As Streamofthesky pointed out, RAW limits telepathy to individuals which know a language, however I'd also point out RAW also says a creature can know 1 language per Intelligence point so while animals (ie: Int 1-2) may not SPEAK, they ARE capable of following simple commands and thus your...

Presumably at some point long ago, Species-X seeded the cosmos with some form of AI Survey/Construction probes designed to locate and colonize resource rich planets, preparing the way for subsequent colonizing fleets. As such, it carries designs for a variety of mechanical "species": comm...

basic question: HOW does the deceased barb/wiz know his replacement?? Your houserule states ALL items are returned to the deceased's family when possible - so while a clansman/acquaintance might suggest the deceased promised them the item upon death or even borrowed the item from them and wish...

Staking rules wouldnt apply per-se for the simple reason any pending attack would only hit the outer-most layer of armor and be affected accordingly. the only benefit would be negating the need to switch armors if/when that outer layer is destroyed/damaged and thus no longer providing...

Since gravity is merely the term used to explain why Mass-A "falls" towards Mass-B over a period of TIME, conceivably you could simulate flying (and even gravity negation) by simply adjusting your rate of fall from the Earth standard 32ft per second to whatever distance per unit of time desired.

Idrc anything in the spell's fluff indicating the user suffers DAMAGE from wind effects, merely they are subject to them ... IOW such a person would be unharmed but forceably relocated by the wind for the spell/wind's effects.

The first enchantment is simply an illusion of the empty room - which most PCs will NOT attempt to disbelieve (at least the few first instances) simply because its reasonable for the room to be empty. The second sounds like Reverse Gravity, perhaps a level lower variant if its not powerful...

um so? Presumably its safe to presume if/when the PCs reach the point of "unlimited" cash/equipment they are dealing with extremely long-lived/high level opponents who quite reasonably have the time/resources to be equipped likewise, thus maintaining a relatively even playing field. Gold/exp are...

Depends on the villains role/occupation. Corrupted church officials, necromancers, serial killers and the like are typically unmarried individuals whereas tyrannical despots, crime lords, power-hungry sheriffs/tax collectors, and used car/insurance salesmen typically have the misguided support...

agricultural stone golems are interesting, but why would a truly magical society bother? Granted, the community could pool resources for a tireless $90kgp farm-hand to work the farm to work around the clock nonstop, but the crop remains subject to weather/etc and normal growth rates (unless...

In keeping with the myth, drinking a mixture containing the mineral results in a strength bonus, however prolonged usage results in developing epilepsy and eventually changes the addict's alignment evil. (His 12 labors were undertaken as proof of his sincere atonement for prior misdeeds...

you dont reveal much regarding the town and its inhabitants. Heironeous is but one god among many ... whose are the local favorite(s)?? obviously(?) the LG group is a squad of Heironeous's soldiers, but how do they relate to the community and its townsfolk? Do they even know the victim was a...

Perhaps a summoning ritual for a powerful planar ally ... however its a reversal so instead of becoming his improved familiar, he's unwittingly become subject to ITS whims, gaining the respective familiar powers per the standard table only while within range. Worse, the table works in reverse...

Seems reasonable, but I'd reduce Grand Estate another level since it should be significant easier to cast than the original version because the resulting mansion remains visible and on the same plane, thus subject to discovery/attacks normally. Presumably other variants might have existed...

1. Just briefly skimmed a few creatures with the Swallow Whole ability so likely missed some fine points, but the generality implies the only requirement is having successfully grappled a foe at least one size smaller; no feats required although most have Improved Grab to boost their grapple...

no, simply because THAT is the nature of the Arms Race ... even here in the "real world"

yes. The dmg/srd clearly states a paladin's Special Mount is a magical beast with a min(intelligence:6) and the Celestial template. Therefore it could advance like any other magial beast by taking additional racial hit dice, templates, or classes - thus it could per RAW although many GM's veto...

The Flesh to Stone spell (SRD) states "The subject, along with all its carried gear, turns into a mindless, inert statue. ... The creature is not dead, but it does not seem to be alive either when viewed with spells such as deathwatch." Therefore the victim's soul remains trapped within the...

Without digging, IRC the shadow spells duplicate a desired based spell upto level# and metamagic feats do NOT adjust the base spell-level but rather its effective casting slot so suspect RAW would allow any combination desired ... however for the sake of internal consistency/balance would limit...

Suggest you/she take time when the next session starts to discuss WHY the other two are so paranoid, explaining you and the GM neither enjoy nor expect the level of caution they are exhibiting so their over-cautiousness is unduly punishing the group by avoiding situations which were supposed to...
