11. The two mentioned previously, and the Yakuza (Oriental Adventures, Page 55-56). You'll find that the Yakuza is one of the better prestige classes for meeting tough prerequisites. Uncanny dodge and defensive roll at level one, improved evasion at level two, 'bardic' knowledge at level three, improved uncanny dodge at level four, leadership at level five and slippery mind at level ten – as well as plenty of class skills and 8 + Int modifier skill points per level. Requires some skills, Dodge, and nonchaotic/nongood.
12. It is not possible. Charge is a special full-round action (or a standard action sometimes, but it's still its own separate entity), and so is Spring Attack. Spring Attack grants you one single attack between movements, charge grants you an attack with a +2 attack roll bonus at the end of a move action, with some other technicalities. Note that Spring Attack doesn't even grant you a standard action to attack: it grants you one attack.
Question
13. Can Energy Immunity be used repeatedly on oneself to render you immune to two/three/all energy types?

A13. Sadly, no. The SRD says, "The same spell can sometimes produce varying effects if applied to the same recipient more than once. Usually the last spell in the series trumps the others. None of the previous spells are actually removed or dispelled, but their effects become irrelevant while the final spell in the series lasts." So, in this case, all the previous versions (and their associated energy-type immunities) become nonfunctional.
Q14: What does everyone think of having a simple system to keep track of everything? When you ask a question, number it and toss "Q" on the start. When you answer someone's question, use the same number, but with "A" in front, so we all know it's an answer. Kinda like what I did here.

Excellent. I knew that (honest), and mentioned it on the Epic Levels forums. The other poster didn't believe me, posted it on the Spells forums, and nobody agreed with me last I saw. I wouldn't think it was that unfortunate, either.

Q 15: What does RAW stand for? I asked in another topic before I realized what this one was for, I hope nobody minds the redundancy.
As for A14, that's more like a poll question not answered by one person, I guess, but it seems good to me.

A15: "Read As Written" or "Rules As Written." It's an appeal towards a strictly literal reading of the D&D texts. Its appropriateness, as well as the various interpretations of it, are all controversial. A complete analysis or discussion would be too complex and probably too distracting/flame-inducing for a "simple question, simple answer" thread.

A15(b) Also, Rules as Written. Means same thing as what LoP said.

Ah, thanks. Now I can put it in context, at least, in the other threads.

A15b: I always thought it was "Rules as Written" meaning that there is no room for interprentation, it is simply written that way.
15c: A quick search for acronyms turned up "Read-After-Write", perhaps the editors should RAW

Q16. Can a halfling with the feats Deflect Arrows, Snatch Arrows and Infinite Deflection (character level 21st), using halfling skiprocks, deal ridiculous damage in a round by ricocheting the skiprocks off his target, back to himself, catching it, and using Snatch Arrows to get to throw it back to where it came from, ad infinitum (well, until he misses)?
A16, suggested. No. Your target is not the "original attacker", and so you'd just throw the skiprock back to yourself. Ad infinitum. The space-time continuum would collapse as you'd just juggled an object infinite times in six seconds and Pun-Pun would cry. (Um, or just read the first sentence.)
