Let's see... 1) Don't get Permanency as a Sorcerer (Wizards: Go for it). Use Limited Wish, instead. Sure, it's a 7th level spell slot vs. a 5th level spell slot, but Limited Wish doesn't cost any more XP (it's 300 xp, or the cost of the duplicated spell, whichever is MORE) 2) Permanency is a...

Savage Species, page 137. Sadly, it's +2 LA. You might enjoy Crystal Keep's Indexes. Don't trust them completely, though; check the source, as they've got some things a bit off. Check out Voidmind (Monster Manual III), though.

I'm sure that's the intent, and I'm sure that's a very simple solution to the problem, and is a quite reasonable response. However, I might point out that the Sage is not, of himself, the rules, and that there have been multiple sages, and that on occasion one sage has reversed an earlier...

Well, you could always Scale the Cockatrice. As a Magical Beast, +6 hit dice is +2 CR; +9 hit dice is +3 CR, and the size increase at Hit die 9 is +1 CR as well. Oh yes, and do note that the save DC is 10+1/2 hit dice+ability modifier (Con) - so if you add 9 hit dice to a Cockatrice, the save...

Am I blind, or did I just find a loophole that (if permitted) lets almost any Core Caster get cheap, risk-free, low-value (for the level) treasures? We start with the Summoning subschool of Conjouration: (Emphasis added) (You can probably see where this is going already) So where's that...

Not really. See, while Clerics can Rebuke undead for permanent control (really useful with the intelligent undead), that's an Instant effect, and is trumped the lowly Command Undead, which offers no save to non-intelligent undead, and lasts days/level. Clerics get the base undead spell...

Sadly, you're in the "effects greater than these" portion of the Wish spell - that's not something on the safe list. It's not normally going to be a broken use by any stretch, but it's not on the safe list. Which means you need to ask the game's referee - the DM.

You can wear both, but they don't stack. There's two reasonably-common reasons for wearing both: 1) Incorporeal touch attacks. Bracers of Armor apply, regular armor doesn't... but regular armor is much less expensive. 2) Bonus stacking. Bracers of Armor + 8 cost 64,000, and give a +8 Armor...

Yes. The spell requires concentration to maintain, and it lets you do certain things "once per round". If you cast it during your round, you do that certain thing in that round. Concentration is needed after, but the standard action is to maintain the spell, not to do the stuff.

That's correct. There's a couple of other somewhat similar things that do have specific limits, but nothing that's clear for the Symbol line.

Yes... but you'd need to figure out what qualifies as a "Prominent Location" - which, as a term not game-defined, means you need to check with your DM. Were I the DM? I might let you get away with one on the front, one on the back. Maybe. But then, do you really want opponents to be walking...

Yes and no. It inherits from Symbol of Death, which states: A piece of paper in your backpack? Not a prominent location by any means. One covering your tower shield? Maybe - depends on the DM.

You can also likely get into Seeker of the Misty Isle without too much trouble, although the Survival skill requirement might be anoyying - as a Drow, you're an Elf, you gain the Travel domain on the 1st level, and it doesn't lose any spellcasting until PrC level 5, so it makes a great 1-level...

Interestingly, it's not directly addressed, so the default rule of 1/2 strength modifier dominates. So... if you're dual-wielding Shortswords with a Strength of 6, your primary hand deals 1d6-2, and your off hand hits harder at 1d6-1. Counterintuitive, but oh well.

I hadn't ever thought about it, and had just assumed it used the caster's primary statistic. Reading the description again, though, I'm afraid it's as normal for a spell like ability - which means "Charisma-based", unfortunately for most Wizards (A Sorcerer Archmage won't care).

To my knowledge, this is the 3.5 way to do it, with one exception: Full Plate:

Faerie Mysteries Initiate - Dragon 319; one of the options permits you to use your Int modifier in place of your Con modifier for bonus HP.

Well, there's the Paragon Template, but in general, no. You could, I suppose, abuse luck feats, the luck domain, a luck blade, and so on to have a better chance of rolling max.

It's a combination of things. If you're not WotC, then you have to get WotC's permission to distribute WotC's stuff (copyright laws). If you are WotC, then anyone printing your old stuff is in direct competition with your new stuff (as it fills the same essential market). Anyone selling your...

The 3.5 version is a bit watered down. It's got a bit less in the way of "Hah, you die" effects.
