Epic Char

[Lord Kain]

Oathbound connects to the astral plane some spells are simply barred.

The book only makes mention of teleport with out error and astral projection not working as well as planeshifting to anywhere but the etherial plane. It makes to mention of say dimenson door or regular teleport.

According to the book, if you have constructed a ring of binding you can then use those barred spells freely. Dimenson Door and regular teleport have a limited range. Teleport with out error or greater teleport does not and thus one could teleport through one of the stars in the sky (the stars of oathbound being portals to other worlds).
So near as I can tell regular teleport and other more sort range spells would still function you simply can't leave the bounds of oathbound.

If all conjuration(teleporation) magic was blocked it simply say so.



I'd skip the baleful polymorph lots of epic creatures are immune to it or have shapechanging powers of there own. Which would negate it on thier turn.

explain to me this thing called a Ring of Binding. I am vastly unfamiliar with Oathbound.

And being a shape changer would only be benificial if the retained their mind by succeding the will save IMHO

They changed the spell from the PHB, check the errata or the SRD.

Baleful Polymorph
Transmutation
Level: Drd 5, Sor/Wiz 5
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One creature
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates, Will partial; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes
You change the subject into a Small or smaller animal of no more than 1 HD (such as a dog, lizard, monkey, or toad). The subject takes on all the statistics and special abilities of an average member of the new form in place of its own except as follows:

The target retains its own alignment (and personality, within the limits of the new form’s ability scores).
The target retains its own hit points.
The target is treated has having its normal Hit Dice for purpose of adjudicating effects based on HD, such as the sleep spell, though it uses the new form’s base attack bonus, base save bonuses, and all other statistics derived from Hit Dice.
The target also retains the ability to understand (but not to speak) the languages it understood in its original form. It can write in the languages it understands, but only the form is capable of writing in some manner (such as drawing in the dirt with a paw).
With those exceptions, the target’s normal game statistics are replaced by those of the new form. The target loses all the special abilities it has in its normal form, including its class features.

All items worn or carried by the subject fall to the ground at its feet, even if they could be worn or carried by the new form.

If the new form would prove fatal to the creature (for example, if you polymorphed a landbound target into a fish, or an airborne target into a toad), the subject gets a +4 bonus on the save.

If the subject remains in the new form for 24 consecutive hours, it must attempt a Will save. If this save fails, it loses its ability to understand language, as well as all other memories of its previous form, and its Hit Dice and hit points change to match an average creature of its new form. These abilities and statistics return to normal if the effect is later ended.

The second save doesn't happen for 24 hours.

Alright a ring of binding allows one to leave oathbound,
The first part is rather easy you gather components that cost 1000gp per character level. The second part is not and totally in DM hands as you must look for the final pieces that would be likely hidden in the undercity of Penance.

Now once your ring is finished you may leave oathbound. No one but you may use your ring of binding and if you ever level up. The ring becomes useless.

So basically don't bother

Alrighty. Shadow Master rather than Dark Transient now.
