(Reposted from the old thread...)

 

[Thels]

I went through the old thread and gathered all questions that were afaik still unanswered. Should save you some time skimming the old thread:

===== Ability Scores =====

1) Do spellcasters get bonus 0th level spells for having high attribute scores?

===== Races =====

2) Does it still list names for the various Races? Has this list been expanded? Does it list names for humans and 1/2elves?

3) (Answered) Have there been any changes to the Human abilities?

4) Does a Dwarf still need a strength of 13 to wield a Dwarven Waraxe in one hand?

5) Can Gnomes use Craft (Alchemy) in combination with their Cantrip Powers?

===== Classes =====

6) What classes get Tower Shield Proficiency for free?

Barbarian:

7) Does the Barbarian still have Uncanny Dodge? If so, at what levels, and how does it stack with Rogue Uncanny Dodge?

8) Does Fast Movement now increase the base speed by 10?

Bard:

8) (Answered) How is the bonus called that Inspire Courage bestows? Does it say anything about if it stacks with other bonuses?

9) If a Bard takes a prestige class that allows spell advancement, does that allow him to swap spells?

Cleric:

10) Has anything been changed at what spells a Cleric can cast spontaneously? Can a goodenergy Cleric spontaenous cast Mass Cure Light Wounds? Is there an evil counterpart?

10b) What is the new list of spells for the Animal Domain? This is the old list:

1. Calm Animals
2. Hold Animal
3. Dominate
4. Repel Vermin
5. Commune with Nature
6. Antilife Shell
7. Animal Shapes
8. Creeping Doom
9. Shapechange

11) Are there any changes to the Domains in 3.5? These are the 3.0 Domains:

Air - Turn Earth, Rebuke Air
Animal - Animal Friendship 1/day, Knowledge (Nature) is class skill
Chaos - Chaos spells +1 caster level
Death - Death Touch 1/day
Destruction - Smite 1/day
Earth - Turn Air, Rebuke Earth
Evil - Evil spells +1 caster level
Fire - Turn Water, Rebuke Fire
Good - Good spells +1 caster level
Healing - Healing spells +1 caster level
Knowledge - Divination spells +1 caster level, Knowledge (All) is class skill
Law - Law spells +1 caster level
Luck - Reroll 1/day
Magic - Use magic items as a Wizard half your Cleric level
Plant - Rebuke Plants, Knowledge (Nature) is class skill
Protection - Protective Ward 1/day

Gruumsh - Spear (half-, short- or long-)
Hextor - Flair (Light or Heavy)
Heironeous - Longsword

Druid:

11b) Is the Animal Companion's "Share Spells" identical to that of the Familiar? This is the 3.0 Familiar ability:

Share Spells: At the master's option, he may have any spell he or she casts on themselves also affect a familiar. The familiar must be within 5 feet at the time. If the spell has a duration other than instantaneous, the spell stops affecting the familiar if it moves farther than 5 feet away. The spell's effect will not be restored even if the familiar returns to the master before the duration would otherwise have ended. Additionally, the master may cast a spell with a target of "You" on a familiar (as a Touch range spell) instead. The master and familiar can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the familiar's type.

11c) Can a Druid have multiple Animal Companions?

11d) Would a multiclass Druid/Ranger have 2 Animal Companions, or 1 Animal Companion at the level of the Druid plus half the level of the Ranger (rounded down)?

The character can strike opponents with a melee touch attack, dealing fire damage equal to 1d4 +1 point per two caster levels (maximum +10). Alternatively, the character can hurl the flames up to 120 feet as a thrown weapon.

[Kershek]

Isn't this amount of questioning getting rediculous?

 

[Thels]

So I thought too earlier... but if you consider that he already answered over 250 questions (there were a bunch that didn't got tagged), 100 still standing open seems like a lot, not a ridiculous amount.

There's a lot of questions that just ask: 'How does this spell work now'. I don't think it's feasable to answer all of those.

 

[ShadowStar]

Thanks for doing that Thels, I was just about to start going through lists and compiling myself.

 

[Kae'Yoss]

103) Any changes to humans?

 

[Kae'Yoss]

I Think some of these have been answered already, either in these threads or anywhere else. I try and answer what I know of these

5) Do Gnomes have a +2 racial modifier to Craft (Alchemy)
[/B]

Yes. (It's in the Revision Spotlight).

9) If a Bard takes a prestige class that allows spell advancement, does that allow him to swap spells?

I think yes. There was a 3.5e PrC somewhere that stated it, at least for sorcerers. Either it is inherent in all spellcaster PrC's, or only some. But I think that will be an issue dealt with in the DMG

22) When you get an additional +2 against your Racial Enemies, does that affect only the Racial Enemies you already had, also the Racial Enemy you gained this level, or even the Racial Enemies you get to pick later? If you have 3 Racial Enemies, are your bonuses +6/+4/+2 or +6/+6/+4 or +6/+6/+6?

They are 6/4/2. However, Upon gaining a second favored enemy, you can choose to have any one of them to have the +4 bonus (in 3.0, the FE you chose first would become the one with your highest bonus. Now any of your FE's could be the one with the best bonus - even the last one you took).

27) If a Sorceror takes a prestige class that allows spell advancement, does that allow him to swap spells?

I think yes. See above, with the Bard.

31) Do all classes now have at least one Knowledge skill?

AFAIK not. In the old thread, the Knowledge Skills where listed, and some classes were not on that list (fighter at least)

45) What does Animal Affinity do?

46) What does Deceitfull do?

47) What are the prerequisites for Greater Two Weapon Fighting?

48) What are the prerequisites for Improved Two Weapon Fighting?

50) What does Persuasive do?

They're using d20M versions as it seems:

Animal Affinity - +2 Handle and Ride

Deceitful (Deceptive in d20M) - +2 Bluff and Disguise

Two-Weapon Fighting: Dex 13
Improved: " + BAB +6
Greater: " + BAB +11

Persuasive - +2 Bluff and Intimidate (it's from Song & Silence)

54) Does Weapon Finesse now require one slot for all weapons? What weapons are affected? Does it apply to fists?

Take it once, apply to all weapons. Unarmed Strike should be in

55) When using Weapon Finesse with a tower shield, do you get the tower shield regular -2 penalty on top of the armor check penalty?

I should think so

58) How much cover does a tower shield grant? Can you lower it at will?

It's either total cover (but no protection against targeted spells) or +4 AC.

68) Has the character sheet been updated? Does it show Grapple, Flatfooted AC, Touch AC?

AFAIK there was a example sheet somewhere, and it showed that all

83) Are there limits to how many hit points Heal can cure?

10 per caster level, max 150.

102) Did Wall of Force change?

Wasn't there something that it has to be flat now, no curved surfaces or even orb or something?

Right, I'll remove this one.

Nothing comformed for all the PrC's. You're probably right about it not being in the PHB though.

Hmm, I can't remember reading something like this before.

Must've missed it. I pull it out.

Nice, but not everything ends up the way it was earlier, so a confirmation on this would be nice. Also, I can't remember having seen IWF requiring 6 and GWF requiring 11 anywhere other than in the Ranger class.

Originally posted by KaeYoss

I know there's one that get you all light weapons at the same time. I agree that Unarmed Strike should be in, but will it be in?

Originally posted by KaeYoss
I should think so

So would I, but will it be?

Originally posted by KaeYoss

Source? You might very well be right, but some fast skimming through the thread didn't reveal it. Then again, that was FAST skimming.

Originally posted by KaeYossAFAIK there was a example sheet somewhere, and it showed that all

There was? Where?

Originally posted by KaeYoss
10 per caster level, max 150.

I know that's the max damage Harm could do (or Heal on undead), but is it also confirmed it's the max you can heal?

 

[Remathilis]

Dragon 309 showed a character sheet (blank) for 3.5 That is where the list of skills came from...

I think Dragon 307 capped Heal. (revision spotlight)
