Q305: is there any other spell, item or class feature that does what Time Hop does?
No because it's just that awesome.  :D
Man no wonder why psionics isn't included with most DMs...
Bah. Let's not start that stupid old argument here, please. What is this, flame-bait?

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.

Anticipate Teleport can achieve a similar effect, assuming there's a way to get the other player 'porting.

Simple question number 303:

What is the easiest way to get a flying undead mount?

The two suggestions so far have been for animating a dragon or nightmare. I'm not digging that clumsy fly maneuverability from zombie though. Any other suggestions?

That host with their banners at sunset were seen:
Like the leaves of the forest when Autumn hath blown,
That host on the morrow lay withered and strown.

Cast the Fly spell on an undead creature 1 size category larger than you. Use it like the Goblin that rides the Ogre concept.

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time.  I give you much fu.
Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie.

Q307: I'm looking for a weapon that can cover a variety of needs and hoping someone has the source for me.  Any Official WotC product, but not Dragon magazine.

 1) Text mentions specifically that it is usable to make trip attacks. 2) Counts as an Exotic Weapon and the hardest part, 3) Has some kind of text that offers me the Bastard Sword advantage of not having to take Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat.

Racial weapons can be included but in this particular case I am a half-orc so that would be most helpful.

Dude, SKELETON

If the base creature flew magically, so can the skeleton.

Nightmares fly magically with 90 ft (good).  That should be enough.

With the disadvantage of having a duration of "performance", but that's easily fixed.

Q308 - Anything a Duskblade can do that would make his Wrath Domain 1st level Spell Rhino's Rush (from Arcane Disciple or something like that) usable once a day into a use as many times as you want spell?

Extra spell wouldn't work I think... any other options? As i'm the DM I could rule it does work, but im unlikely to do that because it'd be showing favours to one player over another but I said i'd look into it so... any ideas BG?

Thanks, final question for today : p

Q309 - I'm about to make my DM cry by turning my kobold with divine might and a wu jen scroll of collosal sizing-ness into a Pseudonatural Troll from the ELH. Is there anything potential more crazy than five rends from a collossal Psuedonatural Troll per round at about +80 to hit with 80 or so strength?

The DM will naturally never let me do it again, but it's a running game for me to make his jaw drop more each session =p

How are you turning him into a pseudonatural troll?  Most methods restrict template acquisition...

As The Mad Linguist said, by RAW you can shapechange into the base creature, but not, ordinarily, a templated creature.

Quote from: SRD
The new form may be of the same type as the subject or any of the following types: aberration, animal, dragon, fey, giant, humanoid, magical beast, monstrous humanoid, ooze, plant, or vermin.

Quote from: SRD

Now, if your DM lets you include templates.... can I play in your campaign?   :flutter

I'll see if my DM notices, there hasn't been any issues with what we turned into so far but I can't remember if anything was templated.

If it's not allowed, I need a backup plan. What has a ridiculous amount of strength and 34HD or less?

Storm Giant has FoM and 39 STR; most prefer multiple attack forms like Ropers and Cryohydras, but if STR is what you're after, Storm Giant's a pretty solid contender.

Multiattack is fine too = ) Don't want to take up too much space in this thread though. Thanks for the help guys.
