    Magic Items for Lycanthropes

    Have you checked out the Magic Item Compendium? The stat blocks list what action is required to activate the item (free, standard, etc) and how that action is performed (command, mental, etc). There are several items that are activated via mental commands or require manipulation, which the...

    once you start a PrC, can you lose its requirements and still continue the PrC?

    Complete Warrior (pg. 16) makes mention of what you lose when you lose the requirements for the class. Immediately above that, the book states "...are examples of events that can make a character ineligible to advance farther in a prestige class." According to this reading, in addition to...

    Persistent Spell: What does fixed range mean?

    Fixed range is a range that never changes. A range listed in feet (such as 60' for Detect Magic) is a fixed range. Every time you cast that spell, the range can never exceed 60'. The range categories (Close, Medium, and Long) are not fixed ranges; the spells' range changes depending on caster...

    Stormcaster's Thunderclap

    Since the description does not give a range (just an area) and mentions that the caster is immune to the effect, in my games the power would be centered on the caster.

    Vampires: Gaseous Form at 0 hp

    The way I read it, yes.

    Pixies

    I played a pixie ranger in a short-lived campaign a few years ago and showed this article to the dm to help decide how old the character would be. In the campaign, the dm decided that pixies were mortal and we went with living a couple of centuries longer than elves, so we used a modified...

    shadow striking too powerful?

    The Transmuting property from Magic Item Compendium does pretty much the same thing and is only +2.

    List of races with LA?

    Sorry you don't like Excel, but that's what I made it in.

    Spell-like abilities and armor spell failure %

    Nope. Spell-like abilities do not suffer from arcane spell failure. Spell-like abilities are neither spells, nor do they have a somatic component for armor to interfere with. Edit: Beaten to it.

    Versitile Weapon

    The Morphing ability (first seen in Underdark and now updated in the Magic Item Compendium) is a +1 ability that can be added to any melee or thrown weapon. As a standard action, a morphing weapon can change into any other melee or thrown weapon of the same size and type (light, one-handed, or...

    Can a Lich with Druid levels Shapeshift?

    Pre-errata, wildshape was based on polymorph, which only works on "willing living creature touched". Since an Undead creature is not living, they could not wildshape. (This is a paraphrase of the Note in the description of the Corrupted Wild Shape feat in Libris Mortis) Now that wildshape has...

    how much does firewood iluminate?

    Only thing I've ever been able to find is the blurb that characters with low-light vision can see outdoors on a moonlit night as well as they can see during the day.

    Heat Dangers in Hot Environments

    Sandstorm is a WotC supplement, made to provide more rules for desert conditions and extreme-hot weather environments.

    Heat Dangers in Hot Environments

    Sandstorm does give you extra penalties for wearing metal armor; you missed the part where it mentions that Extreme Heat or hotter affects those wearing metal armor or coming into contact with metal as if they had Heat Metal cast on them. The effect lasts as long as they are in the area of that...

    Giant List

    ??? I saw several with just a quick scroll-down: Amphibious Creature (Template) Anarchic Creature (Template) Anarchic Creature (Template) Anthropomorphic Animal (Template), etc. Also, as I posted above, a keyword search using 'template' brings up 104 results.

    Giant List

    I don't know if there's a book out there, but a keyword search of template in WotC's Monster Index is one place to look. I found 104 templates; as with the other Indexes, the source book is listed for each entry.

    Monster Special Quality - Energy Affinity?

    Sorry, couldn't find anything other than the the bit from the Colossus entry. I did find a thread on Paizo's website about the adventure and the author made some posts. Someone had asked about the ability, but the author never responded. You can find the thread here.

    Monster Special Quality - Energy Affinity?

    A quick Google search found this in the Epic Monsters section of the SRD. If you can supply the creature, it might make it easier to find the exact information you need.

    David-vs-Goliath tactics

    Races of the Wild has Underfoot Combat, which is sort of a racial feet in that you have to be Small or smaller. The tactical feet Confound the Big Folk has the same prereq. The tactical feat Giantbane in Complete Warrior is more open, in that you have to be Medium or smaller. I couldn't find...

    pinpointing invisible opponents

    According to the description of a Flour Pouch (a satchel of flour tied loosely on purpose, the main use of which is to reveal invisible creatures) in Dungeonscape, coating an invisible creature in flour lets you keep track of its position and reduces the miss chance to 20%. Trying to hit a...
