pick up some lvls in Archmage ?

You do all of those to an incorpereal foe how ? Edit: Hyp beat me to it, curses for not updating before posting !

1) Yes. Hence why a BoH says "If living creatures are placed within the bag, they can survive for up to 10 minutes, after which time they suffocate" 2) No. 3) Yes if they can survive.

Opinion: If he can't Hit it then he doesnt flank and I'd say can't aid another. The skeleton DR Q is different though, he can still Hit the creature, he's just not Likely to do dmg( maybe he crits and sneaks a point or two in though).

I'd say no chance of reuse except on a miss. Fired bolts break, I believe thats a standard rule. ( A bolt that hits its target is destroyed; one that misses has a 50% chance of being destroyed or lost. ) and its fairly cheap anyway: Type of Adamantine Item Item Cost Modifier Ammunition...

It couldn't be to try and get ppl to buy those supplemental books just to make the published adventure make sense could it ? Probably not though, stupidity before malice and all that.

After thinking about it more(and yeah, dragon bane bolts would be a much better idea, but as a thought exercise lets finish it out, and ignore the Shrink Item on magic items limitation): I'd advocate this line of reasoning: The bolt is medium sized till it hits soemthing solid. Assuming the...

Shrink Item doesnt work on magical items, and, the player has to be the one to cast Shrink Item. For the original size of the crossbow bolt, lessee, 4 size increases(L-H-G-C). So I think what he wants to do is "in effect" be shooting a Colossal sized crossbow bolt. (a 1.6 pound bolt, fairly...

Lots of vendors selling exotic spell components and magic items. Probably a couple mage duals i'm sure. Maybe casters showing off new spells/golums/magic items for sale. Lots of bodyguards.

Yeah I think it's been commented before that Ptolus didnt really seem to have alot of consistancy to the NPC's stats. :\ So I guess this is a bit off-RAW, but would ppl consider it a reasonable adjustment to simply give all NPC's max hp to balance against having high point buy/powerful...

Is there a CR increase for just giving all the monsters/npc's max HP? I'd hopefully like to avoid having to rework the stats for everything they encounter.

4. He's got a +4 armor bonus from Mage Armor and and +2 armor bonus from his clothes. Armor bonus's don't stack.

If this doesn't belong in rules I apoligize ahead of time. I'm starting a Ptolus campaign soon and am going to be starting the players fairly powerful for 1st lvl chars(40 point buy, smaller skill list, a couple other house rules that end up favoring players). As this would be a...

Sure there is, kill them afterwards. Speak with Dead doesnt care if you intimidated them before right? ;) Anecdote: In my soon to start Ptolus game, I've combined Diplomacy and Intimidate into one skill(Negotiation). They effectively do the same thing, just one was is positive and the other...

In your own private demi-plane, that requires a specific spell that only you know to access(and have taken spell mastery for it so as to not leave any copies lying about for annoying adventurereres to find).

I don't believe thats quite how it works(and if I'm wrong someone will correct me). If you read a +2 dex manual and then later find a +4 dex manual, you can read it and you'll now have two different inherit bonus's that overlap(so for some reason?? if you lost the +4 bonus you'd still have the...

Hopefully the DM hasnt just watched Wishmaster when the party decides to use a wish for something, and they won't get any of these punish-the-players-for-wishing effects.

My wife and I both geek out regularly by saying things like "Ooh honey good spot check!" like whne we're driving and find a good parking spot, stuff like that. I'm sure there are other moments I just can't think of right now :)

Been consolidating and adjusting some skills for a few houserules for a new Ptolus game(yay i'm gonna use my $$ book!) and was kind of confused by Forgery. I'm not really sure why this skill goes off of Int, can anyone shed some light ? Or are the Skill<->Stat matchups not totallly making much...

I dont think its been mentioned but Ptolus has a method for this, one of the temples has a ritual that costs, iirc 1000gp, to convert one feat for another or move some skill points around. Maybe could have a whole sidequest of trying to find someone that knows said ritual or seomthing like it in...
