Q192:  With the exception of Superior Invisibility, are there any other spells or items that hide you from Blindsight, Blindsense, Scent, etc.?  (Darkstalker feat is not an option sadly.)
Spell Compendium has a 1st level Archivist/Wiz/Sorc/Ranger/Druid/Bard Remove Scent spell.

Q 190: Is there anyway to overcome a poison immunity?
Use a Ravage (BoED)
Is there anyway to turn one's poisonous bite into a Ravage?
Yes and no. You can't turn it into a Ravage per se, but you can take the Touch of Golden Ice feat, which makes all your natural attacks inflict a specific Ravage (Golden Ice, as the name implies).
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

Correct. I've looked, just to justify getting to turn into a Fleshraker and use Venomfire without losing exalted status for a character in another game.

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...

Very good, luckily nothing evil is imune to Ravages
A player once asked me if there was any way to make a Tarrasque more evil... 3 sessions later he was stoned with D20s as the PC led an exidus out of the path of a Dire Tarrasque of Legendary Wonder.

Q193: Other than Shield and Mage Armour, what are some +AC abjuration spells lower than 6th level? (A link or a list would be nice.)
Witty sayings? Nah, not right now. Currently playing Dwarf Fortress and League of Legends. I really recommend League of Legends.

Actually mage armor isn't one... Conjuration.

If I remember correctly there was one from BoED...

Luminous Armor and Greater Luminous Armor. At level 2 and level 4, respectively, they give a big armor bonus to AC and impose a penalty to attack rolls against you, and last for 1 hour/level. At the end of the duration, you take a small amount of Str damage.

Q194: Theoretical question regarding Shadow Illusion - sorry if this isn't simple
As we all know, the Shadowcraft Mage typically uses Silent Image to replicate spells. Silent Image has an SR entry of NO. Shadow Illusion, however, states the figments work similar to Shadow Evocation/Conjuration which have SR: Yes.

Does an SCM using Shadow Illusion need to roll for SR using Silent Image to mimic a spell which also has SR: No?

Q 195 When I read "Level adjustment: +2(cohort)" what is that for? Does that mean that you can only have it if you have the Leadership skill, and it counts as an 8th level character? Or is it letting me know that it could be a cohort?

Q 196 The Thorn, in MMIII, has a thorn longsword and longbow at 1d6 instead of the usual 1d8. Is this a typo that was missed during the errata?

A 195

Supposedly, it means you can only take it as a cohort, not play it as a regular PC, but that's pretty dumb, since a cohort is essentially a second PC.

Q 196 The Thorn, in MMIII, has a thorn longsword and longbow at 1d6 instead of the usual 1d8. Is this a typo that was missed during the errata?
A 196

It's not a typo. Thorns are Small, so they use Small weapons.

That is rather stupid not to allow that. I guess it'll have to house ruled.

Hmm, didn't notice that they were small size.

Q197: What is the BAB and saves for a Dragonfire Adept 16//LA1/Sorcerer6/War Weaver 5/Abjurant Champion 4?

BAB, if you follow the class tables, goes up by 1 every two levels. Accept that Dragonfire Adept and Sorcerer/War Weaver are staggered, so that odd levels other than 1 (where I wouldn't gain BAB) are coincided with even levels (where I would) on the other side, in all cases. Does this result in a BAB of 15?

Similarly, I gain +2 Fort/Will at first level. At second level, I gain +1 will from DfA, and +2 will again from Sorcerer. Does this mean that as a 2nd level character I have +3 Fort/+0 Ref/ +4 Will?

Yes, that's right. They get SR against it. They also get a Will save to partially resist it, of course, even if it doesn't normally allow one. And if it does normally allow one, they get that too.

Q198:

How can a medium sized human become Colossal sized?

I've been given a few restrictions. No Psionics, no Wildshaping into Colossal and no Polymorph/Shapechange/Giant Size Wu Jen spell.

Are there any items etc that will help?
