Q248: Does acid splash add sneak attack damage or only ray of frost as cantrip? In other words, do only rays give you the opportunity to add sneak attack or any ranged touch spell?
Any spell that requires an attack roll gives the possibility of a sneak attack (unless specifically stated otherwise).

Q247

A warforged psion with the adamantite body feat, can use psychic reformation to take away that feat and return to the normal +2 armour that his race normally gets. However how do you explain this in game, how does the power change the material the warforged is made of?
A WizardPsion did it.

Seriously, that's the only explanation.  A Human Psion using Psychic Reformation can suddenly sprout tentacles or wings.  Just about anyone could suddenly get really fat or really skinny.
Remember, when a warforged is destroyed, their body parts decompose into useless flakes if you try to salvage the metal off them. I'd say treat it as a semi-biological process where it slowly transmutes while the PsyRef is being performed. It isn't like House Cannith understands how their forges really work, anyhow, since they found the tech over in ruins in Xen'Drik.

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...

Referring to the feat on this page?

Need a noble parent, though.
Those aren't free though, right? Or did I miss the one that said it was free?
Seelie Court Noble Kelir and Unseelie Court Noble Kelir are free (read their special sections).
I did, however, I read it as meaning that it was an available feat bonus, not a free feat that's given to you.

It says "This feat is a bonus feat to..."  Bonus feats are free.

Okay, me again.

Are there any rules in 3.5 regarding slavery, especially buying slaves that have specific class levels? If so, where can I find them? I seem to recall there was something in the DMG about renting the services of class representatives, but when it comes to slavery, my mind is blank.
Kingdoms of Kalamar - Player's guide has the rules.

Best use of that skill is making appraise checks to size up encounters.

Q 249

Do bloodlines count towards your level for purposes of the feats and stat increases you get for leveling (every 3 and 4 levels respectively)?
Logged

Eh, the wizard have more money than them combined, he could in theory just use all his money on a fleet of trained attack mules, but then we aren't playing 3.5 but zergling rushing in Starcraft instead.

No. They're the same as Level Adjustments.

A 250 Fleshraker and Swindlespitter (MM3) are the only things I know of that are close to a regular raptor.

An eagle or owl should fit for a raptor? Meaning HD?

Q 251 Anyone know the story behind hangman golems? Meaning, do they have any specific purpose? I can't seem to find anything that really says much of anything.

Q252
going with the complete divine version of quill blast, if cast 2 times in a row from the same caster, do the quill penalties from the two castings stack?

Q253
what dice is the breakpoint of what is better, maximise or empower?
or maybe better phrased: with what dice gets maximise better then empower?

A253a Whenever you can afford to throw out the increased Spell Level over Empower; Maximize almost always trumps Empower (even on d4s) for raw numbers, the only exception being when you can't Maximize a spell, but you can Empower it.

The term Raptor means "bird of prey".

If you want the Iconic Jurassic Park dinosaur, they're actually Utahraptors.

I think the Clawfoot/Sicklefoot Dino's are the D&D version of them.

A254 Cheesy Version Erudite Spell-to-Power variant + Alternate Spell Source + Dweomerkeeper to use it as a (Su) ability.

You may want to look around for a less utterly broken method, though.

A254 Less Cheesy Use a Thought Bottle (Complete Arcane) to manifest it multiple times and only lose 500xp total when you uncork it. Not quite "Not paying the exp cost", but close (1/10th).

Q255:  Are there any decent mass battle rules out there?  Doesn't matter if it's 3rd party or even another system as long as it works and is adaptable to 3.5.  Preferably something that takes into account things like feats, variable classes, and actually allows using tactics.

A better system, to my mind, is in Cry Havoc!, a 3rd party book for 3.5.
