Q123: What happens when you apply the magic/psionics transparency to the Reserves of Strength Feat?
does transparency even work on feats?

Good point. Just looked: Spells, SLAs and Magic items. Feats would 100% be a house rule. I think that answers the question.
I believe that it's called "Overchannel"

[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.127.

"Undead Mastery: All undead creatures created by a dread necromancer who has reached 8th level or higher gain a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity and 2 additional hit points per Hit Die"

Whose Hit Die's are we talking about? The Undead HDs? Or the Character HDs?

Wait, did you leave out a comma between "dexterity" and "and."? Cause a +4 to srt & dex per HD is insane.

(And it's the undead's HD)

There is no comma missing but comma before an and is bad grammar regardless.

"We managed to make an NPC puke an undead monster."
"That sounds like a victory to me."

I believe that may be sig-worthy.

In this case, the comma is optional.  Either with or without would be grammatically correct.

But the HD referred to is the Undead's, not yours.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Quotes:[spoiler]
By yes, she means no.
That explains so much about my life.

Why would you even do this? It hurts my eyes and looks like you ate your keyboard before suffering an attack of explosive diarrhea.

If using Genesis to hide your phylactry, set it at -300 degrees farenheit.  See how do-gooders fare with a liquid atmosphere.

Q 126: Is there anyway to lower a spell's range to touch?
(bump)
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.

Q128

Quote from: Heward's Handy Haversack
It has two side pouches, each of which appears large enough to hold about a quart of material. In fact, each is like a bag of holding and can actually hold material of as much as 2 cubic feet in volume or 20 pounds in weight.

Quote from: Bag of Holding
If the bag is overloaded, or if sharp objects pierce it (from inside or outside), the bag ruptures and is ruined. All contents are lost forever.

HHH + Sharp Obects = ???

Same effect yes, also it'll have the same interaction with a portable hole.

Q 129 Is there a list somewhere of what weapon turns into what when using the Size ability? I know it makes it bigger or smaller, but what weapons do they become? Like, a +1 sizing dagger is a longsword? A shortsword? A rapier? A +1 rapier turns into what? A shortsword? I know it doesn't actually change them into different weapons per se, but I'm looking for more of what it counts as for damage, and crit modifier, etc.

Just changes weapon size now, since 3.5 changed the weapon/size equivalence rules (one of the changes I dislike).

Q131: If I have the Knockback feat (RoS) and strike an enemy with the Death Mark maneuver (ToB), do I get to make a bull-rush attempt vs. only one opponent, or everyone in the radius of the Death Mark explosion?

So, if I had it on a short sword that's piercing, it now becomes a longer version of that same short sword and does 1d8 piercing damage? Or put it on dagger and it does 1d6 piercing or slashing?

Yes.

You'd only get the bull rush against the opponent you actually struck.

It's not part of the attack, it's an effect occurring on a successful attack, which is the key point regarding knockback.

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...
