Q 285 Where can I find the crafting information that you can do upwards of 1000 gold a day (or week, whichever it is) worth of work on an item, or 10,000 worth after taking the epic ability?
"crafting magic items" section .... DMG & ELH, respectively.
(note, does not apply to mundane crafting)
The DMG crafting of 1000 gold a day I found, but the ELH 10k I couldn't find. And would you say 100 gold a day for mundane?
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

Mundane, there is no limit beyond what your skill check can accomplish.  10k per day is from an Epic Feat (Efficient Item Creation).
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Q 287: Is there any clarification on whether one is permitted to fuel Divine Metamagic using turn/rebuke attempts granted by the elemental domains?

A287: Yes, there is clarification: you can't use it to fuel DMM. DMM requires Turn *Undead*.

Q288 (hope the number is correct):
can you use a limited wish while crafting a wand/staff to simulate another spell you usualy cant cast or dont have on your list/book yet?

example:
Hans, the wizard, wants to craft a wand of shield of faith using limited wish (as he doesnt have sof as spell himself)
ignoring the silliness of the example, as its just about the principle, does this work?

Nope.  You haven't prepared the spell and don't know it, you're just emulating it, and don't have a specific feature saying you can fake it for creating magic items.

The creator must have prepared the spell to be stored (or must know the spell, in the case of a sorcerer or bard) and must provide any focuses the spell requires.

I dunno, I'd allow it, but I'd make it cost what the item would cost using that spell. In which case, it's prohibitively expensive to emulate a first level spell ability using a 6th level one.

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.

It's probably pretty fitting to let the foolishness of doing that punish itself there (don't forget the XP cost!), but it's not the RAW.

I'd say it's not significantly different from using a scroll or wand, provided you pay the XP cost for casting limited wish each day.

RAW, I'd say it works since it's an "effect whose power level is in line with the above effects"

Q 289. Rod of Ropes question here. I dont have the book infront of me and was thinking about this... I know you can bull rush, I think disarm to.  But could you use the RoR to attack? Or Trip?  Say maybe make it flaming? Idk. I was thinking that it would be cool to have a character that uses the RoR for abunch of stuff. Know any other good tricks with it?

I THINK the RoR can also be used as a magic club, so it stands to reason you could use Flaming with it, but don't quote me on that.
Gendou Ikari is basically Gregory House in Kaminashades. This is FACT.

The Planar Shepherd build which utilizes a link to Irian (Elemental Plane of Positive Energy) in combination with Maximized Heal Spells to make people explode from too much Positive Energy. The name of the Build had Whitestar in it I believe.

Q 291 Can anyone tell me what the ability bonuses for an Arrow Demon from MMIII would be?

Their stats in the book are 21, 19, 29, 14, 16, 12. Have a player that wants to be one from the ground up. I'll figure out the Savage Species thing later.
