A 1018.
Picks and scythes are the ones I can think of offhand - also I believe one head of the Dwarven Spearaxe is x4 and the other is x3, though I forget which is which.

Q 1020
Does a Dark creature still need cover or concealment to hide? Contrary to other versions of Hide in Plain Sight, the version for the dark creature template does not mention that you can hide without cover or concealment.
Q 1021
Is there a 3.5 update for Lords of Darkness, or more specifically, has the smoking weapon property been updated?

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
A 1020 Yes.
The Dark Creature template in Tome of Magic provides an Extraordinary version of Hide in Plain Sight, and nearly always that means the HiPS does not remove the need for cover/concealment. Supernatural versions of Hide in Plain Sight (such as those of the Assassin and Shadowdancer classes) do remove the need for cover/concealment in order to use the Hide skill.
Do note that there is a Faerûn-only version of Dark Creature template in Cormyr: The Tearing Of The Weave on page 152. That template provides a Supernatural form of Hide in Plain Sight, while retaining the other limitations of the Tome of Magic Dark Creature template (i.e., it's still inoperable in natural daylight or the area of a magical effect producing similar lighting). [Because there is a base (not setting-specific) Dark Creature template and this one is in a Forgotten Realms adventure and not a general supplement, the "improved" template is specific to games and creatures of Faerûn, and thus unavailable elsewhere.]
A 1021 No.
To the best of my knowledge, Lords of Darkness is still the most recent version of the Smoking weapon special ability.Last edited by Curmudgeon; 2012-10-07 at 06:39 PM.

Q 1023
The kyuss worm is a monster that doesn't actually have a statblock (that I can find). Instead it has a little note in the spawn of kyusses monster entry where it says "Each worm is a Fine vermin with 1 hit point and AC 10. It can be killed by normal damage or the touch of silver".
By RAW a kyuss worm can be used for the emanothrope (were vermin) template?. However since it doesn't have an actual statblock (that I can find) How the heck does it interact with it?

Q1024
I need one or more Greyhawk deities who could qualify as the "God of Dreams". Preferably female, preferably Chaotic and/or Good. I found an evil goddess of nightmares but not one of dreams in general. If necessary I'll take any deity offering the Dream domain or something conceptually similar (as written, the Dream domain really ought to be called Nightmare, since nearly all its spells are nasty things like Phantasmal Killer).
Q1025
If you have 5 ranks in Knowledge: Religion, does the Synergy Bonus to Turn Undead apply to the Charisma Check to determine the maximum HD you can affect, or to the turning "damage" to actually affect them, or both?Last edited by willpell; 2012-10-08 at 03:27 AM.

The bonus is specific to the Turning Check section of the Turn or Rebuke Undead rules (see here), and has no bearing on the Turning Damage section.

I'm still curious to know if anybody would like to answer Q 1005, which I posted shortly before the forum was closed for maintenance.
Your answer will help me generally to interpret the "Saving Throw" line in spell descriptions more confidently. Let me know if my question belongs in another thread.

Q1029
Can the Fabricate spell be used to create Masterwork items, e.g. MW Full Plate?
I ask b/c creating a Masterwork item requires _two_ Craft checks, one for the item and one for the MW component. So maybe creating a MW item requires two castings of the spell?Let me give you a brief rundown of an average Post-3E Era fight: You attack an enemy and start kicking his shins. He then starts kicking your shins, then you take it in turns kicking until one of you falls over. It basically comes down to who started the battle with the biggest boot, and the only strategy involved is realizing when things have gone tits up and legging it.

A 1026 No.
You have to follow the chain of rules references through a few hops, but this is disallowed because the mechanism used by the Bands of Extended Range (Complete Psionic, page 113) cannot apply to a Mind Blade: "a semisolid blade composed of psychic energy". The object description says "the bands give the weapon a telekinetic push, doubling its range increment as if you enjoyed the effect of extend range". The mechanism of Extend Range (Complete Psionic, page 89) is to "provide a telekinetic thrust". The description of the Telekinetic Thrust power specifies that it operates on objects or creatures within the specified weight limit. A Mind Blade, being a class feature composed of energy, is not an object or creature, and does not have any weight (mass) to push telekinetically.
A 1028 Yes.
This is explicitly stated in the rules (see here):An evil undead cleric can bolster himself in this manner.
A 1029 Generally no.
You cannot use Fabricate to create an item composed of different materials because the spell is limited to material of one sort. There is no capability in the spell to produce superior results through multiple castings; the spell produces the same results regardless of the initial state of the material used.Full Plate: This armor consists of shaped and fitted metal plates riveted and interlocked to cover the entire body. The suit includes gauntlets, heavy leather boots, a visored helmet, and a thick layer of padding that is worn underneath the armor. Buckles and straps distribute the weight over the body, so full plate hampers movement less than splint mail even though splint is lighter. Each suit of full plate must be individually fitted to its owner by a master armorsmith ...
You could use Fabricate to create a masterwork item under the following limits of the spell:
- The item is composed entirely of material of one sort.
- You must complete the item with only a single Craft check.

Q 1032
When a feat, ACF, etc. refers to those spells that a wizard "knows," does that mean all spells on the Sorcerer/Wizard list or only those spells in a given wizard's spellbook (or perhaps something else)?

A 1031 No.
There is no density specification for settlements in D&D; this is left to each individual DM to decide during world building.
A 1032
A Wizard may know any number of spells, but the number known is a limited subset of their class list. Spells known refers to those spells the Wizard has learned either automatically from class abilities (initial level 0 and 1 spells, plus 2 spells per subsequent level) or as demonstrated by the relevant successful Spellcraft checks and study days. See the primary definition of learn: "to acquire knowledge of or skill in by study, instruction, or experience". It is not necessary for the Wizard to have written these spells in a spellbook, but they must have succeeded on all tasks leading up to the actual writing.
A 1033
The class description says the Soulknife gains the feat automatically (regardless of prerequisites), but does not except the character from the usual feat requirements for use. Speed of Thought, like most feats, cannot be used if the character does not meet the prerequisites.Last edited by Curmudgeon; 2012-10-09 at 02:05 AM.

Greyhawk deities of dream! Well, looking through the Living Greyhawk Deities list (which gives an expanded list with a lot more detail) most do seem to be evil, but:
Sehanine Moonbow - CG(NG) elf goddess "The Lady of Dreams".
Sotillion is an Oeridian goddess with the dream domain and alignment CG(CN).
The rest seem to be evil.

Q 1034
Is it viable to research a spell that changes it's type damage in core only rules? ex) Fireball (fire) into Fireball (force). Or is it only viable to become a Archmage to do so? (albeit no force)?

There is no "changing" involved in spell research.A wizard also can research a spell independently, duplicating an existing spell or creating an entirely new one.A divine spellcaster also can research a spell independently, much as an arcane spellcaster can.

The Ghost Sound spell can't produce intelligible speech, following the rule that Figments generally can't unless their spell description says otherwise.
From this it follows that the Ghost Sound spell can add any sound effect to the Silent Image spell that is not intelligible speech and that otherwise falls within the volume requirements of the spell. So in the area where the Ghost Sound's area of effect and the Silent Image's area of effect overlap, you can create "enhanced" Figments that are both visible and audible.
Following the rules of Figments further, we could say that a more realistic Silent Image – with sound effects added – is less likely to seem suspicious, so that observers are less likely to interact with it and make Will saves against it.

That reminds me...
Q1036
Generally speaking, what does it mean to "interact" with an illusion? Is it usually a matter of touch? Can, say, a Disguise Self which makes your skin lighter or darker without changing anything else ever be detected through "interacting" and thus prompt a Will save?

Q1037
If a racial template grants you natural weapons, does that grant you additional attacks as if you were wielding more than 1 weapon?
Ref: Broodguard from Savage Species, pg. 141- gains claws (1d2 damage) and bite (1d3 damage)
Q1038
If so, would that mean an unarmed Broodguard Monk gains a secondary and tertiary attack? (Unarmed Strike, Claws, Bite)
Q1039
If so, how do you figure out the attack penalties?Last edited by inexorabletruth; 2012-10-09 at 12:59 PM.
