Q 125 The template is in Dungeon Magazine 112, and Crystal Keep, but is there anything that the maurid template can NOT be added to? Like constructs, undead, ghosts, etc.

Maurid Traits: Maximum hit points per hit die.
Immunity to mind-affecting attacks.
Not at risk of death from massive damage, but when reduced to 0 hit points or less, it is immediately destroyed in a flash of white energy. A maurid creature reforms with full hit points at a random point somewhere within 500 feet of the Id Core 24 hours later, as long as the Id Core still exists.
Dependent on the Id Core for life. If the Id Core is destroyed, all maurids immediately take 1d6 points of Constitution drain and continue to suffer 1d6 points of Constitution drain each day until they reach 0, at which point they vanish forever in a flash of white energy. If the maurid does not have a Constitution score, it is destroyed the instant the Id Core is destroyed.
Maurids do not breathe, eat, or sleep.
Living liches!
A player once asked me if there was any way to make a Tarrasque more evil... 3 sessions later he was stoned with D20s as the PC led an exidus out of the path of a Dire Tarrasque of Legendary Wonder.

Q126: Anyone know of any creatures with the Unearthly Grace ability (other than the nymph). Charisma to AC and Saves.

Astral stalker (MMIII, ECL 18) and gloura (Underdark, ECL 9) both have it.  Grimweird (MMIII, ECL 15) has unholy grace, which is identical except for the name.

That makes a lot of sense. But no, what confused me was the living liches. Isn't that an oxymoron since they're undead? I know there's good liches, but a living lich?

Q 127: Say a fighter has BAB +8/+3, has TWF and ITWF and is wielding a one-handed weapon in his main hand and a light weapon in the other. When he makes a full attack, how many attacks does he get and at what bonuses?

A127: +6/+1 with his main hand and +6/+1 with his off hand.  Full strength bonus on main hand damage, half that (round down) on off hand damage.

Blast, I was optimistic about master's touch, but it only works on weapons and shields.

I was thinking Heroics might do it if you already have light and medium armor proficiency, and it might, but I'm too lazy to look it up right now.

Checked Heroics already and (at least according to my SRD) Armor Proficiency (Heavy) is not a Fighter Bonus Feat.

Quote from: Player's Handbook, page 89
ARMOR PROFICIENCY (HEAVY) [GENERAL]
You are proficient with heavy armor (see Table 7-6: Armor and Shields, page 123).
Prerequisites: Armor Proficiency (light), Armor Proficiency (medium).
Benefit: See Armor Proficiency (light).
Normal: See Armor Proficiency (light).
Special: Fighters, paladins, and clerics automatically have Armor Proficiency (heavy) as a bonus feat.  They need not select it.

Maybe not the right sort of bonus feat, since Fighters already have Armor Prof for free, they didn't think to tag it with [Fighter].
The mind transcends the body.
It's also a little cold because of that.
Please get it a blanket.

I wish I could read your mind,
I can barely read mine.

"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

Even stuff that explicitly says a fighter can take it as a bonus feat, because fighters aren't getting it as an automatic bonus feat, isn't tagged [Fighter].  The only feat tags that seem to exist in the PHB are [General], [Item Creation], and [Metamagic].

Q129: Do Increases in Intelligence grant skill points retroactively?
Am I the only one who's mind was broken when they realized the implication of the existence of the aberration bloodline.

Q 130: Is there any magic item that allows you to never sleep?  I know the ring of sustenance brings your sleep need down to 2 hours, but is there anything that grants you NO sleep needed?
