Also, why the two different saves? I think you should just go with a fortitude save and have it effect objects as well. Undead can still be effected that way. Having it be a will save makes it be more powerful, as quite a few monsters (animals, dire animals, vermin, purple worms etc) have very...

Thinking about it again: Well my biggest beef with it not feeling right is the the abilities vs living seem opposed to the abilities vs non-living. If the rod is going to "suck the soul" out of someone then I'm fine with the all-stat draining effect and level drain, but this type of item...

I'd allow a -1 to all stats rod of withering at the same price. You'd be doing more stat damage overall but to less effect. It'd take a lot more touches to get someone to drop. The negative levels instead of permanent damage are more powerful, but it's not that big of a deal since crits with a...

Well, we have chain spell but that's not exactly the same thing. While It would be nice to speed things up and save spell space I don't think I'd want all spells being able to be made into mass versions. It seems to me the intent of the ethereal mount spell was to summon mounts on the ethereal...

I'm not familiar with the Thaumaturge, and I'm assuming you mean called creatures rather than summoned. I'd say a creature you pull in with planar binding would be unfriendly, while a creature pulled in with planar ally would be indifferent. No rules backing there just what feels right.

So, you could persist cones? Putting aside the slot it would take up, persistent fear? Hah. How about touch spells? Can those be made persistent?

It's 3.0, but to add to the pile, the foe hunter prc from masters of the wild had a class feature of spell resistance that stacked with innate spell resistance.

Yes, well <clears throat> I meant init. mod as well when I said dex. :) Seems like no one ever takes Improved initiative in my games.

To determine what effective character level a PC (as a monster) has you need to add the monsters hitdice to its level adjustment. As Jack said, for a stone giant with 14 hitdice and 4 level adjustment you have an ECL of 18. When you add three class levels to that you have ECL 21. ECL doesn't...

Initiative roll sounds good to me as well. Or maybe just give it to the one with the higher dex bonus...Eh, I'd probably roll. What situation did you have in mind Ogrork?

I'd give it to them, not sure why they'd be lacking it. I think the guys writing the skills just weren't paying close enough attention. :p

I don't think that you would be prohibited from combining the bonuses of your animal companion and paladin mount in the gestalt rules, assuming you were able to apply them both to the same animals (which I don't believe you can, as a druid/paladin, by any WOTC source). They are different...

2 Levels of swordsage would net 7 maneuvers, wisdom bonus to ac, weapon focus: Claw, prof. with all martial weapons, 2 good saves. Though by RAW I believe the wisdom bonus to AC applies only when wearing light armor. The maneuvers and stances you could grab could add quite a bit of...

I know you can get Paladin and Ranger to stack with the feat devoted tracker. It gets really scary with a paladin ranger halfling outrider with that feat...

Well, his father was an adventurous sort and there was this excursion to the astral plane.... He doesn't like speaking about it really ;)

AbetheGnome mentioned making a dwarven gish, which got me off on the same tangent. I started thinking about it and I really like the idea myself: A dwarven fighter/transmuter/runesmith. I might end up statting this guy out and using him as an NPC at some point. Polymorph would be fun, and so...

I like arcane strike (from Complete Warrior or Arcane?). Can give you a nice little bonus to damage and attack, good for dropping out utility spells for extra punch. Also, this isn't what you asked for, but since you did specify dwarf: take a look at the runesmith prestige class in races of...

Persistent Spell can effect spells with personal or fixed range. What constitutes fixed ranged?

Anything good in this bracket, as far as starting level goes? There is a chance I'll be running somewhat of a continuation of a game I'm playing it now and I'm just wondering what is out there. I'm not very familiar with any modules level 10+ actually, so if you've had any good experiences with...

Thanks for the help. That wasn't the spell, but I did end up finding it. Ethereal Mount page 85 spell compendium.
