Re: Simple RAW for 3.5: 38 pages, and I still don't know how to play D&D
A99bis: This is never made clear in the rules as far as I know. In general, since 'race' and 'template' are two separate entities in the rules, I believe it is more RAW to treat them as separate things. So dragonborn would not remove template abilities. Of course then there are questions about what happens if the base race changes in a way that makes the template no longer legal or what happens with a template with a variable LA if the base form is no longer the same. (Half Ogre from dragon magazine). Who knows!

Re: Simple RAW for 3.5: 38 pages, and I still don't know how to play D&D
This is kinda arguable, since RAW of templates are peppered with the "racial" word:

Re: Simple RAW for 3.5: 38 pages, and I still don't know how to play D&D
Q105 It is regular to use Bone/Corpse Creature (BoVD template human warriors or experts, created with the Create Undead spell, as followers for the Undead Leadership feat?
Can a golem limb be attached to an undead to create an Half-Golem?
Or, can an half-golem (one that superated the Will save and did not became a construct), once killed, be reanimated as undead?
Could an Half-Golem Corpse Creature be a follower? Or be controlled as a normal undead?Last edited by Samael Morgenst; 2024-04-23 at 07:04 AM.

Re: Simple RAW for 3.5: 38 pages, and I still don't know how to play D&D
A 105 a Leadership requires you to explicitly work with your DM to determine what are appropriate cohort and followers. A DM could absolutely allow you to use Corpse/Bone creatures as followers of the appropriate modified level (though not as a cohort, since cohorts must have published level adjustments by RAW).
A 105 b No, Half-Golem cannot be applied to undead.
A 105 c A Half-Golem Corpse creature cannot exist, and thus cannot be a follower, or be controlled.
A 106 Yes, as long as you're the one casting it.Resurrecting the Negative LA thread, comments and discussion are very welcome!

Re: Simple RAW for 3.5: 38 pages, and I still don't know how to play D&D
Q 108: The rules for wielding oversized weapons are kinda confusing.
a. Since sickles are light, can a Medium creature wield a Huge sickle two-handed?
b. is the penalty to hit -2 or -4 in that case?

Re: Simple RAW for 3.5: 38 pages, and I still don't know how to play D&D
A 108
a. The measure of effort required to wield a weapon (light, 1h, 2h) increases by one step each time the weapon's size category is increased. A large sickle would be considered a one-handed weapon, and a huge sickle would be two-handed.
b. The penalty on attack rolls for an improperly sized weapon is cumulative per size category. A huge sickle being used by a medium creature would incur a -4 penalty."Technically correct" is the best kind of correct.

Q109: Is there any way to use the earth elemental's ability to glide through earth, but with metal? That would allow a dragon to swim through a ridiculously large pile of coins, which seems appropriate for most dragons.

A110: A couple that I can think of.
If you are of a race that can be taken as both a familiar and as a PC race, such as the beguiler, you should be able to take class levels while being someone else's familiar (or possibly your own).
Higher-order deities can take any creature as a familiar, so literally anyone could be such a deity's familiar companion.⚣ Tanuki in the Playground. ⚣

Re: Simple RAW for 3.5: 38 pages, and I still don't know how to play D&D
A 109 The Glitterhaunt can glide through metal as well as earth as an extraordinary ability. Shapechanging, or wild shaping into one through Master of Many Forms, or stealing that ability with Illithid Savant (if your DM considers it's not part of the Glitterhaunt's anatomy, and if you can access the class in the first place) would allow you to do so as well.
A 111 The bow is not a finesseable weapon, and you apply your Str modifier, not your Dex modifier to attack rolls. There is nothing to replace, and Charming the Arrow is useless on the blade part of this bow.Resurrecting the Negative LA thread, comments and discussion are very welcome!

Q 112
The "hand crossbow focus" feat from drow of the underdark says that it counts as the weapon focus feat for anything that has weapon focus as a prerequisite.
Does that make it count just as "weapon focus (hand crossbow)" or for any kind of weapon focus prerequisite?am was here

Re: Simple RAW for 3.5: 38 pages, and I still don't know how to play D&D
The short answer is that it would only count as Weapon Focus (hand crossbow).
The long answer is that technically, there is no such feat as Weapon Focus (hand crossbow). The name of the feat is always just Weapon Focus. The parenthetical indicates the particular weapon chosen for the feat. So if a prerequisite calls for Weapon Focus (longsword), Hand Crossbow Focus would not count for it: you do have Weapon Focus, but you didn't choose the longsword as the associated weapon.Rhymes with "Protracted."

Re: Simple RAW for 3.5: 38 pages, and I still don't know how to play D&D
Q 114
Lets say my base land speed is 40
If my character has the weapon called Rapid Wrath from Ghostwalk which says:
"This +1 mighty cleaving shortspear doubles
the speed of a creature that carries it"
and my character also have the fiendish graft called Feathered Wings from Fiend Folio which says:
"The grafted creature can fly at a
speed equal to twice its normal land speed, with average
maneuverability"
My Land speed would be 80
Does that mean my fly speed is 160 or is that also doubled which means 320 fly speed?

Re: Simple RAW for 3.5: 38 pages, and I still don't know how to play D&D
A 114:
You would choose in what order to apply the two effects. In this case, since both effects are multiplications, the end result would be the same either way (160' fly speed), but if one of them were an addition, you would presumably choose the order which gave the higher final speed.Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.

Re: Simple RAW for 3.5: 38 pages, and I still don't know how to play D&D
A 115
Feathered Wings looks at your normal land speed, not your enhanced land speed after being modified by the spear. Your base land speed is 40, and your base fly speed of twice that would be 80. Unless there's a rule somewhere that an increase to speed applies only to base land speed unless otherwise specified, both modes of movement are then doubled by the spear for a final speed of 80 land / 160 flying."Technically correct" is the best kind of correct.

Re: Simple RAW for 3.5: 38 pages, and I still don't know how to play D&D
Q 115
The SRD lists the octopus (small animal, not the giant variety) as having a grapple modifier of +2, but I can't figure out why. As far as I can tell, it should get +1 from it's BAB, +1 from it's Strength modifier, and -4 for being small-sized. It does have Improved Grab, but that ability doesn't seem to grant a bonus to the grapple check, and the creature doesn't appear to have any racial bonus to grapple checks. Is this because of an unlisted bonus I'm not seeing, or is it ignoring the size penalty?
