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.
+10, +8, +18, +4, +6, +12

Durable buggers for being archers.
I'm hoping you mean +2 CHA, not 12.

He does, you work out npc stats by taking 10 off even and 11 off odd.

Q 293 If an Arrow Demon with rapid shot uses boots of speed, gaining the haste spell, do both sets of attacks get an additional attack?

Q 294 I checked the errata, but there doesn't seem to be an update on the Arrow Demon, so I need to double check this. It shows that the demon has an attack of 14/14/9/9 thanks to its special ability of being able to shoot two bows at once with its four arms. That's great and all, but where's its full attack with rapid shot? Shouldn't that make it 12/12/12/12/7/7?

Q295:

What spells/items are there that negate or prevent the Dazed condition?

Favor of the Martyr is a Paladin Spell that negates the Dazed condition, but I can't remember much else.

A 294

I think the full attack with Rapid shot isn't listed because it's not part of a regular attack routine, just a combat option (even though it'd be stupid not to use it every time).
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

294: Yes.

293: because of the way their "shoot both at once" abilityis worded, I would say yes, though by strictest raw, possibly no.

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

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
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,

http://www.atomicsockmonkey.com/freebies/di/pdq-core.pdf  The smallest, shortest, simplest ruleset of any RPG I've ever seen.  If 3.5 is too complex and you don't like 4.0, try this.  It has very few rules and is just short of freeform.

Was mainly hoping for a WIS boost to abuse with the Battlesmith's WIS to Hammer Damage.

If you can find a way, the Pathfinder dwarf gets +2 WIS.

Q298: Magic Jar (PHB wiz5) says:

"In a group of life forces,
you can sense a difference of 4 or more Hit
Dice between one creature and another
and can determine whether a life force is
powered by positive or negative energy."

What does that mean exactly? The phb example is pretty obvious but what happens if (for example) 2 level 10 adventurers face a 12HD giant and 2 7HD ogres?


Also, can you cast spells in a possessed body?

Assuming that body has matterial components and maybe the proper divine focus, the ability to speak verbal and exicute somantic components, yes.
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.

You'd sense that there are five creatures, all powered by positive energy. One of them has four more HD than two of them, but is withing four HD of the other two, and the latter two are within four HD of the former two.
And as Vinom said, so long as the possessed body would be capable of casting spells and has any necessary material components on had, you can cast spells just fine.
