Aging changes Did the aging categories for PC races change (3 age categories, with +1 to Int, Wis, Cha each and -1, -2, -3 to Str, Dex, Con)?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Lich changes? Well, that's not quite right. "The phylactery costs 120,000 gp and 4,800 XP to create" sys the 3.0 SRD. 120,000 gp isn't the market price, it IS the crafting price. (which is another odd thing since the 4,800 is 1/25th of 120,000, further suggesting that maybe...

Re: Re: Lich changes? Thanks! That DR *is* hilarious. I love it and can't wait to use it! But, damn, I had hoped they had changed the cost of the phylactery. I'm assuming the average gold per level for PCs and NPCs didn't change in 3.5, right? Otherwise an NPC can't *afford* a phyl until...

Lich changes? What's the cost for becoming a lich (particularly the cost for the phylactery)? And what is a lich's damage reduction listed as? (I think the rest stayed more-or-less the same...) (The phylactery used to take 11th level caster, Craft Wondrous Item feat, 120,000 gp, and 4,800...

On his board Andy Collins said that "They went to classes that R&D would prefer to see as scouts, lookouts, or just generally "aware of their surroundings." Specifically, the following classes have both Listen and Spot as class skills: Druid, Monk, Ranger, Rogue Barbarians and bards have...

Disjunction 221) Does Mordenkainen's Disjunction automatically dispel spells (not magic items) or is there now some level check for dispelling? Thanks for all the hard work!

Re: Re: Mordenkainen's Disjunction Uh, that's the same as 3.0. Thanks, hmmm, does it mention anything about auto success or caster level checks on dispelling spells in the area?

Mordenkainen's Disjunction 104) How does the spell Mordenkainen's Disjunction work in 3.5 (the important questions are: does it permanently destroy items and is it automatically successful or does it need SOME caster level check to succeed)? --MANY, MANY thanks!

Gating in and naming Gate seems like it should get you inside a Mord's Mansion. The gate spell says that it creates an opening "between your plane of exitence and the plane desired". Later it says in the gate's Planar Travel section that "the gate open precisely at the point your desire"...

Dispelling a Mag Mansion I think dispelling it would work. The Mansion spell says: That seems clear that the entry point is always there, just invisible. You'd need a detect (or true seeing) to spot the shimmering area. (or you can randomly dispel the area). Magnificent Mansion seems to...

He's dead, Jim One method: A 17th+-level wizard could sell her services as an eternal caretaker (if you have to ask how much she charges, you can't afford her). She takes your victim, kills him, imprisons the soul in a Soul Bind spell, and keeps the gem on her person. The wizard casts Mind...

Use Magic Item booster! Ugh! Never even thought of that one. That's another reason that *cheap* skill items are too much. Unlike attack rolls and saving throws (which are based off the power of your adversary), a LOT of skills aren't scaled; the non-opposed skills are just based off of set...

I couldn't agree more. I agree. Interesting. I wouldn't use the limit of "the item can only grant as much as you have" for my game, because no other item works that way, but it's neat. The fix for skill-items in my game is: 1) Item creator must have as many caster levels as the bonus to...

"Has anyone ever seen that +skill items are overpowered?" I don't think that +skill items are necessarily overpowered. Like many, I agree that they are far too CHEAP (multiplying the cost x10 works for me, but others folks have their preferred multiplier - I've got players that would pay...

From the SRD: The Seeker Arrow even turns corners! Man, I'll be very few people can see around a corner. My take, looking at the descriptions, is that Phase Arrow is like Seeker Arrow, but better. It says it goes through WALLS, and I'll bet less people can see through walls than around...
