If you're talking about using it to throw a melee weapon that you're wielding, I don't know.
If you mean anything, however, there's the spell Cloud of Knives. It's in Player's Handbook II, page 107.

Another spell that might do what you want is Whirling Blade from page 129 of Complete Arcane. It only works against targets in a line though, not any targets you want.
It's not a spell, but some of the class features of the Bloodstorm Blade prestige class from Tome of Battle can also let you do this sort of thing.
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.

There's also Blood Wind from SpC 33. It lets the subject make a full attack with its natural weapons as if they were thrown weapons with a 20' range increment.Kaedanis Pyran, tai faernae.

It does not. The spell has no variable numeric effects. It only creates one axe with certain properties. Attacking with it and thus using the properties is not part of the casting and thus maximize spell does not apply.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #32: More Seasons than the Simpsons
I'd like to dispute this answer. The spell creates an axe which deals a variable amount of energy damage specified in its description (2d12), which increases with caster level and is subject to being negated by spell resistance. The damage is a part of the spell's description and would be affected, regardless of whether attacking with it is part of the casting.
By your logic, a Scorching Ray could not be maximized, because the spell has no variable numeric effects. It only creates rays with certain properties, which you attack with. And you could Maximize an Inflict spell or something similar, but if you held the charge for a round then it would lose its metamagic effect because you aren't attacking as part of the casting.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #32: More Seasons than the Simpsons
I never claimed that Scorching Ray could be maximized. Holding the charge on inflict spells or similar does not matter. The damage still is a direct effect of the spell even if it occurs later.
I give you a counter example. By your reasoning maximizing Summon Monster I or Polymorph would lead to summons dealing maximum damage etc. or the target's new form dealing maximum damage.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #32: More Seasons than the Simpsons
By my reasoning, neither of those spells would be affected by Maximize Spell as neither contains any variable numeric effects in the spell description to affect. They either summon or transform something into a creature whose attributes are determined by the Monster Manual, not the spell itself.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #32: More Seasons than the Simpsons
Q 327
If a players does not declare the intent to use power attack at the begining of their action, can they latter declare the intent to use power attack for an attack of opportunity?
For instance a fighter drinks a potion for his standard action and so does not declare he will use power attack.
If the answer is that must declare before taking his action on his initiative, can he declare he will use the power attack option even if he drinks a potion as his standard action? (Presumably to prepare for the possibility of an AOO)

You must declare the power attack penalty on your action and before making any attack rolls. It does not require you to make any attack rolls afterwards. So, yes you can drink a potion and declare the penalty, hoping to get an AoO.

The best answer I can think of is Innate Spell (FRCS), which allows you to turn a spell you can cast into an at will SLA.
[edit] Apparently there are multiple different versions of this feat, not sure what the most up to date one is - maybe Complete Arcane or PGTF? [/edit]Last edited by Thurbane; 2016-12-21 at 09:52 PM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #32: More Seasons than the Simpsons
Q329: Where are Homunculi discussed, especially when it comes to advancing their HD and anything like HD caps? Just the individual creature entries and the Artificer class feature, or is there another section I'm forgetting about that deals with them, especially the Ebberonian Homunculi?
Q330: Just what does the Advancement section in a creature entry mean in the context of constructs which can be created with more HD? For example, both baseline Homunculus and the Iron Defender have advancement lines in their creature entries that indicate 6 HD as some sort of maximum. In the case of the Golems that appear in the SRD, it seems to indicate at what number of HD they will have to be advanced another size category as well as possibly a max HD cap?

The Complete Arcane version is the most recent.
There is no template that can do this. However, there are combinations of templates that can. Useful resourceRhymes with "Protracted."

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #32: More Seasons than the Simpsons
The Homunculus can be found in MM1. Eberronian Homonculi are found in the Eberron Campaign Setting and Magic of Eberron books. Both follow the standard rules of advancement found in MM1 (under monstrous advancement by RHD) and follow the exceptions written under their monster entries. For Eberronian Homunculi, also refer to the Artificer section (if you're using Artificer to make them).
You can't advance a creature by RHD by more than the limit imposed by their "Advancement" section; for example, you can't make a Dedicated Wright with more than 3 RHD. Advancing a monster by RHD may cause an increase in size; for example, a Clay Golem becomes Huge at 19 RHD.The Forsaker: A 3.5e revamp.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #32: More Seasons than the Simpsons
Q 334
Via the feat 'Delay Spell' is it possible to cause numerous spells to occur on the exact same turn, if used in Time Stop?
Example: Sellek activates Time Stop, and rolls 3 rounds. In his next turn, Sellek casts a delayed Fireball by 4 rounds. After that, he casts delayed Enlarge Person, Mass by 3 rounds. He then follows it with a delayed Lightning Bolt by 2 rounds, then spends his last turn readying an action. Would a fireball and lightning bolt hit at the same time as everybody being enlarged?
Q 334.5
Do rounds spent in time stop count towards the counter of Delay Spell, if Delay Spell is used before hand?
Example: Sellek delays Fireball by 4 rounds. On his next turn, he casts Time Stop and rolls 5 rounds. Would the delayed Fireball fire within the duration of Time Stop?Check out my threads:

That depends on the undead in question. Some templates have a line somewhat like "change all existing and future HD to D12" and others only change the existing ones.
Again others (which are not templates) do not change the HD from class levels at all.Last edited by Andezzar; 2016-12-25 at 08:46 AM.

Boneclaw is not a template so the normal rules apply. The creature gets 10-22 D12s for the undead HD and whatever dice the class usually has for class levels.

1) There is no best level as you can only ever use the buy off at one specific level. Its when you are about to take the current LA*3 the class level. So 12th with LA +4, which is ECL 16 unless you also have RHD. This will cost you 15000XP bringing your total to 105000 and change.
Then reducing your LA from 3 to 2 can be done at ECL 24 (or 21 class levels) and so on.
2) 46000 XP puts you at ECL 10, so that is not enough to even start the process.Last edited by Andezzar; 2016-12-26 at 07:18 AM.
