q217 Can I stack Practiced Spellcaster or Spellgifted with the Martial Arcanist ability of Abjurant Champion?  Thinking of a build with not much casting but which can cast GMW at CL 20
A217 I don't see why not.  Practiced Spellcaster pretty much applies whenever it would be most beneficial to you.  In other words, after Martial Arcanist resolves, in this case.  Though the real question is whether it stacks with Loredrake, for some wyrmling full-casting fun. :P

Heh.  Spellgifted (trans) Wizard1/Fighter2 (Armored Mage)/FULL BAB++/Abjurant Champion.  *wheee*

Vinom: RE: Burst weapon enhancements: So do I, but Your DM may disagree.

q221 The Evangelist's abilities say they work just like bardic music... does this mean they take bardic music uses?  Also, does evangelist stack with bard for BM uses?
A221
no, and no
this class is just horribly and awkwardly worded.  You have to look to the sample character build to get the clarification that you are looking for.

While the class description says that GO and BM work in similar fashion, they are not the same thing, and actually work independently of each other.

The sample character is a bard 5/evangelist 3.  he gets:
- 5 daily uses of BM
- 3 daily uses of GO
Indicating that BM daily uses can only be spent on BM abilities; GO daily uses can only be spent on GO abilities.

These 2 classes only stack for the purposes of determining the strength of the abilities that you already know, but do not allow access to new abilities -- for example, the sample character has IC +2, but does not have suggestion.

[spoiler]
If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.

Q 222: Where would I find the specifics for an intelegent magic item as a PC?
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.

Q223: Any way to get the summon elemental reserve feat at level one without using taint?

Heighten spell + versatile spellcaster + sanctum spell gets me third level spells, but I can't get the rest of the way with a single feat.

Would Precocious Apprentice as a Focused Specialist work?  That'd give you the bonus 2nd level slots to bump up, and so long as you have some means of snagging spontaneous magic at level 1 (I believe Illusionists can), you can still snag Versatile Spellcaster.  What's the level requirement of Summon Elemental, 4th level summoning?  If so, I think that can snag it (Versatile ~>3rd level spell, 4th level from Sanctum).

I've never been convinced that focused specialist and precocious apprentice interact in that manner.

That said, DDM: Heighten on a dread necromancer works out wonderfully.

Four feats for Heighten + Versatile + DMM:heighten + Summon Elemental

Excellent.

Not that I know of - use the guidelines, I guess.

Q225)
Are there any halfling racial weapons that are counted as martial weapons for them (like the dwarven waraxe for dorfs?)

Step 1) Choose kobold race
Step 2) Take the Dragonwrought Feat
Step 3) ???
Step 4) Ascend to Pun-pun. :P

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.

Ring of Growth, Savage Species (unless it's a belt...).
[spoiler]
A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

A269 Minor schema (Magic of Eberron) and eternal wands (Magic Item Compendium) are always handy, if you can activate 'em reliably.

Then there are Djores of Expansion for the same effect as a wand of Enlarge Person.  Difference is, it works no matter what the target's type is.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!
