Q47: Is there a weapon special ability similar to Collision, but with the bonus applied to attack rolls instead of damage rolls?
Closest you have are the Discipline (Tome of Battle) and Bane qualities. Those are the only qualities I can recall that increase attack bonus (the former only increases it, but has other prerequisites on use). |

I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle. The book doesn't even exist! Quotes: By yes, she means no.
That explains so much about my life. hiicantcomeupwithacharacterthatisntaghostwhyisthatamijustretardedorsomething
Why would you even do this? It hurts my eyes and looks like you ate your keyboard before suffering an attack of explosive diarrhea. If using Genesis to hide your phylactry, set it at -300 degrees farenheit. See how do-gooders fare with a liquid atmosphere. |

Bump Q 40 Where can I find variant mimics? I've heard that there's a grave mimic (pretends to be a gravestone). Q 48 When handing out XP for PCs, and the final CR is .5 higher due to templates and such, how do you figure out what the total is? Do you round up the CR, or round down? Like maybe it's a weak CR 3 or perhaps it's a really strong CR 2. |

I'd probably just split the difference. e.g., if CR 2 would be 400, and CR 3 would be 600, I'd just call it 500. |

 If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.

Q49: What sort of benefits does a sorcerer get from being an "abjuration specialist"? (sorcerers don't normally become specialists but he automatically becomes one if made into an incantatrix)

Q 40 Where can I find variant mimics? I've heard that there's a grave mimic (pretends to be a gravestone).
Here are the versions of mimic I can find: 1st edition: mimic, metal mimic 2nd edition: mimic, greater mimic, house hunter mimic, space mimic 3rd edition: mimic Q49: What sort of benefits does a sorcerer get from being an "abjuration specialist"? (sorcerers don't normally become specialists but he automatically becomes one if made into an incantatrix)
You could avoid this issue entirely by using the 3.5 version of incantatrix (Player's Guide to Faerun). |

Q 50: Can a sorcerer choose not to benefit from a feat she has? (for example, decide not to benefit from rapid metamagic because she needs a longer casting time for arcane spellsurge)?

It would depend on the wording of the feat. If it says "can" do so and so, then they should be able to choose not to use it. If it just says something like "no longer require", then there is no choice involved. |

Get total concealment or cover first. Even a tower shield will work for the cover, as it doesn't have to be total cover. |

You can make a DC 15 concentration check to use a skill defensively. Assuming you can consistently make the DC 20 concentration check to gain psionic focus, this is no problem. |

Can you tell me where defensive skill use is said to be allowed, please? I'm trying to figure out a way for a low-level warblade (possibly with some dipping) to consistently hit things like true dragons, with a DM that is notoriously stingy about ability score boosting, magic weapons, and extra feats from flaws. Thinking about trying to alternate Emerald Razor and Deep Impact but getting torn apart for it doesn't sound fun. |

Special
You can use Concentration to cast a spell, use a spell-like ability, or use a skill defensively, so as to avoid attacks of opportunity altogether. This doesn’t apply to other actions that might provoke attacks of opportunity. |

I'm a dumb.  Read the whole Concentration description in the psionic section of the SRD, and all of it except the Special section in the PHB. Thank you. |

Elder Evils: "Any intelligent and evil creature can swear service to an elder evil if the creature knows of its existence. Doing so grants the creature one bonus feat, plus an extra bonus feat for every five character levels or Hit Dice. These bonus feats must be selected from among the vile feats given in the accompanying table. Elder evils do not grant spells."
Q52 Is there anything (besides, you know, a shred of human decency) preventing you from worshiping ALL the Elder Evils?

A52: As someone who advocates the book specifically for that ability, I am ashamed that I never thought of that. I assume running out of feats to select is the main reason though. |

So is there any reason you can't select a feat again if you don't have it because you've used the dark chaos feat shuffle to replace it with something useful? |
