Doesn't +1 spellcasting class advance EB?  In that case, Unseen Seer.

A 359b But Unseen Seer requires you to be able to cast 2 divination spells. I don't know of any Rogue/Warlock PrC off-hand.

A 357b There's indeed Precise in the MIC (+1). There's a rod in CM that gives you Precise Shot for ranged attack spells.

I looked at that property. It gives you the benefits of Precise Shot, but doesn't actually say it gives you Precise Shot. Therefore, using it for things that require you to have Precise Shot such as Splitting is a grey area, isn't it?

Sunic may be more abrasive than sandpaper coated in chainsaws (not that its a bad thing, he really does know what he's talking about), but just posting in this thread without warning and telling him he's an asshole which, if you knew his past experiences on WotC and Paizo is flat-out uncalled for. Never mind the insults (which are clearly 4Chan-level childish). You say people like Sunic are the bane of the internet? Try looking at your own post and telling me you are better than him.

Q 360: Does Extra Turning grant extra turning to *each* class that grants turning? For example: Would Cleric X/Dread Necromancer Y with a extra turning can have 4 more turning and rebuke attempts, or just add 4 to the whole thing?

Q361
Is there any way to convert one spell into another as it is cast? Failing that, is there a way for a spontaneous caster to link two spells, similar to Link Power?

A 361 Not sure what you mean with your first question. For the second, the Arcane Fusion (CM) or Spell Matrix (SC) lines are the closest I can think of.

Oh, I've got some half-baked idea for getting a Warlock Nosomatic Chirurgeon to go through Rainbow Servant, but I'm trying to think of some way to get the Warlock to be able to USE the Cleric spells they suddenly know all of. Which, unfortunately, means Arcane Fusion and Spell Matrix don't work.

I see potential for argument that these spells known are invocations known (unlike extra domains for non-clerics; the spells count as known. A Sorcerer/Rainbow Servant would have a humongous repertoire of cleric spells to choose from at each casting) They are not invocations though, so maybe not. (This may not be the place for discussing this though...)

Q362: Does the Factotum class feature Arcane Dilettante mean that you can prepare spells in addition to spending an inspiration point to gain a spell as an SLA as a standard action, or must you spend to inspiration points at the time you prepare the spells, or do you prepare the spells, and it costs an inspiration point to use them at the time of casting?

Q363: I'm still fuzzy on ToB maneuvers, and prerequisites and initiator level.

Thicket of Blades' prereq is: one devoted spirit maneuver. But it's also a level 3 crusader stance. So is there an additional prereq of "crusader initiator level 5"?

So, a Crusader 4 / Warblade 2 would qualify for thicket of blades, but would a Warblade 4 / Crusader 2 be able to take it? Could he take martial stance for it?

He couldn't take it as his Crusader 2nd level stance. I don't remember the wording of Martial Stance so I can't help you there.

Q364: Is there a rule somewhere about knowing if a target can see you or not?  As in, you're hiding, and you can see an enemy a distance away from you, and he sees you.  Would you know this?  Or was this just a common sense ruling?

A364: I've always seen that as a function of Sense Motive, lumped under the 'Hunch' section.  I haven't seen that explicitly stated anywhere though.

A363: You don't need levels in crusader to take Thicket of Blades.  You could be an insane fighter who took Martial Study (a devoted spirit maneuver), Martial Stance (Iron Guard's Glare, since you need a 1st level stance before you can take a 3rd level one), and then Martial Stance (Thicket of Blades) at 10th level (IL 5 in all martial adept classes for a non-"martial" class like a fighter). 

In your example, the Warblade 4/Crusader 2 couldn't take it, because he'd have an IL of 4 as a crusader (and an IL of 5 as a warblade) when he got his 2nd stance as a crusader.  But a warblade 6/crusader 2 (IL 5 crusader, IL 7 warblade) could take Thicket of Blades, and actually would get it at the same level as a straight crusader would.

Q365: Is there any thread you can point me to, anywhere really, to optimize Natural attack base damage besides Warshaper 1 and improved natural attack or size increases? I do not want higher monk 'unarmed' damage as this does nothing for a claw,gore,tentacle,slam, etc attack. It may be strange but it will really help. I already looked through the surreal dex and a bunch of monk unarmed damage whoring threads but they didn't help.

Q366  Does the Deflect Arrows Feat automatically deflect if the projectile is noticed?  I did not notice a save or other check for success in the feat.
