Well "near" water isn't a problem. As for IN water.. well you'd need fast healing equal to the damage delt. Spending some time on an ultra-fast plane to aquire evolved undead template could work if the DM rules the fast healing to stack. edit: never mind, just re-read the template... it stops the fast healing  |

"Levels" of ghost are just gradual LAs... not sure what the question is.
I guess I'm just confused on how buying off some of the LA works. If I'm instructed to build a level 20 character, I want the first four levels of ghost, and I'm allowed to buy off three of them, what happens? If I wind up Ghost 4/Something 16 then why did I buy them off? to prevent being Ghost 4/Something 12? Sorry if I'm asking something pretty obvious, haven't done much with LA/HD races. You wind up as a Something 19 with a LA+1 and the benefits of ghost 4. Each "level" of ghost just gives you a point of LA and the listed benefits. You don't get a hit die or whatever. It's a template class - they're weird. That's what I thought and posted before but someone corrected me, maybe they just misunderstood, I didn't exactly say it very well. |

For Dry Lich, there is actually an item in the DMG that works: Necklace of Adaptation (creates a buble of clean air around them).

I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle. The book doesn't even exist! Quotes: By yes, she means no.
That explains so much about my life. hiicantcomeupwithacharacterthatisntaghostwhyisthatamijustretardedorsomething
Why would you even do this? It hurts my eyes and looks like you ate your keyboard before suffering an attack of explosive diarrhea. If using Genesis to hide your phylactry, set it at -300 degrees farenheit. See how do-gooders fare with a liquid atmosphere. |

Stuff your ribcage with black sand, add on an autoreset magic trap of inflict light wounds (statted in DMG for 1000 gp).

Q108: I lose all my class features if I stop being Lawful. How do I get Pounce?
Some Barbarian variant from UA. Lion Totem I think. Q108b: I mentioned specifically that I lose all my class features if I'm no longer lawful because I thought Barbs has to be Chaotic and thus that option was out. Barbarians have to be non-lawful, actually. If you're building the character from the ground up, start as a non-lawful barbarian, become lawful, and take levels in whatever lawful-only class you're aiming for. A barbarian who becomes lawful loses the ability to rage and cannot gain more levels as a barbarian. He retains all the other benefits of the class (damage reduction, fast movement, trap sense, and uncanny dodge).
That's what I thought and posted before but someone corrected me, maybe they just misunderstood, I didn't exactly say it very well.
Yes, I'm fairly certain McPoyo just overlooked the part about LA buy-off. |

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. |

Yes, I'm fairly certain McPoyo just overlooked the part about LA buy-off. Yeah, I rechecked the Barbarian thing and I think that's the plan. It's a shame about losing out on one of the class features, but Pounce is good. |

A108b: A Druidic Avenger can be lawful neutral, and gets the ability to rage and fast movement at level 1. So swap fast movement for pounce, like in Complete Champion. You end up with 2 good saves instead of 1, better skill list, ability to cast a few spells. You lose a few HP of course. But at least you get to stay lawful.

Lion Totem Barbarian is supposed to be for Barbarians though... Q111 Where are the rules that say you can do this sort of thing with alternative class features? [Any suggestions as to how to trade away Wild Empathy? CC has one for ranger, but the benefits are based on ranger lvl...] |

As far as I know, there aren't any actual rules about swapping ACF's like that. Ask your DM, hopefully (s)he will be reasonable.

Q 113 Follow up question because the thread's locked. The tiers are based on the base classes, and only a few variants. What about the other variants? Like Mystic Ranger, or the full spellcasting Spellthief? Does that tier list have the hexblade listed as what's in the book, or the newly updated one that Mike Mearls announced?

Classes not in sourcebooks are generally not listed, because frankly there's a friggin' assload of them all over the internet. Mystic Ranger is likely another T3 Ranger variant. I'm not familiar at all with the full-casting Spellthief or the variant Hexblade. Also of note is the fact that Swift Hunters are Tier 3, and Daring Outlaws are likely Tier 4. Shapeshift variant Druids are Tier 2. If you describe a class to us, we can likely peg it's tier given some thought and discussion. If you're lucky, the discussion won't involve the mothers of the posters. Q114: If wearing Slippers of Battledancing, can you wield a one-handed weapon (say a Longsword) in two hands in order to apply Cha to attacks and 3/2 Cha to damage, on top of more favorable Power Attack returns? |

An interesting read, nice to see a civil discussion The point of Spell Resistance is to make it harder to get buffed. And healed. Don't forget that. Huge amounts of people are fuckwits. That doesn't mean that fuckwit is a valid lifestyle. Old Geezer's Law of Hobby Taste: The more objectively inconsequential a hobby is, the more disagreements within the community will be expressed in outrageously insulting, overblown, and ludicrously emotionally laden terms. More Funny than HumbleYour a shifter... you have all you ever need. It blows MoMF out of the water But if your greedy for more [ Wish] for something that only effects you, like another class level or two that doesn't count against your ECL. Yes, I'm the 3.0 "Masters of the Wild" shifter, the awesome kind. My favorite form to take is Force Dragon. Yes, I am immortal ... My character is hands down the coolest guy in the campaign and there is nothing I could possibly want. PBMC gets a cookie for DotA r |

A114:
DMG2: If he moves at least 10 feet as part of a move action, he can use his Charisma modifier instead of his Strength or Dexterity modifier for attack rolls and damage rolls with one-handed or light weapons (both melee and ranged).
Actually, the wording implies that you can. The normal way of calculating damage with two-handed weapons is 1½ times the character’s Strength bonus (SRD). Slippers allow you to replace the Strength with Charisma. Neat.

Q115: Assuming I have access to Gate with no component cost, and assuming also that efreet wish chaining or pretty much any application of it other than calling in a badass outsider to win fights for me will get me punched by the DM, what are the top picks to gate in for my fights? Solar and balor are the obvious ones, but are there any other particular gems I should be thinking of?

Maybe some planar dragon from draconomicon would be a good idea.... Or if you cast Gate as a 20 level caster you could call an Infernal from ELH...... But if you do that the dm may punch you.....  |
