Or Polymorph it into an animal so that it's a valid target for Awaken.

Considering it's just a 2nd level spell, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Potentially. The big question needed to be addressed before you can say yes or no is "does a range of 'touch' count as a fixed range?" If yes, then yes. If no, then you're going to need to add a few tricks to make the range fixed. But ultimately, yes, you can. Oh, and Deja vu.

Mild correction: Immediate action spell. The spell is also known as "No". In a battle between a well-rested Sorcerer-5 and a well-rested Greatsword-wielding Barbarian-5, the Sorcerer that has Wings of Cover and Magic Missile will usually beat the Barbarian (Barbarian definately loses if the...

Look up "Wings of Cover" and you'll change your mind. As for basic Sorcerer strategies? You need: Offense: Heighten Spell A good Will save or lose spell (Glitterdust is classic, Slow is also very good) A good Fort save or lose spell (Stinking Cloud is classic) A good Reflex save or lose...

There's also a handful of Wizard-only spells in Core. But everywhere else (including the Bard list, which has the same wording under the "gaining new spells" section as the Sorcerer does), there's no qualifier.

Which kinda makes sense, as it doesn't remove the requirement for some cover or concealment to hide, and if you're just using shadowy illumination / darkness to justify the hide check, then you have no concealment/cover vs. someone with Darkvision.

Contains errata vs. is errata. d20SRD.org updates their content with errata'd changes. It contains errata. d20SRD.org is not, of itself, "an errata file" as specified in the primary source rule. What do the articles you linked say about the Rules Compendium and Errata? It "includes...

Correction: According to the Rules Compendium, the Rules Compendium dominates. According to the Primary Source Rule at the top of the errata, the PHB, DMG, and MM dominate.

True Mind Switch is a 3.5 exclusive; 3.0 just used the regular Mind Switch, followed by the slaying of the old body. I've actually looked at this somewhat. The question really becomes "how non-humanoid is the Psion willing to be?" If we take, say, a human Psion ... he loses NOTHING except...

Ah yes, Veil. Quite handy... although Blindsight would likely negate that. Mundane disguises, though, could work... if the PC doesn't have too good of a Spot check... oh, it's a class skill, you say, and one of the more important ones to have? Umm... Basically, in order to prevent the spell...

Well... See Dandu's response, but I'm going to expand on that a bit: They're guidelines, not rules, and they're intended for DM use, not player use - a good chunk of this is because some spells are fine when they're actually cast out of limited spell slots, but when you get into very large...

Well... technically, there is a method by which you can turn a Warforged into a Wight. Step 1: Get a 1st level LG Warforged. Step 2: Get an Unholy Chaotic Weapon Step 3: Convince the Warforged to wield the weapon Effect: The Warforged gains a negative level or two - as it has more negative...

Not entirely. There are a very small number of ways to read things while blind (Scholar's Touch, I think), and those make this somewhat useful. Not much, mind, but not *quite* useless.

If you're the DM of the game in question? Absolutely. If you're a player of the game in question? Well... the DMG item creation guidelines are not hard and fast. People often try and treat them that way, but that's where you get such broken things as the use-activated widget of True Strike...

Rules for Ballista (and a few other things) are on page 100 of the 3.5 DMG.

I just tried the Random Monster Advancer at CR EL, and got an illegal creature: Ghost Fiendish Vampire Spellwarped White Half-Dragon Elemental, Air (Age1:Small) Fiendish doesn't change creature type, but both Ghost and Vampire require the altered creature be alive, and both change type to...

Practical ones? "You have no chance to win; I Suggest you run, and never look back" (very handy if you have a sneak-attacking archer in the party... especially when mounted - they can't see him, and so are effectively blind, denying dex, you see...). "You have no chance to win; I Suggest you...

If you look hard enough, there's a little-known rule that says you can't get enough XP at once to level twice - any excess is wasted unless immediately spent it on crafting, XP-costing spells, or similar (but regardless, you're not leveling twice). So defeating 5,000 CR 6 beasties all at once...

Oh, don't forget the Archivist from Heroes of Horror. Right up your alley.
