Yes.
Player's Handbook p. 25:

While raging, a barbarian
cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based
skills (except for Balance, Escape Artist, Intimidate, and
Ride), the Concentration skill, or any abilities that require
patience or concentration, nor can he cast spells or activate
magic items that require a command word, a
spell trigger (such as a wand), or spell completion
(such as a scroll) to function. He can use
any feat he has except Combat Expertise, item
creation feats, and metamagic
feats.
Hitting things is well within a raging barbarian's capabilities :smallbiggrin:

Q 1176: Does the target of a (non-damaging) spell feel anything indicating that they're being affected by magic? I had thought that I'd read something to that effect once, but I can't seem to find it.
-
Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
A1176
In general if you succeed your save, you know you resisted something, though not exactly what it was (at least this is true in the case of Will saves, such as against a Charm). If you fail your save, you have no idea you've been affected until an obvious effect occurs. I forget the exact specifications; there may be numerous exceptions, so consider this a "rule of thumb" rather than an actual rule, although I'm certain there is an actual rule on which it's based.

Q 1177
Can an artificer apply multiple metamagic feats to a scroll with metamagic spell completion? If yes, would he burn one of his uses or one for each metamagic feat applied?

Quote:
Challenge Ratings for NPCs
An NPC with a PC class has a Challenge Rating equal to the NPC’s level.
That's the simple case, though; an NPC who also has a level adjustment may have a different Challenge Rating than their ECL.

Q1155 Sorry to be a pest, but I was hoping someone could answer this:

POWERFUL CHARGE You can charge with extra force. When you charge, if your melee attack hits, you deal an extra 1d8 points of damage (if you are Medium size). For Large creatures, the extra damage is 2d6; for Huge, 3d6; for Gargantuan, 4d6; and for Colossal, 6d6.
The question is: When you treat yourself one category larger, is that only for damage or for all effects of the charge? For example, if this charge was a part of a bull rush, would a medium character get a +4 size bonus?
Thanks.

I'd say no. Because of the "as powerful charge" you only get to be treated as one category larger for the purpose of determining the bonus damage.

Q 1178: With Radiant Servant of Pelor, the two following abilities:
Quote:
Empower Healing (Ex): When a radiant servant of
Pelor of at least 2nd level casts a domain spell from the
Healing domain, that spell is affected
as though by the Empower Spell
feat. This spell does not use up a
higher-level slot.
Supreme Healing (Ex): When a radiant servant of
Pelor who is at least 10th level casts a domain spell from the
Healing domain, that spell is affected as though by both the
Empower Spell and the Maximize Spell feats. The spell does
not use up a higher-level slot.
it means I MUST have the healing domain and cast the spells from those extra domain slots to qualify for these feats right?

Your question is actually number 1178, there was just an older question being answered, causing confusion. So I'm answering you, but bolding 1178 instead of 1156 to try and get the numbers fixed.
A 1178: Yes. It specifies that only the domain spells are affected, so if you don't have the Healing domain those abilities are worthless to you.

In this case, your original response contained a misstatement, since you said Effective Character Level, rather than Character Level. I agree that the latter is the answer supported by the text.

But since PCs use their effective character level (rather than their actual character level) to determine their WBL, NPCs ought to do the same.

Q1179 Does Spontaneous Casting affect casting time at all? Am unclear on the function
-
Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
A 1179
Spontaneous casting only affect casting time when using metamagic. Metamagic used by a spontaneous caster always takes at least a full round action i.e. no Quickened spells for spontaneous casters.
Otherwise the difference is in spell preparation or lack thereof. A preparing caster needs to decide which spell goes into which spell slot every day. A spontaneous caster does not. He can simply decide which spell to use. He is only limited by his spells per day.
Example:
Both casters know only Magic missile and Shield. Both get 3 level 1 spells per day.
A preparing caster would have to decide how often to prepare both spells. 2 magic missliles, 1 shield, or 3 magic missiles or whatever.
A spontaneous caster could decide spontaneously for which spell to use each of his spells per day

Q 1180 A wizard guide I read suggested the spell Nerveskitter, and implies you can cast it on yourself. However, the spell description only talks about "Your ally". Can you cast this spell on yourself?
-
Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
A 1180: Yes.
Per the glossary
Quote:
ally
A creature friendly to you. In most cases, references to "allies" include yourself.

Q 1182: If you see a caster casting a Silent Image or any other illusion spell and see for example a wall where there wasn't one previously, is that enough proof to determine that it is an illusion? As in, you are in a room and suddenly the caster makes an illusion of a wall in front of you, blocking line of sight. Can you automatically say it is a illusion and proceed to walk in, or do you need to take an action to interact with it to disbelieve it?

DM call.
I'd give him the save immediately because he has every reason to suspect an illusion, but it's not a guaranteed pass.

Unless you make a successful Spellcraft check to identify that the spell cast was an illusion, you would be just as likely to believe the character has conjured an actual wall. You could fairly easily disprove the wall's reality by tapping on it or something, but this would constitute an "interaction" which gives you the Will save to disbelieve; the GM would have to decide whether doing this requires an action or can be done for free. He might let you make an Intelligence check to "guess" that spellcasters often produce illusions and that conjuring a real wall would be far more difficult, but if you fail such a check or aren't allowed to make one, he might prohibit your character from trying to walk through the wall if he's done nothing to assure himself that it isn't solid (unless he's the type to routinely ram straight into walls he believes are solid just in case they aren't, in which case he should definitely be suffering damage when he indulges this habit). Really, it's all DM's call on this one.

Q1183
If you gain a level in a prc that advances your cleric spellcasting do those levels stack for domain special powers? For example, if im a cleric 3/church inquisitor 5 and i had the strength domain, would i get +3 str or +8 str?

The PRC does not advance your actual cleric level for any purpose. It only causes your spellcasting to advance "as if" you had gained a cleric level, so your caster level, number of spells per day, maximum spell level and so forth will increase, but calculations related to your actual cleric level (including domain powers as well as Turn Undead and the like) will not be affected, because "you do not gain any other benefit of a cleric level" or however they phrased it.

Q1183 cont.
Then how does it work when you get a domain from a class that isn't cleric? For example contemplative via favoured soul entry or something.
Edit: I know how the spell availability works, I'm specifically wondering about the domain granted powers that refer to 'cleric level'

Presumably not very well. Sometimes, without saying "sorcerers cannot enter, wizard levels are mandatory", they make a PRC which just plain isn't any good for sorcerers and just has the unwritten requirement that you have to be a wizard or you'll never want that class (well maybe not "never", but functionally so). If you want to try and qualify for a Cleric-based class as a Favored Soul (nevermind why you would even want to try, given that FSes get every spell a level later than Clerics, and thus take longer to qualify for anything that demands divine spells of a level higher than 1st), then you may just have to put up with some of your stuff sucking, unless you can talk the DM into ruling more generously. This being the RAW thread, though, I am not aware of any RAW which would specify that you do add non-cleric levels to a stat which simply says "cleric level" in how to calculate it. So, absent any such specification, you can't.

well, the thing is, they devised rules for non clerics getting domains and everything, but I've never seen anything concerned with this.

Many domains have a granted power which doesn't calculate based on cleric level. The ones that do...well maybe the designers of those books assumed there was a way but failed to provide one. Or maybe there is actually a way and I don't know it.
