Only if you ready or course.
Nope. Immediate actions don't need the ready action to activate. It just happens.
Didn't realize that ability was an immediate action.

That said, 3.5e doesn't have timing & resolution rules, so exactly how it plays out when said Conjurer is facing down a charger will mostly be determined by the DM.

That is what makes it borderline broken and by far the best ability of any of the specialist sub levels in that book, IIRC.

Best be sure to have a good INT of course.

Bump (I got the 114 first by a few seconds so no one say I put the wrong number in)

Q 114 Anyone know what Dragon magazine it was that had a variant shadow half-dragon in it? It did 2 negative levels, and had wings even at medium size. I think it was a 3.0 template. Can't remember.

And because I need to know the answer to this as well.
Q116:If I have a barbarian/Frenzied Berseker with the Pounce Alternative feature,Do I get to add the bonus from leap attack to my Secondary attacks? Or it is only added to the First attack?

A114: The Half-Dragon template in 3.5 has a Shadow dragon type. It is in Races of the Dragon, I believe. So, it has been superceded.

A116: Leap Attack is triggered off Power Attack, IIRC. That means it applies to ALL attacks on the Pounce, just like Power Attack.

Yeah, but it sucks. If you make a Fort save, you take nothing. At least with the other half dragons you'll take half of something.

For sure, for sure? Got a player waiting to know 100% that this is how it works with his attack.

Q110:  How does Temporal Acceleration and Linked Power interact?  If I manifest several powers with another linked one in the last round of Temporal Acceleration, do they go off as soon as I come back to the regular time stream or do they wait until the next round after I manifested Temporal Acceleration?

Bump please :)

Q123: Does Kelpstrand work in an AMF?  My first inclination is no, but I'd love to be wrong.

Q117: Not sure if I should ask this here, but does anyone have the old "What is Mialee looking at?" thread archived? Or any of the threads about Ted the 'Flayer?
The many things Mialee could be looking at in the Complete Arcane!

Yes it does.

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.

Here's a fun fact: You aren't. By a few leagues.

It's Conjuration (Creation), but not Instantaneous, so no, it does not.  It must be an Instantaneous Conjuration spell to work in an AMF.

I don't think that's a simple question.  :lmao I think it would be the next round after you manifested Temporal Acceleration. If you used it on the next to the last round of Temporal Acceleration, it would go off on the last round during the Temporal Acceleration, though. IMO.

Q126: Are individual rats, bats, or spiders created by a Summon Swarm spell valid targets, or must one target the swarm as a whole?

Swarms in general are immune to single target spells.  

Houserule/Suggestion!
CAN you still dominate a single rat and keep it around after the swarm is killed?  As a DM, I would allow it, but removing a single creature from the swarm would have no effect on the swarm itself

With liberal interpretation, one could argue that a conjuration that makes non-magical matter results in matter unaffected by an AMF. That's pretty liberal, though.
