Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
A318
From this thread:
Warshaper 3, ecl 8, Complete Warrior, +5'
Atavist 5 (aggressive spirit), ecl 10, Races of Eberron, +5'
Umbral Disciple 10, ecl 15, Magic of Incarnum, +5' per essentia
Shadowblade 9, ecl 14, Tome of Magic, +10'
Deformity (tall), vile feat, Heroes of Horror, +5'
Extend Reach
Inhuman Reach, aberrant feat, Lords of Madness, +5'
Long Reach, feat, FR: Unapproachable East, +5' with short or longspears, on your turn only
Long Arm, fiendish graft, Fiend Folio, +5'
Mark of Malbolge, feat, Fiendish Codex II, +5' for 1 round, see text
Bestial Charge, feat, Complete Champion, +5' once per day, see text
Unfortunately most of these violate the restrictions you asked for and the other three are either vile or 1/day.
There is also an item from the Magic Item Compendium that increases your reach by 10' for 3 rounds per day. These Greatreach Bracers cost 2000 gp and take a swift action to activate. The increase lasts an entire round, so you can use it to make AoOs.
If your restriction on size was only on the normal size of your Monk, then you could also use spells like Enlarge Person that temporarily increase your size and give you the reach to go with it.Like 4X (aka Civilization-like) gaming? Know programming? Interested in game development? Take a look.

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
A. 318 (Not really an answer)
Lunging Strike (PHB II) allows you to make one attack with a 5 foot bonus to reach as a full-round action.
This is obviously not what you are looking for, but it is the only (non monstrous) feat that I can think of that comes even close.

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
A spiked Chain (10' reach) doesn't count as a handheld weapon? Doesn't work with monk's flurry of blows though.
A Shiruken can be used in the flurry of blows, and is a ranged weapon. Unless there is another weapon in some other sourcebook that is a monk weapon, I think you are out of luck.Last edited by Asmodeus; 2007-07-18 at 07:41 PM.

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
Somehow this reminds me of the situation where you have to pay residential property tax rates because your lot is zoned for residential use, despite it also being a designated wetlands area which prevents you from either building or living on that land.

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
How do you get 15' reach with a standard human Monk?
Chain, Spiked
A spiked chain has reach, so you can strike opponents 10 feet away with it. In addition, unlike most other weapons with reach, it can be used against an adjacent foe.

There's a feat in the Eberron Campaign Setting that allows you to treat a Longspear as a monk weapon.

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
Isn't a Kusari-gama an exotic slashing/bludgeoning weapon with reach that a monk may include in his list of special weapons when he gains the exotic weapon proficiency for it? I know the slashing end is 1d6 while the bludgeoning end is 1d4 and you get to choose which end you may attack with, or you may lose reach and use it as a double weapon. Plus you may trip with and it has a +2 disarm bonus, and you may apply weapon finesse to it.
I can't remember which book it is from though.My mother says: those on fire should roll.

Q. 319
Metamagic craziness
Let's say Bob is your friendly neighbourhood Wizard X/Incantatrix 10. Among other features, he also possesses the following qualities: Arcane Thesis [PHB2] and Metamagic School Focus [CMage]. Both of these feats will work with fireball spell.
Now say he feels a strong urge to cast a maximized, searing and energy substituted fireball.
Were he a normal wizard, the metamagic cost for the spell would be +4 (+3 maximize, +1 searing, +0 energy substitution).
A. What would be the level increase cost for Bob?
B. In other words, do these level reducing effects stack?
C. And do they allow for lowering metamagic level increase below 1?
D. Would Incantatrix feature reduce the spell level increase by 1 for each metamagic feat or by 1 for the spell, no matter how many feats are applied?
E. With all these level increase reductions - can he cast spells of level he would not be normally allowed to cast? (say past 9th circle, or past the highest circle he can cast)
F. If it's only fireball+searing spell(+1) - would it end up with occupying 3rd level slot, 4th level slot or 1st level slot?Last edited by Alveanerle; 2007-07-19 at 05:39 AM.

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
A. 319
Searing (+1):
-1: Arcane Thesis
-0: Improved Metamagic (cannot reduce below one)
-0: Metamagic School Focus (Reduction below 0 is generally not possible)
= 0
Maximize (+3):
-1: Metamagic School Focus
-1: Improved Metamagic
-0: Arcane Thesis (Reduces the level of the spell, not the cost of applying each individual metamagic feat)
= +1
Energy Substitution (+0):
-0: Metamagic School Focus (Reduction below 0 is generally not possible)
-0: Arcane Thesis (Reduces the level of the spell, not the cost of applying each individual metamagic feat) (Reduction below 0 is generally not possible)
-0: Improved Metamagic (cannot reduce below one)
Bob would cast this fireball as a 4th level spell, unless Bob used Instant Metamagic, which can be cast at no increase.
B. In other words, do these level reducing effects stack?
Arcane Thesis: It works on the spell so there is no additional benefit from adding several metamagic feats.
Metamagic School Focus: You can apply it to each metamagic feat you want to add, but are of course limited by your daily uses.
Improved Metamagic: It applies to each metamagic feat separately, but you cannot reduce below +1.
There is no order to the application so you cannot claim that you used this ability before other reducing effects.
C. And do they allow for lowering metamagic level increase below 1?
D. Would Incantatrix feature reduce the spell level increase by 1 for each metamagic feat or by 1 for the spell, no matter how many feats are applied?
E. With all these level increase reductions - can he cast spells of level he would not be normally allowed to cast? (say past 9th circle, or past the highest circle he can cast)
F. If it's only fireball+searing spell(+1) - would it end up with occupying 3rd level slot, 4th level slot or 1st level slot?
Edit: I knew the FAQ would have dealt with at least some of these. Here are references to Arcane Thesis.

Q 320
I'm a little confused about the ways a PC can use the scent ability.
-Can you discern the presence (and with a move action, the direction) of hidden-from-sight creatures within 30', even if you've never scented them before? In other words, "I smell creatures" vs "I smell something unfamiliar--could be a midden heap."
-Can you identify a specific creature that you've scented before, i.e., "that's not just a grell, that's Bob the Grell, from last encounter"? What if the familiar creature is disguised/unseen? And what about a familiar item?
-Do some creatures not have a discernible smell?

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
A 320
- Yes, you can detect presence and possibly direction for creatures you've never scented before. If its not a familiar scent, then you probably won't be able to readily identify what you are smelling though. You will just know that 'someone or something is here'. I think it's generally accepted that you can tell the difference between a living creature, and a pile of rotting compost, or a campfire, some other object with a distinct smell.
- Yes, you can identify familiar odors, just as a human can identify a familiar sight. Its up to your DM to determine what exactly constitutes 'familiar'. She may allow you to identify a specific individual, or only allow you to identify by race.
- Every living creature has a discernible scent. You should also apply this to undead, constructs, or other possible opponents. However, the scent might be suppressed for a short period of time, especially immediately after bathing. Masking the scent is also fairly easy.Last edited by Asmodeus; 2007-07-19 at 10:43 AM.

Q 321
What are the rules on limb loss? I know a creature with Regeneration can regrow lost limbs, but what happens statistically when a character, say, loses a pair of fingers, or gets his arm lopped off? What kind of damage is incurred from such a violent wound?Awesome Avatar by Shattersnap.

Many thanks to El Goonish Shive for the banner image.
Give a player a fish, and he’ll probably try to sell it to an NPC fisherman.
Teach a player to fish, and next week he’ll show up with the book, “The Complete Adventuring Fisherman”. He’ll start hunting for some monstrous leviathan to catch and enslave, and he’ll be dual-wielding two fishing poles.

The RAW does not give any details for such treatment of creatures.
The closest it comes is on page 27 of the DMG were a a variant rule for damage to a specific area is presented.

Q322
Do the Point Blank Shot and Far Shot feats apply to rays (or ranged touch attacks in general?)
Also, does my ranged attack bonus apply to such attacks?The above post made a lot more sense in my head.

Point Blank Shot does apply, but Far Shot does not since a ray is not a projectile or thrown weapon.
Rays are ranged attacks, so generic ranged attack bonuses would generally apply.

Can a creature with a claw or bite attack deliver a touch spell as part of a regular attack?

Yes, but it has to be holding the charge (not attacking as part of the casting) and hit the normal AC for the creature and not just the touch AC to deliver the charge.

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
Q324:Does Manyshot stack with the Order of the Bow Initiate's Ranged Precision ability? In other words, can I fire two arrows at once that have the precision damage bonus of the OBI?
Follow up question: Can I use the ranged precision ability as part of a full attack action? I.E., each arrow in a round getting extra damage?
Follow-up follow-up: If yes to above follow-up, then the rapid shot feat would let that arrow get the bonus damage as well, yes?

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
A324 No to all questions. The Order of the Bow Initiate's Ranged Precision ability is a full-round action and therefore cannot be combined with other actions.

Q 325
Can a lycanthrope PC continue wearing her armor in hybrid form? The rules seem to say "yes," my memory tells me "no," and all the examples I can find show the hybrid form not wearing armor.
