PALADIN:
Special Mount (SP), 5th level
The mount is called from the 'celestial realms', this is a Conjuration (calling). Everytime it's the same mount and calling it is a full-round action. dismissing it is a free action. When it is called it is carrying the same equipment as the last time it was dismissed.

Ooh! Mount of Holding!

I read it in the gamingreport scans too but got a little confused by it as it seemed to clash with the Githzerai write up. In that one they state:

From the 3.5 MM scan:
The Githzerai warrior presented here had the following ability scores before racial adjustments: Str 13, Dex 11, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 9, Cha 8.

Now, for starters I never understood why not give all 10's to monsters since they are writing up average ability scores, but now they are almost contradicting themselves. If the monsters presented in the MM were created with the standard array why does the Githzerai have different abilities. Moreso, I doubt it will be the only creature with that line.

Makes me wonder if creatures that don't have that sentence clearly stated were effectively all created with the standard array.

That Githzerai example has the "nonelite" stat array instead of the standard monster array, that's all. Most monsters are given with the standard "average" array; a few have either elite or nonelite scores (I'm told when the other scores are used, you're told). Gives you a few more options when creating monsters that a still fairly easy to use.

Wow. So it's a horse that just appears out of nowhere? Cool.

As for Mark of Justice, can't believe I missed that. Then again, I've never really been one to just sit here and read through spells.

Olgar,

As if it hasn't been said enough...thanks for all the hard work on this thread. 3.5? Bring it on....

Does this mean that you can polymorph the low-wis, low-cha, low-int halfling rogue into a pixie and thereby raise his wisdom, charisma, and intelligence? Or can the scores only go down on a failed save?

I'll certainly rule IMC that the scores can only go down, but I'm curious whether this is part of the spell.

I would think that raising ability scores would certainly fall outside of the realm of a spell called "Baleful Polymorph".

Apparently, more monsters have spell resistance that scales with level, such as the mind flayer. You can see that in the "Mind Flayers as Characters" entry here.

Also: Holy crap, I never noticed how much spell resistance mind flayers had. CR + 17!

Aasimars got a very slight boost, and now have daylight rather than light.

Cergorach's thread is answering some questions. I'll cross post new/interesting information here (though I won't put all of it in the base posts).

weapon enhancements: still a max of +10 enchantments, no weapon special abilities have a cost instead of a + bonus. Only Armors have the option to add abilities that cost gp.

Tarrasque: HD 48d10+594 (858hp), AC35
slumbers for 6d4 months, hunts for 1d3 days, once per decade very active for 1d2 weeks, then slumbers 4d6 years. damage reduction 15/epic, Regeneration 40, needs to have 868 points of non lethal damage and cast a wish or miracle to keep it dead.

Golem Magic Immunity: Immunity to Magic (Ex): Golem is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently.

(some) Solar Stats: CR 23; HD 22d8+110 (209hp); AC 35; DR15/Epic an evil; regen 15; immune to acid, cold, and petrification; resistance electricity 10, fire 10; SR 32, protective aura, tongues, spells, spells, and lots of spells.

vorpal costs: still +5, but has a CL of 18 and that is required.

bats seeing 10': Blindsense (Ex): A bat notices and locates creatures within 20 feet. Opponents still have 100% concealment against a creature with blindsense.

Eldritch Knight skills & sp: 2 + Int; Concentration, Craft, Decipher Script, Jump, Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (nobility and royalty), Ride, Sense Motive, Spellcraft, Swim.

Is the new ranger spell list avaliable anywhere? I looked through this thread but did not see it. Thanks!

tt. Horrid wilting is down to 1d6/level, max 20d6 (or d8/level vs. water elementals and plant creatures).

uu. Longstrider is personal range with 1 hour/level duration, gives +10 enhancement to land speed (druid 1 /ranger 1/ Travel 1).


We don't have the full ranger list yet, but it looks like the following is true:

1st: Add: Longstrider, charm animal, detect poison, endure elements, hide from animals, jump; Delete Animal Friendship
2d: Add Fox's Cunning, Owl's Wisdom, Cat's Grace, detect chaos/evil/good/law, Wind Wall; Delete Sleep
3rd: Add Darkvision, Remove Paralysis
4th: Add Commune with Nature, Delete Wind Wall
