The "Unnerring Accuracy" property from the ELH can be added to a bow (effectively making it an epic weapon and ridiculously expensive) for a +6 enhancement price adjustment. This enchantment seems nearly identical to the "Seeking" property from S&F that can be added to a bow for only a +1 price...

Interesting. It looks like 3.5 might make damage reduction occur strictly in multiples of 5/+1(i.e. 5/+1, 10/+2, 15/+3, etc.), rather than the haphazard way it's done now. Both changes seem to support this, but it's just a guess.

IIRC, SS also botched the DR for the Rakshasa, listing it as 15/+3 as opposed to the 20/+3 listed in the MM. This might be a sign of things to come in 3.5 or could just be a typo. You probably shouldn't front-load the natural AC quite so much. AC is a much bigger deal at lower levels when...

You and I seem to be of the same school of thought, and I'm glad to see a condensed summary of the counter-argument to "yuh... antimagic good." I still plan to allow for some naturally occuring, magic-suppressing substance of some sort, but it'll be an integrative story goal if the player opts...

Before you sling accusations, you should ask as to the nature of the inquiry. I do not have a Forsaker character with which to "go cheesy." I have a player that was, indeed, attempting this powerful combination and I was looking for a rules-related explanation rather than a role-playing based...

Point taken. That said, does anyone know of any non-magical sources that produce a suppressed or anti-magic field effect?

I'm not intentionally being dense or obdurate, but from a logical standpoint, why ?

Would a Forsaker (Prc from the MOTW splatbook) still have a hatred for or be inclined to destroy a magic item that in some way produces an anti-magic shell or otherwise suppresses or destroys magic?

And while I'm thinking of it, could a trumpet archon or silmilar outsider who is progressing through its race as a "class" as described in SS sacrifice XP with a ritual of vitality to have the full allotment of "class" levels in something like a balor? What race would the resulting creature be...

I could see the argument that a outsider that has an alignment subtype would always match the alignment of its home plane, being born a creature of good or evil, law or chaos from the planar stuff of the multiverse. But I also like the idea of a creature being able to somehow redeem itself...

That IS an important distinction. I think both my player and I missed that when going through the material. Most of the attention was spent on the Ritual of Vitality. And that being the case, I'm again wondering about the subtype problem I mentioned above. If a creature with a subtype of...

I'll give the peer pressure route a go. The argument against the ritual may, indeed, be more convincing if the party, particularly the paladin and cleric, decides that an evil creature is better slain than "converted" with respect to alignment. Thanks again for your input!:D

This is exactly the kind of "encouraging" I was doing to make sure role-playing is first served. Both the player and character are a bit power hungry, so it's at least up for a little debate. Also, good call on the outsider issue. Would the character really be susceptable to protection from...

There's the possibility of an involuntary alignment with the save DC being based upon the ECL of the new form. It only applies where the target creature is ALWAYS of a particular alignment, IIRC. The party member is willing to take the risk (as he is NOT one of the good aligned characters) and...

I DO want to encourage the use of the SS rules, as well as the possibility of becoming new races via ritual transformation. I don't even have a problem allowing a rakshasa to be played. Two problems arise in this instance, however: The party is primarily good aligned so I was attempting to...

I assume that by +1 blessed bolt you mean either a regular bolt that has been blessed that overcomes the 20/+3 DR or a +3 or better blessed bolt. That rationale seems to make sense, but the rakshasa just got a lot tougher to kill. Ah, well. Thanks for the input! Game on!:D

In a recent attempt to convince one of my players not to become a rakshasa via SS ritual magic, I came across some rather ambiguous language concerning the rakshasa's vulnerability to blessed crossbow bolts. From the MM: "Vulnerable to Blessed Crossbow Bolts (Ex): Any hit scored with a blessed...

Let me make sure I have this correct... For approx. 200,000 gp, a 20th lvl sorceror with about 200,000 XP under his belt and with below avg. physical stats can undergo a ritual of vitality and... 1) Spend 91,000 XP to become a rakshasa 2) Lose 5 levels of sorceror 3) GAIN an effective 7...

Since the responses have been less than overwhelming... How does the following look as a possibility? Lvl Special 11th --- 12th Energon Companion (1 new companion, +2 HD to all companions) 13th Fast Healing...

I'm a big fan of the Soldier of Light prestige class from Ch. 7 in Deities and Demigods. If there isn't already an epic progression somewhere that I missed, I'm looking for some input on how the progression should look past 10th (i.e. bonus feats at which levels, continued progression of Fast...
