I know I could just cook up some special whistle or something, but I wanted to see if there was something official.
    Maybe I could just have her train it with said whistle to 'come', and as long as it's in ear shot it'll work..?
    Still though, looking for official resources.
    A51: She could have magical reins of reduce animal so the horse can come with her into the dungeon. 12,000gp is a permanent one at will but if you make it maybe 2-3 times a day for 3-hours each charge than the price knocks down to maybe 6k. Apart from that I could not find a wondrous item that would do any dismissing or anything.

    Q52: Does an empower spell boost the amount of creatures summoned by summon monster/nature's ally. If so would it be 1d4+1 than double the result or is it 2d4+1?

    A34: Since the heal skill can be used to cure disease and poison [DC is disease DC] than most would argue that it can be used to detect illness too.

    edit: Turns out that spell was 3rd edition Oriental Adventures.
    Still a DC20 heal check is as close enough to a rule as you could probably find since looking through the complete books, there isn't any validation as to what you need to roll to detect a disease with just heal.

    A52 Yes, but since Empower does not double it's trickier to figure out. Technically it would be 1½d4+1, or perhaps 1d4+1d2+1, although that might not be quite accurate. Note that you do not increase the static amount; only "variable, numeric" parts are included, so the +1 remains the same.

    Do you have a quote on the statement that you have to separate static numbers from variable numbers on the same effect? 1d4+1 is still numeric and variable. The SRD only says:"All variable, numeric effects of an empowered spell are increased by one-half." To me empowering results in (1d4+1)*1.5 so between 3 and 7 because of rounding down.

    Whoops yeah forgot it was 50% more. I agree the 1 stays the same since it is not variable (same way that empowered true strike would be +20 and not +30).
    Mostly I am curious as to wether I add 50% to whatever I could roll (1d2 in this case) or I roll first than increase my rolled result by 50%.

    As per the detect disease spell..
    Spoiler
    Show
    You can determine the exact disease with a DC 20 Wisdom check. A character with the Heal skill may try a DC 20 Heal check if the Wisdom check fails, or may try the Heal check prior to the Wisdom check.


    Without detecting a disease or poison you can still do the same thing but obviously you need to know that the person was diseased to begin with (being bitten should be enough though).
    For normal illnesses like colds and the like, it is upto the DM to set the DC.
    But this check is only allowed after casting the spell. A spell from the D&D-wiki, no less. I guess there is no clear RAW answer. I'll make a separate thread

    You can only add the 50% after rolling, since you do not know the value of the variable numeric effect yet.

    A 53: It's an artifact; It doesn't have a set cost, lest artificers try to make it. If your DM wants you to acquire one, what percentage of your characters WBL it should count as isn't a hard and fast rule. What it would sell for is likewise entirely via GM discretion.

    Q55
    According to printed text in the Monster Manual 1, while Plant creatures are not subject to critical hits (which, correct me if I'm wrong, also means they ignore Sneak Attack), they can be flanked for the to-hit bonus. Does this remain true or has it been errata'ed?

    I've taken the liberty of re-posting this, because I'm interested in the answer to this question, if there is one that can be found in (or deduced from) the RAW.

    A55: Flanking has relation to immunity to critical hits- Flanking is based around a tactical inability to defend from multiple angles, while immunity to critical hits is due to a lack of especially vulnerable parts.

    Re: 55

    That's right, they have nothing to do with each other. You can flank anything (except certain creatures with specific exceptions), including Plants, Constructs, Oozes, Elementals and Undead. Flanking will not trigger Sneak Attack against these creatures because they are immune, but you still get the bonus.

    Q57:
    Does having something as something count as the second something when qualifying for PRCs? Because of that odd wording, I'll try using a couple examples.

    ex1:Can a Divine Minion qualify for Master of Many Forms, because it's fast wildshape is "as an 11th-level druid", thus allowing it to satisfy the requirements even though the ability is from a template?

    ex2:Would having haste as an SLA make you able to enter Swiftblade, since SLAs are "as the spell".

    A 57 Usually no.
    Special: Wild shape class feature.
    Fast Wild Shape as a template feature is not Wild Shape as a class feature, on two counts.
    Spellcasting: Ability to cast haste.
    Spell-like abilities are not cast, so this one fails the requirement as well.
    Some creatures are actually sorcerers of a sort. They cast arcane spells as sorcerers do, using components when required. In fact, an individual creature could have some spell-like abilities and also cast other spells as a sorcerer.

    A57: clarification Complete Arcane, p72 states :
    For example, a prestige class with a spellcasting requirement of “Must know (or be able to cast) darkness” is met by a warlock who chooses darkness as one of her invocations, or by any creature with darkness as a spell-like ability.
    Your haste SLA might have difficulty with "Special: Must have spent the entire previous level using all 3rd level spell slots to exclusively cast haste," though.

    Q 58

    This has probably been asked to death, but what do you DM's do with Divine Metamagic in this particular regard: Persistent Spell costs a spell slot 6 levels higher than the spell you are going to persist. If the player doesn't have access yet to spell slots that high, do you let them Persist spells anyways?
    Do you allow them to simply burn up the necessary Turn Attempts, or do you enforce that they must have attained high enough spell slots before being allowed to burn up the Turn Attempts?

    Divine Metamagic says nothing about having a high enough level spell slot to normally apply the metamagic feat in question. You are adding a requirement where none exists.

    Q 59: Say I've got the Knockback feat, 30ft of reach (spiked chain), and enough attacks of opportunity. If I hit someone, can I knock them back, and hit them for moving? Could I do it again and again?

    Q 60: If I use Knockback, is there a limit to which square I can knock my foe into?

    You do not get to make Attacks of Opportunity against the one you pushed back.

    A 60

    The limit to which square you can knock your opponent is the strength check difference by which you beat him. Another limit is any kind of terrain that blocks the forced movement (like a wall or similar obstacle) or ends it (like a hole). Unless you have the Dungeoncrasher Alternate Class Feature from Dungeonscape or anything similar to that, the enemy would then be unharmed when his movement ends at the wall. If the defender is bull rushed over a pit, his movement also ends, and the defender then falls down, possibly taking falling damage.

    Knockback lets you make a bull rush maneuver with your weapon. Even though you do not move into the enemy's space, their movement is still limited to bull rush movement: just backward (away from you and your weapon). You don't get to slide them willy-nilly around the battlefield.

    Lest there be misinformation, I will correct you: The monster manual definitions of creature types Ooze and Elemental specifically say "Not subject to flanking or critical hits". The reason for my question was that Plants, along with Constructs and Undead (I think, I'd have to check those two but they both tend to have faces so I'd assume), simply say "Not subject to critical hits" and do not mention flanking.

    DMM says that the spell does not require/fill a higher level slot. So you would not need one. You would need 7 turn undead attempts though.

    You could not normally persist a spell if you did not have the appropriate slot, but with DMM you only need a slot of the unmodified spell, which you obviously have.

    Oh and persistent spell (and all other metamagic feats) do not require you to have higher level slots, you just have to prepare the metamagicked spells in the appropriate (higher) slot.
