Q17
The Spell Compendium version of spiderskin says that it increases in benefit for every 3 caster levels, but fails to include an explicit maximum yet also an explicit recognition that it scales without bound. The given examples stop at spell level 15, but those are only examples, not limitations. Is SpC spiderskin uncapped by RAW?

Q 018
Question about the Goblin Pits of Io-Rach (BoVD p.22) and the mutant/variant goblins they produce.
It says the goblins are medium sized, and have an inherent +4 Str, +4 Con, -4 Int, -4 Wis and -4 Cha.
A.) Would this be in addition to normal ability mods for goblins (-2 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Cha), or instead of them?
B.) Also, would you apply the normal modifiers when changing a creature from small to medium in size (+4 Str, -2 Dex, +2 Con) ?Last edited by Thurbane; 2019-05-23 at 02:23 AM.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #35: 3/2 Score And Four Threads Ago
Q#19
If Kaorti (or other far realm navtive creature) holding a rod of embassy (far realm) cast teleport, greater, could they teleport to a location in the far realm (fully in the far realm)
Notable facts
Kaorti are native to the far realm
Rod of Embassy: "When a creature carries a rod of embassy keyed to its home plane, it is considered to be on that plane for as long as it holds the rod"
Teleport greater: "This spell functions like teleport, except that there is no range limit ... Interplanar travel is not possible"
^ the no range limit means if there is an infinite distance from the Kaorti to the destination in the far realm (there is) it can still reach that point.
TL;DR: Is a native to the far realm holding a rod of embassy (far realm) attempting to teleport to a point in the Far realm considered Interplanar Travel?
A#18
A. -2 str, +2 dex, -2 cha are Racial bonuses, +4 Str, +4 Con, -4 Int, -4 Wis, -4 Cha is inherent bonus, they are separately applied (meaning they stack
B. They "Grow to medium size" I believe it would be permitted.Last edited by D&DPrinceTandem; 2019-05-23 at 10:17 AM.

Revenge of the semantics: I would argue No, but this could be ruled either way. The point of contention is condensed into the following: If one is 'considered on X plane', would teleporting to that plane from another still be considered interplanar travel? I believe that there is a distinction here between 'considered on' and actually on. You can be considered on that plane all day long, but to take you from where you physically are to where you physically want to go would still be traveling from one plane to another. Thus, it would still be interplanar travel. Again, this could be ruled either way depending on your DM, and even the RAI doesn't seem clear here.If you need me for anything, or I forgot about something, PM me and I'll see it.

Q21
The atropal is an undead with regeneration. Only good or sentient weapons overcome this. Since undead are immune to subdual damage, does this mean he is immune to all damage that isn't from a good or sentient weapon?

Q 24
Would a Maximized Dispel Magic (or similar spell) allow an automatic 20 on the caster level check?
Or does it fall in the "Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected" category for the Maximized Spell feat?Spoiler

No, generally you've already "paid" the LA cost included into the levels of that class in the first place. A class ability will never have a LA applied to it.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #35: 3/2 Score And Four Threads Ago
25 Dispute
I believe jdizzlean’s answer is an entirely reasonable interpretation and I fully support using it in a game. I would never rule otherwise myself. However, I don’t believe that it’s ironclad RAW. There’s no rules text saying that you do or that you don’t gain the LA. It’s a gap in the rules and it doesn’t have a “simple RAW” answer. A GM could be justified in ruling either way without being accused of houseruling.
In the case of an ambiguity like this, I support choosing the option that does less damage to our collective ability to enjoy the game, which is why I completely agree with jdizzlean’s response as a good choice to make. I do not, however, agree that it’s a “RAW” answer, because it isn’t actually stated in RAW.
This is a pedantic distinction, but given the format of the thread, I believe that it’s worth the quibble.In the Beginning Was the Word, and the Word Was Suck: A Guide to Truenamers

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5 #35: 3/2 Score And Four Threads Ago
Q 27
Still on the subject of Empowered/Maximized spells...
A: A touch spell or ranged touch spell can add sneak attack damage to its normal damage under the right conditions. If the spell is Empowered and/or Maximized, are the d6s of sneak attack damage concerned too?
B: Corrupt spells and Sanctified spells have a Corruption/Sacrifice cost that is often a random number of ability damage/drain. If such a spell is Empowered and/or Maximized, is the Corruption/Sacrifice affected too? Or the fact that it's a "component" and not strictly an effect of the spell exclude them?Spoiler

A 30: Yes
(Because of the use of the word "Any" - without it then it could be 3 of one or 3 of the other, but the word is redundant unless it mean you can mix and match.)

I read somewhere that there is a Drow House that makes a potion that allows Zombies over 20HD.

Is that real?

Here are all the spells I could find that can, in my own careful reading of the rules, detect some ongoing supernatural effects. This is probably not a complete list.
Detect Scrying (Player's Handbook p. 219)
See Invisibility (Player's Handbook p. 275)
True Seeing (Player's Handbook p. 296)
Discern Shapechanger (Spell Compendium p. 66)
Know Opponent (Spell Compendium p. 129; detects supernatural abilities even when they're not in use)
I do not know of any supernatural ability that is identified as either arcane or divine. To the best of my knowledge, this distinction applies to spells and probably to the effects of spell-like abilities as well, but I doubt that it applies to supernatural abilities.
EDIT: The spell Detect Undead (Player's Handbook p. 220) also belongs in this list.Last edited by Duke of Urrel; 2019-05-31 at 08:39 PM.
