Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
Q160:
If i get the ability to add another Ability modifier to a skill (such as Cloud Anchorite, which adds Wisdom to Balance, Climb and Jump), would i then also be able to add bonuses gained for that kind of ability check (Marshal with Motivate Wisdom in the previous case) for those Skill points, leaving it being Ranks + WisMod + DexMod + WisCheckBonus + DexCheckBonus + Misc?

No. In that case, Balance is still a Dexterity-based skill check, while Climb and Jump are still Strength-based skill checks; the Cloud Anchorite ability doesn't make those skills into Wisdom-based skill checks, so Motivate Wisdom wouldn't affect them.

Q160 continued:
The reason for my question is the counterargument that they would become simutaneously Dex and Wis Skill checks, hence get bonuses from both.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
No, Cloud Anchorite, or more specifically the Wisdom of the Mountain ability, does not make the aforementioned skills WIS based. It merely adds an untyped bonus to skill checks with those skills. The value of that bonus happens to be equal to the WIS modifier of the character. That is unrelated to which attribute a skill is based on.
Motivate Wisdom only works with WIS checks and WIS based skill checks (i.e. checks for WIS based skills).

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
Q161
How do hitpoints transfer over in Polymorph? If I was a human with 15/20 hit points and I polymorphed into something with 12 max hp, do I have 8/12 hp because it retains the ratio, or 12(15)/12?
Q162
If you Polymorph a Warforged into a non-construct form, does he regain the lost hitpoints as if he has rested for a night as the polymorphed form, or does the fact that Warforged don't have natural healing preclude that?

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
A 161 correction
This is wrong (even though it is what the SRD says). The new rules on Polymorph as found in PHB2 are very specific that you do not change hit points when changing form.
This does lead to the complex question of ability damage, which is why many DMs prefer the old rules where you used the new Con modifier.
So your hp will remain 15/20.

Q 164
According to the Primary Source Rule, can the rules from the Polymorph Subschool (PHB 2) overwrite the rules for Alter Self/Polymoprph/Shapechange from the PHB?

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine

I would say no, for two reasons.
Firstly, as far as I know, the last printing of the Player's Handbook II was 2006. But there was a late printing of the Player's Handbook in 2008. This printing actually includes, on page 320, a supplemental section with the title "POLYMORPH SUBSCHOOL."
Secondly, the rules for the Polymorph subschool include the following (quoted from page 320 in the Player's Handbook in front of me):
Polymorph Subschool and Preexisting Spells: Any spell based on either alter self or polymorph should be considered to have the polymorph subschool. However, a spell's existing rules text takes priority over that of the subschool.

Does not apply. It is impossible to cast a spell while concentrating on another spell:

No, the Polymorph Subschool doesn't change any aspect of the existing Polymorph spell. However, that's not what's going on in this case. Here's what Player's Handbook II says (page 95):Unless stated otherwise in the spell’s description, the target of a polymorph spell takes on all the statistics and special abilities of an average member of the new form in place of its own except as follows: ...
• The target retains its own hit points.

You still have to overcome the door's AC if you're making regular attacks, and Power Attack adjustments remain in place for the round.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
There are no qualifiers to that statement, so it would be both. CON changes after the spell would follow the normal rules, as per page 290 of Dungeon Master's Guide:
If a character’s Constitution score drops, then he loses 1 hit point per Hit Die for every point by which his Constitution modifier drops.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
A168 how do you miss a door? Well I guess with a 1. But I thought there was talk about automatically hitting the door, which means no attack roll, and therefore no power attack.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
I meant the CON change from choosing a form with a higher CON than the subject. Polymorph explicitly gives the CON of the new form. The bonus hit points are a feature of that ability score.

Re: Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine
Re: A 164The highlighted statement is correct in the context of normal character ability scores, but explicitly excluded from consideration by the language of Polymorph/Alter Self.
Re: A 168Armor Class
Objects are easier to hit than creatures because they usually don’t move, but many are tough enough to shrug off some damage from each blow. An object’s Armor Class is equal to 10 + its size modifier + its Dexterity modifier.Furthermore, if you take a full-round action to line up a shot, you get an automatic hit with a melee weapon and a +5 bonus on attack rolls with a ranged weapon.Last edited by Curmudgeon; 2015-01-28 at 06:29 PM.

Yes.

No. Damage reduction only applies to damage from manufactured and natural weapons. Damaging Release is a Supernatural Ability.

Q 171
Are there rules anywhere for using a wooden stake on a vampire during combat (Buffy the Vampire Slayer style) rather than when it's helpless in its coffin? Libris Mortis discusses the ramifications of using the wooden stake, but only in a post hoc "what to do next" sort of way as far as I can see.
