Q 131 Is there a feat, or rule, that best represents the extra damage one would normally deliver if they did a charging punch? Or is it just the Powerful Charge tree of feats that do that?

A 130  http://www.imarvintpa.com/dndlive/items.php?ID=4098 WildShape Amulet


Q 132 Racial bonuses don't stack, do they? For example, the racial bonus to grapple checks from the Abberation Blood feat (LoM) and the Deepspawn feat (also LoM).

A 131 There's pretty much everything a Hood does, also.

A132
looking at my sorc build?  ;)
I thought about that; but the thing is that the bonuses are coming from 2 different mechanisms. (though I could be wrong)



Now, my question to that is:
Q133
do those feats still in effect in polymorph?

[spoiler]
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.

No, i hadn't seen your build. I'm thinking of using those feats on a Totemist/Psywar Grappler who uses expansion to qualify for Fling Enemy (SS). Grapple everyone in the encounter, then throw them all 600' in the air the next round.

 A 133 the tentacles wouldn't be, but the reach might. I doubt it, though. It's a quality of your original form. Up to your DM, i guess.

oops.  never mind.  (just posted a build earlier that uses both those feats)
carry on. (btw .... that looks really cool)

There's the flying kick feat, from Complete Warrior.  It gives you +1d12 damage on unarmed attacks made as part of a charge.  I liked the Oriental Adventures version, which gave you double damage on unarmed attacks made as part of a charge.

Q122: Looking for that spell/power that crystallizes a memory and erupts it form the subjects head. What is this spell called? And where is it from?
I could swear it's a Psionic Power, but I can't find it either.
It's a psionic power in an out-of-the-way-you-wouldn't-expect-to-find-it-in-this-book book. Like a campaign setting supplemental book like Champions of Ruin or something silly like that. I recall it, but not the specific book it's in.
Hardly.  It's Crystalline Memories (Sorcerer/Wizard spell) from Complete Mage.

You are correct, of course. I was thinking of Nybor's Psychic Imprint (just for the record).

Q127 Does a spell-like ability (like that gained through Innate Spell or a level of Archmage) version of Silent Image and its cousins count for Shadowcraft Mage's Shadow Illusion ability?

A127:I was told no back on 339. I have no backup for this. I was told that, as an SLA rather than a spell, it does not count, I think it might have been by PhaedusXY, but don't quote me on that.

Q133: Using the aerial bombardment rules from Heroes of Battle, is the action of dropping an object on a square considered a free action (dropping an object) or a standard action (an attack)?

It's actually combat viable, too, since the component is actually a focus.

It takes 1 hour to cast though. How would you speed that up enough to make it combat viable?

Cast it ahead of time and hold the charge.  It's a Touch spell, so you can do that.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Make sure you don't release it too soon, though.
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on 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

There isn't a feat that'd cut that down some, would there? Reduce it from an hour to a minute, or something.
