A. 492 Agreement
This ability is really poorly worded.
I agree with the Windrider though, RAI is probably to let it apply only once.

Q 493
For the Tome of Battle maneuver system's prerequisites, can you retain use of a maneuver if you give up what you used for its prerequisites, if the maneuver that you are replacing the obsolete one with still fulfills said prerequisites.
For example:
Suppose that a level 6 Warblade has two Diamond Mind maneuvers, Sapphire Nightmare Blade and Emerald Razor, and he chooses to replace the former with Insightful Strike. Does he still retain use of Emerald Razor, since he still has the prerequisite? Can one thus set up a self-supporting matrix of maneuvers that all have prerequisites toward the end of a martial adept's career?My Unitarian Jihad name is Brother Rail Gun of Sweet Reason. Get yours!

Maneuver prereqs are only needed to learn the maneuver, not to use it. In your example, the Warblade could switch out Sapphire Nightmare Blade for any maneuver of any discipline and would still be able to use Emerald Razor.Like 4X (aka Civilization-like) gaming? Know programming? Interested in game development? Take a look.

Q. 494: The MoI feats Open Least Chakra and the like allow you to bind a meld to a chakra; does this stack with the number of chakra binds allowed by a meldshaping class?

Q 495
How do I tell whether or not a given race can use its natural attacks along with manufactured-weapon attacks in a single full-attack action if the race doesn't have a monster stat block, and it doesn't say in the description of the race's natural attack?

Creatures capable of making both kinds of attacks can generally use both at the same time during a full-attack.
I cannot recall any exceptions to this general rule.

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
A 495 - addendum
The FAQ say:
What happens when creatures use their natural weapons as secondary attacks along with a manufactured weapon? For example, lizardfolk have two claws that also serve as hands. What happens when they wield a onehanded weapon in one hand and nothing in the other? Do they lose both claw attacks in exchange for their attacks with the weapon?
Wielding a manufactured weapon doesn’t prevent a creature from using all its natural weaponry, provided that the creature is using the full attack action and the additional natural weapons are free.
The example lizardfolk can’t make a claw attack with the “hand” that holds its weapon, although it does get to attack with the weapon itself. But, if it’s using the full attack action, it can use its other claw as a natural secondary attack (–5 to attack rolls, half Strength bonus), and can also bite as a natural secondary attack. In effect, the lizardfolk is using its normal full attack routine with the manufactured weapon attack substituted for one claw attack.
As far as I can see, this means: apply logic (or maybe ask the DM, for odd natural weapons).

Q. 496
8-way grappling.
Say you are a giant octopus, and a tin of canned meat (an adventurer, most likely) enters your sensory area. Before you can start opening the tin, the adventurer needs to be beaten down. In the course of the ensuing fight you can make a full round attack. The octopus attacks with 8 tentacles. The first one to hit can attempt to initiate the grapple. What happens now?
A. If the unmodified grapple check succeeds, other attacks cannot be made (all tentacles are occupied by grapple).
B. If the unmodified grapple check succeeds, other attacks continue, and on the following rounds the octopus is considered to be grappling with all 8 tentacles.
C. If the following round the octopus is considered to be grappling with all 8 tentacles, it can make 2 unmodified "crush" grapple attempts, right?
D. If the grapple check succeeds at -20, only the attacking tentacle grapples the adventurer, other tentacles can beat away or can attempt grapples of their own.
E. Adventurer caught by only one tentacle is considered flatfooted versus other tentacles and bite attacks.
F. If an adventurer is caught separately by 3 tentacles, can each of them attempt the "crush" attempt separately on the following round?
G. Will it have to be made with the same -20 modifier?
H. How many "crush" attempts would each tentacle get - one because it's one tentacle, or two due to creature's BAB >5 like with normal grapple?

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
Q #497
What is the RAW word on spells/effects such as fireball, fog cloud and similar that have burst/radius effects when cast in spaces too confined to contain them completely? IIRC, AD&D v1 used to define a fireball's actual area of effect to 33,000ft3...has this sort of issue been dispensed with in some way, since then?

Fireball and fog cloud are actually spread spells, not burst spells. Such a spell expands outwards from its point of origin, filling up space as best it can (it wraps around obstacles). An actual burst spell needs an uninterrupted line from its origin to anything it affects (in other words, it needs line of effect from its origin)

Q 498
What options are available to identify a magic item at low levels? Assume that the Identify Spell is out of the question because the price of pearls is too costly.
Are there other methods that become available at higher levels?Last edited by Asmodeus; 2007-08-21 at 01:07 PM.

The divine version of identify just requires the divine focus.

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
A 498
The pearl is listed as an Arcane Material Component. This means the ability to cast identify as a divine spell does not require the use of a pearl. You can obtain identify as a divine spell through being a cleric with the Magic domain, a cloistered cleric, or an archivist. There are likely other options as well.
The Dragonfire Adept can learn an invocation called magic insight which allows them to replicate identify at will without a pearl.
Psionic identify only requires time and no material components.
A 499
No. You must use a full attack to gain the offhand attack while using TWF. You cannot take a full attack if you move more than five feet.The Future just ain’t what it used to be.

A500 Yes. The only time you cannot use a stance is when you are unconscious, helpless, or dead.

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
A498 more stuff
A DC 50+item's caster level Spellcraft check allows you to identify a magic item as though you had cast identify on it, and only takes one round. You can only make such an attempt for a particular item once however, which precludes taking 20.
Similarly, a DC 70+item's caster level Spellcraft check allows you to identify all properties of a magic item, similar to analayze dweomer, and takes a minute. Again though, you can only make a single attempt at this check for a particular item.FeytouchedBanana eldritch disciple avatar by...me!

If a PC readies a maneuver twice, can he use it twice in an encounter? (Like a wizard preparing Magic Missile twice)Thanks to DarkCorax for the "Gnome Wizard", which holds a special place in my heart as it's the first DnD character I'd ever made.

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
Yes, but I found nothing that restricts the skill use to epic characters (other then the high DC). Given a wealth of bonuses, a nonepic character could succeed on the check.
Not that I know of, although the synergy bonus it gives to Spellcraft might be helpful.FeytouchedBanana eldritch disciple avatar by...me!

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
Q. 502: Concerning the Arcane Trickster Prestige Class; can a character qualify for it with Spell-Like abilities alone (e.g. a racially granted 3rd level SLA and the feat in Complete Arcane that grants Mage Hand as an SLA)?
(the wording of the requirements text regarding spellcasting for this PrC is somewhat ambiguous when taken in context of the clarifications presented in Complete Arcane...I'm just looking for confirmation/denial of my own interpretation)I apologise if I come across daft. I'm a bit like that. I also like a good argument, so please don't take offence if I'm somewhat...forthright.
Please be aware; when it comes to 5ed D&D, I own Core (1st printing) and SCAG only. All my opinions and rulings are based solely on those, unless otherwise stated. I reserve the right of ignorance of errata or any other source.

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
Yes, there is. But it's minor. Analyze Dwenomer sees all spells present on an item as well, so you can see if something is PAO'd or somesuch.
