Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #35: 3/2 Score And Four Threads Ago
q 808
if a +caster level effect lasts 1minute, but a spell casting time is 12 hours, do you get the +caster level? its on at the start of casting but off at the end of casting.
q 809
can you activate immediate actions in the middle of casting as long as said immediate action is not a spell? like abrupt jaunt or discharging a spell that requires an immediate action to discharge.Last edited by newguydude1; 2020-10-17 at 07:02 PM.

Q810: if you roll a diplomacy check and get less than a 1, can you try again, hoping to get less than a 1 the second time so that the enemy will take risks to harm you?

A 808 No.
A 809 Kind of. If you were to do this, the immediate action would "interrupt" whatever you were doing and would be considered to have come first, so you adjudicate your immediate, then finish whatever you were doing, as long as you weren't flat-footed.I've got a new fantasy TTRPG about running your own fencing school in a 3 musketeers pastiche setting.

Q811
Arcane Hierophant has this class ability:
Companion Familiar: Upon becoming an arcane hierophant, you must dismiss your familiar, if you have one (You do not risk losing XP for doing so.) You may retain any one animal companion you already possess... In addition, your animal companion (if any) gains many of the abilities that a familiar would normally possess. You add your arcane hierophant class level to your arcane spellcasting class level, and determine the Intelligence bonus and special abilities of your animal companion accordingly (see the sidebar Familiars, page 53 of the Player's Handbook).Last edited by Doctor Despair; 2020-10-18 at 12:08 PM.

That's not specific to either. Using any part of the body is a part of the Unarmed Strike description. The Monk's description just re-states you can use any body part, because it's a crucial part of their combat style.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #35: 3/2 Score And Four Threads Ago
Q813
Dragon Steed (Draconomicon) reads:
Benefit: You gain the service of a dragonnel as a steed. It serves loyally as long as you treat it fairly, much like a cohort.
Special: If you have a special mount (such as from the paladin class feature), this dragonnel replaces your special mount.
Table 3-15: Dragon Special Mount AvailabilityPaladin Level Dragon (Maximum Rider Size) 9th Dragonnel (M) 11th Spiked felldrake (M) 12th Gold, wyrmling (S) 13th Bronze, very young (S) 14th Silver, very young (S) 16th Gold, very young (M) 18th Bronze, young 19th Silver, young 20th Gold, young
Most prestige classes and feats that I've found that affect mount progression seem to be predicated on increasing your effective paladin level for determing the abilities of your paladin mount. Holy Mount and Knight of the Blue Moon explicitly stack that way, for example.
Holy Mount: ...When determining the abilities of your paladin special mount, you can combine the levels of your paladin class with those of your other divine spellcasting classes. For example, a 5th-level paladin/3rd-level cleric with this feat grants his paladin special mount abilities as an 8th-level paladin.Knight of the Blue Moon: ... At 1st level, you can call a special mount. This ability is identical to the paladin ability of the same name, except the mount will always match your alignment. Levels of paladin and Knight of the Blue Moon stack for purposes of determining the special mount's abilities. In addition, if you do not have a familiar, levels of sorcerer or wizard also stack for purposes of determining the special mount's abilities.
edited for better, clearer phrasing
Edit: Q814
The feat Dragon Steed's benefit line seems to imply that the dragon steed remains with you indefinitely. However, if it replaces your special mount, does that mean that it inherits the special mount's time limit on use (i.e. 2 hours/paladin level)?
Q815
Are there any rules governing what happens if the Dragon Steed ages up another category, either naturally or magically (such as via a Bestow Curse or something similar)? Dragons as Familiars on page 141 include a line that dragons that become very young or older become ineligible to continue to serve as a familiar, but there is no such language that I can find in the passage on Dragons as Special Mounts.Last edited by Doctor Despair; 2020-10-19 at 08:43 PM.

Q 817
If you have the Skill Focus (diplomacy) feat, and take a level of Marshal, you can select a different bonus feat instead of the normally granted Skill Focus (diplomacy).
Using the retraining rules from PHB2, can you swap out Skill Focus (diplomacy) for something else, but still retain the bonus feat you got from Marshal 1?My winning competition entries: Kinvig Arrumskor | The Great Pumpkinhead | Wynfrith d'Acker

Q 818
The spell wings of cover states it provides protection from attacks. It also states that it provides full cover and blocks line of effect. Can wings of cover be used to block a spell that allows a saving throw but not an attack roll, like hold person for example, or does it only protect against spells that require attack rolls to be made?

Theoretically, yes. You can also do the same kind of things with the various feats granted by Bloodlines.

Q 820
Two questions about the Mage of the Arcane Order prestige class (Complete Arcane):
A: If a Mage of the Arcane Order calls a spell from the Spellspool, can she adds a metamagic feat to the newly prepared spell (assuming the available spell slot is of high level enough for the modified spell level)?
B: If a Wu Jen (who can fit the requirements) becomes a Mage of the Arcane Order, can he call (and cast) spells from the Spellpool that are not in the Wu Jen's spell list?Last edited by St Fan; 2020-10-23 at 05:09 AM.

A 819
They activate in the order They have been cast. In this instance, casting Death Throes first then Infallible Servant is the best solution (since your body would explode and then the pieces would liquefy, possibly expanding infallible Servant AoE, but this is not RAW, just a Dm decision)
A 820 - A
There is no indication of neither yes or no. Discuss it with your DM, but as a DM i would rule that you cannot. You bring out a spell of a certain level in a slot of that level.
A 820 - B
As answer A, depends on how the DM interprets the Spellpool. If the Spellpool is like a box containing spells like candies, and you can pick up one to "eat"(use), yes you can, as Wizards can then memorize spells that only Wu Jen can cast. But this means also that there is a chance that you are not able to find a certain spell you are looking for in the pool.
My interpretation is that the Spellpool is a well of magical energy, that you shape in the form of the wanted spell when you recall the energy. This limits the spells you can form to those of your base spellcasting class.
The second is the most likely interpretation, so i would say NO to your questionLast edited by Zerryzerry; 2020-10-23 at 08:31 AM.

It means that unless you have Paladin levels, the mount does not get additional benefits from you advancing in level.
It can be ruled that gains benefits from the levels of any Paladin ACF, at least from the ones that have the Special Mount ability
A814
Yes, takes on all the bonuses and maluses of a special mount

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #35: 3/2 Score And Four Threads Ago
A821 You would need to use the mmask to gain low-light vision, but you do not need the feat track.
Either of the full stop and the closing parenthesis between the effect if you already have track and the gaining of low light vision are sufficient to divorce this from that clause, so the low-light vision is "in addition" to the gaining of the track feat (or the bonus if you already have it).
Note: simple possession of the mask is not sufficent, it must be active in the correct magic item slot.
Edit: Apologies to Doctor Despair - I missed the fundamental part of the actual question - Venger is correct, it does meet the requirement for a prestige class while worn.Last edited by Khedrac; 2020-10-25 at 04:04 PM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #35: 3/2 Score And Four Threads Ago
Q822
I've seen the following rules text referenced for Incorporeal creatures, but I can't seem to find a source. Does anyone know what book, if any, this rule comes from?
Incorporeal creatures hiding inside solid objects get a +2 circumstance bonus on Listen checks, because solid objects carry sound well. Pinpointing an opponent from inside a solid object uses the same rules as pinpointing invisible opponents (see Invisibility).
Can an Incorporeal creature stick its head out from inside of an object, trading its total cover out for regular cover in exchange for making a spot check?
An Incorporeal creature has cover (instead of total cover) when attacking from inside of an object. An attack can include unarmed strikes, such as a headbutt. I'm not sure if that translates to just sticking your head out though.
Likewise, when not in combat, I'm not sure if the rules for Local Movement would let an Incorporeal creature lean just its head into another square to maintain cover.
RAI, I think, suggests this should be a simple matter to resolve, but I was hoping for a second RAW opinion

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #35: 3/2 Score And Four Threads Ago
Q824
After looking at the following rules on taking 10, I was wondering if someone could clarify: is there any reason a hidden character would be precluded from taking 10 on a listen check, providing they are not in combat or threatened?
.Spoiler: Taking 10
When your character is not being threatened or distracted, you may choose to take 10. Instead of rolling 1d20 for the skill check, calculate your result as if you had rolled a 10. For many routine tasks, taking 10 makes them automatically successful. Distractions or threats (such as combat) make it impossible for a character to take 10. In most cases, taking 10 is purely a safety measure —you know (or expect) that an average roll will succeed but fear that a poor roll might fail, so you elect to settle for the average roll (a 10). Taking 10 is especially useful in situations where a particularly high roll wouldn’t help

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #35: 3/2 Score And Four Threads Ago
Adding to this: it would be possible out of combat, since only combat movement is locked to a grid.
The DM has discretion to decide whether taking 10 is appropriate in a situation, but other than that, there's nothing that would prohibit doing this, no. Note that it may not be your decision if the Listen check is rolled secretly.Rhymes with "Protracted."
