comment Limits to psionic power augmentation in DnD 3.5
It is absolutely in the Expanded Psionics Handbook -- it's super fundamental to the balance of the system.

comment Pathfinder Magus/Sorceror Multiclass question
Also, you maintain separate caster levels for the two classes. And of course, this whole system heavily discourages playing a PC with multiple casting classes.

comment Can I use a full attack and natural attacks in the same round?
This is wrong -- secondary natural attacks can be added to pretty much any attack routine. A monk can potentially get extra attacks from TWF, flurry, rapid shot, and natural weapons all in the same round -- though good luck hitting!

comment How does a Ring of Counterspells work against an area-of-effect (AOE) spell?
Absent the (3.5) FAQ, that's not the rules as written. The phrase "cast upon" is not a defined game term, so there is legitimate ambiguity on whether it means "targeted" or just "affected by". I am using the idea of a readied counterspell as an analogy, to suggest why I would infer a particular meaning.

Oh, this is actually brought up in the official FAQ, but the answer is somewhat anti-helpful. See my posted answer.

I disagree. There isn't actually any confusion; the fireball is counterspelled, just like the ring's name suggests. If they meant only targeted spells, they would have said so. Again, contrast with the nature of spell turning -- turning AoE spells would be confusing, since they can't be redirected to target the original caster. Such an issue does not exist with counterspelling.

The OP gained the template later on, implying they're an afflicted werewolf.

The ring doesn't technically use that particular phrasing, though; the trigger is "should that spell ever be cast upon the wearer". Contrast with the phrasing of spell turning, which does require that you be the target of the spell. And you could certainly ready an action to counterspell fireball. So, I'd interpret the phrase "cast upon" as being just the regular English usage, and not another way of saying "targeted by".

comment Squad formations
As a game specific note, D&D 3.5 introduced "Teamwork Benefits", a mechanic to represent training your party for specific maneuvers. Apparently they're found in Dungeonscape, PHB2, DMG2, and Heroes of Battle; I've only looked at the ones in PHB2. Some examples from Heroes of Battle, 2 include formations like one for finding invisible attackers.
