A 375
I think its best to think of the table as a series of limits to your movements when flying. You still use the normal rules (every other diagonal move costs 10 ft instead of 5 ft.) applied to a 3-d grid but you have limits.
For an average maneuverability character:
-You must move at least half your flight speed forward to remain airborne.
-You can turn 45 degrees every time you move 5 ft. forward.
-You can use 5 ft. of movement to turn in place 45 degrees.
-You can turn no more than 90 degrees in place.
-You can climb no more than half you move speed in a move action.
-You can descend at twice you speed.
-You must move at least 5fts forward before switching between up and down movement.
-Finally the tricky one witch requires trig to set a limit. Just going to use a picture
Spoiler
Edit: 3-d movement can really bog down play. House rules are probably the way to go.Last edited by NeoPhoenix0; 2013-07-06 at 04:44 PM.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXIII
Q378- Considering the wording of the last sentence of the Enlarge Spell metamagic feat, what effects does it supply (if any) to a "Weapon Emulation" spell (Flame Dagger, Moon Blade, Thunderlance, and the like), considering that the
weaponspell has a range defined by distance?

A 378
It does nothing to such spells since it explicitly doesn't increase the ranges of such spells and increasing ranges is the only effect it has.
Q 379
Are unarmed strikes considered natural weapons?Last edited by NeoPhoenix0; 2013-07-06 at 05:11 PM.

A379- No. Table 7-5 on page 116 of the Players Handbook lists it as a Simple weapon. As such, they accrue iterative attacks which Natural Weapons do not.

Q380
If a creature with Vow of Poverty forcibly had an instantly acting item put on them (like a Rogue slipping a Ring of Freedom of Movement on their finger), would they lose the benefits of their Vow, even if they immediately removed it and did not benefit from its use?
What if a Cursed Item was placed on them under similar circumstances, so they couldn't remove the item?
Similarly, could a wearer of a Cursed Item that they didn't want but couldn't remove take Vow of Poverty?

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXIII
A 379 [correction] Yes.
Unarmed strikes are natural weapons, which have the unique property of allowing iterative attacks as manufactured weapons do. (Being on the Weapons table just stipulates that it's a weapon, not that it's a manufactured weapon.) Some more extensive quotes from the rules to reinforce Urpriest's point:Originally Posted by Align WeaponOriginally Posted by Magic WeaponOriginally Posted by Magic FangOriginally Posted by Dragon Magic, page 101
The Monk class allows their unarmed strike to also be treated as a manufactured weapon. However, I think it's pretty obvious that an unarmed strike isn't the product of a blacksmith, but rather a natural weapon.
A 380
The Vow of Poverty rules are simple and unyielding.You may not, however, “borrow” a cloak of resistance or any other magic item from a companion for even a single round
A 381 Yes.
The Balance check to resist being tripped replaces the usual Dexterity or Strength check. An ability check is always just 1d20 + the appropriate ability modifier, so the size modifier specified in the trip rules is not part of the ability check which you're replacing. Instead, the size modifier is added separately.Last edited by Curmudgeon; 2013-07-07 at 03:16 AM.

Q 384
If I'm hiding behind an unaware enemy, and I UMD a buffing wand (Like True Strike or Wraithstrike), does the enemy become unequivocally aware of me at that point? What about a Casting Glove? Wand Chamber?
Edit: Had one more question.
Q 385
What's the equation to find out the price of a continuous use magic spell on a weapon/armor? (I remember duration of a spell had something to do with it...)Last edited by Corinath; 2013-07-07 at 10:31 AM.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXIII
A 385
According to the SRD, (Spell level)*(Caster level)*2000. If the duration of the spell is measured in rounds, multiply the cost by 4. If the duration is 1 minute/level, multiply it by 2. If the duration is 10 minutes/level, multiply it by 1.5. If it has a duration of 24 hours or greater, divide the cost in half.
A 386
Yes. Templates modify the traits of the base creature, so unless it specifically takes the bonus feat away, you still get it.Last edited by Mr.Bookworm; 2013-07-07 at 11:51 AM.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXIII
A379 Contention/Correction/Clarification-
Ask your DM.
If an Unarmed Strike is a Natural Weapon (upper case, defined game term) with the special rule of it gains Iterative Attacks like any other Simple weapon, any Full-Attack Action made by any character could be followed by an Unarmed Strike at their full BAB -5 to be used as a Secondary Natural Weapon.
This interpretation gives leeway toward abuse.
The interpretation that it is a Simple weapon, treated as a natural weapon (lower case, referential to concept) for magical effects and enhancements, does not muddy the waters of the system as it stands. While not in a game book, Skip Williams, co-designer of D&D 3.0 wrote an article on the Wizard's website doling out info on the mechanics of Unarmed Strikes. In part one, he defines an Unarmed Strike as such:
Unarmed Attack/Unarmed Strike: These two terms are used interchangeably to describe an attack with an appendage that is not a natural weapon, such as a human's fist. An unarmed attack usually deals nonlethal damage and provokes an attack of opportunity from the creature being attacked.
Before we move on, it's worth pointing out that a character making an unarmed attack, even with the Improved Unarmed Strike feat, does not have natural weapons. Nor is a natural weapon a substitute for the Improved Unarmed Strike feat.
As we saw in Part One, unarmed strikes allow iterative attacks and natural weapons do not.
A feat that requires natural weaponry as a prerequisite, such as Multiattack, doesn't work with unarmed strikes. Likewise, having a natural weapon is not a substitute for the Improved Unarmed Strike feat. For example, you don't meet the Improved Unarmed Strike prerequisite for the Deflect Arrows feat if you just have a natural weapon.Last edited by Garret Dorigan; 2013-07-07 at 12:21 PM.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXIII
Re: A 379 Contention/Correction/ClarificationI'm afraid you've mis-characterized "the special rule". What it actually does is categorize this particular natural strike to take it out of the realm of secondary natural attacks:
An unarmed strike is always considered a light weapon.

A 384 [correction] Maybe.
In D&D there is no "hiding behind" someone, because the game has no "facing". That is, all creatures are assumed to be checking in all directions around them in every 6 second round. If you're hiding from another creature you've somehow satisfied all the requirements to be allowed to make a Hide check:
- line of sight (so there can be an opposed Spot check)
- cover/concealment
- enemy not observing you
Originally Posted by Spot

If the DM uses a more Hide-friendly interpretation of "something", then your enemy will need to use a move action Spot recheck to look for whatever they might have previously failed to notice. That's a possibility for some enemies who are specifically looking for trouble; for instance, a guard standing on watch has nothing better to do than make one move action Spot and one move action Listen recheck every single round. Or, they might have the Quick Reconnoiter feat (Complete Adventurer) and get one of each of those as a free action every round.
Finally, even though you're hidden, you can still be heard. Listen has similar rules regarding trying to hear something the creature failed to notice previously, opposed by your Move Silently check.Last edited by Curmudgeon; 2013-07-07 at 12:59 PM.

Using a wand is not silent so an enemy can use a listen check to try and hear you activate a wand.

wall of stone-no
major creation-yes
Both the quintessence power and wall of stone spell are instantaneous so they are mundane materials without a psionic/magic aura.
Major creation has a duration based on the material and the material itself is part of the ongoing spell so it has a magical aura.Extended signature (Includes Giantitp regulars as... links, avatar showcase, homebrew, and other stuff.)

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXIII
Q 389: If a deity picks the Automatic Metamagic (Fortify) as a Salient Divine Ability, does that mean that the deity can increase its caster level as much as it wants?
Let me explain: If you have the Fortify Spell feat, you can increase the level of the slot you use for the spell, and for every spell level of increase, the Caster Level has a +2 increase.
But the Automatic Metamagic (Fortify) allows the deity to add the Fortify Metamagic to a spell without increasing its level, so, can a deity prepare a "Fortify x200" spell, and cast it with +400 Caster Level?.

Yes, that appears to work. But it seems that you are misreading Fortify Spell- it does not increase Caster Level in general. It only increases your check to beat Spell Resistance; a deity with Automatic (Fortify Spell) could beat any finite Spell Resistance, but would not gain extra range, area, damage, or any other caster-level dependent benefits.
