Q228 - Any 100% watertight way of negating/offsetting xp cost on spells without being evil? Dweomerkeeper's no material costs got ruled to say xp isn't a component... so anything that targets xp directly?

Get it as a SLA or SU ability. I think Archmage can do that, but it costs a permanent slot.

Dweomerkeeper does it as an Su and that was denied with XP deemed to be different from components. Unless there's some other way I think i'm SoL.

SLAs are the only other way I can think of. Are you thinking small-time stuff or break the campaign world stuff?

Using Stronghold Builder's Guide to build a base and looking for ways to cut corners on costs w/ Creation magic. I guess it would break the world so I will pass on it. Though I am just reminded of something I wanted to ask earlier.

Q229 - Can Shadow wishes give you +5 inherant bonuses to your stats and does it last? lol

A229: Wish is Universal school, so you can't get a Shadow Wish. You can get Shadow Miracles, however.

Anyway, if you somehow could get a Shadow Wish, it would work fine if you failed the Will save.

Q230Assuming my character has a bab of +15/+10/+5 and the complete two-weapon fighting feat tree. Do I get the three extra attack on a full attack action?


Q231 Do I get a natural attack in the same round as a Full round attack?

but isn't it the spell that is the same alignment as the summoned creature and not the other way around

I really don't understand what the issue is here.

just because the spell is now [evil] subtyped thanks to the drow ACF, doesn't mean it lets you summon evil creatures with it.  You'll still summon chaotic creatures if you are CN.

What? The alignment of the summoned creature has nothing to do with the alignment of the character. Except for clerics, who can't summon anything opposed to their own alignment, or their deity's.

I think technically you could even make iterative attacks with two weapons and as long as you don't claim an extra attack from TWFing, you don't take any penalties for doing so.

This is correct.

Q230Assuming my character has a bab of +15/+10/+5 and the complete two-weapon fighting feat tree. Do I get the three extra attack on a full attack action?

A230: With BAB 15 and TWF, ITWF, and GTWF, you would get six attacks. 3 with your main hand and 3 with your off hand.


Q231 Do I get a natural attack in the same round as a Full round attack?

A231: Technically, no.

You, however, make any natural attacks you have as part of your full attack. This would be in addition to any iterative attacks you make, provided the natural attacks don't use the same limb(s) used to make your iterative attacks.

Q232: Is there a feat for paladins that removes the -3 on the cleric level for turn undead?
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.

Assuming I had the BAB of 15, with a natural bite attack and the TWF tree would my full attack would be +15/+10/+5(primary)  +13/+10/+5(of-hand) +15(Natual Bite)?

No, it would be +13/+8/+3 (primary),  +13/+8/+3 (off-hand), and +8 bite. The off-hand and bite would only get 1/2 your strength bonus to damage. The primary would get 1x str bonus to damage.

Nightmare (Astral Projection, Etherealness), Couatl (9th level sorcerer, tons of other awesome stuff), Succubus (Etherealness, Change Shape), Hound Archon (PfE aura, Greater Teleport at will). Also look through the Summoner's Guide to the Lower Planes. I found it very informative. He even has information in there on all kinds of things that would be difficult to summon (outside of Gate, Planar Binding, etc).

Too bad the Astral Deva is just outside that range. 14th level cleric casting would be nice. :P There are other kinds of devas in the splatbooks, and I'm sure there are probably some that fall under the 10 HD limit, though.
