Yes, they can. There is no requirement in the section for characters to be epic.

The methods of exceeding wealth by level that actually work best are all simple interactions between spells and the value of trade-goods. E.g. wall of iron gets you several hundred pounds of iron that can be divided up and sold for a few coins per pound. Ultimately though, deliberately trying to exceed wealth by level is trying to break the game and should probably be avoided unless WBL wasn't being utilized anyway.

Q1187
Say you're a Wizard, then you take a level of fighter with the Armored Mage ACF in Complete Mage, intending to eventually qualify as an Eldritch Knight. Since Eldritch Knight causes you to gain extra spells "as if you gained a level in" the previous class, which is in this case Wizard, if you've named Wizard with Armored Mage, does the immunity to ASF apply to spells gained through your Eldritch Knight levels? Or do the spells actually have to come from a Wizard level to count as Wizard spells?

2nd level, actually; you use your fighter level +1 for Armored Mage. And I'm pretty sure it would apply to a 2nd-level spell metamagicked in a 3rd level slot; between that and the fact that higher-level spells are increasingly likely to be something you cast before the battle which does good stuff for a long long time, I think it's a viable build (though hardly a strong one).

Q1188
After taking the Lolth-Touched Template (MM IV pg 93), a character's alignment shifts to Chaotic Evil. Yet no where does it say it has to remain that way.
Is it possible to eventually have a non-chaotic-evil Lolth-Touched player character?

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
A 1188 Ask your DM.
Lolth-touched creatures are blessed specially by the Spider Goddess of the drow.
- Removing a part of a template permanently removes all template benefits. This is consistent with the general treatment of deity-granted boons, and the description of Lolth as a goddess who continually tests worshipers to determine if they are worthy (Complete Divine, page 114). As a codicil, the DM may determine that rejection of this special blessing of Lolth is fatal, in keeping with this passage from Drow of the Underdark (page 15):As should be expected from so violent a society and so rapacious a deity, the holy rites of Lolth are brutal and bloody affairs. Living sacrifice is a central tenet of all but the most minor of rituals. The drow worship not out of love, but out of fear, and their faith demands that their fear be spread to others. Lolth watches, Lolth tests—and above all, Lolth consumes.
- Removing a part of a template temporarily removes all template benefits. This stems from the primary treatment of alignment in Player's Handbook (page 104): Choosing an alignment for your character means stating your intent to play that character a certain way.
- Removing the alignment part of a template through actions consistent with another alignment, over a number of levels, will result in the DM deciding what the character's new alignment is, but have no other consequences regarding template benefits. This basically is "rule 0": (page 4 of Dungeon Master's Guide):You are the master of the game—the rules, the setting, the action, and ultimately, the fun. This is a great deal of power, and you must use it wisely.

Q 1189
Not sure if this is really a RAW related question, but here goes.
A Gargantuan dragon with Clumsy maneuverability is flying towards a castle the players are guarding.
When the dragon is within 240 feet the CL 18 cleric casts Gate - Planar Travel and "I aim it right in front of the dragon, with destination to the elemental plane of fire."
I ruled that the dragon would be allowed a Spell Resistance as well as a Will:Saving Throw since...
Planar Travel
As a mode of planar travel, a gate spell functions much like a plane shift spell,
Target: Creature touched, or up to eight willing creatures joining hands (...)
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
and anyone or anything that moves through is shunted instantly to the other side.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
No, it was not. The mention of Plane Shift in the Gate description is a note of similarity, not a statement that Gate inherits mechanics from Plane Shift. Even if this were not the case, such an inheritance of mechanics only applies to factors that are not overridden in the derived spell's description - and Gate specifically lists no save and no SR.
For the implied not strictly RAW question of how to prevent this from becoming a no-save instant fight ender, I calculate that even with clumsy maneuverability the dragon would be able to turn around and fly right back out in a mere 125' of movement, and that's based on just the fly speed and maneuverability without considering any extra factors such as the Hover, Wingover, and Improved Maneuverability (I don't recall the book for this one) feats. Any dragon that big will have plenty of speed to do that in one move action whether or not he has feats or other abilities to help, and the damage from a brief dip in the plane of fire will be barely noticeable. The player can close the Gate by not concentrating on it, but he can't time that to be during the dragon's turn - either the dragon won't have gone through yet, or it will already be back.Like 4X (aka Civilization-like) gaming?

Gate is a standard action spell. Couldn't the caster ready his action to come to pass when the dragon is at a certain distance and then cast it 5' in front of it?

Forgot to add that yes, the cleric did delayredy the action.
Add... Come to think of it, players accidentally step through portals "all the time" in dungeons and are usually not allowed a ST to avoid being sucked through.

A1191
This one has already been asked on this thread. The AoO occurs in response to the opponent taking the "stand up from prone" action, before that action is resolved. The character is still prone, so you cannot trip them; you make any other sort of AoO that would be legal, and then they finish their action and stand up.
A1192
Unarmed strike is not a "weapon", and more to the point does not have a size category, so I'm 95% certain it wouldn't be affected by Powerful Build. One more thing wrong with the Monk, I guess....Last edited by willpell; 2012-10-26 at 01:53 AM.

A1184 Suppliment
The only other source of hard currency I know of that can increase your WBL is the Vassal of Bahamut class feature "Shared Trove." At PrC levels 2, 5, and 8, a stack of platinum literally poofs in front of you in the amount of 100x your character level. Though it isn't actual wealth, you do get a pretty spiffy suit of armor from the PrC for free as well (a Masterwork Chain Shirt with a +8 armor bonus.)Just in case, in any game I've applied to without being selected: DMs are more than welcome to use my submission as an NPC as they wish!

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
Actually, it is counted as both a natural and manufactured weapon for all effects, as stated in its entry. There is also a table for small and large monk unarmed strike damage. The only issue that could say that a goliath could not would be the wording of the powerful build ability
"A goliath can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty."
So you can use larger weapons, but your unarmed strike would technically still be medium.Last edited by Crake; 2012-10-26 at 05:11 AM.

Re: Simple Q&A D&D 3.5 (by RAW) XXI
In this case I would go with the logic that a monk's unarmed strike isn't "designed" for any size. Likewise, you are never larger than yourself, so even if you count your body as a weapon "designed" for you (you could argue that this is what monk training accomplishes), it is never designed for a size other than your own.

1.) Yes, every character even has to take the penalty and bonus from Power Attack until his next turn.
2.) As above.

Q1195
A level 2 Evil Cleric can Command 2 HD of undead. If he has one of the elemental domains, say Fire, can he also Command 2 HD of fire creatures, or does he have a single 2-HD cap among all Commanded creatures?
Q1196
When you take a standard action to issue mental orders to your commanded undead, do you have to take one action per creature, or can you send the same command to all your minions at once? Will they continue following the order indefinitely if able, or do you have to keep directing their actions anew every turn? What's the limit on how sophisticated the orders can be; if you command something intelligent like a vampire, can one standard-action command force it to begin acting out a five-hundred-year campaign of moves and countermoves? If an undead is sentient, can it interpret a vaguely-worded command creatively if not pre-empted with very explicit wording? If an undead is not sentient, can it be "programmed" with a detailed sequence of rote actions, or does it have a very limited "memorY' and thus require very short and simple commands at every step of a process?
