Fun Finds v4.0

[SorO_Lost]

On the subject of prerequisites, I found this little gem, while searching for SCM stuff. Works really well with that (hey, I can have 9th-level Silent Images early), as well as working as a general early-entry trick anyways.

Little inferior to Metamagic Song, but nice I guess since you can Heighten to 9th level even through you only gain 6th level Spells.

[Amechra]

I think DMM should have worked like Metamagic Song in the first place; let it apply to all MM, but cap the maximum level.

Isn't there a race that gets unlimited uses of bardic music? I seem to remember mention of it somewhere on the boards. Seems like it would combo nicely.

Firre Eladrin.  ECL 20 though, IIRC.

I believe that Outsider type, Assume Supernatural Ability, and Polymorph/Alter Self, etc. should let you use the bardic music ability, no? Working from memory, here.

I can't remember if its been said before...

Umbral Spell can metamagic a light spell, the spell becomes a light and darkness spell.

does it dispel itself because the feat says the Umbral spell dispels a light spell in the same radius of its level or lower?

[Amechra]

I think it would.

Sadly, I don't think there's a non-Homebrew way to give a spell the [Light] descriptor. Otherwise Explosive Runes.

Looks so.  Its 8 HD and LA +10 and the desired ability is (Su).  It isn't specifically Bardic Music though, even though it can do anything that ability can, and directly references said ability, so...

Wizard 17/Warrior Skald 1 would qualify for either feat, and could gain the unlimited bardic music ability via Shapechange.

The same is true of Sorcerers, Druids, and Clerics with the Animal Domain.

Warrior Skald , teller of tales

  ... something fishy here.

From Ghostwalk, the spell Bottomless Hate is a 2nd level Ranger spell that gives you a +1/3 CL Morale bonus to attack and damage against your Favored Enemies.

Swift Hunters rejoice!

[Jackinthegreen]

Bottomless Hate.

That actually looks worthy of taking Practiced Spellcaster for.

If it had a swift action casting time, maybe...

[ksbsnowowl]

Archivist with one of the FR regional feats that gives you a favored enemy?

[Gazzien]

Anyone remember where the quiver with infinite arrows is? There's one in the Dragon Compendium, but I could have sworn Wizards made one... perhaps on a web enhancement?

Add a way to get FE: Evil, then we're talking.

[PlzBreakMyCampaign]

I remember some people over here using Kensai and Warchanter to enter the Dragon Ascendant PRC (it requires BAB +30)

Yup. Very old stuff. But hey new life into it is good. 3.5 will keep going strong at least until a new addition allows full conversion/import (seriously WotC you didn't learn from Pathfinder's one strength?)

Swift Hunters rejoice!

Hmm I never put two and two together...

Almost everything else makes you pay more for spells with costly material components or xp costs.  The most practical application of that loophole I can think of is an eternal wand of identify.  It costs 820 gp to buy it, but you save 100 gp each time you don't cast identify normally, so it pays for itself after 9 uses.

What are some other 1-3 spells with high casting costs?

"The body retains its Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, hit points, natural abilities, and automatic abilities" So what counts as automatic. It seems like a cool way to get around the (Ex) and (Su) SQ for polymorph to me...

An interesting feat:

Extra Divine Power

Type: General
Source: Dragon #343

You can use one of your divine granted abilities more often.
Prerequisite: A divinely granted class ability with a set number of uses per day.
Benefit: Choose a class ability you have from a class that grants divine spells and has a set number of uses per day, such as a shugenja's sense elements or a spirit shaman's spirit form. You may not select an ability granted by a domain. You may use the chosen ability two more times per day.
Special: You may gain this feat more than once. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a different class ability.

The aspirant cleric variant (Dragon 311, p49) has a spontaneous casting ability that can be used to cast any cleric spell, but it can only be used once per day, plus an additional time per day for each four cleric levels.  (Actually, the class skips granting another use at 20th level for some reason.)  Seems like a pretty tempting target for the feat. 

[phaedrusxy]

Would the Spirit Shaman's "Recall Spirit" work? It's normally only usable once per week.

[Jackinthegreen]

Extra Divine Power does say it only applies to stuff usable "per day."  No it wouldn't seem to work for Recall Spirit.
