A389: Also, for a character that does not dump Int, Wizard with Instant Conjuration ACF, or for a more combat-oriented folk, Duskblade.

Q390: Where is that pic of a smiley vomiting eye rolling smileys? This is related to optimization because it was originally used by someone on 339. Specifically, in that Warmages blow goats for pocket change thread.

Sunic may be more abrasive than sandpaper coated in chainsaws (not that its a bad thing, he really does know what he's talking about), but just posting in this thread without warning and telling him he's an asshole which, if you knew his past experiences on WotC and Paizo is flat-out uncalled for. Never mind the insults (which are clearly 4Chan-level childish). You say people like Sunic are the bane of the internet? Try looking at your own post and telling me you are better than him.

A 389 d: ...and Duskblades as well. There are a few PrCs that have all knowledge skills. Check the prestige class files from crystal keep and do a search for "know (all)"

A 391 Symbol of Sleep (PHB), Sleep Mote (Sandstorm), Hiss of Sleep (SC) which all kinda suck.
And I think there's a spell named Eternal Slumber somewhere else - perhaps an Eberron book.

Q 392: With the Taint rules from Heroes of Horror, it says that Remove Curse can remove one point of depravity.  However, it also says that Restoration (or Heal or Greater Rest) is required within 24 hours of crossing the line into mild taint to return to no taint.  If someone just gained a single point of taint, and it is all the taint they have, will Remove Curse do anything to help them with regards to the taint?

A: 390 The picture: http://homepage.mac.com/durf/pix/rollbarf.gif, and in case you're interested, the thread in question: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=963854.

A: 391 (more) I just stumbled over Melf's Slumber Arrows (complete mage), which could be used by a gish wanting to use a bow (given that he didn't ban enchantment), but not for anything else.

Q393: How does the bonus on damage rolls from Knowledge Devotion interact with spells like Magic Missile, or Scorching Ray? As far as I can see it works on all damage rolls (RAW), but that might make some spells a little bit too powerful...

No, only the base forms are valid choices for polymorph. This should have been covered somewhere in the FAQ.

Q398: The wording of the spell "Vulnerability" (SpC) is confusing.
- The text says that DR is reduced another 5 points for every 4 CL after 9th. In the following sentence, they say -10 at level 15 and - 15 at level 20... contradiction somewhere?
- What happens if the target has more than one kind of damage reduction, for example, a werecreature under the effect of a Protection from Arrows spell?

Q399: Where is the spell 'Scry Trap'? I think that's the name, it blocks scrying attempts and does damage to anyone that tries.

A399: Not sure about the spell, but there is a psionic power (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/remoteViewTrap.htm) that is quite similar.
