Healing Touch does, actually. The 'life essence' mentioned in the description is life energy, which, given the caster is a living creature, should be Positive(IIRC, the PEP's entry in the Manual of The Planes should provide sufficient evidence to support this argument). I only assume Bestow...

Healing Touch and Bestow Wounds. Though they don't draw the energy from a plane like cure spells. The former uses the caster's and the latter takes from another.

@Crothian , you devil:devil: First, I must point out I like the mindscrew of it all, very much so, but it's more than a harsh lesson. He wouldn't just 'sound like a douche', he'd become a douche. More on the main subject... I feel like you should let him. I realized over the months here that...

Alternate Class Feature. Essentially you take away a Class Feature altogether and get something else in it's place. I know of the following options which replace wizard familiars and fix your problem: Immediate Magic(from PHBII): Allows you to cast a spell effect as an Immediate Action based on...

@Sekhmet I can't help but admit defeat this time. Well said. I'd give you XP if I could, aparrently I have to 'spread some points around' first.

Yeah, because Adventurers are so seldom around innocent bystanders and half-competent sidekicks they need to take care of you wouldn't expect them to be good at procedures of the sort. In a more serious tone, (and while I would argue that based on what we know of him, Lola could get himself...

I think the hawk in question would object to the idea. Worth a shot to ask once, but I'd say it's a no-go. Besides, what's better? A loony hawk who is taken care of by an intellectually superior wizard and a band of adventurers, or a loony hawk living completely by himself in the house of a...

Well, so long it IS in good fun, I see no reason to dismiss your familiar. I'm sure your DM wouldn't let 'Lola' into danger based on his decisions without providing means to save him. It's an entirely other matter if you ask him to perform a task he's not capable of with his subpar attention...

Scary implications indeed. Like Detect Chaos wasn't enough! Now I can cover the closet in lead, too. Some casters have no respect for privacy... Nice to see someone other than me has that book, by the way. Carry on.

It's hard to come up with a perfectly fitting scenario when you have no info on the characters, but there is a trick I used once that made the perfect plot hook. Have one of the characters(preferably a lawful one with no criminal record) arrested unjustly by authorities in a public setting! Why...

I'm not saying they aren't more. I'm saying they are not enough. And if they do die so soon, it could be just as the DM's fault(when he presents them with an encounter that is unsolvable at said level by the group's standards) as the player's(who Leeroy right into an otherwise easy encounter...

Heh, if someone dies at first level, it's never because of the hit points. Assuming the DM knows what he's doing, the cause is either the player who flipped him off or him being a *censored*. Not only there shouldn't be an encounter that endangers the PCs this way(though assuming your PCs are...

Hmm... It certainly is a sensible idea, but to make it work, on one end where we just say 'no spell bypasses natural DR and leave it at that' would unbalance the game even more unless we revisioned the CR of monsters with DR, and on the other we would need tons of guidelines, exceptions and a...

I have an idea. Imagine if there was a Cleric of cause who worships stories and fake folk tales, and can prepare a number of spells in his domain slots because he thinks he can. A sort of "Domain", only campaign dependent and malleable. Or take it to another level, a whole new spellcaster class...

Maybe she had a half-orc child (I'd say half-goblin for the sake of staying original, but goblinoids can't crossbreed with humans through mundane means... uhh, sadly?) who was killed by accident(or "accident") in a battle by the townguard. When she wanted retribution, they executed her and...

I've done a throughout search on D&DTools for spells that mention skills and handpicked those which qualify and not yet listed here. At least, I was doing that until I grew bored. I hope all of them are to your liking!:) Balance: Balancing Lorecall(use Balance in place of Climb), Ice...

I don't think he's around anymore, but if he is... I have to say, I agree with Green Slime and Dandu on this. Can you explain how Frankthedm was mean to you? I'm not seeing it. He seems more than adequately polite to me. Come on, how many times you've read the words 'I'm sorry' on the...

If you're willing to drop the cleric idea, you could ask your DM to houserule Infusions as a valid qualification for PrCs. It isn't exactly a gamebreaking change, and hell, knowing (s)he let you take levels in Artificer to begin with, I don't think (s)he's concerned over unbalanced characters.

Sorry, never meant to offend. I don't know how honoring saints works, I assume a lot of people can call me out on my statements about Christians. Veneration in itself really should not count as worship, or be a requirement for it. Though I have my doubts about most people being able to tell the...

Yeah, well no, they totally did. It's called Vourukasha or something like that(I know, an it, but nobody said they had to be people). Where did you get that Zoroastrianism didn't have deities? Sure, Persians invented Devas and whatnot, but they had actual gods back there, too. Should they go...
