How do I make an improptu fix to a lore discrepancy without it feeling forced?

Are there rules that treat Ceremorphosis as an illness or curable/resistable infliction?
Lords of Madness has one
Ceremorphosis isn’t entirely consistent from source to source—duration, suitable hosts, etc., tend to vary. But at least one book did describe the experience in some mechanica …

Based on deities found in the “3.5e revised edition” of D&D—which is fairly old at this point—I have some suggestions: Ehlonna, Gwaeron Windstrom, Hiatea, Mielikki, and Skerrit are probably your best …

Is there a lore explanation why each setting might have different deities?

Do the Fey have an enemy race?
Traditionally, that would simply be other fey. Fey are often divided into two or more “courts,” usually “seelie” or “summer” vs. “unseelie” or “winter,” though going with a court for each of the four …

Is there any feat/condition/encounter that gives a character grey eyes?
Characters are free to pick any eye-color they want. The character can have gray eyes just because the player says he or she does.

Could a significantly powerful caster use create demiplane, permanency and astral projection...
If nothing else, there’s always cutting the silver cord:
While you are on the Astral Plane, your astral body is connected at all times to your physical body by an incorporeal silver cord. If the c …

How did House Deneith prevent mass losses?
I don’t believe that official materials discuss this at all. Certainly, Eberron Campaign Setting, Player’s Guide to Eberron, Dragonmarked, and The Forge of War, by far the supplements most likely to d …
