Potion of wieldskill stapled to scroll of guidance of the avatar stapled to scroll of timestop?

I think there are boots of temporal acceleration lurking somewhere, though.  Also, maybe highest level weapon of legacy abilities?

I think fey bloodline wouldn't, unseelie fey template would.
It's not time stop, but it does the same thing. Not half bad. Cheaper than taking Time Stop 1/day, that's for sure. Not quite the stop watch from Castlevania, but it'll definitely do.

I wondered about that. Assuming fey-blooded and half-fey would do it too?

Anything that changes creature type to Fey or explicitly says you count as type Fey for purposes of whatever it is you want to do.

Nothing that isn't fey, doesn't count as fey, and just sings to trees and goes to parades in San Fransisco.

You know, a problem like this came up in Family Guy once, and the solution was pretty simple.

"No."

A. Either Figher 1 with the Hit and Run ACF, or a Whirling Frenzy Barbarian.

Q201. Is there a non-class way to gain the ability to turn undead, or have something that counts as turning undead?

You can't use a UMD check to grab yourself a Divine feat, can you?

On a strange note, would anyone be put out if we had a post about people or events we can spare a thought for, or if its within their creed, a prayer for? Just a random thought, but ... hells I wouldn't have known about either Archangels daughter or Saeomons niece if I didn't happen to be on these threads.
Sounds fine to me.
probably over on "Off-topic".
might want to put a little disclaimer in the first post.

This is the Min/Max board. We should be able to figure out a way to optimize the POWER OF PRAYER(TM) that doesn't involve "Pazuzu, Pazuzu, Pazuzu".

A 200:  I'd say Beguiler, unless you're determining Int completely randomly and it turned out low.  Tiny size, unassuming appearance, high Dex, and racial Move Silently bonus should help a lot with taking advantage of Cloaked Casting and Surprise Casting.  Also you can use Charm Monster to turn trolls into crazy cat ladies and that's got to be good for a few laughs.

Decided to go back a few pages, and bump a few missed questions...
Q 150 Were archliches evil in 2nd Ed? I'm reading up on a being named Deimos who was an archlich in the Mystara world, but arch liches are of the good variety in 3.5, are they not? If that's the case, what would Deimos be now?

Q 156 Where can I find info on the Riyakaa creature?

Q 176 Where can I find the Mantle of Freedom feat? Google doesn't work, and the X to Y thread says Dungeon 104? pg? (I can't find it in that book).

Q 199 Is the bard the only class that's naturally proficient with the whip?

And add a couple of new ones...

Q 202 Anyone know if they ever updated the Vampire Lord to 3.5 http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/mm/20021018a? As it stands now, it'd DR is 10/+3.

The original vampire template gave the creature DR 15/+1, which got changed to 10/magic and silver.

Q 203 Is there a light shield version of the Gauntlet Shield from Races of Stone?

No, and no. Well, unless Archlich is special in Mystara. Not a lot of familiarity with that one.

Q 156 Where can I find info on the Riyakaa creature?
No idea.
Q 176 Where can I find the Mantle of Freedom feat? Google doesn't work, and the X to Y thread says Dungeon 104? pg? (I can't find it in that book).
No idea. Never heard of it.
Q 199 Is the bard the only class that's naturally proficient with the whip?
Only base class in official wotc 3.5, unless there's an ACF for it somewhere, yes.

No, it was never updated. I'd imagine it'd be the same, though. Maybe 15/magic and silver if you are looking for a strong boost except by weapons that bypass it.

Nope.

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...

Orange Ioun Stone, any ability that increases caster level for that school/subschool (such as Dimensional Jaunt for a Teleportation spell-like or Fey Power for an Enchantment), any ability that flat out increases caster level (Draconic Power)

There are more, but those are the basics.

Sounds like the Ardent class from Complete Psionic?  Ardents access Mantles, one of which is Freedom.

Q41 If a dragon was able to use the spell Steal Life (BovD, pg 106) from a greater Ring of Spell Storing or some such shenanegans, could making itself younger reduce its Hit Dice?

I want to say DMG, section on Monsters as PCs. Not positive though. Anyone confirm?

Q.197 - Forgotten, Times of Trouble, Epic Champaign, i'm an Epic Druid, and i need to find Mielikki's Avatar ASAP, of course, Divinations won't work, and soon no divine magic at all, so, suggestions? It can be a roleplay-based-tip, anything is welcome.

Look for whichever place has the greatest concentration of natural life, it's a sure bet. There's a good chance her avatar is an unicorn, as well, so you should keep your eyes peeled for those.

That's pretty vague, how am i supposed to make this "concentration" analysis? Is there a spell that helps in this?

Not really. A geography check would probably help. It's not Concentration in the DnD sense, but in the real world sense of density.

Q 206 What's the feat that allows a creature with multiple limbs to wear more than the base number of items? ie Enabling a Marilith to wear three rings, or two sets of bracers.
A 206: Extra Item Space, the monstrous feat from Savage Species. It gives you one extra item slot per feat use. It can be used multiple times. So a Marilith could take the feat 4 times and have 4 more ring slots for a total of 6 ring slots.

Also, there's the Additional Magic Item Space Epic feat from the Epic Level Handbook which does the same thing but requires an Epic Feat. And apparently it can't be used on the same type of magic item slot. But it can be used by anyone.

Thanks. I didn't realize that there were two sets of feat pages in SS. Getting the name really helped.

A206 suplemental:

also there is this:

Extra Rings
Type: Item Creation
Source: Eberron Campaign Setting
Your familiarity with forging magic rings allows you to make use of more rings than normal.
Prerequisite: Forge Ring, caster level 12th.
Benefit: You can wear up to four magic rings, two on each hand, and all function normally.
Normal: Without this feat, you can only wear and use two magic rings at one time.


or you could use some magic items that allow extra things: Spare Hand(MIC), Hand of Glory(DMG)
