Q 105: Is there any way to reduce the loading time of a heavy crossbow from a standard action to a free action?  Rapid Reload makes it a move, and the text of the Quickloading enchantment is exactly the same as the text of the Rapid Reload feat so it doesn't explicitly stack.

Why bother?  Just flavor him as looking very human-like.

No I mean my group's trying to build characters that can transform. I'm starting to think that D&D's the wrong system for that. You can't legitimately make Hulk, Dante, Mr Hyde, or any other transformation character without completely flavouring them. Cheetor and Rat-Trap were no problem though. Optimus Primal wouldn't be if there was a were ape template somewhere.

You use the creating a lycanthrope section of the lycanthrope template with the base animal as an ape...

Dante: high-level Cleric that has Persistant Divine Power.  Casts Greater Visage of the Diety for Devil Trigger.

Mr. Hyde: Shadow Sun Ninja much?  I'd say they have a Dr. Jerkyll/Mr.Hyde complex

Hulk: well, we already went over that with Goliath Barbarian and War Hulk

Transformers: Warforged with either a Skin of the Proteus or the Metamorphosis power

Beast Wars: see above, can substitute Wild Shape or Priveval PrC.

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...

Unseen servants reloading for you?  Doesn't actually cut the action cost but you aren't spending 'em.

Since the Quickloading enchantment is 3.0, it could be argued it stacks with Rapid Reload, especially since it doesn't say "as the Rapid Reload feat" or even use the feat as a prereq. Not to mention the enchantment deals with ammunition and storage in an extra dimensional vault, and the feat is flavored towards rapidly recocking the weapon.

Q106: Is there a non-magical flying monster with less HD than the Dire Bat(4HD)? I am trying to make a zombie flying mount, so the less HD, the better. There's no magic in the campaign (which is good for the party, who does have magic), so I can't "find" a monster with magical flight. Skellies are right out for that reason.

I guess the part you left out here is how big it has to be. Otherwise... any bird. Wink

More seriously... giant bees have 3 HD and are medium, so they'd work as a mount for a small character.

A106 Yes, there's the raven  Wink.
It really depends on what you define as magical. Only animals allowed, then I can't think of one.

It's for a medium sized character.

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.
