Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
Except through other common, more permanent means (wearing a continuous Ring of Enlarge Person, having Enlarge Person Permanencied), both of which are both permanent and temporary (you can wear a continuous Ring of Enlarge Person for the entire week that leveling would take you if your DM specified that it would take a week, and then take it off thereafter; as long as you are wearing the ring at the time of level-up, whenever that is, you qualify).
So let's change the parameters slightly: instead of qualifying through Mountain Rage (which is a specific and narrow window, but isn't necessarily part of my question so much as it is the build that inspired it), let's say that this character qualifies for a level of War Hulk by wearing a continuous Ring of Enlarge Person to become Large all the way up to, and through, level-up... And then takes the ring off. What then? If he puts the ring back on, does he regain the class features that were lost prior?Homebrew!

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
The RAW answer is that you don't lose War Hulk class features by no longer qualifying for the class. If you want the nuances that go into why people commonly interpret it otherwise, then honestly, this question is enough for its own thread. It doesn't really fall into simple or RAW anymore.

Q733
Can a character using the Drow Fighter ACF (DotU) also use the Sneak Attack Fighter and/or Thug ACFs from Unearthed Arcana? Why/why not (just so I understand and don't come here with more questions)?

A733 (partial)
The Drow Fighter ACF can definitely be used in conjunction with the Sneak Attack fighter ACF, as the two trade separate features (the Sneak Attack ACF trades out feats, while the Hit-and-Run ACF trades out heavy armor and shield proficiency). I don't think it can be used in conjunction with the Thug ACF, as they trade the same features (the Thug ACF trades out medium and heavy armor proficiency, as well as shield proficiency, and the Hit-and-Run ACF trades out heavy armor and shield proficiencies).Homebrew!

Q734
Can I use the Iaijitsu skill while drawing daggers to throw? Oriental Adventures has the following to say on the skill use:
If you attack a flat-footed opponent immediately
after drawing a melee weapon, you can deal extra damage,
based on the result of an Iaijutsu Focus check.
It doesn't specify it needs to be a melee attack, only to draw a melee weapon. A dagger is a melee weapon, but I'll use it to make a ranged attack.My personal folder is a graveyard of ideas, stuck in their dream phase.The "DM won't kill us" attitude is a bubble that sometimes needs to be bursted.Avatar courtesy of Linklele

I believe this was covered by Curmudgeon earlier in the thread. My recollection is that the ruling was this: If your attack with the dagger is a ranged attack, the dagger is a ranged weapon, regardless of whether it could have been used for melee instead. There was some special case involving two weapons that might have been an exception but I don't recall the details; with only one dagger I'm pretty sure it was a definite "no".

Q 735
The spell Heart's Ease from the Book of Exalted Deeds is Permanent in Duration, and cures a wide range of conditions.
Suppose that a character is affected by the Insanity spell, and in addition has suffered 2 Wisdom damage. A Cleric casts Heart's Ease on the afflicted character, curing the Insanity and Wisdom damage.
Since Heart's Ease is Permanent, the character is still under it's effect.
A. Suppose the character is subjected to the Insanity spell again. Is the character immune due to the ongoing effect of Heart's Ease, a spell which "cures confusion and insanity"?
B. Same question for Wisdom damage.
C. Suppose Heart's Ease is dispelled. Does the Insanity return? What about the Wisdom damage?Lord Raziere herd I like Blasphemy, so Urpriest Exalted as a Malefactor

A 736
You can execute those maneuvers while wielding a reach weapon, but you probably wouldn't like the results. Adamantine Hurricane is explicit in applying only to adjacent creatures you threaten, so wielding a reach weapon and not threatening adjacent squares will simply waste that maneuver. Mithral Tornado requires you to make an attack against all adjacent opponents, so you would be forced to use unarmed strikes if you wielded only a reach weapon. That's the case even if you would provoke attacks of opportunity for every one of those unarmed strikes.
A 738 No.
An attack of opportunity is always a single melee attack into a square you threaten. Poison Spray is an area effect, not an attack, and also does not threaten.

Q740
If a creature has Psi-Like abilities which are automatically augmented to its Effective Manifester Level, does the creature have the ability to choose among all the augmentation options that the EML allows it, or does it always produce the PLA with a particular augmentation option? Most psionic creatures' statblocks seem to list one particular version of a power as the PLA, but it isn't clear whether this is meant to be a default, typical choice or the only legal option.
For example, Psionic Dominate offers the option to augment it in a wide range of ways. When an aboleth uses its Psionic Dominate PLA, augmented up to its EML of 13, does it always have to affect "any creature, 24 hours", or can it choose, say, "humanoids only, two targets, one day per manifester level", and enslave an entire six-person party for almost two weeks within three rounds?
Well just keep in mind that, however much you trust the prices listed in the PHB, Permanency was (probably) priced with full awareness that it could be dispelled. The designers probably did not assume that EVERYONE will cast Dispel Magic on EVERYTHING they fight, though one can certainly posit a belief that they should have.

Q742
What happens when you make an apparently-legal charge and you are interrupted (say, by an invisible creature in your straight-line path). Is your movement stopped and the action forfeited, on account of being surprised? Can you just charge the 'whatever is in my way' and roll the miss chance? What options are there?

Q 743
Are standing from prone and moving out of a threatened square two separate opportunities for an AoO? For example if I have a reach weapon and enough AoOs in a round, can I take an AoO for a person standing up 10ft away and then take another AoO if they attempt to move?Last edited by Leekos; 2012-08-22 at 09:39 AM.

The srd say yes, you are performing a distracted act (stand from prone) and a move (move away).
However the second one can prevented by taking a 5-foot step before starting to move.
Edit: no 5-foot step, my bad.
Spoiler
Combat Reflexes and Additional Attacks of Opportunity
If you have the Combat Reflexes feat you can add your Dexterity modifier to the number of attacks of opportunity you can make in a round. This feat does not let you make more than one attack for a given opportunity, but if the same opponent provokes two attacks of opportunity from you, you could make two separate attacks of opportunity (since each one represents a different opportunity). Moving out of more than one square threatened by the same opponent in the same round doesn’t count as more than one opportunity for that opponent. All these attacks are at your full normal attack bonus.

A 743, correction
They cannot take a 5' step and then move in the same turn. You can take a 5' step if you use your Move action to stand from prone.Dex

Crawling
You can crawl 5 feet as a move action. Crawling incurs attacks of opportunity from any attackers who threaten you at any point of your crawl.
Unless the character has a listed crawl speed, or some other means of moving without getting up from prone (burrowing, perhaps) they cannot withdraw without getting up from prone.Last edited by mattie_p; 2012-08-22 at 11:26 AM.

It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.
If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).
The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

If your movement leading up to a charge attack is interrupted, you fail to execute a charge. This happens if you didn't Spot a square of difficult terrain on the way, for instance. If there is an invisible creature blocking the path to your intended target you cannot instead charge the invisible creature.If you don’t have line of sight to the opponent at the start of your turn, you can’t charge that opponent.A creature can squeeze past an opponent while moving but it can’t end its movement in an occupied square.
You can squeeze through or into a space that is at least half as wide as your normal space. Each move into or through a narrow space counts as if it were 2 squares, and while squeezed in a narrow space you take a -4 penalty on attack rolls and a -4 penalty to AC.
