Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy.
Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. Any creature who consumes said elixir regains 10d6 hit points and has advantage on saving throws against. We essentially digitally re-master the book. You fill a vessel with a potent draught of healing. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.įor PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. What ways are there to permanently halt aging, at the very least, in 4e and 5e?Īlso, I literally mean eliminating the possibility of dying from advanced age and the related problems thereof, not merely keeping your character lively and spry until the sand runs out.These products were created by scanning an original printed edition.
Other than that there's still wish (good luck getting to cast it), and other than that I have no idea. Archaeologists from central China’s Henan Province made the discovery in a tomb that belonged to a family from the Western Han Dynasty which dates back to the time period from 202 BC to 8 AD and the elixir was even recorded in ancient Taoist literature. I also heard of a philosopher's stone and the whole "elixir of immortality" thing (which in this case you only had to drink it once to permanently become ageless).Īs goes 4e and 5e, I don't know if the philosopher's stone is still around (or even if it was a thing to begin with), Lich phylacteries now require an upkeep of sacrificing souls to keep it from imploding, which is tedious and sounds ridiculously complicated in the long run, not to mention makes liches EXCLUSIVELY evil as opposed to "more-likely-than-not-evil-but-can-still-have-the-occasional-good-exception" (although I have heard of at least home-brewed rules that allow for different types of phylacteries which are charged by either blood or magic, namely by dipping them in large amounts of blood, or giving up half your available spell slots until your next long rest, but I'm not sure if those are just home-brewed rules or actual material). A mysterious liquid that was found in a 2,000-year-old bronze pot is said to be an elixir of life.
As goes 3.5, the only ways I knew to make your character at least ageless and not able to die of old age was either by making a bargain with a God, Demon, or similar entity, becoming a lich, or somehow managing to convince your DM to eventually letting you level up to the point where you could cast wish.
That said, I don't have any of the books anymore and the ones I did have were for 3.5. Last I actually played was back in my early high school years, when 3.5 (best edition, IMO) was still the latest and 4e had not come out yet. Just wondering how what all ways of extending a character's lifespan indefinitely are in D&D anymore.
