    A194 No, metamagic rods apply metamagic effects to spells being cast. If you're using a wand, you're not casting a spell.

    Q195
    After one enters a stance employed by a fighting style a style feat embodies, is there any condition, effect, or situation caused by an outside force that can cause one to drop or end the stance? (Style Feats, Ultimate Combat, pg 78) Example: A monk is first to act in combat, he has all three of the Crane Style feats. He uses a swift action to adopt the stance from the Crane Style. Does he remain in this stance until he dies and/or combat ends? Or is there a way an outside force can cause him to drop the stance?

    Q196: Would a creatures natural immunity to polymorph be in conflict with a natural change shape ability, or would a natural polymorph ability ignore the immunity?

    A195: The only condition that deactivates your stance is activating another stance, or effects that explicitly state that they change your stance. I am not aware if those exist.

    A196 An immunity always takes priority but since this is a rather unique case the GM might be inclined to make an exception. How would you even achieve that anyway?

    @196: With a custom creature. However, proteans to have immunity to polymorph while being shapechangers unless they want to.

    A196+ Yes, the only way around an immunity is when the rules explicitly say so, like in the case of proteans. If making a custom creature then a similar rules provision should be added for it to avoid confusion later.

    Q197) Can a Crag Linnorm skeleton fly?

    Q198) How do I know/determine if a creature flies magically in general? (it's for the skeleton template)

    Q199) Would mystic theurge let a character control more HD undeads?
    For example: cleric 3/necromancer 3/mystic theurge 2
    would have caster level 5 + 5 = 10

    A197 Yes, since it doesn't use wings to fly, it should be able to do so as a skeleton.

    A198 See Flight under Universal Monster Rules:
    Quote Originally Posted by SRD

    A199 Yes, assuming you can find enough corpses, you should be able to control up to a maximum of 30x4 HD at level 20.

    Edit: You should also note that these are separate "HD pools", when you cast Animate Dead as a necromancer, it can't exceed 15x4 HD. You can't control the excess with the cleric's HD pool, you can however use Command Undead to assume control of the excess but this is again a separate pool.

    The closest thing I can think of is the Coven Hex for the Witch class. Unlike Circle Magic (which tops out at CL 40), the only limit to this caster level booster is the number of witches you can fit in a 30' radius.

    Q 201

    Aura of Heroism (Su): At 8th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura of heroism for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. Using this ability is a swift action. Allies in the area are treated as if they were under the effects of heroism.
    Is the 30-foot aura mentioned above measured as a radius or a diameter?

    I don't see it expicitly written anywhere, but are spells are typically measured by radius rather than diameter, so I would go with that.

    A200

    No, and I belive Red Wizard isn't open content, so there will never be an official conversion.

    It says "10-foot square" so 2X2 sounds right. 4x4 would be a twenty foot square.
    Q203
    Here's a weird interaction question.
    Dragonbane Aura grants a bonus on saving throws against dragons breath to allies equal to the bonus from your aura of courage when in your aura of courage.
    Fair enough, makes sense.
    But here's where things get tricky. There is another feat, Fearless Aura, that grants allies immunity to fear effects when in your aura of courage.
    Does this mean that with for Paladin that has both feats, your allies, within the area, are immune to dragon breath effects?

    @202 Just thought I'd check in case it was like the radius of a circle.

    A203 No, since immunity is no longer a bonus to checks. It's either the original bonus since nothing says that it no longer applies, or it's no bonus at all if the GM wants to argue that immunity replaces the bonus completely but that would make the feat useless.

    A 201 Addendum

    Aha! It's in the Beastiary, under Monster Introduction

    Aura: If the creature has a particular magical or exceptional aura, it is listed here along with its radius from the creature and, as applicable, a save DC to resist the aura's effects.

    Q204 Can I use Spellcraft for the Craft Construct feat? The general rules says spellcraft or other appropriate skill(usually). And the feat says it works like other item creation feats which all can use spellcraft.

    So there is no need for a Item crafter to put skillpoints in craft skills. 'Need' in the sense it can't limit his ability to craft items.

    Q205 Does having extra arms actually provide any benefit to grappling? I was considering playing an alchemist 2/Tetori Monk X, for a grapple focused build with extra arms and I could not find anything about it.

    Q206: Suppose I make a first level sorcerer with the elemental (fire) bloodline and give him Burning Hands as one of his starting spells. He then gets Burning Hands (a version that's technically of the energy type of his bloodline but since it's fire anyway it's identical) as one of his bonus spells at 3rd level.

    Can he then switch the original Burning Hands away for some other spell at 4th level (without losing the bonus spell) or not?

    A206 (Deleted old post; I misread the question)

    Since bloodline spells are "in addition to the number of spells given on the sorcerer table," so I think, technically, you have Burning Hands listed twice for spells known. That would allow you to switch the first with another spell known at 4th level.

    A206 Technically there's no rules for this, so talk to your GM. Since you can't know the same spell twice, you can't replace "one of them", the only question is, if you decide to replace burning hands, can you retroactively benefit from the bonus spell? You really should have thought of this beforehand.

    Can a witch use the prehensile hair hex to deliver touch attacks on targets 10' away? Logically it would seem an obvious "yes," but I can't seem to find a good RAW definition of what constitutes a "touch attack."

    A208 This is the only relevant part:

    [...] and she can use it as a secondary natural attack [...]
    Any unarmed/natural attack can be used to deliver a touch attack, so yes, you can do that.
