Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
A 44 No. Zombies lose class levels, so you lose fighter's weapon/armor proficiencies, and change type to undead so you get those proficiencies (all natural weapons, and all simple weapons.)

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
Q 45
A character with the Robilar's Gambit feat first uses his move action to cross several opponents' threatened areas, provoking attack of opportunities in doing so and retaliating for each swing.
He ends his movement next to another enemy, and then uses his standard action for an attack (maybe a strike maneuver). If he also uses Snap Kick alongside this attack, both suffer a -2 to hit penalty (as well as any other attack of opportunities made till the next turn).
However, despite Snap Kick saying "You take a -2 penalty on all attack rolls you make this round.", this penalty doesn't concern the attacks of opportunity made before the standard action, because the decision of using the Snap Kick wasn't made yet, I am right?
(Nor the fact that you made attacks without the -2 penalty prevents you from using the Snap Kick afterward, correct?)Spoiler

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
Q 046
Looking for a feat: is there a feat that adds the evil descriptor to your spells? Specifically, not Corrupt Spell or Violate Spell, which must be applied to a single spell only (chosen when the feat is selected), but a feat that can be applied to any spell?
I thought I remembered such a feat, but I may have been getting confused about how Corrupt Spell or Violate Spell work...My winning competition entries: Kinvig Arrumskor | The Great Pumpkinhead | Wynfrith d'Acker

A 46
Not a feat, but the Aligned Spellcaster ACF from Dragon Magazine #357 can allow an evil wizard, sorcerer or hexblade to add the Evil descriptor to all non-Good spells cast.
The Planar Wizard substitution level for 10th level can also do the same thing, this time regardless of the caster's alignment.
Touch of the Blackened Soul is a spell that can also gives the Evil descriptor to other spells of low level.
A 46a
Yes, the Complete Divine version doesn't have the limitation you mentioned from Book of Vile Darkness. It works like any other metamagic feat (+1 level to the spell cast).Last edited by St Fan; 2020-12-07 at 07:07 PM.

Q 048 sorry to spam questions
Question about the Sand Shaper Desert Insight class feature. It doesn't seem to have a disclaimer about it only applying to one class.
If you were, say, a Dusklade 7/Divine Crusader 1/Sand Shaper 1 - would the spells from Desert Insight be added to both your Duskblade spells known and Divine Crusader spells that you can memorize?Last edited by Thurbane; 2020-12-08 at 03:57 PM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
Interaction between Arcane fusion and metamagic spells (in particular fell frighten).
Q 49a
Fell frighten applies to spells that deal damage; can I apply it to arcane fusion (assuming at least one of the two spells I cast through it deals damage)? The CMag errata are somehow confusing...
Q 49b
Let's suppose I cast, through a fell frighten arcane fusion, magic missile and wings of flurry; does an enemy being damaged by both spells suffer the shacken condition once or twice (thus escalating to frightened)? Note: fell frighten is applied once onto arcane fusion, and not individually onto magic missile and wings of flurry (which would require 2 metamagic discounts to work).Last edited by Kaleph; 2020-12-08 at 05:55 AM.

Q50
Some spells have an area described as "One N-ft. square/level"
is this "for each caster level, make a square with a side of N feet", or is it "make one square, with a side of N*level feet"

A 50
It's one square per caster level, and the squares have sides of N feet. The latter would not be expressed this way in English, but something more along the lines of "5 ft./level square".

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
Mercury and steel dragons (Dragons of Faerun) both have the alternate form ability, as do song dragons (Monsters of Faerun); adamantine, arboreal, and beast dragons (Dragon #321); and iron dragons (Dragon #356). Deep dragons (Drow of the Underdark) have change shape rather than alternate form, but of course the two are very similar. Any true dragon can gain the ability, of course, with the feat of the same name in Dragons of Eberron.
You'd have to be more specific. Some classes, yes, other classes, no.
Arcane fusion is a personal spell: it only targets you. There's nothing stopping you from applying Fell Frighten to it, but it wouldn't do anything, since what the spell does is allow you to cast two other spells. It would be like using metamagic on Rary's mnemonic enhancer.Last edited by Troacctid; 2020-12-08 at 05:17 PM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
Q 52
Does a maneuver's flat damage bonus (like war leader's charge) ever get doubled? On a crit, a lance charge, etc?
Q 53
Is a maneuver's extra damage of the same type as the basic weapon damage? Can it deal non-lethal damage?

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
Q56 If I'm currently in a grapple where I've already succeeded on my initial grab and am now holding on to my opponent, what happens if i get dazed before my next turn? Do I automatically let go? Do I get to roll an opposed grapple check on their turn when they try to break free?

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
Q 057
Question about Archivists and wands.
An archivist casts divine spells, drawn primarily from the cleric spell list although he can eventually uncover, learn, and prepare noncleric divine spells spells.
I assume this means an Archivist can use a wand of any Cleric spell without needing UMD. How about other divine spells (Druid etc.)?
Or does it depend on whether the spell is in his prayer book or not, for non-Cleric spells?My winning competition entries: Kinvig Arrumskor | The Great Pumpkinhead | Wynfrith d'Acker

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
A 57
The archivist class spell list must be all divine spells, but this is not directly stated anywhere. Rather, we have to infer it from the following facts:
- The archivist's Prayerbook feature refers to PH 178 Adding Spells to a Wizard’s Spellbook.
- Per the archivist's Spellcasting features, the spells in an archivist's prayerbook are "copied divine spells".
- Per RC 160, "The spell to be copied must be on the copier’s class spell list."
Thus, every spell an archivist can copy must already be on the archivist class spell list, which working backwards, implies that the archivist can use spell trigger items with the without UMD.
Note that the RC rule is required for this interpretation; without the archivist's class spell list is probably either nonexistent, just the cleric spell list (cf. sorcerer), or the sor/wiz spell list.
A 58
It's not super clear, but evidence suggests that you make different decisions for each recipient of a shared spell based on some example text in the Alter Self spell description:

This is a hotly debated topic, again mostly based on interpreting around an example deleted for the SRD. There two popular interpretations that say, respectively, yes and no. The former interpretation basically invalidates the fighter as a class; the latter interpretation implies that blindness blindness/deafness suppresses blindness/deafness deafness.
If you want to hash it out again, you'd be better off starting a newflame warthread.Last edited by sreservoir; 2020-12-11 at 07:52 AM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
To the first part of the question, expect DM variation. Mostly, when readying an action, it's expected to be precise enough, so yes the spell should probably be specified.
To the second part, however: no. A point of origin, or any other target or specificity of a spell is chosen at the very moment the spell is cast, not before, even with a prepared action.Spoiler
