Q122: Looking for that spell/power that crystallizes a memory and erupts it form the subjects head. What is this spell called? And where is it from?
Ah! Maddness. Thank you.[spoiler][/spoiler]

Q 89 The exotic armor and shields section in Races of Stone has a Gauntlet Shield. It says it can hold things, but can't use weapons with it. However, it can perform somatic component spells, and hold onto various items. I read this as "can't use to fight with a light weapon in that hand" as opposed to "can't fight with weapons at any time, even when trying to power attack." Am I correct in my interpretation?

You are reading too much in it. "Can't use weapons" = "can't use weapons". It can't be used in conjunction with a twohander, nor can be it used to TWF. (Unless you Shieldbash with it, which, given that it is a Heavy Shield and thus a one-hander, means you can PA with this shield.)

Q121: I am under the impression that you may only learn stances of a level for which you qualify for the maneuvers of the same level. If a stance has an entry, say, Crusader 6, do you need to be a 6th level Crusader or 11th level?

11th level.  the 6 is it's manuever level, not the initiator level you need.  Copying how spells are listed, like Bard 3, Sorceror/Wizard 3 for Haste.  Confusing, i know.
Thanks, I thought that was the case as well. I just saw somebody post on another forum using a 6th level crusader stance on a build with only 1 level of warblade and 6 of JPM.  ???

non-initiator clases give 1/2 IL.

A Wujen6/Warblade1/JPM5 has an IL of 9, for example.
Interesting, that's good to know. Thanks.

I could swear it's a Psionic Power, but I can't find it either.

It's a psionic power in an out-of-the-way-you-wouldn't-expect-to-find-it-in-this-book book. Like a campaign setting supplemental book like Champions of Ruin or something silly like that. I recall it, but not the specific book it's in.

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.

Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,

Hardly.  It's Crystalline Memories (Sorcerer/Wizard spell) from Complete Mage.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Q124  Is there any way to increase an air mefit's fly speed to something a little more respectable?  Something like 30 or 40?

Q 125: If another being is a part of you, other than it's feats, do you also gain benefit of it's BAB if it is higher than your own?  Relevant example being an Item Familiar that is intelligent (and thus medium BAB as a construct of your HD).

Q123: Is there any way to stop your items (especially magical ones) from getting Sundered?
I think covering an item in Quintessence is supposed to make it indestructible. Other options include making your item out of Aurorum (BoED), which, while it doesn't stop them from getting sundered, lets your item be put back together as a full-round action if it's destroyed (whether or not magical properties are lost isn't covered). Also, Truenamers get an utterance that restores a broken item to its previous state, with all magical properties in tact. Again, though, this is not a preventive measure.

Q127 Does a spell-like ability (like that gained through Innate Spell or a level of Archmage) version of Silent Image and its cousins count for Shadowcraft Mage's Shadow Illusion ability?

Air heritage gives up to 30 feet. The cap is the lower of 30 feet and your base fly speed.

Q128 Is there any way to take Ability Burn as Ability Damage?
[spoiler]Fighter: "I can kill a guy in one turn."
Cleric: "I can kill a guy in half a turn."
Wizard: "I can kill a guy before my turn."
Bard: "I can get three idiots to kill guys for me."

On a strange note, would anyone be put out if we had a post about people or events we can spare a thought for, or if its within their creed, a prayer for? Just a random thought, but ... hells I wouldn't have known about either Archangels daughter or Saeomons niece if I didn't happen to be on these threads.
Sounds fine to me.
probably over on "Off-topic".
might want to put a little disclaimer in the first post.

This is the Min/Max board. We should be able to figure out a way to optimize the POWER OF PRAYER(TM) that doesn't involve "Pazuzu, Pazuzu, Pazuzu".

Air heritage gives up to 30 feet. The cap is the lower of 30 feet and your base fly speed.
Also get a fast leg graft (fiend folio).  That gives a +10 to all your speeds for cheap.

Q129: Is there a way to up your usages of Knowledge Affiliation per day? I really want to use it on a Cheater of Mystra, just to see the look on his face. And then I want to strip him of spellcasting. Just to be a dick.
