A 573 No.
In a class description, class features do not apply to abilities the character may have from other classes unless explicitly stated.

Re: Simple Raw Thread for 3.5 #28
A 571 addendum:
Trolls do not have Fast Healing; they have Regeneration, which works slightly differently. In particular, ordinary wounds do not reduce the HP total of a creature with Regeneration, but instead add to the creature's nonlethal damage total.
Further, the use of Simulacrum to copy a creature with racial HD is not fully specified. A copy only has half as many HD or levels as the original, and the corresponding abilities. This is easy to adjudicate for a creature whose HD all come from class levels, or for a creature that has been advanced to twice its normal number of RHD, but it is not clear for a creature which gets over half of its levels from RHD: An ordinary troll, for instance, has 6 RHD, and so a simulacrum of a troll would have only 3 RHD, with the corresponding abilities, but it is nowhere specified what abilities a troll has at 3 RHD.Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.

Fast Healing doesn't give the ability to reattach severed body parts. Regeneration does, in which case the answer to your question is "anything that has regeneration and gets a body part severed".Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.

Q575
What kind of action (free, standard, move, etc) is it for a Vampire to revert to their humanoid shape after using Alternate Form?
The text says that they,It can remain in that form until it assumes another or until the next sunrise.
Q576
Is there a reason a Vampire cannot use Gaseous Form underwater? If they do what happens? It looks like they only have a Fly speed and cannot swim. So they would "fly" through the water at their listed speed?Last edited by unseenmage; 2014-11-19 at 12:58 PM.

Re 574
It is possible for you to suffer damage to specific parts of the body. The following sidebar appears on page 27 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.
VARIANT: DAMAGE TO SPECIFIC AREAS
Sometimes, despite the abstract nature of combat, you’re going to want to apply damage to specific parts of the body, such as when a character’s hands are thrust into flames, when he steps on caltrops, or when he peeks through a hole in the wall and someone shoots an arrow into the hole from the other side. (This situation comes up most frequently with devious traps meant to chop at feet, smash fingers, or the like.)
When a specific body part takes damage, you can apply a –2 penalty to any action that the character undertakes using that portion of his body. For example, if a character’s fingers get slashed, he makes attacks rolls with a weapon in that hand at –2 and he takes a –2 penalty on skill checks involving the use of his hands.

Q 578:
Given that a character whose hands are bound is typically considered unable to cast a spell with somatic components, is a character with no arms considered permanently unable to cast somatic spells?

Q579
When losing experience (this question is specifically for losing it due to Fool card in the deck of many things, but in general as well), can you lose levels if you go below the minimum required for a level? Or do you just have that much more to go before your next level up?
78% of DM's started their first campaign in a tavern. If you're one of the 22% that didn't, copy and paste this into your signature.
Where did you start yours?
The main character (solo campaign) heard about the upcoming execution of his brother for murder, and was on his way to the Count's Keep to stop or delay it.

You lose any characteristics associated with the deleted XP. That will include level gain and the class abilities, feats, and skills associated with the missing level(s). Basically if it's on the Level Advancement schedule (Player's Handbook, pages 58-59) you undo all those steps.

A 580 No.
If you hit, you can choose either to deal double damage with a melee weapon or natural attack or to attempt a trip attack.

Understood, makes sense. Also, sorry I didn't ask this immediately, but:
Q581 When you choose to make a trip attempt with Battle Jump, do you still get normal damage from the charge?

Re: Simple Raw Thread for 3.5 #28
A 581 No.
The trip attack is in place of the melee attack you would normally execute on a Charge. A trip attack by itself does not deal any damage.
A 582 Ask your DM.
From the Glossary definition of natural weapon:Slap or Slam: The creature batters opponents with an appendage, dealing bludgeoning damage.

Q 584
Upon casting a spell to summon a monster or nature's ally, what's the maximum distance that the summoned creature can move away from the caster? Is it the range of the spell, or does range only indicate how far away from the caster the creature can initially be summoned?

From the rules for Conjuration spells:The creature or object must appear within the spell’s range, but it does not have to remain within the range.

Re: Simple Raw Thread for 3.5 #28
Q.586 As an example, a weapon is given the Binding enhancement. There is no saving throw in the text, as there is in many other weapon enhancements. However, the spell used, (dimensional anchor) allows a saving throw. Does the weapon's ability act as the spell, or is there no saving throw for the opponent hit?
Thanks : )Last edited by Keldrin; 2014-11-21 at 05:07 PM.

a.586
Dimensional Anchor offers no saving throw.
As for the general question, it would depend on the language used. If the language is that the creature is affected by the spell, no saving throw is necessary because for it to affect a creature, it must have already failed its throw.
Theoretically, if the language implies that the creature is only targeted by the spell, and the item offers no saving throw DC, I don't know how this would work, but then again, I don't think there is such an item.Last edited by heavyfuel; 2014-11-21 at 08:11 PM.
