Q149: What's better for a Multiweapon fighter (5 swords if it matters), Girallon Windmill Flesh Rip, or Raging Mongoose? (I have 25 Attacks/round, at a really low attack bonus)

I'm also a 10th level Sorcerer-Swiftblade. (with 9th level spells thanks to cheese, which is thanks to homebrew rules so no abuse for the rest of y'all Tongue)

Girallon Windmill Flesh Rip is better... Raging Mongoose will only give 4 extra attacks... if your character also has Combat Reflexes+ Robilars Gambit+ Double Hit... you will do Girallon Windmill bonus Damage(8d6) when both of your AoOs attacks hit as well/ per attack that is amde against you(up to your Dex bonus/per turn)

Bump
The 8th level Sor/Wiz spell Binding, which chains a creature, or puts them to sleep for years, or locks them in a Labyrinth, things of that sort, states thus:

Quote
You can’t dispel a binding spell with dispel magic or a similar effect, though an antimagic field or Mage’s disjunction affects it normally.

Q 144a: How exactly would an antimagic field affect a binding?  I can see walking up to a chained or slumbering bound creature, and when it fully enters the area of your antimagic field, they wake up, or are unbound.  But once the antimagic field ended, wouldn't the bound creature be chained or slumbering again?

Q 144b: Similar question, but for the hedged prison form of binding.  Would you have to envelop the bound creature in your antimagic field, and then you could walk them out of their prison?  If your antimagic field crossed the boundary of their prison, could they sneak out through the "hole" you made?  What if the creature is Huge or larger, and can't fully fit within the antimagic field?

Q 145: It seems Mage's Disjunction only allows saves for magic items, not ongoing spell effects.  So if the evil wizard wants to release a bound demon, Mage's Disjuntion is an instant "I win" button?  There's no caster level check or anything?  (You could easily have a CL of 60 on a binding, just within a core game).

Q150  How does the Epic Feat Spell Siphoning work exactly?  http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ei/20031115a

So you spend a turn undead attempt, roll to determine the maximum spell level you can siphon, and I understand it lets you spontaneously cast any spell you can prepare normally.  But does it then:

1) require you to convert a prepared spell slot of the same level to cast the spontaneous spell?  The wording reminds me of the cleric ability to spontenous cast cure spells, but does not say you need to loss a slot.

or how I read the feat initially

2) just casts the spell without using a spell slot?

I understand either way could be powerful for a standard cleric, but my useage of the feat is different.  I have a spontaneous arcane caster with alternative sourced spell feat for divine metamagic tricks (also arcane preperation so I can prepare spells).  The feat is of no use to me if it just converts prepared spells to spontaneous ones since I already do that and don't have the huge list of spells the cleric could draw from.  Even a wizard could benefit from this with a huge spell book.  But I am looking at trading a turn undead attempt for a 9th level spell slot and I am not sure it does that now.

Any takers?

It looks like it uses a turning attempt in place of a spell slot.  Pretty handy, if you ask me.

Search for "Jack B Quick".

Q153:  What is the full text including requirements of the Dynamic Priest feat?

I'd look it up myself but I'm afraid I can't get access to the source.

It actually has no prerequisites, so you can just take it at any time and apply your cha to bonus spells per day and maximum spell level for a divine spellcasting class.

Quote from: Dragonlance: Legends of the Twins
Academic Priest [General]
Your path to faith is more scholarly than those of other
clerics.
Prerequisites: Intelligence 13+
Benefit: For the purpose of determining bonus divine
spells per day and maximum divine spell level, your
primary spellcasting ability is Intelligence. If you have
more than one divine spellcasting class, the bonus applies
to only one of those classes. Your spell save DCs are not
affected by this change.
Special: You may only take this feat as a 1st-level
character. If you take this feat more than once it applies to
a different divine spellcasting class each time. You may take
this feat even if you have no divine spellcasting classes yet.

Q-156a: Can a character with the wandstrike feat, CompArca - spend 1 charge to make melee attack with a wand and 1 charge to autohit target with wand spell effect, and the Duskblade Arcane Channeling class feature, PhB2 - channel touch spell to melee weapon discharging on hit, make an attack using the class ability to channel a (ex. CL 3 shocking grasp) spell into a held wand (since it is now a melee weapon through the feat) by spending the charges needed to make the strike and to target the opponent with the spell (say - a CL 5 shocking grasp wand)?
Q-156b:If this is possible, the said character would do 1d6(from first charge)+5d6(from second charge)+3d6(from channeled spell) for a total of 9d6 in total damage, correct?

Not bad. I was thinking more item wise, or template wise, and for a sniper type character (which swordsage and warblade do nothing for) that's sits in a high place.

I'm not so sure about that: Swordsage has a good skill list, including Move Silently/Hide/Spot, and several manouvres that aid in manouverability. Warblade has full BAB, and access to some of those same manouvres. Also, there's a fanmade ranged disciple. (Falling Star, IIRC).

Scent:  Hunter Sense Stance, Fist of the Forest, Half-Troll template*

Blindsense:  Hear the Air Stance, Scout 10, Mindbender 1 + Mindsight**

Blindsight: Scout 20

* - Although +4 LA, it also grants fast healing 5, and a bevy of other advantages, including changing your type to Giant, which would let you take the primordial giant template from Secrets of Xen'drik, which would allow you to use invisibility as an at-will spell like ability.

** - Wouldn't be a bad way to go if you went toward Unseen Seer to make your sniper (Which could get you Hunter's Eye, True Strike, Guided Shot, and Sniper's Shot.  A small dip into either Rogue or Scout would net you at least +5d6 sneak attack or skirmish.
