Q44: can you switch between one handing and two handing a weapon in an attack action?
It is a free action to move something from one hand to the other so this should work. |

Q41
Are there any templates which can be applied to oozes that make them mindless without changing their type?
Fiendish and Celestial would give them an INT score of 3. Niether changes type on an ooze (only animals and vermin). |

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. |

Q43'ish: If you are a normal, run of the mill Human and cast Lesser Holy Transformation, your type temporarily changes to [Outsider] for the duration of the spell. Can you then cast Alter Self and/or Polymorph to assume the form of an even better Outsider? Or would the spells not "stack" like that?
I think that works. I used to hear people talk about using it with the Fiendform spell. |

Q45: Can metamagic feats be applied to epic spells? For example: Sudden Maximize or DMM?

Q46
Residual MM -- if I cast a quickened spell (that also has some other MM applied) and then a non-quickened spell in the same round, can the lingering metamagic effect that second spell, or does it necessarily have to wait until the following round to work?

 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.

Q47
Reserves of Strength:
the example doesn't really cover it, so -- 20th level wizard casting fireball with this feat: does it do 13d6 or 23d6?
You answered your own question. The text doesn't tell you. You'll need to ask your DM. By RAW, 23d6. |

Q 48: CM p.44 - Master of Undeath - "...when you create an undead creature, it doesn't count against your normal limit of undead creatures..."
MoI - Necrocarnum Circlet - creates one necrocarnum zombie
So putting these two together, does that mean I can have two necrocarnum zombies?
Reading over Master of Undeath, I see no requirement of the undead being created by a spell or SLA. The only limitation is that the first created undead only remains under your control for days = CL, so either have a dip into a casting class, or be a race with SLAs.

You answered your own question. The text doesn't tell you. You'll need to ask your DM. By RAW, 23d6. yeah, I decided to go ahead and research it a little more (which I should have done in the first place) -- hence why I came back and deleted the question (and had hoped I did so before it got hit). I've decided on the more conservative interpretation (as RAW is poorly written -- the example is not only ambiguous, but completely worthless). Thanks. Q46
Residual MM -- if I cast a quickened spell (that also has some other MM applied) and then a non-quickened spell in the same round, can the lingering metamagic effect that second spell, or does it necessarily have to wait until the following round to work?
A 46: By RAW, you'll have to wait until next round. yeah -- thought so  |

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. |

Q 49: If a Frenzied Berserker is in a frenzy, and after killing all nearby foes he fails his save to end the frenzy, and is then subjected to a charm person or suggestion spell, and the caster asks or orders him to stop fighting, what happens? Which takes precedence, the clause of Frenzy, or the Spell?

He'd view the caster as an ally, except that frenzy doesn't much care about that, in terms of charm. The suggestion he'd be making a save against every round to go back to killing until the frenzy was over. |

He'd view the caster as an ally, except that frenzy doesn't much care about that, in terms of charm. The suggestion he'd be making a save against every round to go back to killing until the frenzy was over. With Charm, if the caster is the only other person there, he'd just kill the caster. If there are others present, he'd kill them first, then kill the caster. Charm Person makes the target view you as a trusted ally, not obey your every command. Frenzied Berzerkers kill their trusted allies while frenzying. So I don't see that there is any conflict. Now if the caster had used Dominate Person, I'd say he could save himself. Suggestion might also make the FB stop fighting, since it is something that forces them to take a specific action against their will, unlike Charm Person. Q45: Can metamagic feats be applied to epic spells? For example: Sudden Maximize or DMM?
A45: No. It is explicitly against the rules of Epic spells. http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/spellsIntro.htm#metamagicItemsandEpicSpellsMetamagic feats and other epic feats that manipulate normal spells cannot be used with epic spells. |

Suggestion might also make the FB stop fighting, since it is something that forces them to take a specific action against their will, unlike Charm Person. If the DM is being picky, you might get better success using a different suggestion than 'stop fighting.' 'Fight barehanded,' or 'stand on your head to fight,' might get essentially the same result (spellcaster survives) without preventing the FB from fighting. He's just not fighting effectively. |
