Aligned mastery may already grant immunity to alignment-targeting spells. It depends on how you interpret the line, "spells and abilities that harm those of the opposite alignment don’t affect you." My original reading was that "opposite alignment" was in reference to that of the HW's current...

Here it is, with the Sage's reply in bold: Technically, when you gain a level in Horizon Walker you can immediately master any terrain, even one you've never seen-- a forest elf can master the desert, and a clueless Prime can master shifting planes. Lots of other class abilities work this way...

Invisibility purge is like a very specialized antimagic; any effects that cause invisibility are suppressed while in the area. There's usually no way to resist. A very few creatures have special, innate invisibility that is unaffected by the purge. And of course, it doesn't help against...

The dimension door ability works on every plane. I've got confirmation from the Sage on this; I can post the emails if you like. HW abilities work everywhere unless specifically restricted. The Weightless mastery has such a restriction, but Shifting does not, so your DDoor works just fine on...

Have you looked at Eberron? The giants of that world used to have a powerful and sophisticated empire, spanning a whole continent. They built great cities, wielded epic magic, and created whole races to be their servants. Eventually they came into conflict with an even greater power than...

The most undignified death? Rot grubs are definitely high on the list, but I always had a soft spot preference for the ear seeker. Do we know if this book has those too? "Shh, I think I hear something.... ew! Ew ew ick OW oh god it's eating my brain!" :D

Take one level in Horizon Walker, and choose Desert terrain mastery. Or, be a warforged.

There are lots of combos that use wraithstrike to achieve ridiculous damage. You know what they all have in common? Wraithstrike! Remove any other single element, and you only nerf one of the combos. Remove wraithstrike and all of them go away. Go ahead and try it. Pick any one of the builds...

This I-Con is also in March. In fact it's on the very same weekend. If you didn't already know about it, that's an interesting coincidence.

Yep, our first set of 3E characters did. We started out with three 1st-level PCs, at 0 XP. Along the way we picked up a few more players, who came in around level 7 (IIRC). We all hit level 20 somewhere in the middle of Bastion of Broken Souls, and if we'd been inclined to go epic, the climax of...

Rich has been foreshadowing Miko's fallen paladin angle for about eighty billion years, so it's about time for that arc to come to a head. She's going to turn blackguard-- and even then, she'll be the most boring character in the strip.

That depends on your pop culture. For instance, zombies in some stories had no vulnerable points at all. You couldn't ever really kill them, so you just had to hack them into pieces too small to be dangerous. I think it's only after Night of the Living Dead that the "headshot" vulnerability...

The Candle of Invocation is in the DMG, in the Wondrous Items section. Here's an SRD link.

There are different types of types of attacks. (That's not a typo.) If I just said "type of attack" I could have been talking about the damage type, or the melee/ranged distinction, or the difference between a normal attack and a special attack like Disarm. My point is that the "touch-ness" of...

"Touch attack" is not a damage type, it's a kind of attack roll. So your question doesn't have a yes-or-no answer. [Edit: Now that I reread the poll, I want to change my answer. No, an attack does not automatically bypass DR just by virtue of being a touch attack.] Most things that use the...

Yep, those are the two options. This sounds absolutely fair to me. The first type would be equivalent to a character in a modern setting who hates all technology and has sworn not to use it. He won't drive or ride in a car, so the party takes forever to get anywhere. He won't use a gun or any...

Yes, you can apply metamagic to spontaneous spells, though it will cause the casting to take extra time. Look in the Feats chapter, under the general heading of Metamagic Feats, and you'll see this: Spontaneous Casting and Metamagic Feats: A cleric spontaneously casting a cure or inflict spell...

In my upcoming Eberron campaign, I'd like to have the warlike Valenar elves be slightly mechanically different from the standard, citified Khorvairan elves. I've got maybe one or two ideas that I think could work, but I'm not quite sure, and I wonder what you all can suggest. Since the two...

No roll is required. The deflection is automatically successful on normal missiles. The "attempt" language is there because you might try to use the feat against a special missile on which it doesn't work. Ferinstance, if somebody casts acid arrow at you, you might "attempt" to deflect it but...

In the SRD the only monsters with DR/silver are: lycanthropes, various devils, vampires and their spawn, Yeth hounds, Leonals, Avorals, Nightcrawlers, Nightwalkers, and Nightwings. I found this list with the Monster Search in the Sovelior online SRD.
