q244: Any way to extend a sla?  I'm trying to figure out cool things to do with SLA alteration stuff and devotion feats (which are SLAs)

I mean, besides having unlimited usages of your devotion feats when a spellthief is hanging around.  That one's obvious.  I think mortalbane applies to strength devotion, which would give you a 3d6 natural attack at level 1.

Get a small creature with a contact spread disease and throw it? Put the small creature in a glass vial with a small break DC beforehand and you're golden.

Or you could just infect yourself to save the trouble of having to carry around another creature. Just be sure to cure the (stat?) damage it inflicts every so often.  :smirk

In my humble opinion, CO is haberdashery. Some say we're mad, but we can all agree we're hatters. Yes, we have potential to make very sophisticated hats, very fancy hats, be they dark or light. But the truth is that the color of the hat does not come from the group of us - our community doesn't directly produce hats. We simply give average head circumferences, list current fashion trends, and point out some shiny, obscure baubles to add to the latest hat line.

Q246: What is a Dweomerkeeper?  Where is it from?  What does it do?
Q247: What is an incantrix?  Where is it from? What does it do?
246: keeps Dweomers.
247: just like that silly rabbit, they can't eat Trix.

Serious answers:[spoiler]
246: the complete divine web enhancement , it bends magic over its knee, getting things like 9th level spells as Su abilities (cost free wishes, for example).
247: player's guide to faerun, makes metamagic free via skill checks, and then bends magic over its knee.[/spoiler]
[Spoiler]
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.
Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne

A prestige class which was last printed in the Player's Guide to Faerun. It has a heavy focus on applying metamagic "for free" (via insanely high spellcraft checks) to its own spells and those of allies. It also gets a bunch of bonus metamagic feats.

Q240. When i charge while mounted, does my mount get an attack too?

If so, if i manage to get my ubermount pounce and Ride-By-Attack (or Adroit Flyby-Attack), does it charge, full attack, and get away from there in the same round?

Nobody?

246 was worth asking just for that sweet link, I will now send that to everyone.  So, spontaneous spells are that good and capstone is just icing?

247 I'll have to look up later, don't have that book on me right now.  For free sounds dumb though.

Not spontaneous, supernatural. So there is no AoO, no spell resistance, etc. You also don't need any components, including expensive ones. So your cleric/dweomerkeeper can cast True Rez without that pesky 25,000 gp diamond...

Q 248 Is it possible to qualify for this dweomerkeeper PrC without actually taking a level in both an arcane and divine class? I'm thinking of a Divine Magician type of thing. Su spell is so abusable!

The Southern Magician feat will do it. I forget where that's from, though. I think Dragon mag.

I looked in the PHB for this answer.
A 240: Yes, but I will point out a mistake you made about feats.

The Ride Skill Section of the PHB states "if you direct your warhorse to attack in battle, you can make your own attack or attacks with a free action DC 10 Ride Check".

If your ubermount got Pounce somehow, if it charges, it gets a full-attack. If you want to attack too, you have to make a DC 10 Ride Check.

If you had Ride-By Attack, used that feat, and your ubermount had Pounce, it would get a full attack because using the Ride-By Attack Feat means both of you charge. If you want to attack too, you have to make a DC 10 Ride Check. This case seems clear to me.

Your ubermount does not get Ride-By Attack. You, the rider, get Ride-By Attack. Your ubermount does not need Ride-By Attack. You need Ride-By Attack.

...

I just thought of a way to get Spring Attack lite for free. Get a halfling with 1 rank in Ride, Mounted Combat, and Ride-by Attack. Have the halfing ride you into battle and use its Ride-By Attack. You charge and get an attack. The Halfling can attack too if it makes a DC 10 Ride Check. Then both of you run away with a move action in the same direction you charged.

Add Pounce for full attacks on both sides.
If I say something about real world physics, and someone disagrees, assume I am right 90% of the time. This number goes up to 100% if I am late night posting - trust me, my star dust sibs.
