Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
Q889 Can you combine Snap kick with the attack made as part of a Spring Attack?
Q890 Snap Kick states that the attack made due the feat deals damage "damage equal to your basic unarmed attack damage+1/2 str modifier". Does this means that it doesn't takes into account stuff that enhances the Unarmed attack like a Monk's Unarmed Strike Class feature or the Beast Strike feat (Dragon Mag, you Unarmed attack deals damage=unarmed attack+claw/slam damage)?

A 990 clarification
"Your base unarmed attack damage" does not include extras like Beast Strike; that's correct. However, the Monk Unarmed Strike class feature just redefines what their base unarmed attack damage is. The pronoun "your" makes the Snap Kick damage character-dependent rather than fixed or only a function of size.

Technically Knockback is a bull rush attempt.As such,you don't gain AoO from his movement.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
Q992: I'd like to create a custom Cursed Item for a character, and have that be an Item Familiar. But the Item Familiar must be worth at least 2,000gp. The item in question would be a gizmo of at-will Message, which would put it right at 2,000gp. However, I'm not sure if there are any price adjustments if a particular item is cursed, and can't seem to find anything in the SRD (other than possibly reverse-engineering for the Specific Cursed Items). Is there anything standard, or is that strictly an "ask the DM" question?

All custom magic items are "Ask your DM" questions. Basically only published D&D 3.5 items and common improvements following the table in Magic Item Compendium on page 234 are allowed at a fixed price. Everything else must be approved by each individual DM.Last edited by Curmudgeon; 2012-09-30 at 05:25 PM.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
Q 993
Is the Flesh to Stone spell the only spell above the 5th level whose instantaneous effect can be reversed by the Break Enchantment spell?
The rules confuse me. In the class spell lists, the Break Enchantment spell is summarized in the SRD as follows: "Frees subjects from enchantments, alterations, curses, and petrification [emphasis mine]." In the more detailed description of the Break Enchantment spell, the following sentence appears: "If the spell is one that cannot be dispelled by dispel magic, break enchantment works only if that spell is 5th level or lower." So the Flesh to Stone spell looks like an outstanding exception to this rule, doesn't it? But is it really a unique exception to this rule, or are there others?
Q 994
When you free a creature from petrification with the Break Enchantment spell, does that creature have to make a Fortitude save to avoid being killed in the transformation, just as when you cast the Stone to Flesh spell?

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
A 994 No.
If you're successful with Break Enchantment you've already passed the caster level check necessary to overcome Flesh to Stone. You follow the rules for the spell in question, not other spells which can accomplish the same end.
A 995 No.
Improved Weapon Familiarity allows the character to treat exotic weapons specific to their race as martial instead. This has no bearing on the Champion of Corellon Larethian requirement for proficiency with all (regular) martial weapons and heavy armor.Last edited by Curmudgeon; 2012-10-01 at 02:40 AM.

Q997 If I ready an action to attack a spellcaster when they cast a spell and they want to cast defensively, do they make two concentration checks.. One due to the damage I've dealt with my readied action, and one to avoid an attack of opportunity?
Q998 If I ready an action to attack a spellcaster when they cast a spell, do I also get an attack of opportunity if they DON'T cast defensively?

Q 999
Are you required to do your attacks in a full attack in a specific order? Can you do them in any order?
Example: BAB 16, greater two-weapon fighting (two light weapons), haste would get you: Main hand +14/+9/+4/-1; Off-Hand +14/+9/+4; Haste (with either hand) +14
Could you start with three +14 attacks and then continue with two +9 attacks and two +4 attacks and finish with one -1 attack or any other combination?
Q 1000
If a creature's only natural attacks are a pair of claws and the creature is not wielding any weapons, would both be considered primary attacks or would one suffer the -5 for being a secondary attack?Last edited by Andezzar; 2012-10-01 at 08:33 AM.

You resolve each iterative attack completely before choosing targets for the next one.

Unlike how it works with wielding two weapons, creatures who have a Claw/Claw/Bite treat both claws as primary attacks.Last edited by willpell; 2012-10-01 at 08:35 AM.

@mattie_p: What about extra attacks from haste, flurry of blows or similar abilities? They go in the first batch, right?

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
Yes.
Anything that grants extra attacks, such as haste, flurry of blows, whirling frenzy, Rapid Shot, TWF tree, etc, all have specific rules regarding how they affect the attack bonus of the character using that ability. But they do not override the general rule that attacks are taken in order from higher to lower attack bonus, they merely modify that bonus. If you have two or more attacks at the same bonus, it is the character's choice which one to take first.
A 997: Yes.
A readied action is separate from casting defensively. The concentration options are not mutually exclusive. That is, if you are affected by more than one criteria that subjects you to making a concentration check, you must make all of them. Similarly, if more than one individual has a readied action, the caster must make concentration checks separately.
A 998: Yes, if the caster is in one of your threatened squares.Last edited by mattie_p; 2012-10-01 at 10:57 AM.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
998 follow-up Ok, that's what I thought. I didn't know about the multiple checks from multiple sources of damage, though. So if I do damage with a readied attack and an attack of opportunity, is that considered one source of damage, or two? (Thereby requiring one concentration check versus two)

A 998 followup: Two attack rolls means two separate sources of damage, and two separate concentration checks.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
A 996: Yes.
I am aware this contradicts "common knowledge" on this board and others. A negative answer to this question is the key component to the "Idiot Crusader" build. However, please follow my logic and my RAW examples. If you disagree with my answer, let's open a new thread.
* Nowhere in Tome of Battle does it state that you cannot learn the maneuver twice. Chapter 3 of ToB details the requirements for learning a maneuver. The opening paragraphs of that chapter state it is "analogous" to Chapter 10 of the PHB - the chapter detailing magic. While it is clear that Blade Magic and "regular" magic are not identical, they are analogous (or similar). For example, a multiclass wizard and sorcerer can learn the same spell twice, once for each class, if they wish. As p37 of ToB explicitly refers to chapter 10 of the PHB, and is a primary rules source, this should illumine the answer more than the FAQ and Sage/Custserv.
* This is not covered in the errata of ToB (such as it is).
* This is not covered in the FAQ, despite claims to the contrary I've seen elsewhere. What is covered in the FAQ is the following:Q. Could a crusader (ToB 8) choose to learn or ready fewer maneuvers than he or she would be entitled to?
No. You must learn and ready the full number of maneuvers entitled to you by your level. Otherwise, you’d be able to cycle through your favorites faster, which defeats the purpose of the crusader’s unique recharge mechanic.
Can a character choose to delay a choice (such as spending skill points or selecting a feat) until a later level?
No. All choices regarding character advancement must be made as soon as they become available. You can’t save skill points from one level to another, nor can you delay selecting a feat from, say, 3rd level to 4th level.
* This is discussed in some Sage's / CustServ Q&A, with contradictory answers. As you may be aware, per WoTC 3.5 primary source rules, Sage/Custserv are the least important sources. Please see the following Q&A, compiled from the WoTC boards (spoilered for length):SpoilerOriginally Posted by Sage/CustServ
So this source says that they are kept separate, except when they aren't, and don't cite rules text to justify their answers. Take this source with a grain of salt, please.
Sorry for the length of answer, but go ahead and learn them twice.Last edited by mattie_p; 2012-10-01 at 02:40 PM.

Unlike standard bull rush attempts, knockback attempts don't provoke attacks of opportunity, and you don't move with the enemy you knock backward.

As per the spell description, you iterate over each ongoing spell currently in effect on the creature. Targeted dispels on creatures do not target objects in their possession.Last edited by Curmudgeon; 2012-10-01 at 03:34 PM. Reason: corrected number

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
You cited the pertinent rules text for the feat, but have drawn an invalid conclusion, I'm afraid.
The rules text quoted above cites the precise differences between the feat and a standard bull rush. Note that the attempt (which normally provokes an AoO from any creatures that threatens the bull rusher due to movement by the attacker) does not provoke any AoO when using this feat. (This is because the attacker does not move)
Movement by the defender still triggers AoOs, assuming they move through a threatened square, as is normal for bull rush.Last edited by mattie_p; 2012-10-01 at 03:13 PM.
