Quote from: weenog on June 03, 2010, 01:00:05 PMIck, no sort of trickery to get it earlier outside of TO stuff, huh? In that case...Q 195: What's the earliest way non-templated PHB race character can swallow opponents whole, with polymorph and related effects banned?Wizard/Sorcerer with Enlarge Person and Hoard Gullet (Dragon Magic)? On a medium race, that will let you swallow Tiny or smaller foes at level 1 (note: uses both 1st level spells known if a Sorcerer), although it won't harm them. Once you get access to Plymorph, of course, it doesn't much matter.@Phaedrus: how does Versatile Spellcaster do anything to help that?

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.
...thanks
the most effective optimization is the one you can actually get away with.
(A group of nerds are called a murder because like crows we are anti-social, like shiny things, and often squack at each other over nothing for hours)
I often have to remind people not to underrate divination. The ability to effectively metagame without actually metagaming beats the ability to set things on fire more times than not.
Q197:Can someone in detail please explain to me how the Versatile Spellcaster + Heighten Spell-trick works?You sack two level 1 spells for a lvl 2 spell, even though you're character level 1, by heightening it zero steps since you still can't cast 2nd level spells except you can for some reason and whatsit and how and *faints from lack of oxygen*My english is usually pretty damn good, but something has got to be lost in translation here.Preferably in small, easy steps.
Q 198: are there any playable (ie: low LA) elemental creatures?

You got that much right. Then, you apply Heighten Spell to a level 1 spell you already know to make it a level 2 spell and cast it in your level 2 spell slot. Congratulations, you are now capable of casting second-level spells.
Q154 I'm getting slightly confused with this: what's the CL on the Wizard and Nar Demonbinder on an Illumian Wizard7/Nar1/Ultimate Magus2 with +CL Sigil (+2)?

Q 202 In one of the dragon magazines there was a metal that was equivalent to adamantine, but came from space. It was like a star metal. It was basically the same as cold iron vs abyssal cold iron. Anyone know what it was called and where it was from?

When you use a tool the way it was designed for -- its intended function -- then it will work very well for you.But it's not the tool's fault if you use it for something else and you fail utterly, such as trying to eat cereal with a butterknife, pounding nails with a screwdriver, blogging to voice your political opinions, and brushing your teeth with a hammer.

It is called "starmetal". in addition to effectively being adamatine it deals 1d6 damage to any extraplanar creatures while your on the material plane.
Usually I see CA or CArc as Complete Arcane, and CV or CAdv as Complete Adventurer.

Q 203 Other than Amulet of Health, is there an item that gives you additional hit points (ie mimics Toughness or Improved Toughness, increase CON, grants temporary HP, grants permanent HP, etc) in some way, shape, or form?
