    A131: No. Because the sickening and poisoning are being delivered by the same strike, they resolve simultaneously. The sickening would need to resolve before the poisoning for the penalty to apply to the fort save.

    Q133

    If I Sculpt Spell a Fireball into a cone, can I place that cone anywhere within range, or does it have to start at the edge of my square?
    If yes, why?

    Q134

    If I sculpt Spell a Fireball into a line, can I place that line anywhere within range, or does it have to start at the edge of my square?
    If yes, why?


    Q135

    If I sculpt Spell Burning Hands into a 20ft sphere, I can only center the sphere somewhere within 15ft of me - does the sphere's area extend past those 15ft, or is it also confined to them?
    (i.e. I place a sculpted burning hands 15ft away from me - does the aoe extend all the way to 35ft?)

    No. A spell's area cannot extend beyond its range.

    Q137: Is a Warforged immune to the effects of the Armor Lock spell (from Complete Scoundrel) if all they have for armor is their basic composite plating? Can this answer change if they have one of the feats that changes what their composite plating is/does?

    A warforged is not a valid target for the spell, even if it gets one of the feats that change the armor class of the plating.

    There's probably a few, although the simplest is to acquire a Chime of Opening.

    If it must be obtained through a feat, Item Familiar or Ancestral Relic allow a non-spellcaster to enchant an item.

    Depends on the monster. A balor's vorpal sword is a supernatural ability and can be activated as a standard action.

    Yes, it must be obtained via a feat or class-feature (although your answer does do that since I didn't realise Ancestral Relic didn't have to be a weapon!).

    If anyone knows of any other means please expand on the answer.

    Githzerai Knock (CP 54) allows you to use psionic knock as a psi-like ability.

    Factotum (Du 14) can use knock as a spell-like ability starting at 5th level.

    Most of them would heal the full amount because they are neither supernatural abilities nor spells of the healing subschool, but with Strike of Righteous Vitality the user or one ally explicitly gains the benefit of a heal heal spell, a spell from the healing subschool. So a Warforged would only get half the HP back.

    And this is what makes the ever popular Giant Rat 1st level encounters so infuriating. You don't have the resources to get the disease removed, you can almost guarantee at least one party member will fail a Fort save, and the only way to beat the disease is sit around for days on end making Fort save and/or Heal checks.

    I can't remember the last character I have had from first level that didn't fight giant rats at least once. They seem to be hard wired into low-level adventures!

    I've had a few that didn't, but I agree, disease is somewhat more debilitating than is really appropriate for 1st-level play. I suppose it gives an impetus to get on with the adventure (since you could hope to complete the adventure before the incubation period ends, and then just get the disease taken care of between adventures).

    Q144: Normally, creatures don't block line and effect and line of sight, they can only provide cover.
    However, if a character is inside an ooze thanks to the Amulet of Ooze Riding, rather than behind it, and assuming the ooze is fairly transparent and allows to see through it (which is explicitly the case for the Gelatinous Cube):

    1. Does the character get total cover ?

    2. Is line of effect blocked ?

    3. More generally, if I want to attack through a solid but transparent obstacle, my line of effect would be blocked (since there is a solid obstacle), and by RAW, since line of sight is strictly included into line of effect, it should be blocked too, contrary to common sense.
    Is this correct ?

    Thank you.

    You must have a clear line of effect to any target that you cast a spell on or to any space in which you wish to create an effect. You must have a clear line of effect to the point of origin of any spell you cast.

    A burst, cone, cylinder, or emanation spell affects only an area, creatures, or objects to which it has line of effect from its origin (a spherical burst’s center point, a cone-shaped burst’s starting point, a cylinder’s circle, or an emanation’s point of origin).

    An otherwise solid barrier with a hole of at least 1 square foot through it does not block a spell’s line of effect. Such an opening means that the 5-foot length of wall containing the hole is no longer considered a barrier for purposes of a spell’s line of effect.

A successful attack into a square occupied by an enemy with total concealment has a 50% miss chance (instead of the normal 20% miss chance for an opponent with concealment).

    You can’t execute an attack of opportunity against an opponent with total concealment, even if you know what square or squares the opponent occupies.

    Do undead have any kind of default immunity to polymorph effects? I could have sworn they do, but looking at creatures types, only oozes and plants seem to have this. Maybe I'm thinking of specific undead such as liches? Is there a rule parsing that I'm missing?

    Q 146 :

    About A 144. The SRD explains that "A line of effect is canceled by a solid barrier". In substance, A 144 explains that his does not opt out animated barriers, like big, hulking creatures. This is why a Gelatinous Cube filling all the width and height of a corridor blocks line of effect between two characters on the opposite sides of the Cube.
    But the Cube is transparent, and does not block line of sight. So :

    Does a gaze attack need line of effect in addition to line of sight ? In particular, can a gaze attack affect a character through a Gelatinous Cube ?

    Q&A 140a addendum:

    Troacctid is correct, but please note that Eberron lore notes Woeforged as a thing - even though they are never backed up with rules or mechanics. So the setting supports something that is more-or-less exactly what you are asking for, but won't say to what extent or how.

    CF Forge of War page 85 for what exceedingly little information is given on them.

    A 145: No, but if you're using the normal spell chain they happen not to qualify until you get up to Polymorph Any Object (they fail the lower level spells by virtue of not being living or the spells granting fortitude saves).
