+1 Distance Heavy Crossbow using Flight bolts for triple length range increments? That would be a single range increment of 360 feet. Add in a Gnome Crossbow Sight from the A&EG and reduce the increment penalty by 4.
I'm not technically sure what you are asking? That's 3600 feet without using any PrCs. I think smacking someone from nearly 7/10ths of a mile counts as sniping. Most modern snipers have issues outside of much more than 1000 yards today as it is due to wind drift, unless they are in a controlled zone with wind blockage. That's exactly what I was after. The math is a little off though: great crossbow=150 flight arrows=+25 distance enchantment = x2 that gnome bow in A&EG isn't a crossbow though... Not the steambow or whatever it is, the Gnome Crossbow Sight. You attach it to a crossbow. Page 36. And I apparently remembered flight arrows incorrectly. Either way, it's still 3500 feet max range on a Great Crossbow, or 2900 max on a regular heavy crossbow. And there are a couple ways to expand that further, too. correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that the range on a great crossbow is 120' and that a gnomish crossbow sight makes your max range increment 12. |

You are mistaken, Heavy XBow is 120. Crossbow sight allows you to treat the penalties gained from range increments as though you were attacking two increments closer. |

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.
Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY! They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.
Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.
Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time. I give you much fu. Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie. |

The alchemical retainer lets you put 3 capsules in it. As a swift action you activate 1 (or all?) of the capsules. The capsules last 1 round and provide +1d6 elemental damage to all of your attacks that round.
Least Crystal of Energy Assault adds +1 damage of the elemental type noted.
Least Iron Ward Diamond gives you DR 1/-. Once it has absorbed 10 points of damage it becomes inactive until the next day.
Chronocharm lets you move your move speed as a swift action 1 / day.
Lesser Crystal of Life Drinking lets you heal a 3 HP each day when you attack a foe. Once you've healed 30 HP in a day, it becomes inactive until the next day.
Boots of Steadfastness = Steadfast Boots - So long as you're wielding a 2-handed weapon, you are considered set / readied against any charge attack, even if the weapon can't normally be "set" against a charge.
Bracers of Opportunity give you +2 to attack bonus on all AoO's, and 1 / day let you make one extra AoO in a round.

Note that dragonfang weapons cost 300 gp more, give additional one point of (ex) energy damage, and still have slots for augment crystals. Pick up sonic, since they dont' stack with other magical damage.

A 157
There's also Flesh to Ice from Frostburn, if you count non-stone materials (you do seem to be counting crystal).

If you deal enough damage to kill them with Flesh to Salt, they become salt. Not very impressive, though.
I'm pretty sure Druids have a level 9ish spell that gives them a gaze attack that turns people to stone. Call of Stone or something like that.

A158: There are a few that I know of: Insectile from Savage Species, & Spellwarped from MMIII. Perhaps Half-Illithid from Fiend Folio, though I don't own that book. Check crystalkeep.com/d20 for more.
A159: Not that I'm aware of.

 If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.
