Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #34: Mere mortal, not immortal, not starcrossed, anymor
Re 76: Your quote is specifically about familiars, not animal companions. Note, that I was asking about an animal companion, not a familiar. Besides, that was part of the reason why I'm asking it. I know how to handle it for a familiar, but not how I would handle it for an animal companion. Animal Companion ≠ Familiar. Share Spells for an animal companion does *not* specify the nature of the spells which apply to it, so they could just as well be from wizard spell list as from druid spell list.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #34: Mere mortal, not immortal, not starcrossed, anymor
Still not sure if that answers to the core of my question. Let me rephrase it:
If I cast Tenser's Transformation on my animal companion, which one does the 'your character level' in the spell's description refer to: the character who casts the spell or the targeted creature with Share Spells ability? Note that the creature does not cast the spell itself. As is, personal spells are intended to be cast on yourself, but, to me, Share Spells seems to create a corner case loophole for which I couldn't find a clear answer to.Last edited by Arkhios; 2018-06-29 at 01:02 AM.

Does the alternate class feature Spiritual Totem: Bear's Improved Grab work on weapon attacks? Only Unarmed strikes? How does it function, it only links the actual improved grab ability which states it should be noted in the creature's entry which attack qualifies.

It works as the standard Improved Grab ability.

Q80 How does movement with multiple modes/speeds work? If have a 30 ft move speed and a 60ft fly speed, and move 15 feet then begin to fly, what is the farthest I'm allowed to move?

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #34: Mere mortal, not immortal, not starcrossed, anymor
Q 81
My question is: can you retrain a feat that is its own prerequisite?
Okay, that sounds weird, so let’s develop a bit. The retraining rules for feats specify...

He fulfills the condition of meeting the prerequisite in his current state, thanks to the bonus feat. He also met the prerequisite at level 3, since he could have taken the feat at the time save for the fact he didn’t have enough feat slots. However, the feat slot used for the exchange is the one that provides said prerequisite, meaning he couldn’t have taken Spinning Defense at the time with this one slot for lack of Deflect Arrows...Last edited by St Fan; 2018-06-30 at 03:41 PM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #34: Mere mortal, not immortal, not starcrossed, anymor
Q80 follow up I have one player in the game saying that the answer should be 15, since as a move action you're allowed to move up to your speed, which is 30. He would also claim that if you began the move by flying, you could move 60 ft whether some of it was walking or not.
Another interprets speed to be the rate at which you can move in one move action, so if you mix modes, you need to account for the different rate of speed. If you move 15 ft on land of your 30, you've used up half your movement, so you are only entitled to half your fly movement, which is 30ft of 60. (As an aside, I believe this is roughly how it works if you do something like tumble or swim without a swim speed. In effect, since the fly speed is twice the ground speed, you move 10 ft for each 5ft of movement spent, just like when you tumble at half speed, you move 5 ft for each 10ft spent. I don't know if that should affect the argument at all)
Are either of those positions defensible?Last edited by Nich_Critic; 2018-06-30 at 12:46 PM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #34: Mere mortal, not immortal, not starcrossed, anymor
Q82: The half-ogre in races of destiny has the giant type. Armor pricing indicates "humanoids" vs "non-humanoids". I've always read this pricing as being sort of generic term for humanoid in which even an ogre would be basically humanoid shaped. Is this false? Does the armor for a half-ogre cost X4 for being large and for him not being a humanoid? What about a half-dragon human?

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #34: Mere mortal, not immortal, not starcrossed, anymor
A 80 There is no definitive RAW answer to this. It is beyond the scope of the thread.
A 81 This is specifically disallowed. You didn't qualify at level 3, so you can't take it.
A 82 Yes, it's using the term "humanoid" in the colloquial sense, meaning bipedal with 2 arms, 2 legs, one or more heads and a tail. You don't pay extraI've got a new fantasy TTRPG about running your own fencing school in a 3 musketeers pastiche setting. Book coming soon.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #34: Mere mortal, not immortal, not starcrossed, anymor
Q83 Addendum
I meant for the existing Weapons of Legacy in Chapter 3, not for the purpose of creating new ones. Or is the only way to determine which abilities are Least/Lesser/Greater really to consult the Ability Menus? What about abilities that aren't in the menus?
(This is probably a dumb obvious question but I've scanned the whole book for an explanation and can't find one. I suspect it's as simple as "abilities unlocked at 5-10 are Least, 11-15 are Lesser, and 16-20 are Greater", but I can't find it saying that anywhere.)Last edited by Malimar; 2018-06-30 at 08:46 PM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #34: Mere mortal, not immortal, not starcrossed, anymor
Q84 So let's say I'm a character with ranks in Tumble and wearing medium or heavy armour (or carrying a heavy load), can I still make use of abilities like Drunken Master's Stagger:
Stagger (Ex): By tripping, stumbling, and staggering, a drunken master of 2nd level or higher can make a charge attack that surprises his opponents. This ability has two beneficial aspects: First, the charge need not be in a straight line, even though the character can still move up to twice his speed. Second, if a drunken master makes a DC 15 Tumble check before beginning a charge, his movement through threatened squares provokes no attacks of opportunity.Last edited by Sir_Chivalry; 2018-06-30 at 09:05 PM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #34: Mere mortal, not immortal, not starcrossed, anymor
A 83 Yeah, you've got it basically figured out
A 84 You could use the first part of the ability, but not the second, since you can't use tumble in bulky armor. Activating stagger still necessitates hitting a tumble dc, which is using the skill.I've got a new fantasy TTRPG about running your own fencing school in a 3 musketeers pastiche setting.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #34: Mere mortal, not immortal, not starcrossed, anymor
Q85 A
Can the tarrasque die by drowning?
The tarrasque's regeneration ability states that no form of attack can deal lethal damage to it.
However, the description of regeneration explicitly states that it does not restore hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation. Drowning is not a form of attack - merely a hazard of having lungs - and one might say that adjusting its health directly to 0, then -1, and then -10 is not necessarily "dealing damage" to it.
Q85 B
If drowning can't "kill" a tarrasque, would it at least still be reduced to -1 HP and unable to recover via its regeneration ability?Last edited by Vaern; 2018-06-30 at 11:05 PM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #34: Mere mortal, not immortal, not starcrossed, anymor
A 85a/b No. This is an effect that would kill it instantly, so in the third round after failing its save, it would take 868 points of nonlethal damage as described in its regeneration ability.

Q87: The Luckstealer's (Races of the Wild) "Curse of the Fatespurned" is a spell-like ability. Would the roll to overcome spell resistance while attempting to use the curse be D20 + total caster level or D20 + the level of luckstealer?

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #34: Mere mortal, not immortal, not starcrossed, anymor
I don't see anything saying that spell resistance applies to it at all. But the general rule is that you use the caster level of the effect to determine whether that effect can beat spell resistance, and the caster level of a spell-like ability is equal to your character level unless otherwise specified.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #34: Mere mortal, not immortal, not starcrossed, anymor
OK thanks. All I had was that it was a spell like ability (so SR often applies) and that the SAVE (not spell resistance), is based on the prestige class level. If spell resistance were based on prestige class, however, you'd never be able to overcome it.
(Luckstealers lose one caster level upon entry).
