Q47:Where is this "Strength of True Form" spell. I have no record of it in all of DnD.

Q48: I know its a very well received house rule but is there any variant of ranger that gets an animal companion as a druid or atleast as close as possible?

A47: Dragon of Eberron in a random section. I mention it near the end of my 'Spells that Deserve more Attention thread' The gist of the spell is that you get to cherry pick the physical abilities of your base form and polymorphed form.

A48: What Kell said [[except that it's missing Share Spells]] is all I know.

Wow immediate action cast. I wonder why its not in the mango index?

Sorry about the animal companion stuff, but I'm not sure if its worth a thread...

There is the feat Wild Cohort, which combined with Natural Bond should be functionally the same (or at least damn close, level-wise).
Thanks for the try. Unfortunately I need an animal companion from ranger level, but one that is better than standard. Unless there is a way to turn a wild cohort into an animal companion...

Q 50: As my dream omniblast doesn't seem to exist, what would such a spell sound like, levelwise?  Basic statistics would be 1d6/CL, Long range RTA, and SR/Save No since it would be [Fire].  Feel about level 6-ish tops?  I guess the other option is 3 levels of Spellwarp Sniper...

Q51 Is there any feat that gives you immunity to a single poison type, in a manner similar to Disease Immunity in Heroes of Horror?  I may have use for it in conjunction with fukimi-bari.

Q52
I search for a way to not be affected by an area-dispel. So far I found AMF, Mystic Shield (Anauroch Adventure), Ring of Counterspell, Ring of Spellbattle. Are there any ways I have overlooked?

I think there's one in BoVD, but I might be misremembering. I'm sure I saw one somewhere, though. Maybe it was homebrew.
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

That's the one!  And why I didn't go there first, I do not know.

the psionic power Concussion Blast is Level 2, medium range, 1d6 Force damage, subject to PR, No save, and can be augmented for an extra 1d6/2 power points and affect one extra target within 15 feet per 2 power points.  It's not a radius either, you just need each target to be within 15 feet of at least one other target.

I mean, depending on how high you can get your manifester level, is that the sort of what you were looking for?

Q54

Seeing as my search-fu apparently sucks, anyone mind providing a citation/explanation on why taking Martial Study (any maneuver), taking Martial Study again for a different maneuver with a one-maneuver req, and then retraining the first out works?

I believe it was in the FAQ (or possibly a Sage article), saying that a maneuver counts itself when figuring out if a character had prereqs fulfilled for said maneuver. Same deal with Stances. They count for pre-req purposes, and can self qualify if you retrain out the original qualifying maneuver.

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...

There aren't actually that many feats to help grappling. Mostly it is about size, strength, and magic items/powers. This is a good one for really big grappling monsters, though.

And Bowen's entry for the Tarrasque extermination force pulled out a lot of grappling tricks, if you can find it. Use the DMs CO-fu against him!  :lol

It's for a creature.  More specifically, a crab.  Yes, I have crabs, and they want to latch on to you and never let go.   :P

Ah, so no class levels at all?  Assuming you don't already have the constrict ability, Martial Study + Martial Stance so you can get Crushing Weight of the Mountain.  Savage Species has 1 or 2 decent grapple feats as I recall.

Savage species, yes. Lords of Madness has some aberrant feats with bonus to grapple, but I seem to recall that there's a race restriction.

Martial Study and the like has already been specifically ruled out. This is for summoned creatures. :P

When did he state that?  He never mentioned summoning...  If he's lookin g for feats to customize a summonable critter, why would some feats be OK and other not?  I guess he could cast Heroics a couple of times on the summoned critter to give it the stance.

It's for a Play by post game on these boards, the DM has specifically said that some feats are okay and some aren't.  I was just looking for general advice.
