I wasn't sure if that was the case or not, since it indicates you can draw "a weapon" as part of a move action, but if you have TWF'ing, then you can draw 2 weapons.  Seemed like a specific limitation.
Ask your DM if a marilith could draw all of her weapons as part of a move action. If he says "Yes, of course." Then say "Great. Then I guess my hydra can, also." :D
But a Marilith has Multi-Weapon Fighting.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

Yeah, but that's just going to help her fight with them all.

No, that's not all it's going to do.

Quote
If you have a base attack bonus of +1 or higher, you may draw a weapon as a free action combined with a regular move. If you have the Two-Weapon Fighting feat, you can draw two light or one-handed weapons in the time it would normally take you to draw one.

Multiweapon Fighting
...
Special

This feat replaces the Two-Weapon Fighting feat for creatures with more than two arms.

Multiweapon fighting is the reason a marilith can draw all of its weapons as part of a move action.  They don't get to do it "just because."

Given this, prolly the crystals will not work either...

The crystal you listed would work.  You get several free actions a round.

Q 231 I'm looking for some Wizard spells that gear more towards benefiting an armored melee component.  Such as the cleric's Magic Vestment and Divine Power.  For these specifically, I've thought of taking the Arcane Disciple feat, but then I would need to bump my Wisdom up.  I could also try to research arcane versions of these, but was curious if there are other options that I'm missing.

The two main things I'm looking for are enhancing worn armor and increasing attack bonus (BAB at caster level just sounds so nice)

For background, the character concept I'm thinking of is a Fighter 1/Wizard 4/Runesmith 5

Bump

There are several combat enhancing wizard spells:
Shield is nice if you are using a 2 handed weapon or 2 weapons
Tenzer's Transformation
Body of war from spell compendium

The latter two stop you from casting spells but you can buff up beforehand anyway.

For a build I would probably only take one level of runesmith,  Fighter 1/Wizard 4/Runesmith 1/Abjurant Champion 4 probably being better (BAB +7 rather than 5)

Q233: Why can you key Absorption to an Energy Transformation Field? Is not the spell target: You and Range: Personal?

Thanks.  I had balked at those, but I guess buffing beforehand would offset not being able to cast for a few rounds.  If the spell doesn't specifically have a "D" next to the duration, then it is not dismissible, correct?

Unfortunately, Abjurant Champion requires a BAB of +5 to go into it.  I wouldn't even get that until Fighter 1/Wizard 4/Runesmith 4.  So I'll take the Abj Champion at that point.

No idea how i managed to miss BAB +5... i use Abjurant champion a lot too...

Again though only take runesmith 1 and a better PRC for the remaining levels.

Q234: So the base classes pdf got taken down on crystalkeep for some reason or another and im looking for a monk variant. Searched on google without much luck, so was curious if anyone here knows the source/info on the martial monk variant? Or if anyone happens to have the pdf in question backed up and willing to upload it for me? :)

Wow. And it's still wrong too. *points at Mystic Ranger spell progression and lack of Reflex save*

Q235 I seem to remember reading something on the forums where you could start with an extra (vile?) feat at lv1 if you worshiped something evil... or something. God, that's horribly vague. Hopefully someone realises what I'm talking about. =P

I'm not 100% sure about that, but I was just shown the vile feated human in Book of Vile Darkness.

Hmm... that may be it, but I seem to remember the option being better then not taking it, that race is basically a human that you're roped into playing evil, the normal bonus feat is replaced by the vile feat for that race... no I don't think it's that. Thanks anyways.

Something about worshiping an elder evil?
