Ogres get 2 feats as part of their Racial Levels. Essentially receiving feats for for levels 1 and 3A single action cannot and should not define a character's alignment. While a single action can have an alignment, a character's alignment is the culmination of all actions taken, and most importantly the purpose and intent for why those actions were taken.

Q1499 What is the max level of ranks you can have in a skill if one class that you are multiclassed in has it as a class skill and the other class has it as a nonclass skill?

If you have any class with a given skill as a class skill, the maximum level for that skill is set to the class skill maximum forever. You do not need to actually put any ranks in the skill for this to happen. You still pay double for buying them from cross-class skills.

Okay, but now I have a follow up question
Q1500 What happens if you have a skill that was an crossclass skill and you put a few ranks in it, enough that you have gone pass the new class maximum when you multiclass to a new class?Avatar by Emperor Ing

A 1500 N/A.
You are incapable of acquiring skill ranks that exceed the maximum allowed.

A: 1500: Regardless of whether a skill is purchased as a class skill or a cross-class skill, if it is a class skill for any of your classes, your maximum rank equals your total character level + 3.
So, the "new class maximum" is the same as whatever the old, class-skill maximum, was.Last edited by hamishspence; 2013-04-29 at 04:16 PM.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
A 1500 continued:
If you bought ranks cross-class, and then switch to a class that has that as a class skill, your skill ranks don't increase. You just bought them inefficiently.
Q 1502:
If a monster has nonstandard damage of some sort, and the monster's size is increased, does the nonstandard damage increase as normal? The two specific examples I'm thinking of are monsters which do energy damage (like fire elementals) and monsters which do ability score damage (like dire weasels).
Q 1503:
If a warforged becomes a Dragonborn of Bahamut, it loses (among other things) its Composite Plating ability, and thus would presumably now be considered unarmored. Is the same true if the warforged has the Adamantium Body feat? Could this be used to make a Warforged Juggernaut monk, and keep the monk's abilities?Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.

you will still benefit from the adamantine feat. the feat itself prevents you from using druid stuff and anything you couldn't use in heavy armor.
Special: Unlike most feats, this feat must be taken at
1st level during character creation. Warforged druids
who take this feat cannot cast druid spells or use any
of the druid’s supernatural or spell-like class features.
Warforged characters with this feat do not gain the
benefit of any class feature prohibited to a character
wearing heavy armor.Last edited by NeoPhoenix0; 2013-04-29 at 08:18 PM.

A 1502 No.
Energy and other types of damage only increase with size when explicitly stated. The examples you listed do not have any statements of this sort. Most monsters increase damage only with increasing racial hit dice, not other types of size increase.

Q 1504:
"Using a whip provokes an attack of opportunity, just as if you had used a ranged weapon," but when making a disarm attempt, "(If you have the Improved Disarm feat, you don't incur an attack of opportunity for making a disarm attempt.)"
I know specific trumps general, but when making a disarm attempt with a whip with Improved Disarm, do you provoke an AoO or not?

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
A1504 If making a disarm attempt with a whip without Improved Disarm, you provoke not one but two AoOs: one for anyone who threatens your square, because you've used a whip, and one for whoever you're trying to disarm (and only them). Improved Disarm removes the second, but not the first. The clause "for making a disarm attempt" limits it.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
Hello.
Q 1505: Could a character (assuming that dm is plaing with custom item rules (as written by DMG)) imbue various "spell effect/spell like" [spell trigger/command word/Continuous] on an armor?
Q 1506: If he could, what's the ruling/rulings for counting the gp price?
Q 1507: What is the rule for adding other "spell effect/spell like" [spell trigger/command word/Continuous] on a magic item that already have one /more that one after it is crafted?

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
A1505: Yes. Magic armor is just another type of magic item, and there are existing examples of command word or continuous effects. (For instance, the Winged Shield precisely conforms to +3 heavy wooden shield with an additional 3 level * 5 CL * 1800 command word / (5/1 charges per day) * 1.5 uncustomary slot, for a total cost of 17257 gp, right down to the cp.)
A1506: As usual for Wondrous Items or similar. Note that because Craft Magic Arms and Armor does not have an entry indicating free-form estimation, you may need to select the Craft Wondrous Item feat as well in order to make such an item.
A1507: On the previously mentioned estimation table, multiply each of the lower item costs by 1.5 and add them all together.Projects: Homebrew, Gentlemen's Agreement, DMPCs, Forbidden Knowledge safety, and Top Ten Worst. Also, Quotes and RACSD are good.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
Re: A 1486 correctionThat's not a correction; rather it's a confusion on your part between caster level and spellcaster level. Improved Familiar is dependent on arcane spellcaster level, and improvements to caster level, but not spellcaster level, will not help to gain a more advanced familiar.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
Q1508: I think I may have asked this before, but it either wasn't answered or I can't remember the answer: how does Detect Magic interact with Supernatural and Spell-Like abilities? I'm specifically interested in whether it would detect a Barghest in one of its alternate forms (goblin or wolf), or whether a Hag Eye (from the Hag entry in the Monster Manual) would detect as magic, but am also curious about how it interacts with these types of abilities in general.
For the Hag Eye, I would assume it detects except that the Monster Manual entry specifies "[A Hag Eye] appears to be nothing more than a semiprecious stone, but a gem of seeing or other such effect reveals it as a disembodied eye" suggesting that it may appear to be a semiprecious stone to anything but True Seeing type effects. Or am I reading too much into that?Last edited by Mongrel; 2013-04-30 at 12:55 PM.

Q 1510
A rogue is made ethereal by a spell; sneaks up behind an enemy; inserts his currently ethereal blade in the enemy's back; spell is dismissed. Has the rogue just made a guaranteed hit with the blade?

Re: A 1486
I already did that in the original answer, here. Also see the D&D® Frequently Asked Questions document on page 30 for a clear answer which makes the distinction between these terms.
A 1510 additional info
Let's start by noting that this scenario is impossible in D&D because the game lacks "facing": it's impossible to "sneak up behind an enemy". It is possible to sneak up on an enemy using the Hide skill, but you cannot do so on a different plane of existence.Unlike incorporeal creatures, ethereal creatures are not present on the Material Plane.
...
An ethereal creature can see and hear into the Material Plane in a 60-foot radius, though material objects still block sight and sound. ... An ethereal creature can’t affect the Material Plane, not even magically.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
So, noob-esque question here, but I keep hearing about the tier system on this board. I was wondering, where can I find a full listing of the tiers?
Also some of the terminology such as RAW and MAD (Others as well, but those are the two that spring to mind off the top of my head) keep throwing me off. I've played D&D 3.5, and a few other games for a couple of years, but it's mostly been offline so I'm unfamiliar with a lot of these phrases.
