Q 239 Since I skipped a number, I'll put on the right one now. I'm sure I know the answer, but I thought I'd ask anyways. What happens if you get evasion as a race, and then took levels of rogue, shadowdancer, monk, etc and get evasion from that? Do they overlap, or do they stack and give you Improved Evasion? Or, does it specifically have to say that it'll give you improved if you have it already?

No improved version, but...

You could take the Complete Mage variant that exchanges Evasion for Spell Reflection, so that if someone misses you with a spell, you can use send it back at them with a new attack roll. It might actually be useful if an annoying wizard is chucking Orbs of Acid or Scorching Rays at you. They do actually have to miss, so touch AC optimization would be in order.

That's what I was just looking for. Complete Mage is where it is. Good to know.

Q241
Where can I find a link to the Ocotpus familiar?  Alternatively, where can I find a full lits of its stats?

I've heard this familiar is from It's Wet Outside, but I never found it.

Q242
what's the Fey feat from WotC's site that's free for fey?  Where's a link to it?

Hood - My first answer to all your build questions; past, present, and future.

Speaking of which:
Don't even need TO for this.  Any decent Hood build, especially one with Celerity, one-rounds [Azathoth, the most powerful greater deity from d20 Cthulu].
Does it bug anyone else that we've reached the point where characters who can obliterate a greater deity in one round are considered "decent?"

The familiar is in Stormwrack, pg 52. It's the same octopus from the first Monster Manual.

Define "free for fey".

Q242 II
"Free" meaning it's automatically given.

Adding a question so I thought I'd bump this, and ask the other one.

Q 240 Are there any ACFs for blackguards? Namely a replacement for Fiendish Servant.


Q 243 Is there a curse, template, item, whatever, that'll permanently shrink, or temporarily shrink an outsider (preferably), or at least a non-humanoid from medium to small, or large to medium? Something like that? I know there's lot of ways to make things bigger, but only know of very specific spells that'll reduce you.

Q 244 Are there any spells that make you immune to gaze attacks? i think there was an item in the MIC that did but looking for more options.

Q 245 would the bonuses gained by killing things from the feat improved energy drain, from libris mortis, stack?

thanks

A243: Polymorph Any Object comes to mind. A continuous item of the psionic power Compression could work as well - perhaps make it a cursed item if you don't want the subject to remove it.

Q246: Is there any reason that an outfit or tunic can't be enchanted with armor enchantments such as Mobility? They occupy the same slot, and I kinda feel the non-armor wearers like monks get the raunchy shaft if they can't (nothing new for monks, there).

Shadow mask (Spell Compendium) gives you 50% immunity.  Blindsight (Spell Compendium) allows you to operate with your eyes closed.

Okay, me again.

Are there any rules in 3.5 regarding slavery, especially buying slaves that have specific class levels? If so, where can I find them? I seem to recall there was something in the DMG about renting the services of class representatives, but when it comes to slavery, my mind is blank.

Probably Lords of Madness.

There is no greater contribution than Hi Welcome.

Sunic may be more abrasive than sandpaper coated in chainsaws (not that its a bad thing, he really does know what he's talking about), but just posting in this thread without warning and telling him he's an asshole which, if you knew his past experiences on WotC and Paizo is flat-out uncalled for. Never mind the insults (which are clearly 4Chan-level childish). You say people like Sunic are the bane of the internet? Try looking at your own post and telling me you are better than him.

Here's a fun fact: You aren't. By a few leagues.

Q247

A warforged psion with the adamantite body feat, can use psychic reformation to take away that feat and return to the normal +2 armour that his race normally gets. However how do you explain this in game, how does the power change the material the warforged is made of?

A WizardPsion did it.

Seriously, that's the only explanation.  A Human Psion using Psychic Reformation can suddenly sprout tentacles or wings.  Just about anyone could suddenly get really fat or really skinny.

I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Seelie Court Noble Kelir and Unseelie Court Noble Kelir are free (read their special sections).

Q248: Does acid splash add sneak attack damage or only ray of frost as cantrip? In other words, do only rays give you the opportunity to add sneak attack or any ranged touch spell?
