Ring of spell-storing?

Perhaps they are confusing it with the ability drain of certain undead like the wraith, which does allow a save?

It also seems irresponsible and needlessly cruel.. How are these people supposed to make a living now that they are blind or missing 1 hand? Not saying they can't (there are many disabled people getting by just fine on their own), but...:eek: I can see context specific uses for them, such as...

Flipped through one (the titan one) years ago, didn't recall being particularly impressed. I wouldn't mind a revised 3.5 elder titan (ELH) in keeping with the newer design tenets.

For me, it is not so much the act, but rather, the fallout from said action. Usually, we don't really think too much into what the consequences may bring. Enemy dies, we move on to the next challenge, they don't come back to bug us. End of story. Everyone is happy. But if you knew that by...

I actually found that polymorph excerpt somewhat amusing, since I recall a similar scene in that power rangers: dino thunder+ninja force teamup episode. Granted, it could also be the whimsical manner in which the author phrases it. :angel:

I guess the overarching idea was "You don't want to kill the villain, but how do you ensure that he does not make a comeback and hurt more people?" But once they elaborate on the villain's subsequent fate, it just seems so...I mean, having to eat filth? Call me a wuss, but I did not need to...

I can't access the article (not being a subscriber), but just reading the sample entry on blinding your foe has left me feeling somewhat uneasy.:eek: That said, I am sure that must be a ritual to cure blindness or something. It seems more viable as some sort of downfall the villains bring...

Do any of you feel that Crystalkeep helped with 3e sales back in its heyday (which was why wotc tolerated its presence? And now that it has long outlived its usefulness...:confused: I personally felt it was very useful for quickly determining if a particular feat, spell or template existed...

The only feat I am aware of is theurgic bond (dragon 325), but it requires you to be a multiclassed druid/wizard. None exist for cleric/wizards as far as I know. :eek:

Alternatively, you could let the BBEG die, but the killing blow comes from his most trusted son or officer who is secretly plotting to wrest power from him. Naturally, he takes over (maybe with his own agenda), but not before pinning the blame on the PCs. However, I feel this is most effective...

Extend (3rd lv, to qualify for sculpt spell). Sculpt (5th lv, or 6th, in the case of sorcs). Maximize (probably 9th or 10th lv as I doubt I can squeeze it in later; maximized orbs of acid are just so sexy in my book). Chain spell (lv12? So I can do funny things like chained nerveskitter or...

Permanent enlarge person comes with its own fair share of problems. For example, by RAW, you cannot let go of your weapon ever, or it will shrink back to medium, and holding it again with make it bigger. Not to mention if you ever need to become normal-sized for any reason...

It is a standard action to activate actually. Believe me, I was so disappointed when the DM pointed it out to me. :eek: Though with the decent duration (10 minutes), you can afford to activate it prior to combat if you have sufficient prep time.

I try to find information on the demon lord Alzrius, and keep getting directed to Enworld. No points for guessing why. :angel:

According to MIC, a belt of growth (enlarge person 1/day, caster lv 10th) costs 3000gp. I suppose it can be cheaper if you lower the caster lv, but I guess the creator intentionally jacked up the price because he felt the price more accurately reflected its usefulness to a melee-type character.

Well, I think I have seen a story about a medusa who willingly blindfolds herself to avoid petrifying those around her...:D Which is kinda pointless, since the rules allow you to voluntarily suppress your gaze. But neat from a fluff POV.:p

Complete mage has a ring which lets you summon creatures with max hp (but the duration is halved).

Never thought of the masterwork bonus applying either! I have learnt something new again! :lol:

Do you let the hydra make multiple will saves when hit with a deep slumber spell?
