Question Would the spell "Alter Self" give those using it the ability to reproduce as what they've changed into? Would it allow a fe/male who wanted to be a fe/male to become one and create children? Assuming the time limit issue was handled, would the required physical organs necessary be...

Drat. No rules to support it as written? And yes, though I was hoping to leave the backpack, sword, shield, and belt areas alone ...But if the price reduction was great enough the loss might be worth it. The idea came from reading about the Gnomish Artificer in "Magic of Faerun" on page 24...

Question If it cost more to create a magic item which doesn't use any body slots, would it cost less to make one that used most of them? Difference in cost between something like an Ioun Stone and a full body stocking. Something like an Ioun stone would float around, near, or at least not take...

When you say it varies by setting, do you mean that in the same way a person might claim that the ability to learn magic varies by setting? Or is the ability for anyone who wants to being able to learn how to cast spells much more firmly entrenched or even completely unquestioned?

Question Are Psionic powers an ability you either do or do not have, or can they be learned? Reason My current character is built around the concept of a normal human learning everything they can and teaching it to others. Question Should psionics be on their list?

Thanks.

Am looking into becoming a blaster, but want my main weapon to do non-lethal damage. However, there don't appear to be any. Reasons Non-lethal damage spells would probably do more damage per spell level than lethal damage. Have heard of resistance to fire and ice, but only heard of one...

Questions Spells have verbal, somatic, material, casting time, etc. components to them. (Variables.) If you were to pile them all together in the creation of a new spell, how far would it go? Also, is a Level 1 spell less powerful than a Level if they're both being done at Caster level 20...

Inspired by the "Cursed Belt of change sex." (Don't remember it's real name, just what it does.) Alter Self If made permanent using a magic item, could it halt or resettle the aging process? If it did, would the person be locked at that age or have to pay the repair cost of the magical item to...

Permanency is irrelevant since as you said it isn't on the list. My mistake for not bothering to check. Silent Image did look too easy, but Permanent Image will do. Especially if I research a lower level one with only the visual aspect remaining. Permanent Image Illusion (Figment) Level: Brd...

Not original idea. Original idea was a spellbook with unlimited pages. Have access to that now. Costs 15 or 30k gold for every 300 pages to craft plus a little more for getting rid of that secret agent, "If caught destroy the documents" button. Use the Feats, Craft Wondrous Item and Scribe...

You're creating the image, which means interaction is occurring. And since it's an infinite Silent Image, you won't run out of charges so if necessary you can replace the entire image with it's new additions. Texture of the paper? Okay, how magic scrolls work is a serious issue, and part of the...

Paper Scrolls versus Holographic Scrolls History Noticed Spellbooks have a limited number of pages. Figured a spellbook made out of a permant "Silent Image" would have infinite pages. Then thought, if you can do that with a Spellbook, why not a Scroll? Saw that you can only scribe one Scroll a...

And have placed a planetary/dimensional beacon previously to focus a divination upon just in case. I'd forgotten that knowing which direction to go might also be a problem.

Always at least a mix of both, leaning heavily my way in this case. The post was originally just supposed to be the ideas with a little background to explain and give examples of how they worked but I got carried away and didn't want to re-edit everything. Spell Miniaturization Problem: Use...

Questions If you treated spells, magic, magical equipment, and magic research like technology, what a ways would their be for augmenting/enhancing them? Examples Miniaturization: Refine a spell so it has the same effect at a lower level that it did at a higher level. (Computers used to fill...

Questions Is there a book covering the history of how Liches came to be? How about theories put up by players? Do Liches automatically go insane over time? Do they always turn skeletal? Is there a book covering the history of the phylactery? Was it given by a god/dess to a mage? Did someone...

Was thinking more along the lines of critical structural failure, aka water balloon explosion. And if they vomit, light it. Taking the Decanter of Endless Water and switching it with a flammable liquid or gas would be nice too.

Can you make it swallow a time delayed flask of infinite water? ...Or beer? Then wait outside with a match?

So you do have to be able to cast a spell to put it in a spellbook? Just like a scroll?
