Eldritch Corruption also allows you to use, IIRC, Heighten, Extend and Enlarge three times per day in any combination. Strictly superior to the Sudden Metamagic feats if you're an evil outsider or undead (or just don't plain care about corruption).
Gendou Ikari is basically Gregory House in Kaminashades. This is FACT.

Q82

What is the cheapest item or ability that gives you even just one use of Telekinesis?

Beholder Crown in the MiC is the cheapest I've found at 20,000gp (but I'm not sure it will work to qualify for Master of the Unseen Hand)

Or custom ring of Telekinesis 5/day which is [9x5x1800]/5 = 16,200gp

Oh!

Thanks but that would be LA +5 yes? Probably too much.

I think I'll post a thread and see what people come up with

Well, with the savage progression, you can stop at 2 LA, and get Telekinesis at will (1d4 round recharge).

Q83: in the ring of counterspells, greater, in magic item compendium, it says: once per day as an immediate action, you can attempt to counter a single spell cast by a spellcaster you can see within 100 feet. Like the ring's other ability, this one requires no preparation or knowledge on your part. (no spellcast check either)"


Does this mean that it works even when flat footed, or does the immediate action pre-requisite trump the vague text part?

Q84

a) can a Chameleon use his "mimic class feature" ability to qualify as prerequisites?  -and-
b) can a Chameleon use his "bonus feat" to gain extra uses of his "mimic class feature" ability?

Here's an example:
could a chameleon use his "mimic" ability (which grants him, amongst other things, the ability to turn/rebuke undead) to qualify for the "extra turning" feat.  If so, would taking "extra turning" actually grant him 4 more uses of turn/rebuke undead per day?
This would, of course, also apply to "extra rage" and "extra smiting".  Additionally, this would extend to using said scenario to qualify for other PrCs.

Thanks.

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.

I don't see anything in there that contradicts the limitation of not being able to take immediate actions while flat-footed.

Somewhere in the class description it very clearly states that no abilities of the class, other than the bonus feat, can qualify you for anything.

#85 Heya, Is there any feats or classes that improve upon Animal Companions? i'm trying to make a build focused on the companion does most of the work in melee while the actual character just deals death from range.

aye, i know that prc. but that doesn't focus on the one solitary animal companion that i want. There's so many things to make Familiars more powerful and combat worthy but so little for the poor animal companions

The only thing I know of is the feat Natural Bond, which works like Practiced Spellcaster for the level of your animal companion. You can arguably use it to offset the penalty for having an animal companion that is powerful enough to give a penalty to effective Druid level. (For example, you can use it to remove the penalty for using a Fleshraker dinosaur)

There's the supermount: http://coboard.wikia.com/wiki/Supermount. But I'd recommend a simple druid who focuses on animal buffs.
