Class and Level Geekery IX: the thread levels up again!

[Kurald Galain]

Actually I was operating under the assumption that Xykon lost everything not explicitly recovered after he was thrown into the gate and Dorukan's Dungeon exploded. Is that a good idea or should I reverse that idea?

That's a good point... but we know he still has Dorukan's headband and the soul gem, and I don't think we have seen him explicitly recovering either. So I think it's a fair bet that Redcloak somehow recovered all important items when he escaped.

Actually, there was one of those giant flame-war-like arguments about whether the ability score requirement depends on the spell's level

That was several years ago, in 2006, and the way this thread works has substantially changed since then. The first few editions of this thread have a lot of statements like "Hinjo is a competent leader so he likely has a 14+ intelligence" or "Elan has Weapon Finesse because all good bard builds include that feat" and so forth. The thread hasn't worked this way for a long time now.
I would be happy to see statements of RAW as to what the required ability score should be. I don't see any point in statements like "we disagreed about this seven years ago so we must never talk about it ever again".

Quick question re: Elan, probably a typo. Shouldn't Elan's level for Dashing Swordsman be 1+?

We don't usually list "1+" because it's redundant.
