Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
Q104: From PHB pg. 129, a Riding Dog costs 150gp. From MM2 pg.219, buying a creature with the warbeast template costs 50 gp/HD for a warbeast of 3 HD or less. A Riding Dog with the template has 3HD and is thus 150gp.
Am I missing something or is it a more powerful animal, for exactly the same price?You think Tucker's Kobolds were bad, now imagine them with Rust Monster Mounts. Oh and they're druids, that use wooden armor. Thank-you and Have a Nice Day

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
A 104 Yes, you're missing something.
There is no "Riding Dog with the [Warbeast] template". This template can only be applied to a base Animal. A Riding Dog is already trained for combat.Dog, Riding
This Medium dog is specially trained to carry a Small humanoid rider. It is brave in combat like a warhorse. You take no damage when you fall from a riding dog.The Monster Manual describes a few “war creatures” that have qualities similar to those of a warbeast but differ from standard creatures of a given kind. These creatures are considered to already have a separate “war template” and cannot have the warbeast template added. For example, one cannot apply the warbeast template to a heavy warhorse.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
Q 105
Two questions about Empathic Transfer and psicrystals.
105 A
Can a psion use Empathic Transfer to repair a psicrystal?
I know psicrystals, being constructs, can't be affected by healing spells or powers; however Empathic Transfer doesn't have the (Healing) subdiscipline, and it says that you are "transferring some of its damage to yourself", thus I'm wondering if it makes it an exception.
105 B
If a psion manifests Empathic Transfer and use the "Deliver touch powers" ability to make his psicrystal the toucher, will the damage healed be transfered to the psicrystal rather than the manifester? Similarly, can the psicrystal absorb diseases or poisons into itself this way (being itself a construct, and thus immune)?Spoiler

I don't know what the protocol is for not being noticed due to being the last one on a previous page so I'll just repost my questions here once.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
A 103Anyone struck by the corruptor of fate's short sword attack must make the save or be affected by the curse. Regardless of whether or not they fail to save against the curse, they still take damage.
This does not appear to apply to its composite shortbow attack- the attack does not have "bestow curse" listed with its damage. This makes sense- the curse affects those "touching or touched by... its weapons" and someone hit by an arrow is not touching the weapon, as arrows are ammunition not weapons.Catapultam habeo.

Q 106
Is there any way to increase the Save DC of the special abilities of summoned Outsiders* if the Save DC is based on an ability score other than Str or Con**?
*So not Greenbound Summoning (applies only to Summon Nature's Ally) or Rashemi Elemental Summoning (applies only to Elementals).
**Because Augment Summoning already helps with these.Catapultam habeo. Nisi omniam pecuniam mihi dabis, saxum immanem ad caput tuum mittam.

You can always use the normal attribute increasing spells, but I do not know about an ability that increases other ability scores on the summoned creature without using another action.

Benefit: On your action, before making attack rolls for a round, you may choose to subtract a number from all melee attack rolls and add the same number to all melee damage rolls. This number may not exceed your base attack bonus. The penalty on attacks and bonus on damage apply until your next turn.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
A 109:
It's not a matter of the classes; it's a matter of the characters. Insignificant NPCs are made using the standard array and rolled hit points. PCs and significant NPCs are made using the elite array (or better, depending on the table) and maxed first HD. Significant characters usually have PC classes and insignificant characters usually have NPC classes, but that's not always true.Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.

A 113 Usually.
Being visually undetectable gives you +2 to attacks against sighted opponents, and denies your opponents any Dexterity bonuses to AC. This latter benefit is the enabling requirement for sudden strike.

A 107b
Most grafts require attachment to living flesh to function; that includes undead, deathless, elemental, and plant grafts as well as the more common race-based types. The rules don't state how quickly a graft will die when it's no longer attached to a living body; you'll need to talk to your individual DM about that.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
Q 107 c
Because the entry for Graft Flesh says 'other living creatures or yourself' does that mean a non-living creature can apply grafts of its own creation to itself, or does the 'other' imply that oneself is assumed to be living too?
Q 107 d
While we're at it, doesn't that wording technically preclude non-living creatures from applying grafts to anything?

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
Q 108: The Aspect of the Wolf spell from spell compendium apparently changes your creature type into Animal, which then makes you a valid target for Awaken, correct?
Awaken would then replace your Intelligence with the result of 3d6, which I suppose you could have maximized (18) or even maxed+empowered (27). It also seems to add 1d3 to your Charisma score, and gives you 2 animal HD. It then changes your creature type to magical beast.
When your Aspect of the Wolf spell wears off, are you still a magical beast?
Would repeating this cycle push your Charisma and HD even higher?
Is there something in here that doesn't work by RAW?My Homebrew and Extended Signature

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
A 108
If you can manage caster level 145, you could make Aspect of the Wolf last slightly longer than 24 hours, the casting time of Awaken; that's what's necessary to make this combination work. A duration of 24 hours or under would be insufficient to have the spell requirement (Animal type) in place throughout the casting of Awaken.Spell Failure
If you ever try to cast a spell in conditions where the characteristics of the spell cannot be made to conform, the casting fails and the spell is wasted.
At the Epic levels necessary for this result, 18 INT, +3 CHA and +2 HD of Magical Beast are underwhelming.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
A 108 continued:
Note that a maximized empowered Awaken wouldn't give you a 27 Int, unless you were very lucky. It would give you 18 + 1/2 (3d6) , or an average of about 23.Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.
