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. |

Q188
with the feat extraordinary concentration you can concentrate on a spell as move action if you beat a concentration dc 25+spelllvl and as swift action if you beat 35+spelllvl
but can you choose to concentrate as move action instead of a swift even if you beat the higher dc?
or in short: you could concentrate on 3 spells per round that way (1 as swift, 1 as move, 1 as standard)?
also i dont see 183 as answered yet, just saying^^

I see no reason you couldn't opt to do the easier task. Also, Sonorous Hum might work better than blowing a feat slot. |

A187(yes another one) Warweaver from Heroes of Battle turns touch spells into range close, only for allies but its beautiful if you want to buff.

Q 189 Illumians: Can they get more than 2 sigils? I want to get all the sigils and enjoy the impressive combinations. Once you have all 6 of them, the combinations are probably enough to offset the weakness of multiclassing. (I'd imagine a lvl 2 dip in 5 different classes could still end up being pretty powerful or fun if capped with a proper prestige class, like ending with Sublime Chord, or Chameleon.)
Why I am asking:
"While illumian power sigils are useful to most characters,
multiclass characters gain the maximum benefit from Illumian
words. This is intentional—" pg 54 Races of Destiny "Behind the Curtain: Illumian Power Sigils
----
Edit: In the example they give on pg 83 of a multiclass Sorc 12/Bard 5 (Why?!) Illumian (Bloodwing Ruthek), I see that he only has 2 sigils Vaul and Krau. I suppose that answers my question. Only 2. I wish they would've said it much more explicitly though.

There's also one in Dragon that extends it to a mile. Maybe only for familiars though. |

Q191
Are there any spells/effects that can actually pierce a Mind Blank Spell? I don't mean Dispelling it, I mean seeing through it.

Maybe Dragon, but Complete Champion was one of the last splats released and it introduced the mechanic officially. |

Q192 What are some fun feats/prestige classes for a ranger with two claws and a bite attack? Outside of multiattack and improved natural attack I'm having trouble finding some fun things to do with natural attacks.

Outside of multiattack and improved natural attack I'm having trouble finding some fun things to do with natural attacks. Champions of Valor have a monster combat style that improve your natural attacks, if you haven't already looked into taking that. |

Pick any incarnation of the king of smack. You'll find a couple in the Handy Links, but I think there have been several since then. AFAIK the original ones actually came out before Totemists and ToB, and the most ridiculous characters out of those two books are variants on the King of Smack. |

Q191
Are there any spells/effects that can actually pierce a Mind Blank Spell? I don't mean Dispelling it, I mean seeing through it.
See through it how exactly? You mean they've made themselves magically immune to detection and they're using the divination-immunity clause of Mind Blank to prevent them from being found? An antimagic field would make them immediately apparent, of course. And you might be able to somehow heavily metamagic Faerie Fire such that it applied to everyone in a large area rather than needing to be specifically targeted, in which case it would work fine. The DC 40 application of Spot to pinpoint an active invisible creature making no attempt to hide would work if it's just Mind Blank+Invisibility, since it's just an Extraordinary thing, not any kind of divination magic functioning directly on them. And DC 40 is easily doable at the kind of levels Mind Blank is being tossed around. If the network of spells that hides them is more complicated than that, you'd need to make the DC 80 Spot check to automatically ignore any illusion. Which is still doable but you'd need to devote substantial build resources to it. Beyond that...epic magic? |

Well I thought of Epic Magic but nothing I saw actually deals with it, though I am not to familiar with the system. What I am looking for our effects that specifically can ignore it. Not Dispelling it or going around it but something that can actually ignore it directly and get past it's immunities. |

Nothing I'm aware of explicitly says 'this ignores Mind Blank'. Your best bet is to nibble around the edges: MB makes you immune to all 'divination spells or effects': figure out a way to negate MB without necessarily needing to know exactly where they are (spam wide-area dispels, AMF, Disjunction) or figure out a non-divination effect that will still give you the information you need (Faerie Fire is an evocation (light), not a divination, but it still gives you useful information if you manage to tag them with it: figure out some way to expand its puny 5ft radius burst into something much, much bigger)
If you're working with Psionics are Different and not transparency, clairsentience powers will do it.
