Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
Q 1201: To use battle jump, as a medium creature, and you are standing right next to the medium sized enemy, and you declare you want to jump 10ft above them so you are 5ft total above them, is the dc check 16?
I assume this from starting at 8 ft from the Vertical Reach, + the dc of wanting to jump 2 feet (8) and double it since it isn't a running start from 20 ft.Path of the Nefarious: A Way of the Wicked Journal.

q 1202 When I have soulmelds shaped, can I make a disguise check to hide them? I mean, disguise myself as someone who doesn't have ghostly body parts on me.

A 1201 No.
D&D has two types of Jump checks which bring your character significantly above ground level:
- Long Jump - a horizontal leap where the maximum height, at the midpoint, is 1/4 the horizontal distance
- High Jump - a vertical leap which does not include any horizontal movement

Q 1203
Can you fail a skill or ability check on purpose?

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
If you jump from a position on one side of a creature to a mid-point in the air above them, you will continue to fall in an arc and land on the other side of them. You have no way of cancelling your forward velocity and simply dropping down at that point, as required by Battle Jump.
A 1203 No.
In the core rules you are allowed to fail a saving throw to willingly accept the consequence of a skill. Rules Compendium expanded that to allow you to willingly fail any saving throw. However, the game does not allow willing failure for skill checks, ability checks, attacks, or most other aspects of D&D. (It's a game oriented toward heroic derring-do, not ignominious failure.)

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
Nothing (initially) prevents you from doing this. You would not, of course, qualify for the benefit of Battle Jump because you're not "simply dropping from a height of at least 5 feet above your opponent" with this long jump. You would likely provoke an attack of opportunity from your opponent for leaving a square they threaten. And then you would be required to continue moving.
A creature can squeeze past an opponent while moving but it can’t end its movement in an occupied square.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
As soon as you leave the ground in any jump you are basically only dropping. With initial forward movement you are just not dropping vertically, but the feat does not have that requirement, only that you at one point are 5 ft above your opponent.
Wouldn't your quote make hitting with a Battle Jump altogether impossible under 3.5? The feat description in Unapproachable East (3.0) does nothing to change that.
Q 1204
Is the caster level for dispel magic still capped at 10 if you have Elven Spell Lore?
Q 1205
Is ability damage a damage type? Or more specifically, can I use Elven Spell Lore to change a spell's damage to ability damage?Last edited by Andezzar; 2012-10-27 at 05:18 AM.

Q1206
As far as I can tell, every class that gets Craft, Perform, or Profession as a class skill gets to choose any number of varieties of these skills; I don't know of any exceptions like those found under Knowledge. Thusly, I ask: if an Expert or Human Paragon devotes one of his "choose ten skills" picks to Craft, Perform, or Profession, does he get that entire set of skills, or only a specific variety of his choice?

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
Q1208 If I have 2 or more spellcasting classes is the time I spend preparing spells each day the sum of the preparation times of the classes or the longest of the preparation times. Eg. A Wizard/Cleric spends 8 hours of rest and then one hour preparing the wizard spells and one hour preparing the cleric spells or just one hour preparing both sets of spells?

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
So an Expert can pick any ten Craft skills as his entire class skill selection, but a member of any one of the PHB classes will get every Craft skill that exists and more besides. Greaaaaat.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
You misunderstand. If craft is a class skill, you can put ranks in it, but you have to choose a specific type of craft. An expert that has chosen craft as one of his class skills can divvy up his ranks in craft among as many different craft sub-skills as he likes and still choose nine other class skills.
That is to say, craft is the class skill, craft (basketweaving) is a sub-set of craft.Last edited by Kelb_Panthera; 2012-10-27 at 09:24 AM.

No. You cannot get Craft as a class skill. You could get Craft (Basketweaving) or all craft skills as a class skill, as I quoted earlier.
willpell is correct that the Expert can at most get ten different class skills whereas most if not all PC classes get all of them.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
Then why is it that literally every class that has craft and proffession lists them as singular skills, while knowledge is always listed either by individual itterations or has the (all skills taken individually) tag?
Btw, I did make another thread for this, so we don't bog this one down.
Edit: oh sure, now the frickin' multiquote buttons work.Last edited by Kelb_Panthera; 2012-10-27 at 10:02 AM.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
A 1204 Yes.
The feat adds to your caster level for the check, and the total CL is what is capped by the spell.
A 1205 No.
Elven Spell Lore is specific to an energy type:You can prepare the spell multiple times, selecting the same or a different energy type for it with each preparation.
A 1208
Spellcasting from different classes is handled separately unless stated otherwise. You cannot multitask to prepare spells for different classes at the same time.

Yes - once you have completed Rainbow Servant keep taking levels of the original class or Epic Rainbow Servant until you reach the required caster level.
