    All non-dice damage bonuses are multiplied on critical hits, so Maiming Strike damage would always be multiplied on a confirmed critical. Spirited Charge is unclear, though.
    When mounted and using the charge action, you deal double damage with a melee weapon (or triple damage with a lance).
    Sneak attack and Maiming Strike are extra damage beyond what your weapon deals. Spirited Charge is specific to "damage with a melee weapon", so it's up to each individual DM whether that's inclusive or exclusive of extra damage ─ independent of the chosen melee weapon ─ associated with the attack.

    Q 980

    Inquisition Domain text: "Gain a +4 bonus on dispel checks."
    Dispelling Chord text: "...you gain a +2 competence bonus on any dispel checks you make until the end of your turn."


    Do these bonuses apply to dispel checks you make when using a Dispelling weapon (are those considered your dispel checks)?

    So, given that evidence, can you say you can use Magic Missile per RAW using the spell description, or can you only use it RAI? Because it says Targets in the quick description, does that mean RAW means no and RAI means yes?
    As others have said, you can use magic missile. This is supported by a careful grammatical reading of the passage.

    What I mean is as follows. The words "single" and "targeted" are both adjectives. If two adjectives directly precede a noun, as these two do to "spell", they necessarily modify the noun.

    Now, this can be changed, but only by punctuation. The sentence that would rain on your parade would have the hyphenated phrase "single-targeted spell" in it--but the phrase is, instead, "single targeted spell". And so, even by a strict grammatical reading, "single" applies to "spell" and not to "targeted".

    A 980 No.

    A dispelling weapon has its own caster level, and the wielder uses the weapon's targeted Dispel Magic effect. This is unaffected by adjustments to the dispel checks of the character wielding the weapon. The weapon's dispel checks remain at 1d20+5 for dispelling, or d20+11 for greater dispelling.

    A 980 additional No.

    The item creation formulas don't change based on the actual characteristics of the creators; items are created at the specified minimum characteristics.
    Magic items produce spells or spell-like effects. For a saving throw against a spell or spell-like effect from a magic item, the DC is 10 + the level of the spell or effect + the ability modifier of the minimum ability score needed to cast that level of spell.
    The CL of 5 specified for a dispelling weapon is the minimum caster level needed to cast Dispel Magic (a 3rd-level spell). Similarly, the CL of 11 specified for a greater dispelling weapon is the minimum caster level needed to cast Greater Dispel Magic (a 6th-level spell).

    Better-quality gear requires a PC with the appropriate item creation feat to craft a custom item, with commensurate cost increases.

    Q 981
    What happens if a cleric that somehow lost its domain granted power, via ACF, wants to substitute said domain with the spell substitute domain (CC. 128)?

    Q 981b
    What happens if a cleric that can cast spells from a domain spontaneously, (acf phb 2. 37) decides to substitute said domain with the spell substitute domain (CC. 128)? Would he be able to cast its new spells spontaneously?

    Q 981c
    Similarly what happens if a cleric uses substitute domain (CC. 128) to substitute away a domain which qualified it for a PrC or which granted power was a feat that qualified him for another feat or a PrC? Does he lose the prestige class / feats?

    Substitute Domain only applies to the Cleric's current domains.
    Each domain gives the cleric access to a domain spell at each spell level he can cast, from 1st on up, as well as a granted power.
    A partial domain (missing either its spells or its granted power) does not meet this definition from the Cleric class description (Player's Handbook, page 33). There is no option in the spell description to select a part of a domain for substitution, so the spell will do nothing.

    A 981b No.

    Spontaneous Domain Casting requires the Cleric to pick a single domain at the time the ACF is chosen (Cleric level 1). This is a one-time choice, and does not change.

    A 981c
    A character can’t use a feat if he or she has lost a prerequisite.
    For prestige classes, only those in Complete Warrior and Complete Arcane require the character to continuously meet entry requirements; see the (different) rules in those books on pages 16 and 17, respectively. For other classes you only need to satisfy entry requirements each time you add a class level. (See LEVEL ADVANCEMENT sequence in Player's Handbook, pages 58-59. Step 1. Choose Class activates the entry requirements on every class entry, not just at class level 1.) With most classes loss of entry requirements would not affect current capabilities, but only preclude further advancement in the class.

    Q984: Are spells that affect multiple targets, such as mass owl's wisdom, or spells shared via the share spells class ability that almost anyone with a familiar/mount/companion gets treated as one spell affecting multiple targets, or multiple copies of one spell? For instance, if someone successfully cast dispel magic on one person being affected by one of those things, would it dispel it for everyone? Would an incantatrix retroactively adding a metamagic feat to such a spell affect everyone with one use of the ability?

    A single casting produces a single spell (even with multiple affected targets), and a targeted Dispel Magic would be able to end that spell (completely) if in range of and targeted at any part of the spell, as usual (i.e., a targeted dispel does not need to be in range of all parts of the spell targeted to end that spell).

    The Incantatrix's Metamagic Effect ability has a requirement:
    To use this ability, the incantatrix must be adjacent to or within the spell effect and make a successful Spellcraft check (DC 18 + [3 × modified spell level]).
    If the Incantatrix is not adjacent to or within the spell effect, Metamagic Effect does nothing; only spell effects within range can be affected. The ability applies to spell effects, not (necessarily) entire spells.

    I asked a similar question a few months ago, but got kind of sparse answers, and now the answer I gleaned from the response is being disputed. Just for redundancy's sake, let me run these specific scenarios by you guys.

    Q986-1
    Character A is affected by a constant Nondetection spell. Character B happens to be standing right next to character A, 10 feet away or less, but has no active effects that would hinder scrying. Character C casts greater scrying, targeting character B. Character B fails his will save against Greater Scrying, character C fails her caster level check against Nondetection (though it's disputable whether she had to make one in the first place). Can character C see character A? If not, is he simply invisible to the spell, while everything else is not? Does he cast a shadow? Can she hear him talk?

    Q986-2
    Similar to the above scenario, character C casts Greater Scrying on character B, but this time character A is not nearby. Character B again fails his will save. Immediately thereafter, while the Greater Scrying spell is still active, characters A and B meet up at the same location. Character C again fails her caster level check against Nondetection, though again I'm not sure whether she actually needs to make the check or not. Can character C see character A with the spell?

    Q986-3
    Character A, still affected by Nondetection, breaks through the wall and jumps out of character C's a flying castle, tears a hole the roof of the building he lands on, and then stays in that building for an extended period of time. Character C casts Arcane Eye. She flies the magical sensor out the hole in the side of her castle, looks down, sees the hole in the roof of the other building, and flies the sensor down through it, at which point the sensor is within line of sight of character A. If a caster level check is required at any point during this, she fails it again. Can she see character A?

    Yes, I believe you can prepare spells in an Anti-Magic Field. Of course, you still can't cast any spell prepared inside an Anti-Magic Field until you leave it or the Field is deactivated (either dismissed from the inside or dispelled – more accurately disjoined – from the outside). Until you cast them, prepared spells are only potential magic, not actual magic, so I don't know how an Anti-Magic Field could affect them one way or another.

    I also know of no rule that prohibits preparing spells in an Anti-Magic Field. I would be surprised if someone found one that does. (But I have been surprised before – that's why I read this thread!)

    A 986-1

    If Character A is affected by Nondetection, they cannot be detected by a divination spell like Greater Scrying. The provision in Nondetection which requires a caster level check when "a divination is attempted against the warded creature" does not require the creature to be specifically targeted. Attempting to detect the creature adjacent to another target still requires a caster level check. Failing that caster level check means the spellcaster cannot see the warded creature or their shadow, hear their voice, or directly detect any other indication of their presence. Hearing the other character speak to the warded creature may give an indirect indication that they are nearby, but not necessarily within 10'.

    A 986-2

    The answer is the same as above. Nondetection functions as stated.

    A 986-3 No.

    The answer is still the same as above: Nondetection functions as stated.

    This might be permitted by RAW, but I'm pretty sure the fluff on spellcasting has always been that preparing a spell means casting it most of the way, leaving it to "float" until completed. So any DM who is coming from that basis might well veto the idea. I'd say the answer is more "ask your DM" than "yes" or even "probably".

    RAW is pretty clear though. The description of the spell Antimagic sphere tells us what you can't do within the spell's area. Preparing spells is not one of those things.
