Q32: I seem to recall an option to trade Ride for Tumble as a class skill. Does anybody know what I'm talking about and where I can find it?

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.

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.

Q33Where do you find the feat craft homunculus? I know the Artificer grants is as a bonus feat, but since I am using a warforged sub it exchange the Craft Humunculus for Tools of war

ECS page 32. It isn't a separate feat, but allows you to craft homunculi as though you had the craft construct feat.

Prereqs are Magic arms and Armor, and Wondrous Item. The feat is in the monster manual, in the back.

Q30: Anyone good at recovering lost threads want to try and find this one?

Optimized Initiative Compilation: Tools, Builds, and Theory
by LordofProcrastination

It is gone from 339, and I'm trying to crank out the highest initiative possible. I'd prefer to use spells and magic items instead of feats, as those are a lot more "expensive" (unless they can be gotten via Heroics).

Q34 Is there any way to make a ship or airship invisible, such as a spell or magic item?

The spell Invisibility should work... you'd just have to crank your caster level high enough. :P It can even be made permanent.

A34b You could treat the airship as a building and use the rules in the Stronghold Builder's Guidebook for upgrading stronghold spaces, there are quite a few upgrades there, invisibility included.

If the ship crashes into something, does the invisibility break?

Make it out of iron or stone created with "wall of stone" or "wall of iron" with the invisible spell metamagic attached.

Is there an instantaneous wall of wood spell?

No, but there is Transmute metal to wood.

q35 I remember reading posts about metamagicked rays of enfeeblement (twin split repeating etc) as being an amazing tool in a fight, on many occasions I've seen this mentioned. However, I was under the impression that Penalties only stack if from different sources(IE not the same spell) is there a different interpretation of that rule by custserv or the sage or something? If not how does that work(or does it?)

sorry for the not so simple question!

Q36 I've seen people reference Kung Fu Genius feat as a way to mesh monk and wizard better by swapping some Monk abilities to work on Int. http://timjoh.com/dnd/ lists it as in Dragon 319. Is there anyplace where I could get that? Or at least find out the specifics of the feat?

Thanks
