    Reincarnation and Level Adjustments

    So you are saying that a hd is an ability? I think that is a pretty big stretch. In any event though, the spell says what you get. If you gained hd then your bab would change your saves would change and your hp would change. Although you do lose a level which can make these things different...

    Reincarnation and Level Adjustments

    Considering that you do not gain the hd I feel that you are working off a point that does not exist in the rules. As such, you may want to look over your position. A character starting off as a bugbear has hd and an LA to play with. A creature reincarnated into one or polymorphed into one do...

    Reincarnation and Level Adjustments

    Yep, break enchantment would merely kill the poor guy. Too bad for him ;) And still though, the point stands is that the bonuses are there for a long period of time either way and as such the same sort of penalties should apply. Especially for the one that gives 'more' benefits.

    Reincarnation and Level Adjustments

    and I stated why this mode of thinking is incorrect. It is inherantly flawed in several ways, the least of which is that the effect is simply a matter of spending a little cash. So you are saying that one is a spell which gives a benefit and needs and LA while the other is merely a spell which...

    Reincarnation and Level Adjustments

    you will need some valid counterarguements to make that claim valid. As of yet you havent put any forward. The counterexamples to your most recent comments are already here in this thread, but to restate: There can easily be creatures with higher stats than your own, a reincarnated creature...

    Reincarnation and Level Adjustments

    I only said that if you apply it to one you should apply it to the other, for the exact same reasons either way. Consistancy. After all, it is possible to be walking around in the hobgoblin form permanently through several different means: 1) born that way and havent had anything change it yet...

    Reincarnation and Level Adjustments

    Well, since that line is completely arbitrary and subject to change at any time I would have to say that your line doesnt make any sense. After all, being whatever race they were before the reincarnate was effectively within that line, but even it changed. Therefore, on one side of your line...

    Reincarnation and Level Adjustments

    There are items that can give the effective ability for differing durations and there is polymorph any object which can be permanent in duration easily. I would trade some money in for the equivalent of +7 LA any day. So, obviously, if you are going to make one do it then both should as they...

    Dragon Breath

    if I remember correctly isnt one called, 'dragonbreath' while the other is 'dragon breath'? ;) I thought they were different spells which happened to have similar names.. one hand not knowing what the other hand is doing, not a replacement per se.

    Adding more than 1 alignment on a weapon

    That sounds like the same arguement people use to say that a weapon can not both have a fire enchantment and a cold enchantment on it. I dont see a problem either way. Magic is odd. I have no problem with a nonintelligent object having each and every alignment out there. As far as I know only...

    Stat requirements

    Likely because karinsdad isnt really making many rules arguements.. there is a lot of noise but very little substance. Perhaps if karinsdad would back up his points with more rules it would be better. As for the ring though, its text in the srd is a little contradictory, does anyone have the...

    Should undead be allowed to speak?

    Only when spoken to. Otherwise they are likely to get all uppity and expecting rights. You cant let the undead have rights! ;)

    Reincarnation and Level Adjustments

    I suppose if one was going to give an LA for reincarnation then they should also get LA while they are polymorphed as well, it makes sense for the same reasons given after all ;)

    Polymorph and Vow of Poverty...

    I guess that means that people who picked up VoP at first level (generally humans) should stay away from the various froms of shapechanging.. they will lose a lot! Then again, while they are changed they no longer have the feat.. and so they no longer have the restriction.. I guess that could...

    Do Psions get Psicrystals for free?

    I am afraid that you are incorrect. You cited the passage already however so I will just pick it out and move on. Plus, in case it matters, custserv has said that you get one back. Not that anything they say can be trusted, but hey, some people care. Done and done. If you ever do not have a...

    Enchanter: Specialist Wizard or Psion?

    What sort of things does the player want to do? What is the concept? 'Enchanter' is a bit broad, and I havent played everquest in any incarnation so I am unsure what they did in that. If you want to be able to buff the party in many ways then the wizard is much better. If you want to control...

    Do Psions get Psicrystals for free?

    But then, that has nothing to do with the comment.

    Do Psions get Psicrystals for free?

    Only one crystal at a time. It is easy enough to get another one since the feat allows you to have a psicrystal so if you ever dont have one then you can get one. Unfortunately the rules are vague on the how and why, but making it go away permanently when it dies seems outside of the rules. Or...

    Stat requirements

    Definately works, but your dm has to work out how long you have to have it in order to gain it. Of course, they have to do this for pretty much everything.. one could be reincarnated as a creature with a high stat as well, when are they allowed to take feats which take advantage of it? How does...

    Action Points, which system to use?

    I use the one out of eberron with a few modifications.. most notably the refresh rate of 'per day' rather than 'per level' (wow I hate the per level refresh) and the amount. I give an amount per day of: 1/2 level + cha mod (round down, min 0) and the uses are generally the same as those in the...
