Q206If a creature more than 10' tall falls prone, does this provoke an attack of opportunity from those who were standing adjacent to where the top half landed?  The creature didn't technically 'move', yet its body simultaneously passed through more than one threatened square of its enemies, especially when considering all three dimensions.

D&D tends to abstract these things - easiest way is to say it fell prone in its own space, which in turn means it didn't "move" through threatened squares. Large critters, specifically, tend to be divided between tall and wide (or not at all). I assume a tall type MIGHT trigger AoOs, but I can't find relevant rules text on this. Rules Compendium fails me in that regard.
Gendou Ikari is basically Gregory House in Kaminashades. This is FACT.

Q207 Other than Warlocks and Dragonfire Adepts, are there any base classes that use spell-like abilities as a major class feature?
So you end up stuck in an endless loop, unable to act, forever.

In retrospect, much like Keanu Reeves.

Do paradyme classes count?
A player once asked me if there was any way to make a Tarrasque more evil... 3 sessions later he was stoned with D20s as the PC led an exidus out of the path of a Dire Tarrasque of Legendary Wonder.

I don't know what those are, so I'm guessing no. Paragon classes? I so, then not really, since I'm already thinking of using a Primordial Half-ogre.

A208. They are unusual in that you prepare them ahead of time, they require somatic, verbal, and material components and cannot contain xp components. And you can apply metamagic to them.

Q209: Does the Beholder PrC from Dragon Magazine consider you a full beholder at the end of it's progression (i.e. Beholder Apotheosis)?  It fuses your eyes into one central one (important!), and changes your type, I know that much.

A205From the SRD:
Attack

Making an attack is a standard action.

but isnt charge a type of attack? couldnt i interpret that to be part of an attack action with a katana, a charge attack action?

psionic lions charge
: "...When you charge, you can make a full attack in the same round. You can manifest this power with an instant thought, quickly enough to gain the benefit of the power as you charge. Manifesting the power is a swift action...."

Is there an erudite handbook anywhere, or basically anything that would help someone build an erudite properly?

No, it's a type of move action that includes an attack:

Again from the SRD:
[spoiler]Charge

Charging is a special full-round action that allows you to move up to twice your speed and attack during the action

Player's Handbook 3.5> page 154> special attacks> table 8-7.

It IS an attack, a special full round attack.  would that mean i could theoretically use psionic lions charge with strike with no thought?

A210 : Well, if you're allowing Mongoose, yes.  Quintessential Wizard's Arcane Avatar can shut off the flow of magic with their capstone ability.  Sadly, it also utterly fucks them, and IHS can dispose of it.

This is as close as it gets to official (MoF p9f):

Quote
While no temporary repair of a dead magic area is known, a wish or miracle spell permanently repairs the Weave within 30 feet of its point of origin (which must be outside the dead magic area, of course). A character with the Tenacious Magic feat must first make a caster level check (DC 14) to repair a wild magic area, whether temporarily or permanently. Multiple spells must be used to repair larger areas. Theoretically, wish and miracle spells could be used to create a dead magic area, but none have come forward with evidence that this is so.

Just curious, any particular reason you need to be large?  A half-giant (XPH) or Eneko (Secrets of Sarlona) would get you the giant type, and powerful build, all for a mere +1 LA and no racial HD.

Q 211: Just making sure, but a Rogue who successfully sneak attacks a troll with a +1 flaming arrow only does 1d6 fire damage, right?

Q212Paladin gains a domain. Are the spells added to his list? He gets the domain power obviously but he doesn't have domain slots...

Manifesting Psionic Lion's Charge is a swift action, which is NOT an attack with a katana, and thus you are explicitly forbidden from taking it. It's got nothing to do with what kind of action a charge is.

EDIT: And consider the classes question irrelevant, you're right about taking Half-Giant. I was just focused on trying do something weird with a Half-Ogre, but it didn't really work. Ended up creating a Fochlucan Warlock, which as you can imagine, is a bitch to qualify for and not optimized at all.

Here's the quote again in all its hideous beauty:

Quote
If a noncleric enters a prestige class that allows access to a domain, the character still gains access to the domain. She can use the granted power bestowed by the domain normally.



If she is a spellcaster who keeps a spellbook as a wizard does, then she must find or purchase a scroll of that spell and pay the usual price to scribe the spell into her spellbook. In cases where the spell is only divine the wizard may scribe a divine scroll into his book. The wizard then may memorize one domain spell of each level each day.

If the noncleric is a spontaneous caster like a sorcerer or favored soul, then she may select a domain spell to add to her spells known whenever she would have an option to choose a new known spell. A sorcerer does not get to exceed his normal limit of spells known. Once the domain spell is known, the sorcerer may cast it freely.

Unless the prestige class specifies otherwise, such spells are considered arcane spells when cast by arcane spellcasters.
