Where are those found on the athas.org site?
Normally, I would be reading this, open the reply box, decide what I had to say didn't need said, and close out. But this is just too ridiculous.

Oh... right. I've been meaning to download those. I thought for a minute there was a forum or something on the site that I couldn't find.

Creatures without Dex scores use Int for initiative checks. Never knew that before.

Where's that at?

Edit: found it in the 'nonabilities'

What happens if they're both nonabilities? :P

Those are called "objects"

Not really... just non-intelligent and immobile.

There's a Dragon mag template that give Dex and Con as nonabilities. Just lose Int and what happens?

There was a time where I meant to do a nonability build where all but Cha was a '--'. But that fell by the wayside.

You have to still have Wis, so...

Yeah, lowest possible ability scores are Str -, Dex -, Con -, Cha 1, Wis 1, Int -.

You're an undead plant. Or something.

Dream Element template gets rid of Wis... But I'm not sure how to get to it...

Here's a really rough base.
A spectral dream element living wall hairy spider


Maybe just use alternate form?
A dream element dumb creature turning into an incorporeal living wall?


Edit:
But since dream element has no LA, the lowest scores I've come up with for a PLAYABLE char, are...

Str -, Dex -, Con -, Int -, Wis 1, Cha 1
A symbiotic phantom living wall badger-hairy spider with deformity (madness), Wis <6, and a <12 Cha.
The host gains the living wall template after the symbiotic template.
This creature has 1 racial HD and a +1 LA.

The ability modifier for a nonability is always +0.

I know... Just strange having everything switch with everything, then the new score is gone.

Alchemist's blessing (Dungeon 116, p90) is a magic item that allows potions used with it to affect 3 targets.  It seems like something could be done with that, possibly involving master alchemist (Magic of Faerun, p34).

Found this earlier today:

Here is an interesting clause from Stone Body:
Quote
A transmute mud to rock heals you of all your lost hit points.
Granted it takes two spells of 6th and 5th levels, but it is basically an arcane self-heal, except it heals ALL your hit point damage, plus nonlethal, and is not limited to 10 hp's per caster level.

Dragons just got better  :plotting

Which version of Stone Body is that from? It's been printed in a few sources.
