don't recall if it was mentioned yet or not, but the grey portrait prevents all aging and death so long as it is undestroyed.

[spoiler]Gray Portrait: Initially only a blank canvas, a gray portrait becomes a picture of the owner after one week. After this time, it magically absorbs all the negative effects of aging and prevents the owner from dying of old age. If the portrait is destroyed, the owner immediately suffers all the negative effects of age and instantly dies if he has outlived his natural lifespan. If the owner is killed by any means, the canvas becomes blank again.

    Aura: Strong necromancy [Evil]; Caster Level: 20th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, temporal stasis; Weight: 10 lbs.[/spoiler]

I don't know if it was mentioned at the 10 sites, sry if it allrdy was...

The Book of Erotic Fantasy contains a spell letting you age backwards until you want to stop aging. Pretty awesome imo and should be mentioned.

btw: how can you get with a expert 1 2d6 sneak by bonus feats? Book & Page would be nice.

boef is not official material, so is frequently disallowed. nice to know it exists though for those who don't mind using such.

Presuming you mean 2d6 sneak attack: Tome of Battle, page 75 (Assassin's Stance) and 31 (Martial Stance).
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

NOTE: You can actually qualify for this class at 1st level. Take a level of Generic Expert (here), choose Heal, Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (religion), Hide, and Move Silently as class skills, and Sneak Attack +2d6 as your bonus feat. Instant qualification at level 1 (thanks to awaken DM golem for the early-entry trick).

I still don't get it. Your initiator level is half your ECL. How could you take a lvl3-stance then? Take Martial Study, then Martial Stance, but this does not allow you to take any stance beyond your level.

Oh, that. My bad. He's referring to the Expert generic class, from Unearthed Arcana (don't know the page off-hand, but it should be in the Classes chapter). Generic classes are supposed to replace base classes and can get class features as bonus feats, the idea being to allow customization while keeping the base class list simple. One of the class feature bonus feats gives Sneak Attack +2d6, IIRC.

Situation:
You are transported from our dimension to for example Faeurun or other D&D world.

Question:
What is more simplest and efficient way to Immortality for that sort of person? 
Radical Taoist
[spoiler]It bears saying: if up against a logic-impervious DM who thinks Core is balanced and Psionics*  isn't, then the most powerful way to disprove that is to play a C.o.D. (Cleric or Druid). Noncore material will not be necessary unless you are going for pure overkill (Draconic Wildshape? Divine Metamagic?). So by all means, if you must win that argument, take you C.o.D. to town. Annihilate the opposition. Make the NPCs and other players scream "Oh no, it's C.o.D.zilla!!!!!" in badly dubbed English. Breathe radioactive fire. Knock down buildings. Then stomp out of the burning Tokyo that is the ruins of the game and swim off into the ocean, seeking a DM with some basic cognitive functions. [/profile]

To me, the bigger issue is that while female undead can probably have sex just fine, complications may arise for males. Do Necropolitans have blood? This may probably be alleviated by magic (Law of First Adopters dictates that there will be such a spell), but I wouldn't want to bet on getting easy/free access to it.

Stench shouldn't be too much of an issue, most intelligent undead seem to be preserved in some way. Necropolitans even have natural healing.

Become an elan then, there is some sort of ritual for that according to the fluff.

Also, I don't appreciate people swearing at me while I am trying to help them. It isn't my fault that your posts are unintelligible.

Sorry... it wasn't on/at you,... Ehhh
Sorry. I Apologize.

Elan Is good, but you lose lvl and some sort of memorise of you live before ritual... 
But it will probably by the best option.... Other is Reincarnate from Druid or Steal Live from Vile darkness. Correct?

Kissed by the ages or Tasmia's Heart also work but the various type changing is generally the easiest.
