Q122: Is there an epic progression or any form of extended table for Thrallherd or does it simply end at Leadership of 25 with the set numbers given on the table?  We have an Ebberon game coming up i'm thinking about playing one but wanted to check this first, since i don't want to be useless at high levels.

Q123
In official sources or Dragon material, where can I find a domain, magic item, or wondrous location that grants Combat Casting?

Q124
Does an Artificer of the appropriate level also know all infusions from supplemental sources like Magic of Eberron?

Q124

A124: Yes.  The major rules point to indicate such is that there are no rules provided for him to "gain" knowledge of the new infusions - because he doesn't need to gain them, he already knows them, because they know all artificier infusions.

Q125: Neither the SRD, the DMG, the Player's Handbook, nor the Rules compendium say mechanically how a character levels up, other than to say that there is an XP relation. What I want to know is if the XP thresholds or necessary or sufficient conditions for leveling up (nor does it even say this is up to the DM).

Example: can a level 1 character who gains enough XP decide not to level up yet? (this is risky but can help a little in a large party)

[TheWordSlinger]

A125: Assuming you're referring to gaining better XP, you're example isn't really valid as a level 1 char gains as much xp as a level 2 char. In fact, the numbers don't change until level 4.
As to your question, I see no reason they wouldn't be allowed to delay their level, perhaps to have XP for makin' stuffs.

I hate hogging this thread, but its so good!

So I'll be fair first:

A118: No. "Whirling frenzy is otherwise identical to the standard barbarian rage in all other ways" and "While raging, a barbarian cannot use ... the Concentration skill"

A119: None. There are tons of simple feats that can be gained, this just isn't one of them. But if you want blind-fighting, weapon proficiency, extra turning, improved initiative, portal sensitive, etc you are in luck!

A122: 339 said no. http://forums.gleemax.com/wotc_archive/index.php/t-1001988.html Also, there are much, much better epic classes then anything reasonable to homebrew off of thrallherd (not that it would be hard). Comon, epic is soooo broken anyways - if you are looking for power there are plenty of other places.

So now that that's over...

Q126: In Savage Species the Multi-Voice feat meantions "two or more heads" in the pre-req but the only mentions the benefits from 'another head,' as well as the rest of the benefits, like it would not help to have a 3rd or 4th head. Does this make sense? Shouldn't a 4 headed caster be able to sling (as a full round action) 4 spells rather than 2, like his meagerly 2 headed buddy can do? Perhaps I'm missing something in the FAQ...

Unless he has more than one set of limbs to play around with, no.

Continuation of Q123
Cleric domains lack Combat Casting as a bonus feat, but what about items?

A126
Complete Warrior mentions this somewhere.

[PlzBreakMyCampaign]

I'm sorry what does CW mention where? (Endarire nope on the items for continuation of Q123... combat reflexes and mounted combat are available though perhaps a magical place can give this feat similar to a metamagic storm...)

What if he does have a spell-castable limb per head, Kuroimaken? (I'm not even sure what exactly makes a spell-castable limb other than capable of fine movements)

Theoretically, in order to be able to cast a spell, you must be able to speak (if the spell has verbal components) and manipulate (if it has somatic components). I would assume that you would need both hands free to be able to cast two spells at once. If you had three heads and two arms, though, no such luck (unless the third spell has no somatic component).

[The_Mad_Linguist]

Q127: So, I'm playing an undead dread necromancer with fell energy spell usable 3/day on 3rd level or lower spells.  If you don't know what it does, it increases any bonuses given by a spell by +2 if the target is undead.  The problem is, even though I have the good domain from rainbow servant, I still don't have any particularly useful spells to apply it to.

As is, the only spells that it can actually work on to that I know are protection from evil, magic circle against evil, and death knell.  I can't even apply it to aid, since it specifies living targets.

So, what domains can I snag with Arcane Disciple that give spells in the levels 1-3 with bonus types that are actually useful to undead? 

EDIT: Mysticism domain.  A better divine favor, and a +6 enhancement to charisma from Lesser Visage... yeah, that rocks.

Q 128: Other than harpies, what (playable) creatures can qualify for the Siren PrC in Savage Species?

[PlzBreakMyCampaign]

Theoretically, in order to be able to cast a spell, you must be able to speak (if the spell has verbal components) and manipulate (if it has somatic components). I would assume that you would need both hands free to be able to cast two spells at once. If you had three heads and two arms, though, no such luck (unless the third spell has no somatic component).

Wait if all each head needs is either a body part or no somatic component then what is the multi-voice feat for?

Would taking the feat only once allow a 4 armed, 4 headed caster can cast 4 spells a turn? (or can this be done without the feat?)

I assume that even if you have multiple heads you don't automatically get the ability to use all of them to cast. The only monster I can recall that is able to cast more than one spell per round is the Spellweaver, and that ability is exclusive to him...

Chronotryn, Demogorgon (and his Aspect), and Chokers can all take two standard (or full) actions per round. Any of these should be able to cast more than one spell per round, assuming they can cast spells at all.

Assuming your DM is insane enough to let you play as a multiheaded Chronotryn spellcaster, for example...

Or Shapechange into one. Chronytryn have two heads, also, in case the DM thinks you need two to cast two spells per round.

I was actually referring to letting you polymorph into something templated.

[PlzBreakMyCampaign]

I appreciate bringing up those broken creatures, but I already know about them (and have been planning to use them all at once in a build coming soon.)

But aside from extra actions, the multi-voice feat allows a two headed creature to (as a full round action) cast 2 spells that would have each cost a standard action. Q129: What I need to know is can the multi-voice feat (or any other ability you can think of) allow a 3 / 4 headed creature to cast 3 / 4 spells as a standard action?
