Q 98:  I know there's a list of Save or Sucks here, but is there a list of good/worthwhile buffs anywhere?  Specifically looking for things that are persistable, but just a general list of buffs by class list would be great.

Here, here and here.

Q98B: How about a list of persistable ARCANE spells?

Q96: What is the market price modifier on Kaorti Resin weapons?  I couldn't find it in the website description.

We only know about kaorti resin from extrapolation, there is nothing to say it can be applied to weapons other than the Ribbon Daggers that the Kaorti use.

That said a Ribbon Dagger is 50gp. Kaorti resin weapons are exotic you should also note.

Other than material (and *4 crit multiplier), is there any difference between a ribbon dagger and a regular dagger?

no, that is how we extrapolate what kaorti resin weapons are. There is no evidence of any other weapons being made of the stuff though and a ribbon dagger is noted as a specific weapon.

A 99: The Omnicaster is my take on the Psionic Trick the Shards of Leadership, using Improved Psicrystal to eventually nab every arcane and divine spell, ever, on a level 1 Erudite.  He can then access all those spells as he levels, or sooner with a little ML assistance (also very doable).

Q100

We have a nice list in Complete Champion of the alternate domains and which ones match with the PHB domains.  I am playing a Cleric of Hextor in one game and one of Herironeous in another. Both have domains in their lists that do not match and I am hoping anyone here can give me an idea on what would closely match them.  They are Courage, Nobility and Tyranny found here http://home.comcast.net/~ftm3/JHtB/domains.html.  Ty

Q101: How would it work if an Erudite with StP ACF got rainbow servant up to level 10? Would he be able to cast any spell from the cleric spell list, or would he have to learn them first?(Or is it just not possible?)

[Zebu]

Q102 Is there any NPC class that grants Prestidigitation as a class spell?  I'm making a circus using the Leadership feat, and if ever a spell was made for entertainers it's Prestidigitation.  But the only NPC caster I can find is Adept...

A 101

Not possible as written, since an Erudite doesn't cast arcane spells (the powers from StP are psionic versions of arcane spells, but not arcane spells themselves) and the PrC itself doesn't advance psionics. It's also very wonky what would happen if an Erudite were to get to the capstone despite everything, as it's undefined what they would be added to and what he could do with them (they're added to his spell list, but he doesn't have one to start with, and doesn't learn his powers from a spell list, but a power list). If all those kinks were worked out somehow, he would still need to learn them like any other power on his list, just like a Sorcerer/Rainbow Servant.

Q 103: (Apologies in advance if this is a bad question) When both are played to their full power, which is more powerful, a shadowcraft mage or a spell-to-power erudite?

Q 103: (Apologies in advance if this is a bad question) When both are played to their full power, which is more powerful, a shadowcraft mage or a spell-to-power erudite?

Depends on how you measure it.  In terms of sheer versatility, the StP Erudite probably wins out, since there's not THAT much that an SCM can do that Shades and it's lesser counterparts can't, but the non-racist SCM can do stupid powerful stuff starting at only ECL 5 (Illumian Cleric 2/SCM 3 can do Shadow Miracles given 6 turn attempts per day.  If they have 12 then they can do it twice per day.  Other builds wait until ECL 6 for DMM.)

I would want that too

Q104 What's the easiest way to go about getting Hunter's Eye on a Cleric, ideally without losing any caster levels?

Q105

When an Artificer makes magic items, lets say a scroll. He counts has being his Artificer level +2 for "casting the spells".

So a 3rd level Artificer would be able to count as a 5th level Wizard and could craft scrolls of 3rd level, but they would have a CL of 3. Such as a scroll with a 3d6 Fireball on it.

What if i wanted to craft a scroll of an assassin spell. Would i count as being a 5th level assassin and then be able to craft a scroll or wand of a 3rd level assassin spell?

Basically my question is, do i count as a member of all the different classes and prestige classes as if i had levels in those prestige classes equal to my artificer level + 2?

If so, wont that end with a level 7 artificer who would be able to make scrolls of level 9 spells from the ur-priest, apostle of peace, beholder mage list?

Q106Anyone know of a small dip to acquire "magic" domain?

[Zebu]

A106 Contemplative (the PrC) gives you any one bonus domain at 1st level.  Alternatively, you might be able to use the spell Substitute Domain to qualify, depending on what your GM thinks.

[Viletta Vadim]

Q106Anyone know of a small dip to acquire "magic" domain?

A106 Contemplative (Complete Divine).  Alternately, Sovereign Speaker (Faiths of Eberron), but that loses you a level of spellcasting.  (Then again, it gets you four more domains before losing another level of spell progression.)
