Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
A175 Continued This should really now be moved to its own thread.
That's a good example of why not - when you have used up your daily uses of an ability you posses you still possess the ability - you just cannot use it.
When you use up the uses of something granted to you temporarily you definitely don't have the ability.Last edited by Khedrac; 2021-02-22 at 04:54 AM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
Q 179 part 1
From PHB pg. 157 (mounted combat section): "If your mount charges, you also take the AC penalty associated with a charge. If you make an attack at the end of the charge, you receive the bonus gained from the charge. When charging on horseback, you deal double damage with a lance (see Charge, page 154)."
Does this mean that the mount is the one taking the charge action rather than the rider? Accordingly, when the mount charges, can both mount and rider make an attack at the end? (My interpretation is yes, but the rider must spend a standard action to attack as usual.)
Admittedly, the "when charging on horseback" line makes this a little muddy. Seems that the intent is that the rider is considered to be "charging" as well, but I'm mostly interested in the actions spent and on whether both mount and rider (rather than just rider) can attack.
Q 179 part 2
If indeed both mount and rider can attack, pg. 154 (charge section) says "First, you must move to the closest space from which you can attack the opponent." If the mount and the rider have different reaches, is the "closest space" considered the one from which the MOUNT can reach, the RIDER can reach, or BOTH can reach?In the Beginning Was the Word, and the Word Was Suck: A Guide to Truenamers

I don't think this is specified in RAW (I'd be happy to be proven wrong).
My 2 coppers: it has fairly similar stats to a shortspear, so I'd treat is as one handed. Also, referring to the Improvised Weapon rules: "To determine the size category and appropriate damage for an improvised weapon, compare its relative size and damage potential to the weapon list to find a reasonable match."My winning competition entries: Kinvig Arrumskor | The Great Pumpkinhead | Wynfrith d'Acker

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
Q 181 A
Something that's on fire takes 1d6 points of fire damage per round. Fire damage dealt to an object is halved before hardness is applied. Wood is listed as having 5 points of hardness. It is not possible for a mundane fire to actually harm wood, right? I can't find any specific rule that makes an exception to fire damage piercing the hardness of wood or other flammable materials.
Q 181 B
If wood is flammable but the fire is incapable of damaging the wood to the point that it is effectively destroyed, should wooden objects burn indefinitely until extinguished?Last edited by Vaern; 2021-02-23 at 07:29 PM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
Page 165 of the PHB:
The DM may rule that certain attacks are especially successful against some objects. For example, it’s easy to light a curtain on fire, chop down a tree with an ax, or rip up a scroll. In such cases, attacks deal double their normal damage and may (at the DM’s discretion) ignore the object’s hardness.Rhymes with "Protracted."

Q 183
Can a monster with innate spellcasting take a prc which advances casting without belonging to a "previous class"? For example, if a monster casts like a 14th level sorcerer, and this stacks with actual sorc levels, can they just go straight to archmage?

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen

Can't find a citation right now, but a monster must take at least 1 actual base class level for a PrC to be able advance it's casting.
For instance, a Rakshasa Sorcerer 1 that takes 3 levels in Eldritch Knight would have the casting ability of a 10th level Sorcerer. A Rakshasa could not take Eldritch Knight to advance it's casting without at least 1 actual class level.My winning competition entries: Kinvig Arrumskor | The Great Pumpkinhead | Wynfrith d'Acker

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
A 183
Yes. The question is if you can apply casting advancement from a PRC to innate casting. I'd argue that you should be able to since RHD type functions as a class. This quote from Savage Species supports that ruling.
Hit Dice: A monster’s “kind” is, in many ways, its character class (see Chapter 3: Classes for more on this concept); in this sense, its Hit Dice are equivalent to its monster class levelsLast edited by Elves; 2021-02-26 at 09:53 PM.

Per page 8 of the Rules Compendium, "switch hands with an item" is a move action that does not provoke. (I wasn't able to find a direct reference for this in the PHB, so I believe it to be derived indirectly from PHB pg. 143, which states that "manipulating an item" is a move action.) I can't find any text indicating that Quick Draw changes this.In the Beginning Was the Word, and the Word Was Suck: A Guide to Truenamers

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
Also note, the Einhander tactical feat (Player's Handbook II) allows a maneuver that includes switching hand with your weapon as part of a free action.
Q 184
A) The Complete Warrior adds Perform [weapon drill] as a category of the Perform skill. Its description does specify that a Bard cannot use it for his bardic music abilities, but no other limitation. Thus, if a prestige class asks for some ranks in Perform (like Duelist) as a prerequisite without specifying the category, are ranks in Perform [weapon drill] enough to qualify?
B) Similarly, the third-party Book of Erotic Fantasy adds Perform [sexual techniques] as a new Perform category. If used, can you qualify as a Duelist solely with ranks in Perform [sexual techniques]?Last edited by St Fan; 2021-02-27 at 06:52 AM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
A 184 A) Yes One of the points people miss is that bardic "music" must be primarily sound-based - perform "mime" does not qualify.
B) Not a 3.5 RAW question as that is 3rd party material.Last edited by Khedrac; 2021-02-27 at 10:47 AM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
Q185. If a prestige class requires a certain BAB does that need to happen prior to taking the class or could that class add to it. Ex. If one wanted to be a dervish from CW which requires a BAB of +5. Could one take 4 levels of fighter and then dervish at 5 (both classes having a full BAB progression) Or would they have to take 5 of fighter and dervish at 6? Thanks.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
The rules for what is or is not an "open" square are not the same as the rules for which squares you're allowed to move through. They often go hand-in-hand, but they are not technically the same thing. A square that is occupied is not open even if you would be able to move through it for some reason.

Q 187
Should the d2 Crusader shenanigan really work as it is assumed to work?
Aura of Chaos reads:
When one or more of your damage dice show a maximum possible result, reroll each such die and add its result to the original damage total. You can continue to reroll as long as a die shows its maximum possible result, adding each new number to the damage total until each die has shown less than a maximum result.
When rolling for damage, treat any die roll result of 1 as 2, unless 1 is the maximum result possible."Technically correct" is the best kind of correct.

No hard RAW answer to this as the rules never define this distinction (though you can point to examples of places where the distinction is drawn).
That doesn't necessarily mean the permissive reading is correct (the "if there's no rule against it it's legal" fallacy), since there are ways to read the text otherwise, but it means it's an issue of ruling not rules.
Q 186 cont
But where is the definition of "open" coming from. On the face of it, it could just as well mean either "a space not occupied by any creature" or "a space you are eligible to occupy". My question is whether there's text evidence for one over the other.Join the 3.5e Discord server: https://discord.gg/ehGFz6M3nJ

Q188- "Underfoot combat" allows you to move into a larger opponents space.
Aside from the feat itself are there any rules on what that means? The larger enemy isnt flat footed and not grappled either, so are we just standing in the same field and everything else works as normal?Last edited by Bobur; 2021-03-02 at 05:21 AM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #36: The Triple Dozen
A188 Probably
The intent is clear that with this feat you can occupy the space of an opponent two sizes larger than you without any penalties (on either side) just as if they were three or more sizes larger (except you also gain soft cover). However the rules don't actually say that, so there's a strong RAW argument to say that the squeezing rules apply to both you and the larger opponent.
