There's also some bandolier from the FRCS that lets you draw a wand as a free action.

It's in the items section, right next to the birth control, iirc.

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...

The sources I read must have been wrong.  Page... 96-ish has a bandolier, but it doesn't allow retrieving as a free action.  The potion belt does, but only for potions.

Dragons of Faerun and MM4 I think has a few. I'm also wondering about Races of Dragons, but I'm not sure about that one.

Ah, fair enough.

Q 74 If a cleric loses his domains and turn undead due to taking an alternate class feature, is there any way possible to get them back? Even in a round about way?

Q75: If a Cleric has DMM (Heighten), can he prepare a spell Heightened and then heighten it further by spending turn attempts?

Example: 5th level Cleric prepares Sound Burst heightened to a 3rd level slot.  When casting, he decides to burn 3 turn attempts to raise the effective level by 2 to a total of 5.

Q71: Okay, I feel stupid for asking this... but how DOES Sanctum spell actually work, slot-wise?

Suppose I memorize a 3rd-level Sanctum Spell. Is the actual slot I spend 3rd-level regardless of where I am? I've heard that you can use Sanctum spell to reduce metamagic costs since, outside your sanctum, the spell is 2 levels lower.

Wrong on so many counts! Outside your Sanctum, it's 1 level lower EFFECTIVELY (-1 DC, can fail to penetrate GoI, can be used with Arcane Fusion, War Weaver galore). Inside, it's 1 level higher (+1 DC, easily penetrates, fail to use with AF and hard to use with WW).
does that mean if I made Arcane Fusion my sanctum spell, I could cast AF to (AF to (AF..... & magic missle) & magic missle) & magic missle) till I have a the most powerful 4th level spell ever?


Q 68: Besides improved unarmed strike and the Smiting Spell metamagic, what other ways can a weapon be used to deliver a touch ranged spell?

A68:

Ordained Champion has a slightly similar ability, but you have to channel the spell as a standard action. And it lasts in the weapon for 8 hours. And it doesn't have to be touch.

while not "metabreath" feats, DLCS has "flyby breath" and "strafing breath".

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.

Assuming you can apply Metamagic to spells inside an Arcane Fusion, yes, you can. Which is a good reason to rule you can't apply MM to such spells.

plus, sanctum greater arcane fusion lets you celerity nova, casting an infinite amount of 5th level or lower spells at people(add arcane fusion if you really want to piss off your DM).
