That is you were responding to references but not th what the text said.From Bo9S“The Stone Dragon discipline focuses on strength, power, and toughness. Its teachings grant a martial adept the ability to splinter steel with a single, focused blow. Stone Dragon’s defensive abilities focus on tapping into the enduring power of stone to turn aside attacks. This discipline’s favored weapons are the greatsword, greataxe, heavy mace, and unarmed strike. Its key skill is balance.Unlike with other disciplines, adepts of this school rely on an external force – the power of the earth and stone – to help power their maneuvers. As a result, Stone Dragon maneuvers can be initiated only if you are in contact with the ground.”From Races of Stone:“Earthen Spell Power (Ex): A dwarf cleric who takes the 8th level racial substitution level draws power from the earth when casting certain spells. When she is in contact with the ground, the cleric’s effective caster level when casting spells with the Earth descriptor (or any spell from the Earth domain, such as stoneskin) increases by one.”“Arcane Earthbond (Su): A dwarf sorcerer who takes the 1st level racial substitution level can draw power and support from an arcane bond he forges with the earth. Doing so takes 24 hours and uses up magic materials that cost 100 gp.The arcane earthbond ability grants a dwarf sorcerer the Alertness feat whenever he is in contact with the ground. He also enjoys damage reduction 1/adamantine when in contact with the ground”“Power of Stone (Su): A dwarf sorcerer who takes the 5th level racial substitution level learns to channel his spell power through the earth. As long as both he and his target are touching the ground, the range of any spell he casts that targets or affects that creature or object is increased by 50%, and the save DC for the spell increases by 1. If the spell targets multiple creatures or objects, all the targets must be touching the ground for the sorcerer to gain the benefits of this ability.”“Earth Meditation (Ex): A dwarf sorcerer who takes the 9th-level racial substitution level learns to focus his meditations on the quiet power of the earth beneath him. If the dwarf sorcerer spends his 8 hours of rest and 15 minutes of concentration to prepare spells while in contact with the ground, he can add his Constitution bonus (if any) to his Charisma score to determine his bonus sorcerer spell slots.”I just have a difficult time when reading the entire applicable text (including the surround text) that the didn not mean in contact with earth or stone, especially when the Bo9S information is so close to that in RoS.</blockquote>
