Q139 - Is there any spell, item or template (LA+0) that grants dragonblood subtype? I can't seem to afford Dragon Touched feat...
Only template that comes to mind is the Dragonborn template. Can't, i'm evil =/ Dip a single level into Dragonfire Adept to get the Dragontouched feat for free, and an invocation, and a decent skill list. |

Q142: What is the best (fewest ECL, LA, gp, etc) way gain continuous or very long lasting Tongues? Obviously saint or simply casting it are much more suboptimal than I was hoping for. Permanency not good enough? Not reliable enough. I expect it to go down with every dispel. Besides I was thinking more non-caster stuff anyways. Begging the party wizard is never fun.  |

An interesting read, nice to see a civil discussion The point of Spell Resistance is to make it harder to get buffed. And healed. Don't forget that. Huge amounts of people are fuckwits. That doesn't mean that fuckwit is a valid lifestyle. Old Geezer's Law of Hobby Taste: The more objectively inconsequential a hobby is, the more disagreements within the community will be expressed in outrageously insulting, overblown, and ludicrously emotionally laden terms. More Funny than HumbleYour a shifter... you have all you ever need. It blows MoMF out of the water But if your greedy for more [ Wish] for something that only effects you, like another class level or two that doesn't count against your ECL. Yes, I'm the 3.0 "Masters of the Wild" shifter, the awesome kind. My favorite form to take is Force Dragon. Yes, I am immortal ... My character is hands down the coolest guy in the campaign and there is nothing I could possibly want. PBMC gets a cookie for DotA r |

Q143: By what ways can a wizard achieve Sneak Attack/Sudden Strike without taking special class levels or taking the Martial Stance-Assassin's Stance Feat?
I search for a way to profit with my caster of the Unssen Seer class feature...

Wizards are going to have a ridiculously hard time qualifying for Unseen Seer without dipping another class, anyway. Just take a level of Rogue at 1 and use DotU for Poison Use, Poison Spell, and max out Craft [Poison-Making] and grab the Unseen Crafter spell from Races of Eberron. The end result is not terrible. |

Would be a nice idea, but I'm planning on taking one level in Ardent Dilettante and via House Rule I'm allowed to save skill points so I can qualify for the skill points of Unseen Seer via the level of Ardent Dilettante. For the higher levels of Ardent Dilettante I'm qualified by the two levels of Unseen Seer. But it would feel like kinda waste not to use the damage bonus, and sneak attack/sudden strike would match from the flavor, too. But I don't know any items to get the ability in the first place (at least I got one for trapfinding). |

Honestly, if you're worried about wasting class features... don't be an Ardent Dilettante.

Q135: Assuming you're a 5th level conjuror that just took level 2 in Master Specialist, what's the best 3rd level conjuration spell you could nab that's not already on the Wizard/Sorcerer spell list (and is also the better choice)?

Sure you can (but it won't have any languages known without investing skills). There are some nifty horseshoes from Savage Species that do just that. |

Q 146: A riding dog is listed as having Str 15, Dex 15, Con 15, Int 2, Wis 12, Cha 6. If I buy a middle-aged riding dog, does it have Str 14, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 3, Wis 13, Cha 7? Q 147: Supposing middle-aged dogs are intelligent enough to learn a language, what's the cheapest way to grant a dog an understanding of common? |

I've just realised that druids and clerics don't need sleep to refresh spells, just 1hr to chill out each day.
Q148:
Can my druid wake up at dawn, cast his remaining spells from yesterday, then meditate for an hour and prepare his new set while the previous ones are still in effect?
Q149:
Can my druid cast Owls Insight (pumping wisdom for 1 hour) and prepare bonus spells based off his high wisdom? (if 1hr isn't enough he can extend it)
If so, a) would he have to use them within the hour before Owl's Insight wares off?
b) would he have to cast Owl's Insight before or after he meditated?

There are a few Vestiges that grant Tongues. One is Humanoid only, and one prevents you from lying in that language. Might help though. |

Spells cast in the last 8 hours count against your spells recovered the next day, so that probably won't work with either. |

Q150: are there any 1st level spells that can move an ally? I am playing a supermount w/ a dragon, and I want to make him a bit more mobile. I know there's Hustle, Slide, and Greater Slide, along w/ Lion's Charge, but I'm trying to get it as cheap as possible. It's fine if it's a standard action to cast.

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.
Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY! They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.
Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.
Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time. I give you much fu. Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie. |

Q151 What happens if a druid casts "awaken" on his animal companion?
A151: It becomes a magical beast and (unless the DM Rule 0's it) no longer qualifies as an animal companion (since it needs to remain an animal). Q152: If a psion uses his skill points to buy skill tricks, does his psicrystal gain those same skill tricks, since it has the same skill set as its master? |

Q151.1 Does it loose every benefit it gained from being an animal companion? Including HD? Does the loss of HD counts as negative levels?
Some is obvious, some is not. Are there rules for what happens to an animal companion when it's druid abandons it?
