Q239: What exactly are the requirements you need to meet to enter a PRC with a Domain requirement. Does this ACF from Complete Champion let you qualify:

Quote from: Complete Champion, Page 52
Domain Granted Power
So great are the extent of your study and the depth of your faith that you can call upon the power of one of your deity's domains.
Level: 5th, 10th, 15th, or 20th.
Replaces: This benefit replaces the bonus feat gained by a wizard at 5th, 10th, 15th, or 20th level.
Benefit:Special: If you take levels in a class that grants you a domain choice (such as cleric), you gain the full benefits of the domain in addition to the other domains available to you from that class.

If not that, then would Planar Touchstone: Catalogues of Enlightenment let you qualify? Im trying to figure out how to get an Archivist||Wizard getstalt into Dweomerkeeper and hoping I can do it via feats instead of with Prestige classes (such as contemplative or divine disciple).

Touchstone would, I know for sure, but that's considered a little cheesy. But hey, this is CharOp: Cheese is our bread and butter. ...Wait.

Q 241 This is a revision of a question I previously asked. I didn't quite get the answer I was looking for, so if I word it differently, I'm hoping to get a very different answer (especially since the answer I got was based on psions and 9th lvl wizards only). Is there a way for a low level human beguiler, bard, or illusionist (7th level), without the use of shadow magic, to affect blind people with their illusions in combat?

Q 242 Besides the Energy Substitution metamagic feat, is there a feat that mimics Snowcasting for spells to gain electricity, fire, water, and/or acid subtype?

A 241: Not all Illusions are visual. Major Image, for instance, includes sound, smell, and thermal effects. Senses that specifically don't rely on sight.

So does this mean that technically, for thematic purposes, a character could technically make the image so real, that the blind person could visualize the image inside their head?

q237  Is there any prestige class that advances Dragonfire Adept "spellcasting" which can be entered with only 2 DFA levels and no warlock levels (Will have several levels in some melee classes).

q238 What can i do to protect a mundane piece of equipment (object) from acid damage?  Riding a mount with Acidic armor, and would like to keep my saddle intact.


Seriously guys, is there no simple way of making an object resist acid?
Eh, the wizard have more money than them combined, he could in theory just use all his money on a fleet of trained attack mules, but then we aren't playing 3.5 but zergling rushing in Starcraft instead.

Well, not permanently immune.  There's some antacid stuff from dungeonscape, you could increase the hardness via various spells, or suck up the cost, make it magic, and stick everbright onto it.

A238 Give the mount a durable (dungeonscape) barding; agree with the DM that saddle and barding are one piece of equipment. Note that durable only applies to metal armor.

Yeah, the armor is the reason  need acid resistant barding anyway.

It occurs to me that hardness 8 prevents any damage from Acidic armor, right?

So, hardness infusion at level 12 brings the hardness of leather up to 8. 720 gp.

Q 243 Anyone know where I might have seen the stats on the broadsword? It was 2d4, and I think it cost 18 gold. I can't remember what d20 book I read that had it listed. I think it had a crit of 19-20/x2 as well.

Found it. It's actually 35 gold (which is significantly higher than a longsword). It's 2d4, 19-20/x2 crit, 5 lbs, and gives a +4 circumstance bonus against disarm checks. It's from the Ultimate Equipment Guide Vol 1.

Q 244: Can anyone think of a way to treat natural attacks or unarmed strikes as two-handed weapons for the purposes of power attack?

Arms and Equipment Guide said to treat it the same as a longsword, back in the 3.0 days, because functionally they "behaved" the same way.

And those stats make not a damned bit of sense, mechanically, much less in context with the other weapon stats already out there.

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

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,

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.

Alternatively, make it from Green/Black/Copper dragon hide.  Draconomicon states that items made from dragonhide have the same enermy immunities as their parent dragon.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

I know it does, but I thought that was kind of off. It's like when it says a claymore is a greatsword and a bastard sword, and then made it 1d12. WotC says one thing, and does another all of the time. There is no continuity with them.

It is if you played AD&D where it was 1-8 damage for a long sword, and 2-8 damage for a broad sword. All the book did was bring back the 2nd Ed weapon. Much like other books have brought back 1st and 2nd Ed monsters.

That's 3rd party though, right?
Yes. It's still a weapon that used to be in the old D&D books.

Yes. It's still a weapon that used to be in the old D&D books.

Wasn't it 2d4 for a bastard sword in second edition?
Also IIRC the Longsword was better against large opponents, dealing d12 damage where the bastard sword dealt only 1d10. And the greatsword dealt 2d6/3d6.

Very confusing but so very rewarding when you slice up two gnolls as a level 1 halfling, who has his highest stat as a 13 in dex.
Monks are pretty much the best designed class ever.
