The SRD website is kind of dumb about replacing the first RHD; the actual books don't mention humanoids at all - much like the whole "dex0=paralysis", they just screwed up when they transferred the info.
generally fuck shit up
An interesting read, nice to see a civil discussion

Huge amounts of people are fuckwits. That doesn't mean that fuckwit is a valid lifestyle.
Your a shifter... you have all you ever need.It blows MoMF out of the waterBut 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.

I have a vague recollection of a bow with mechanical assistance built in. Some sort of non-magical/clockwork/alchemical thing. I think it let you treat your strength as higher if you took longer to fire it. I seem to remember the fluff saying something about gnomes. Does this ring a bell for anyone? I've been searching through the Wizards site and old Dragon magazines, but I can't find it.
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!

the most effective optimization is the one you can actually get away with.

I often have to remind people not to underrate divination. The ability to effectively metagame without actually metagaming beats the ability to set things on fire more times than not.

In fact, the Dragonwrought feat does very little to the aging process of a Kobold: eliminating aging penalties and extending the ultimate lifespan of the kobold by a small amount. It does not cause you to gain age categories as a true dragon.As for other templates, a fluff argument could be made for gaining the mental bonuses on-schedule for undead templates, and not taking the physical penalties. In pretty much every other case, however, there are simply no rules at all regarding what happens to a creature's age categories once you stick a template on it. Not even in Savage Species.Check RotD again, kobold age section. DWK speciically run off another aging table that has dragon age categories.Actually all kobolds use that table. They also have the normal Aging effects table that dictates when they gain stat bonuses & penalties.Interestingly I found a partial answer to my question. RotD p61 under death states that Half-Dragons live longer than thier base race but don't live as long as dragons. It even calls out pairing between an elf and a dragon can create a half-dragon that can live as long as a great wyrm.In other words, the first table is fluff, the second is mechanics.If it's a table, it's not fluff. All Kobolds have 12 age categories (the same 12 as Dragons, I might add). That said, this is irrelevant to the question.While I'm pretty sure that many templates change the creature's lifespan, I can't think of any at all that have an actual listing of by how much (except undead templates which are indefinitely).

Q136: If you're an Strength 8 weakling druid who spends most of his time in Str 19 black bear form, could you take a strength-prereq feat like Knockdown? (Yes, I know, probably DM adjucation. But is there a RAW ruling I could point to? Or, heck, even a Sage ruling?)
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.
What about the table on page 128 of the DMG?

(Yes, I know, probably DM adjucation. But is there a RAW ruling I could point to? Or, heck, even a Sage ruling?)I would say yes, but it would only kick in when you had that STR. It's like how people do the War Hulk PrC, which requires you to be Large size more bigger, but only have access to it when they grow to that size.

Figure something interesting could be done with War Hulk and that thing that makes you grow a size when raging.
