Q453 If I am grappling can I breathe my breath weapon and then try to escape the grapple? If not can I breathe and attack with my natural weapons? These are all asking about the same round.

The rules are pretty explicit, what you can do while being grappled. Taking a standard action to activate a breath weapon is not included.

Q 454
If one fails a save for a web spell, but then teleports out of the area of the web (say, with a psionic dimension door, which has no somatic components), are they still unable to move? Still entangled? Completely free?

Q 455
Is a beholder's eye ray attack considered a natural weapon?
I ask because whether it is or not seems to determine whether they can shoot eye rays while grappling using the restrictive list of things you can do while grappling
http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/spe...ks.htm#grapple
which given their mediocre grapple check means that should be a very effective tactic.

Q 456
How many size classes larger does a creature have to be before you can no longer sneak attack it? (Reaching it's vitals being a pre-requisite).
Is there an RAW answer to this? Or is it on a case by case basis?
(I'm asking because I might make a particularly small rogue, and don't want to short change myself in melee)

It's entirely up to the DM, so if you're worried about it coming up a lot, consider making a ranged rogue.
I don't think I've ever seen it come up, personally; you can usually handwave a "I slash open the major veins in his foot" solution and most DMs I've played with either feel bad about denying the rogue his sneak attack or don't care enough about that bit of minutiae to keep track of it.Awesome Cyborg Doom Monkey avatar by Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXIII
Water contains much less oxygen than air does (5-15mg/L vs 270-290mg/L), and lungs are considerably more efficient at extracting oxygen from air than from a liquid anyway, so without some gas to breathe out (besides the tiny quantities of CO2 and O2) it wouldn't work at all.

1. No
2. Hardening affects an items hardness. Hardness is a property of objects. Objects are not creatures.
3. Find a way to become an object

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXIII
A458 clarification: Hardness is not an exclusive property of objects, but hardening targets an "item" (presumably a careless synonym of "object") has SR:Yes (object), and affects "materials" (again, presumably a careless reference to objects). Therefore, while it is not impossible for a creature to have hardness, it is impossible for a creature to have hardening cast on it.

tuggyne is correct. Animated Objects are an example of creatures with hardness. Animated Objects are not playable by RAW due to their LA-.
In regards to element 3 of your question I would suggest finding a creature with hardness that is playable. Such a creature can probably be found.Last edited by nyjastul69; 2013-07-12 at 09:02 PM.

Q 459
Can a Hengeyokai speak Common and other languages in animal form?
Q 460
Does a Hengeyokai drop all of their items after transforming, or do they merge with them as a Polymorph other?
(It says to delete Polymorph in only the first part of the errata but not the 2nd part. So I am confused on if the character still merges with their items or drops them.)

Re: A 427, Re: A 438: Contention; A 444The D&D game doesn't define jump; it merely tells, in terms of game mechanics, how you use the Jump skill when you are capable of doing so. The definition is as usual:
jump
-verb (used without object)
1. to spring clear of the ground or other support by a sudden muscular effort; leap: to jump into the air; to jump out a window.

Q 462
The Touch of the Shadow Sun ability of the Shadow Sun Ninja PRC allows you to deal negative energy damage equal to your base unarmed damage + your Wis modifier. If you use the Combat Rhythm tactical option of the Stormguard Warrior feat before using the TotSS ability, does the +5 damage that is added next round to the ability count as "base unarmed damage" (so would you deal 5 or more points of negative energy damage with your unarmed strike than normal or would it be lethal/nonlethal damage)?

Q 463:
The feat Infernal Sorcerer Howl allows me to expend a spell slot that creates "a 30-foot cone of sonic energy." It then says that all opponents within this cone take 2d6 points of damage per the level of the spell slot that was extended, but does not mention a damage type. Does this count as sonic damage, or is it untyped?
Q 464:
Is there any way to change the elemental damage type of a special ability or feat? Basically, looking for something like Energy Substitution for things other than spells/powers.Optimization Showcase in the Playground

Repost, because it din't get answered earlier:
A 465 Maybe
I always thought the first only specifies the look and the second specifies the stats. IIRC every time the favored weapon is presented in that fashion, the first is not something you can find in any of the weapon tables. While there are natural tentacle attacks, they are not classified as amorphous.

I'm immune to poisons. Say, a lvl 9 Druid.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXIII
A 463 It's sonic damage.
The short description ("Expend spell slot to create cone of sonic energy") agrees with the longer feat text:You channel the fury of your infernal ancestors into a thunderous roar that blasts your enemies with sonic power.
...
Benefit: By expending one of your spell slots, you create a 30-foot cone of sonic energy.
A 466 You're clueless.Last edited by Curmudgeon; 2013-07-13 at 02:07 PM.

Q 467
If you cast hardening (on a valid target) multiple times, will it stack? It just says it "increases the hardness", instead of "grants an enhancement bonus" or anything like that.

Re: Q 448
The only Sacred Guardian template I know of is in Bestiary of Krynn Revised, a Dragonlance book. Except for the part of that supplement which updates information from Dragonlance Campaign Setting (such as that for Dragonspawn), the book is Dragonlance-only. As such, it's outside the scope of this D&D-specific thread.
A 449 0 XP.
All creatures start with 0 XP unless you're creating them for a game beginning at a higher level, in which case you should talk to your DM.
Re: Q 451
Again, this is a Dragonlance question, not a D&D question.
A 452 Yes.
All creatures, including Construct type creatures, have body slots. See Magic Item Compendium on page 219 for adjustments for non-Humanoid creatures, and talk to your DM about which body slots are missing.
A 465 additional infoOriginally Posted by Spiritual Weapon
A 467 No.
The duration of Hardening (Spell Compendium, page 109) is permanent, not instantaneous; it lasts only until dispelled. The standard spell stacking rules apply. You get the best improvement of all instances of Hardening rather than adding them.Last edited by Curmudgeon; 2013-07-13 at 03:45 PM.
