The handle animal description doesn't mention in any way verbal communication as a requirement to impart orders. RAW you can use tricks while wildshaped.
A 15
Yes, in your example the SRd clearly states Light: 50 or less

A16 (Partial) Yes.
The SRD has a link under Goods and Services, Mounts and Related Gear.
Other animals may have listed prices in their entry in the various monster manuals or books where they were introduced. For example the Battletitan Dinosaur (MM3, p38) has a cost of "often more than 100,000 gp." Eberron Campaign Setting has prices for various animals on page 121. If no price is listed, it is up to the individual DM to set a price, and even if the creature is available for purchase at all.Blank 3.5 Character Creator Iron Chef Style Tables (in Google Sheets)

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
Q 17
How would a weapon with both the Merciful and the Vicious enchantments work? Since they both grant an untyped damage bonus, would they stack? Or would they be treated as multiple instances of the same bonus type, where only the higher of the two rolls would be added to the weapon's damage?
Q 18
The Merciful enchantment says that all damage dealt by the weapon is nonlethal. Would this apply to damage dealt by other enchantments on the weapon, such as Flaming, Frost, Shock, and Vicious?
Q 18B
If yes, if an enchantment that deals energy damage such as a Flaming enchantment becomes nonlethal, does it retain its energy type for the purpose of energy resistance/immunities?
Q 18C
Would the 1d6 damage that a Vicous weapon deals to is wielder become nonlethal if the Merciful enchantment is added?

Q
1617: They stack.
Per the SRD, regarding stacking:In most cases, modifiers to a given check or roll stack (combine for a cumulative effect) if they come from different sources and have different types (or no type at all), but do not stack if they have the same type or come from the same source (such as the same spell cast twice in succession).
Q1718: All damage is non-lethal.
Merciful states that "The weapon deals an extra 1d6 points of damage, and all damage it deals is nonlethal damage." This is not overwritten by the vicious special ability, or any other mentioned special ability.
Q 18B: Yes, it retains its type, even though it is non-lethal damage, as the merciful special ability does nothing to change type of damage (note that it does not affect bludgeoning/piercing/slashing either for DR purposes).
Q 18C: Yes, Vicious damage to the wielder is non-lethal as well, as the vicious special ability does not overwrite merciful's ability that all damage is nonlethal.Last edited by mattie_p; 2012-11-15 at 04:46 PM.

Q 19
Can a Bard that uses an instrument effectively use a two-handed instrument and a one-handed weapon at the same time? The logical answer is no, but I'm wondering if there's a ruling somewhere that threw them a bone.Awesome Talon avatar by Ceika.

Q 21
Concerning Blue Ice from Frostburn, it says that any slashing weapon made from blue ice has a +1 enhancement bonus to damage. Adding the masterwork property to it grants it a +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls. So is a Masterwork Blue Ice Longsword effectively a +1 Longsword since it has a +1 enhancement bonus to both attack and damage despite not being magical?Now you're being rude, and I hate rude people.

A21
If by "is effectively a" you mean "counts as a" for purposes of enhanceability, damage reduction, etc. ...then no. It might function identically, but it doesn't have the "this sword is a magic sword" tag which enables it to do all the things which a +1 sword can do.
Q22
Is there a playable (ie not "LA: --") race of Construct, Ooze or Magical Beast with one or more HD? I'd prefer the LA to be as low as possible, and the HD to be low-ish (somewhere from 3 to 7 or so).
EDIT:Okay, the Aranea is one example. I'd like to know if there are others.
EDIT2: Forgot to specify, it has to be Large or larger.Last edited by willpell; 2012-11-17 at 02:45 AM.

Becoming a lycanthrope is very much like multiclassing as an animal and gaining the appropriate Hit Dice.
A 24 No.
The Heal skill may be used to treat the effects of diseases, but AFAIK cannot be used to identify specific diseases affecting a creature.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
A25: Yes it increases as each class levels gives you an extra HD based upon that class [which counts as one more HD for the check]
A26: None technically. Dark gives you the extraplanar subtype which is not knowledgable as per PHB so you have to go by their race-type. So Dark Goblin would come under humanoids [Nature]. Although a nice DM might allow you knowledge planes for extraplanar.
A27: A creature counts as anything that is not an object (animated objects are creatures) however a monster has no clarification so that is upto the DM. However going by hold monster rulings you could argue that it's anything living..
To put it simply, if it has the ability to roll initiative than it is a creature.
Monster is a bit more flakey though.
Edit: Monster could very well count as everything in the game since the knowledge skill says that you roll against the "monsters HD" and since nearly every creature type is knowledgeable than surely every creature therefore is a monster.Last edited by mishka_shaw; 2012-11-16 at 09:06 AM.

Q28
Lets say that Shadowdancer, Wizard and Frenzied Berserker runs into opponents. FB goes into Frenzy, Shadowdancer uses his abilities to hide in the shadows and Wizard casts invisibility on himself. Once all opponents are dead neither Wizard or Shadowdancer come out. There is literally nobody around Frenzied Berserker that he can see. Does the Frenzy automatically ends or do they have to wait until it ends normally?

Should she run out of enemies before her frenzy expires, her rampage continues.To end the frenzy before its duration expires, the character may attempt a DC 20 Will save once per round as a free action.

Since the Dire Boar only has one natural attack, it gets 1.5 times its STR Bonus rounded down. In case of STR 33 that is 11*1.5=16.5 rounded down 16.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
A 30: Ask your DM
In the absence of written guidance in the class description and no errata, the DM must decide starting gold. If you are the DM, I recommend you check other base classes to see what class is "most" similar, then use that. A quick google search indicated sorcerer and bard are popular options.Last edited by mattie_p; 2012-11-16 at 08:48 PM.

Turn Undead has no friend or foe recognition, so the same thing happens to them as to hostile undead.

Yes, and you do not lose that penalty, when you lose your DEX bonus to AC.

Re: Q 31
Kenzer & Company's license with Wizards of the Coast expired in August of 2007, so Kingdoms of Kalamar is an unsupported third party setting and thus your question lies outside the scope of this thread.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXII
A35: Yes, as long as the cleric does not cast a spell that requires a Divine Focus.
If the spell requires a divine focus, such as the bless spell, he cannot cast it without the required holy symbol.Last edited by mattie_p; 2012-11-17 at 04:43 PM.

Q36
Can you enchant a weapon with stat bonuses?
Say i want a quarterstaff that gives me +2 to inteligence, is that legal.
Wondrous items that don’t match the affinity for a particular body slot should cost 50% more than wondrous items that match the affinity.
So is it legal?No spoilers in this signature.
