Q22:  I read that Monstrous Spiders are often the best options of the Summon Monster lists, and the web seems cool, but otherwise they kind of suck.  Am I missing something?

A23:  Hmm... the Genius Loci comes to mind.  Sounds like you've got some fun times ahead of you!

Q24:  I'm playing this game where the gods answer our calls on a daily basis, and assist in the mortal realm in a real, measurable way.  Actions have consequences, and morality is both an absolute and definable.  And yet after I put away my dice, I find I feel empty inside.  I've lived three decades and never once felt anything I could call "divine."  Worse, I honestly don't know if I can call myself a good man.  I'm lost.  Am I doing this wrong?  Is there something I'm missing?

A25:  Probably just forgot.

Q23: I am looking for a creature to provide a general scene of being watched for the orgies I am having with all my characters in a few days. What do you recommend?
Q25:Did you know discussing religion online is a bad idea since, not only is everyone anonymous but every major war has been started as a result of religion,or a close facsimile thereof (want to help me worship power and money anyone?)
A26: God told me to!!
The god of thunder....... yeah I'm the hammer

Q 30: When a a Boss combat of CR 9 against a CR 7 team ends in 3 rounds, is it the "normal"? Kinda frustrating seeing it end too fast, maybe my PCs are too comboed or i'm not knowing how to use my Boss... Or maybe it's normal, so, what is it?

Alright, I'm taking this for serious, since it's an actual question (and seriously, we're probably going to have a lot of confusion since you guys decided to troll).
Q 30: When a a Boss combat of CR 9 against a CR 7 team ends in 3 rounds, is it the "normal"? Kinda frustrating seeing it end too fast, maybe my PCs are too comboed or i'm not knowing how to use my Boss... Or maybe it's normal, so, what is it?
Really, it depends wholly on how you have it set up. If you have a single relatively unoptimized big tough bruiser charge in against a reasonably optimized party (or even one with sound tactics), 3 rounds is generous. If your boss monster uses tactics, minions, battlefield control, and so on, such encounters can literally go for days. Frustrating players for a few in-game days (and multiple play sessions) can end with a marvelous sense of satisfaction when they finally curb-stomp him.

since Q&A 28 is already up and going, let's get the train rolling again:
A28/33/A42/A57: Levels of ghost, duh.  Can't believe nobody else has posted the obvious answer.
Q33
What's the best entry option for Master of the Unseen Hand?

Q42
My character just died.  I don't feel like rolling up a new character, and the rest of the party refuse to throw down for a resurrection.  What can I do?

Q57
How can I my character become incorporeal without having to rely on magic?

-------
A31
You could try looking in to the Manipulate Form special ability.

[spoiler]
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.

Q31 My DM is an unusually calm and peaceful individual. How can I make them angry enough to throw their DMG at me, and/or swallow their dice?  :p

A32: You'll need at least one level of Commoner and the Chicken-infested feat.
[spoiler]
A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.
...thanks

A33 The best way to do that is with a Warblade.

Thanks, Littha.

By clicking this link, you open a pop-up, but I get a eurocent for my current wish, the 5th book of the Wheel of Time series. Please note that this only works if you leave the pop-up opened till it has finished loading. Thank you!
