    A 144

    The tiny creature can walk through the Wind Wall, though there may be an issue with carried items. Creatures of size Tiny are only barred from passing if they are flying.
    Tiny and Small flying creatures cannot pass through the barrier.
    Solid objects may intrude into the space of the Wind Wall, but the spell description does not describe the effect as being either supportive of, or broken by, such objects. Absent such description, the spell functions as stated despite these objects intersecting its space.

    A 145 N/A

    This question cannot be answered, because there is no "10 foot gap created by the wall".

    A 146 No.

    According to Person_Man's X stat to Y bonus thread (a useful resource for such things), you cannot. If there is a way it isn't listed there, and I do believe his compilation is quite comprehensive.

    Being in wild shape form does not simply turn off the ability to cast spells. Typically, spells cannot be cast because they have verbal components you are unable to say, somatic components you can't execute, or material components that are now inaccessible as they have melded into your body. A Pearl of Speech will enable you to cast spells requiring verbal components while wildshaped, however spells that also require somatic or material components will still be unusable.

    A151: No. The Rogue ability states "When making a skill check with one of these skills, she may take 10 even if stress and distractions would normally prevent her from doing so." The wording of skill master does not override the specific rule for UMD: "Special: You cannot take 10 with this skill."

    Non-RAW you could houserule by continuing the pattern.
    20-23: 2d10
    24-27: 4d6 (since you go from 1d10 to 2d6 at 12th)

    A 154 DC 0 or less.

    The DC to hear people talking is 0.
    To cast a spell with a verbal (V) component, your character must speak in a firm voice.
    Your individual DM may decide on a lower DC to represent the ease of hearing someone using a firm voice rather than a normal conversational level.

    Q 156: With vow of poverty, the feats you get, they are called exalted feats, does this mean I can only chose from the exalted feats listed in Book of Exalted Deeds (or other splat books that list feats as EXALTED)?

    RAW, if you are an aberration you cannot (normally) take Inhuman Reach.
    Inhuman Reach requires Aberration Blood. Note thaat Blood is uppcercase, so we know it's actually referring to the feat with the same name.
    Aberrant Blood requires the Humanoid type.

    Q 158: See the following:

    Bonus Exalted Feats: At 1st level, an ascetic gets a bonus
    exalted feat, and another bonus feat at 2nd level and every 2
    levels thereafter. Unlike the other benefits of a vow of poverty,
    a character does not gain these bonus feats retroactively when
    he takes the Vow of Poverty feat; he only gains those bonus feats
    that apply for the levels he gains after swearing his vow. Thus,
    the bonus feat gained at 1st level is available only to humans
    who take both Sacred Vow and Vow of Poverty at 1st level.


    I am confused about the red text.

    What happens if say a race that doesn't have a bonus feat available? Like what if we're talking about a level 1 Gnome, or a level 1 Elan, something with out a bonus feat? Would they need something like a Flaw to offset it?

    That sentence means that while everything else in the table is retroactive, bonus exalted feats are not. A character gaining Vow of Poverty at level 9 would gain every benefit of the table, but would only gains the bonus exalted feats listed from level 9 onward.
    That means the only way to gain the bonus exalted feat listed as a 1st level benefit is to take both Sacred Wow and Vow of Poverty at 1st level, usually requiring a race with an "open" bonus feat at 1st level or a flaw.

    I'm certainly not trying to contest these modifiers; however, those apply to any Listen check, and have no particular significance to hearing a spell's verbal component. The answer about the base DC to hear a spellcaster (without situational modifiers) being 0 or less is correct, though. How much less than 0 is dependent on the extent to which an individual DM calculates someone using a strong voice is easier to hear than a voice at a normal conversational level.

    To my reading a firm voice just means you shouldn't be muttering and doesn't imply should be using an higher volume than normal conversation. I could be wrong there as i'm not a native enghish speaker.

    Q 159: Can a dragon currently using Alternate Form to take on a humanoid form benefit from its BAB to use a full attack? (For example, a bronze dragon old enough to use Alternate Form has a BAB of at least +12, which should enable it to have a +12/+7/+2 full attack action when armed?)

    Q 160: And, follow-up question, is four the maximum number of iterative attacks from BAB alone (not counting things like Two-Weapon Fighting, etc, giving more iterative attacks), even if said BAB goes above +20?
    I think I just failed a Spot check.

    The term "firm" is used as a synonym for "strong".

    Again, the actual DC will be decided by the individual DM.

    A 160 Yes.

    From page 305 of Player's Handbook:
    base attack bonus: An attack roll bonus derived from character class and level. Base attack bonuses increase at different rates for different character classes. A character gains a second attack when his or her base attack bonus reaches +6, a third with a base attack bonus of +11 or higher, and a fourth with a base attack bonus of +16 or higher. Base attack bonuses gained from different classes, such as when a character is a multiclass character, stack.
    There is no increase in the number of attacks beyond the one attained with BAB of +16.

    Alternate Form does not change the creature's BAB. Dragons capable of assuming Humanoid forms are proficient with all simple weapons, and may use them normally.

    A163 No. A ray is typically a ranged touch attack, though it may be a regular ranged attack instead. In either case, there is no reflex save to avoid the attack as the attack roll will determine whether it hits or misses.

    Q 165

    Does an Ur-Priest who wants to advance his spellcasting through a PRC have to remain evil?

    Q 166

    Most, maybe all, PRCs start with "To qualify to become a [PRC Name], a character must fulfill all the following criteria." Does that mean that to advance such a PRC you do no longer need to fulfill the critieria, unless the PRC has some rule about what happens if any criterion is no longer met?

    A 165: No. Lacking rules text on Ex-Ur-Priests (see Ex-Bards, Barbarians, Monks, Druids, Paladins for examples), and defaulting to the DMG rule on Prestige classes (must meet criteria for first level only) an Ur-Priest does not need to remain evil.

    A 166: Correct. Without an Ex-X section, other notes on the topic, and outside of Complete Warrior/Arcane. Otherwise, an Ur-Priest would be useless, as it grants the ability to cast divine spells while requiring the character to forever forsake previous divine casting ability.

    A 165 Dispute

    Complete arcane [p17] and Complete warrior [p16] state if a character doen't met the prerequisite of a prestige class anymore he loses all class benefits of the PRC, retaining only HDs, BaB and saves. While the sentence in CW falls under the "martial prestige classes" section, leading to believe it applies only to the classes presented in that book, the CA one is in "picking a prestige clsss", and nothing hints that it doesn't apply as a general rule.

    An Ur-priest who is no logner evil loses all benefits of the Ur-Priest PRC except for those noted, so cannot advance "spellcasting" with other PRCs.

    A 166

    Debtable. RAW seems to suggest you can still advance a PRC you did qualify for even if you no longer meet the prerequisites. Obviously you are only advancing BaB, saves and HDs (See A 165).
