Q116:The Haunting Melody feat has a DC calculated as such (10 +1/2 Bard level + CHA). The fact that it's based off of bard level and not character level makes it less powerful for multiclassing bards. Are there any feats, classes, or items that can boost this DC significantly in order to compensate? (Besides the obvious boosts to your Charisma stat.) Haunting Melody(I have already looked through The Fear Handbook, which had no answer to my specific question)

 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.

Well, presuming bananaphone's text is correct, it specifically says Bard level, not bardic music level. So bardic music levels from other sources wouldn't count. Though I'd agree that's probably a reasonable house rule if so.

Q117
Is there a way to get the Magic Domain without worshiping a Deity with the domain? I am specifically asking because I want to get into the Dweomerkeeper, but have been barred by the DM from worshiping a deity with the domain (playing a bard, had to pick a bard deity which means worshipping an ideal and picking two domains is also out).

Q118 Isn't there a feat somewhere that adds druidic as a language?
I'm thinking of making a Savage Bard/Monk/Ur-Priest/Sublime Chord/ Arcane Hierophant Build, but having to get druidic really bugs me, since it's almost a wasted level, being an Ur-priest and all.

I think just being an illumian allows you to learn it, IIRC. Also, it's kind of stupid, but you can technically just learn it from an ex-druid, like a Blighter. It is after all just a language, and there is nothing magically keeping someone who knows it from teaching it to you. They'll just pay whatever consequences that come about via RP or loss of their class abilities. |

Q115: Assuming I have access to Gate with no component cost, and assuming also that efreet wish chaining or pretty much any application of it other than calling in a badass outsider to win fights for me will get me punched by the DM, what are the top picks to gate in for my fights? Solar and balor are the obvious ones, but are there any other particular gems I should be thinking of?
Maybe some planar dragon from draconomicon would be a good idea.... Or if you cast Gate as a 20 level caster you could call an Infernal from ELH...... But if you do that the dm may punch you.....  I don't think those things are actually controllable, as they are all demigods (DR 0). Not exactly.... Things like abominations that have divine rank 0 are not demigods(divine rank 1-5), they are classified as hero-deities or quasi-deities and I don't see anything in the rules that would prevent you from Gating in an Abomination...... |

Because anything with a divine rank is considered a diety. What the divine rank is is irrelevant, so long as they have one. |

I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle. The book doesn't even exist! Quotes: By yes, she means no.
That explains so much about my life. hiicantcomeupwithacharacterthatisntaghostwhyisthatamijustretardedorsomething
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. |

For some reason I thought that a being with divine rank 0 could be called with Gate, what confused me was that they are non-unique beings and so they could be called,I forgot that they had to not be deities to work..... |

You CAN call Deities with Gate. They just get the option of ignoring it.

Sha'ir HandbookBinder HandbookQuote from: Negative Zero on November 04, 2009, 02:16:14 AM In my humble opinion, CO is haberdashery. Some say we're mad, but we can all agree we're hatters. Yes, we have potential to make very sophisticated hats, very fancy hats, be they dark or light. But the truth is that the color of the hat does not come from the group of us - our community doesn't directly produce hats. We simply give average head circumferences, list current fashion trends, and point out some shiny, obscure baubles to add to the latest hat line.

In that case calling an Infernal and then leaving would be a good option..... I can't see an infernal refusing to come wreak havoc in the material plane.... |

Q119: Why is realmshelps always down when I need it most? A119: It's either Murphy's Law or karma. Did you eat all your vegetables? Q120: 'awaken DM golem' posted this line over on the Houserules board: One of the obscure powers in CPsi allows the elimination of exp costs ... I did a post (but the iirc isn't happening right now). Which power is this? I hate XP costs.  |

In that case calling an Infernal and then leaving would be a good option..... I can't see an infernal refusing to come wreak havoc in the material plane.... If you're gonna use the drop and leave option, don't stop at Infernal. Call in a Dream Larva or a Hecatoncheires. The cap on HD isn't actually a hard cap, it's just how powerful a creature you can control. If the critter's out of your control anyway... |

Q121: Do you loose skill points with a low Int score? i.e. if a half-orc fighter has an Int of 6, does he still get two skill points per level, or none? For that matter, if a human fighter has an int of 8, does he get 2 or 3 points per level?

IIRC, yes - to a minimum of 1. |
