better abilities, but Changling would take some work to be allowed by a DM. The Adaption might not swing with the DM.
Arcane Disciple only works 1/day, and is pretty lame, so I'd use Wyrm wizard/Recaster over it. Domain access ACF has the same problem.
The DM has ruled Extra spell doesn't allow for off list spells.
If there is any way to cast Spike growth as an Arcane spell, this could easily be done with a Knowstone or a Drakehelm.
In any cast, getting the spell from the Ranger or Archivist list is better (only lvl 2), but the druid version can still work.
