So no, you don't get Plant immunities.  You can read the details for yourself in the SRD:

Thanks Zebu. That was the impression I was under. Damn.

QWhatever:

Does Death Knell stack with itself? It gives untyped bonuses, but I'm just making extra sure.
[spoiler]Fighter: "I can kill a guy in one turn."
Cleric: "I can kill a guy in half a turn."
Wizard: "I can kill a guy before my turn."
Bard: "I can get three idiots to kill guys for me."

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".

I think that would be an instance of bonuses coming from the same source.

Q 167b Follow-up. I accept the link for LA +0, but is there a link for LA +1 to LA +4? Like tieflings to half-fiends?
There's my ultimate Player Race List with LA +1 and LA +2.

Thanks. I needed these.

My Druid is just about to hit level 13, and I was thinking: now for the epic stuff. But I can't find any decent level 7 spells?!

What are the best around?

Core, I'd say Control Weather, Fire Storm, Heal, Greater Scrying, and True Seeing, with situational usefulness for Sunbeam.  PHB II has As The Frost, which is pretty cool.  You'd have to check other splats for more.

Unicorn Heart (complete mage?) is a nice spell too:
1h/lvl duration, gives 60ft base land speed, +4 to all str, dex and conbased ability and skillchecks and you can expand it as a swift action to use a small dimension door effect (but you can still act after it unlike with then normal DD)

Not too keen on the others, but As the Frost is great. My type becomes Outsider, so do I gain darkvision: 60' and stop breathing? Also, I thought outsiders had some immunities but I can't find any?

Unicorn Heart is nice too. Because the +4 enhancement bonus is to ability and skill checks and not to the ability itself, does it stack with say bull strength?

Wicked! I can use it with my 'Braces of entangling Blast'=more damage, slow, and entangle enemies within 15'. Perfect!

If I'm an Outsider, do I get Martial Weapon Proficiency?

Someone had a build once that had a massive caster level for a ranger/abjurant champion (I think).
Anyone know where it is?

I just thought of a combo with 'Deflect' from PHB2 for epic armour class.

Yes on the first two, no immunities other than the standards for no longer being humanoid.


Note that control weather lets you create tornadoes.

Great, thanks. Yeah control weather rocks. I prefer control winds (also tornados) but a bit more specific control. Any good tricks for control weather?

Well, combining it with control winds lets you just hang around while the rest of the world gets torn to pieces. 

Most useful as an army-killer, though, unless you want to turn it into a smaller locate city bomb.

Explosive spell + something to make it do damage?

Search the forums for KellKheraptis's master spellthief builds. It's in one of those threads.

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.
