Q 127

How do you determine the number of individuals in a swarm?

to quote the SRD
"100 Fine creatures can fit into a single square"

Q 127

How do you determine the number of individuals in a swarm?

A127: Actually, check the definitions in the swarm subtype. "A swarm of Tiny creatures consists of 300 nonflying creatures or 1,000 flying creatures. A swarm of Diminutive creatures consists of 1,500 nonflying creatures or 5,000 flying creatures. A swarm of Fine creatures consists of 10,000 creatures, whether they are flying or not."

Q128

As a Crusader 4 / Cleric 1 / Ruby Knight Vindicator 4  what level Shadow Hand Maneuvers could I acquire?

A) 3rd : Count as a 6th level swordsage (2 1/2 from non RKV levels, 4 from RKV)
B) 4th : Count as a 8th level swordsage (4 from crusader 1/2 from cleric 4 from RKV)
C) 2nd : Count as a 4th level swordsage (4 1/2 from all levels)

if this is detailed on one of the pages, which page might that be?

128 you are not a swordsage, you are a ruby knight vindicator.  The prestige class fully advances your initiator level, but changes the disciplines you have access to.  You have initiator level 8 and can pick up 4th level maneuvers.

So (B) and all of your maneuvers are Crusaders'. I was just a bit confused by the entries as Swordsage 3 etc in Shadow Hand descriptions.

Ask your friendly neighborhood Spell-to-Power Erudite?
Other than that, Haste is actually really easy to convert - literally all you have to do is add "Power Points: 5" and you're pretty much done.

Q129 If you have Shadow Blade(fhe feat that lets you use your Dex mod for damage with shadow hand weapons I am AFB)  and an non-shadow hand aptitude weapon lets say an aptitude greatsword, does it lets you add your dex mod as damage to the greatsword?

Well... you need to assign it to a discipline (Psychometabolism, I'd guess), and decide if it is a general power or discipline restricted one (or on an Ardent mantle, etc). But yeah...

Q129 If you have Shadow Blade(fhe feat that lets you use your Dex mod for damage with shadow hand weapons I am AFB)  and an non-shadow hand aptitude weapon lets say an aptitude greatsword, does it lets you add your dex mod as damage to the greatsword?

A129: Yes. This sort of thing is why the Aptitude enhancement is considered to be so abusive.

A wielder who has feats that affect the use of a particular type of weapon, such as [examples], can apply the benefits of those feats to any weapon that has the aptitude quality.

Shadow Blade fits this description.

I would say no, because my reading of the ToB entry says that Aptitude only works for feats that are specific to one particular type of weapon (like Weapon Focus, Lightning Mace, and so on), whereas Shadow Blade works for a significant number of weapons (like Weapon Finesse or Shield and Pike Style).

Q132 Do extra standard actions take any time? As it, time dependent buffs? How do they interact with things that require a full round action? Can I, as a factotum, use a Move action to do whatever, then blow Cunning Surge and take a full round action?

[Agita]

Q131 How does Psi-Artificer stack up to a normal Artificer? Stronger? Weaker?

Depends on whether you can also access spells through a friendly Spell-to-Power Erudite. If you can, then undeniably stronger, since you'd get what the regular artificer gets, plus psionics. If not, probably weaker, simply because psionics doesn't have nearly as much support as spells do.

Oh wow... didn't even think of that. I guess that makes sense. Thanks.

A119: Technically, yes, but if you go too far down that road, you realize that a scroll of Maximized Magic Missile costs the same as a scroll of Magic Missile, and that only Heighten (and Sanctum) change that.

A132: They take no time. If you take ten thousand standard actions in a round, one round is still six seconds. Yes, you can do that. You could even cast a spell or attack, use Cunning Surge, and then take a full round action.

Nope.

You can however, abuse Sun School + Rapid Mount/Dismount + Stack of Blink Dogs if you're desperate for more attacks in your round.  You can get as many free action attacks as you have blink dogs.

Q133: If a sorcerer is in casting Summon Monster for this round, and he then uses his immediate action to cast Wings of Cover to avoid an attack, does it interrupt the casting of Summon Monster?

Q133: If a sorcerer is in casting Summon Monster for this round, and he then uses his immediate action to cast Wings of Cover to avoid an attack, does it interrupt the casting of Summon Monster?

It shouldn't -any more than taking a free action to reload your crossbow interrupts a full attack for someone with rapid reload.
