Min/Max Boards

Is there an actual rule anywhere that states you can only take a prestige class once?  If there was a little 5 level PrC, you "finish" it at level 10, could you take level 1 all over again when you level up?  You still qualify for the PrC after all.

So in the 2nd party Fun Finds thread, someone just mentioned Radiant Holding, a +3 weapon enhancement found in Magic of Faerun (pg. 140).  It makes your projectile deal 1 point of Force damage and the attack is resolved as a touch attack.

OK, so does any other damage apply, or is it always just 1 point?  Could you still stack on skirmish damage?  What about Favored Enemy bonus?  Weapon Specialization?  If you have the Power Throw feat, can you add power attack damage to the toss?  Can you put this on a Necklace of Natural Attacks?

If this is more in depth than just a quick question, maybe a mod/admin can move the thread.

Besides true dragons, kobolds, and phaerrim, any other races have actual "age categories"?  (Obviously I don't mean middle aged, old, venerable.)

My googling has not produced the desired results, but I'm sure I've seen a fighter variant from Dragon magazine called the Pugilist.  Specifically they get to ignore non-lethal damage at level 1, yes?  Can someone help direct me to the right source.

Thanks!

Edit:  And I just found it.  Dang!  Just ignore this thread. 

I seem to recall reading about an item on these board that you can give to your animal companion or familiar so that it can speak.  I think it was called the pearl of speech, or something similar.  Anyone have any ideas what the actual name might be and/or where it can be found?

I'm making an app for a PbP game that is level 20 gestalt.  There are 3 BBEG's, all of whom are undead (2 vampires & 1 lich).  My character is a Marut, which will take up one entire side of the gestalt.  It is the other side that I am having trouble with.  My backstory is that my Marut was originally tasked with destroying the lich, which everyone thought he did about 300 years ago.  But now the lich has re-appeared and my guy is being ordered to finish what he started.

So we have a creature of pure Law that needs to be able to hunt down and kill the lich and destroy his phylactery once and for all.  Not to mention dealing with the various other undead (and some living) mooks and whatnot.  (He will be part of a team though, so he does not need to accomplish this task solo.  Other teammates have not been chosen.)

I was originally going to just go with Cleric 20 (with Mechanus domain), but that is feeling a tad uninspired at the moment.  So I'm looking for suggestions on how to make this guy pretty much the embodiment of Law & Order.  Prestige class suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Also, he has lots of decent immunities from being a construct, but his HP kind of suck and his Fort save is definitely lacking.  How can we help out with that?

I had considered using the UA druid that does not get wild shape but instead gets WIS to AC & Favoured Enemies.  If you strip away some of the nature aspects of it, the class makes a pretty good fit since it gets tracking, speed boosts, and a few more skill points than cleric.  I'd probably swap the animal companion for the elemental ACF in Complete Mage and use the few sub levels from Planar Handbook.  But still seems like it could use a bit more LAWfulness.

The Divine Magician ACF from Complete Mage was also somewhat appealing, but would it be worth it for this guy?

Pretty much any source is available, and the DM expects powerful characters but will avoid anything obviously broken.  Using Fractional BAB & Saves.  I've rolled stats that are not awful, but aren't great:  15-15-15-13-13-10 (drop the 10 since no CON score).

Suggestions?

I need a way for an 8th level gestalt PC in Eberron to reliably and frequently cast (or otherwise utilize) the Find the Path spell.  It does not have to be that spell exactly, but if there is an item that duplicates the effect, or a creature that has that innate ability, etc.

Classes for the gestalt can be from pretty much anything besides Faerun.  Ideas or suggestions?

Besides the epic feat, is there any other feat that lets a creature with fast healing improve it?

I am playing in a no-magic game, but the PC's do have fast healing.  So a way to bump that up an extra +1 or +2 HP per round would go a long way to helping survivability.

So the base creature for a ghost has to be:  "aberration, animal, dragon, giant, humanoid, magical beast, monstrous humanoid, or plant."  So what is the lowest ECL way to get a pixie to qualify?  Is Half-Dragon template it, or is there something less than +3 LA?

Perhaps a newb type question, but the discussion came up in my arena and just wanted some additional feedback.  Can the Displacement spell prevent AoO's?

You can’t execute an attack of opportunity against an opponent with total concealment, even if you know what square or squares the opponent occupies.

However, unlike actual total concealment, displacement does not prevent enemies from targeting the creature normally.

Does that mean target them with spells specifically, or just with any attack, even AoO's?
