Q50
So, having realized that the Gelatinous template doesn't work the way I thought it did (it makes creatures into aberrations, not oozes), is there any template that makes a creature into an Ooze?

So you end up stuck in an endless loop, unable to act, forever.
In retrospect, much like Keanu Reeves.

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. 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. 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. or "suggest" that the nearby trees are actually evil treants, and then back away.  |

 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.

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.
It looks like it works. Also the use of some soulmeld abilities are considered spell like abilities so you would not need the casting class or SLA race. |

What kind of action does it take to fire off a Light of Lunia/Light of Mercuria? If you have two of them active at the same time, could you fire 4 rays?

There are Jubilex tainted water elementals in either MM4 or MM5. I'll bet they do some acid damage. |

Hood - My first answer to all your build questions; past, present, and future. Speaking of which: Don't even need TO for this. Any decent Hood build, especially one with Celerity, one-rounds [Azathoth, the most powerful greater deity from d20 Cthulu]. Does it bug anyone else that we've reached the point where characters who can obliterate a greater deity in one round are considered "decent?"

I answered my own question; a typical psicrystal can't use Hidden Talent + Practiced Manifester. Without manifester levels, Hidden Talent doesn't stack with Practiced Manifester. With psionic class levels, they stack.
A56
By the RAW, Metamagic School Focus can apply to "a metamagic feat." It's a reasonable stretch to allow its application for up to 3 feats so long as the spell slot level never goes below its original level.
