Ask a Simple Question 25: Welcome to DIE!

Polymorph stuff:  Polymorph specifically does change your type & subtype to match your intended shape.  You would, however, gain the [Augmented Humanoid] subtype while in your different form.  Also, Polymorph will already let you be something Huge size.  That size limiting part of Alter Self does not actually apply.  That was clarified in the FAQ (and maybe in Rules Compendium as well).

Q.131 -  Will an undead get bonus/penaltys from getting old? A 56 years old Lich Human, for example, will he have +2 Int/Wis/Cha? If yes, what about -3 Str/Dex?

[Ithamar]

If he was old prior to becoming a lich, yes he'll have the stat bonus & penalties.  But once he is a lich, he stops aging.

Great, thanks!

Thanks, Ithamar.

Q.132 - How do i make my Dragon Familiar one size Bigger or myself one size lower? I kinda want to mount it, but none of them are humanoid for the classical spells to work.

[Ithamar]

A132:  Actually, you can probably just use Enlarge Person:

Share Spells:.

Q133:  The Nilshai from Unapproachable East have the Fiercesome Celerity ability, which is obviously 3.0 material.  Any updates to it?  The WotC web site was unhelpful.

Q134 White Raven tactics, If you pick it up due to class levels in say.. warblade, Can you use it twice before readying it again through the use of one of the maneuver granting magic items?

Q134 White Raven tactics, If you pick it up due to class levels in say.. warblade, Can you use it twice before readying it again through the use of one of the maneuver granting magic items?

A134: No, the items explicitly say that if you have martial initiator levels, the maneuver learnt is added to your repetoire, and is not given as a free 1 per enounter.

A133 Ith, I don't see anything in the errata or other updates.... one of many things to slip through the crack.

Q135 I've seen a lot of use of CoP to predict the future, like asking what is going to happen tomorrow and prepare accordingly. However, I can't find out where it says this is allowed?

you essentially word your questions like a binary engine, almost 20 Questuons-like, so that through one word answers you eventually divine the upcoming threats to yourself.

Q136: Besides AMF, is there any way to be immune to Su abilities? Hopefully noncaster-ish ways

Be a Dragonbone/Drakestone/Ironwrym golem.

Q 137: I'm making a caster in a stormwrack piracy game... is there a manual or handbook on weather magics, since it seems like he who controls the skys controls the seas?

There are several druid handbooks about that might have some information of the kind... other than that there is always the stormlord prc.

To my knowledge there's none; I did some research for a similar game before, to no avail. I may be wrong though.

With that said, you may want to skim through Druid spells.

Q138: Technically, it's a Pathfinder question, but what the hey.

What are ways for a mundane character (I.E. not a spellcaster) to inflict fear other than the use of Intimidate in Pathfinder? Preferrably with as little dipping as possible.

Q139: Is there any way to make an Su count as a spell? Like an inverse supernatural spell or something.

But it says nothing about the ability to answer a question about the future. Only answers questions that are true right now, how do I get around that?
