That's actually why all one trick ponies are bad. Diversify, man.

I usually don't even play casters anyway, I just wanted to see how negative levels would work out.

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Dysfunctional Rules Collection
At greater than 10 feet, you're going to be speaking up a bit. That would pull the base DC a little into the negatives (I KNOW I've seen at least one item that involved a negative Listen DC because it was so freaking loud, so it can happen).

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Disfunctional Rules Collection
It should be noted that there are absolutely no rules for fixing drowing in official 3.5e materiel. By RAW, once you start drowning, you die in 3 rounds, no save.
Listen closely kids:
Double Jumping is perfectly legit in D&D. breaking the rules of physics by sheer awesome/skill is something every 6th level or higher D&D character can do by default.
The original Invisible Blade was 10 levels and had throwing abilities. The writer erata'd the 5 level version to have Weapon Focus as a prereq instead, and put the original 10 level up on his own website.
So basically Executive meddling at work.
1) Kobold rogues of level 8 or higher can still do this in 3.5e. Yay for racial sub levels.
2) This is awesome, and D&D breaks physics all the time anyway. There's no reason it shouldn't be allowed. I bounce off 3 fireballs and land on the giant to stab him in the eye = Awesome.

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Disfunctional Rules Collection
No, according to RAW, after three rounds, you drown. It does not specify what effects the status of "drowned" are.
One interpretation is that, as it says you start drowning on round 1, once round 3 comes around the process is over… and you can start over again. Of course, this now introduces an infinite loop of "I start drowning, fall to 0 and unconscious. Next round, I'm at -1 and I lose one health a round. 3rd round, I get kicked out of the loop. Following round, I start drowning and "fall" to 0 and unconscious…", which in my opinion is more absurd than a simple "heal by drowning".

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Dysfunctional Rules Collection
Actually, that only allows stabilization of dying characters. If you read the rules on drowning, you'll see that while the second round does qualify someone as "dying", the effect on the third round does not depend on whether or not someone is dying. Drowning starts a set of effects that proceed over three rounds, with no way to stop the progression.

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Dysfunctional Rules Collection
Except that the way interpreted above, the third round, you have "drowned", which I would take to mean that the 3-round process is complete. You'd still be at negatives and dying, but unless you are still submerged, you are not drowning. Staying submerged is what will get you into this infinite loop (in this interpretation, at least).
EDIT: Fixed spelling error (stupid autocorrect)

Not sure if it is covered here, but Pixies' natural state ("this ability is constant, but the pixie can suppress or resume it as a free action") is invisible. Pixies can not naturally see invisible.

Psions can manifest a power called "Ear Hand" that lets you presumably scoop up objects that are ≤5lbs with an invisible ear.
the Magnificent Captain's Coat requires that you become a pirate and terrorise the countryside while impersonating someone's dirty laundry

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Dysfunctional Rules Collection
Actually, there is a Wight template in Savage Species that can be added to any humanoid, and another Wight template from Dragon #300 that can be applied to any corporeal creature except constructs, oozes, and undead. So you can in fact have a wight dragon that isn't terribly weaker than living dragons (as opposed to white dragons, which always suck relative to other dragons ).

Re: "Wait, that didn't work right" - the Dysfunctional Rules Collection
I know, I'm being silly. I don't think they really meant that any more than they thought that dread pirates should spend their time impersonating shirts. this was clearly not their intent with the rules, but it's what is written and it's still pretty funny

"The DM may impose other penalties or restrictions to attack depending on the details of the cover. For example, to strike effectively through a narrow opening, you need to use a long piercing weapon,"
I'm pretty sure this isn't what you were referring to, but I still got a chuckle out of it.(It's on the same page)
