How do you figure out the components, the focus, XP cost, and the time required to activate a SLA? By looking up the rules governing SLAs. As I said before, not everything governing the usage of an SLA is tied in with the spell discription. Just a minor counterpoint to debunk your...

Here's the WotC approved official web site for spelljammer. It has some 3E rules on the matter.

No, not everything. It does not determine components, focus, or XP cost, and according to the SRD and the All About Spell-Like Abilities article, it doesn't determine the time it takes to activate it. Nor does the spell description determine how often the spell-like ability can be used. All...

To control all means of communication to prisioners. In this case, the imprisoned queen.

*Flips though his pocket dictionary* Peculiar... pecuniary... pedage... pedal... pedantry... "(n) pedantic presentation or application of knowledge or learning." *Continues flipping* Pedantic... "narrowly, stodgily, and often ostentatiously learned; unimaginative, pedestrian." Ahh, I...

No, spell description and ability description are two different animals. The ability description is included in the monster entry. The PHB says to look at both. The article doesn't say anything about the spell description in relation to the time it takes to activate the spell-like ability...

You could adjusting The characters' ECL (for the purpose of how much XP each challenge yeilds, not how much XP is required to get to the next level) based on how much magical equipment they have. I've been wanting to try this approach for a while.

The intended recipient would get it, not the doppleganger. Now if it were a greater doppleganger (Monsters of Faerun) that consumed the intended recipient's identity...

I'd feel really gypped.

Yes.

Doh! Another one suckered into the Archmage PrC just for some spell-like abilities. You would have been better off trading those two Spell Focus feats for Still Spell and Silent Spell. Then you could have used that Skill Focus feat for Innate Spell (PGtF), which works the similar to the...

If you want to make the most out of mettle + evasion, take levels in classes that all good saves such as of monk, tattooed monk, favored soul, and/or survivor (Savage Species). Off-topic: Has anyone noticed that the survivor class is one of the few PrCs that can be taken before 6th level? A...

Thank goodness Dragonlance is still in the capable hands of Weis. Though Oddly enough, I don't see Hickman's name in the credits of the DLCS.

Appearently there were other errors and oversights in the DLCS. There's no compiled errata, but according to a couple of members of the forums on Dragonlance.com, a lot of the discrepencies have been addressed (officially?) on the boards.

If you can get your hands on the The Complete Bards Handbook for 2E, I thought it had a wonderful mechanic for fame and infamy. Might need a bit of tweeking, but it should work nicely.

This is probably why they designed spell turning the way they did.

Since the spell can affect each target only once per casting, the caster is affected only once. Now if it worked like a magic missile...

If only I could find an SRD for the OGC of that book. (Checks the bank account... Sighs.) So many books I want to get.

Yes, but wasn't Greyhawk dropped for more... spiteful reasons? Really? What was it called? Two valid reasons if I ever heard any. Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms are step children who have grown up and moved out on their own. WotC wants a child they can call they're own, but raising...

I believe the Josh's point in posting that article, is that it explains and clearifies how spell-like abilities work, meaning that if something in the article contradicts what's written in the books, the article takes precident as if it were errata or a FAQ. So activating a spell-like ability...
