1. Do spell like abilities require concentration checks?
Mainly this is for all the critters with built in spell like abilities (demons, devils, and such)
These critters usually have ok concentration checks I know; this is mostly for me to remember to use them as DM.

2. Is there a final word on whether or not undead are immune to cold? I know liches get it, but I'm never sure if any others do.
As DM I could just say that's the way it is but I'd like to know if there's something in print. It makes sense to me.

3. Is there a Dire "stuff" template somewhere? I was looking to make my own critter(dire chicken as a holiday gift :D ) the other day and couldn't find it in the MM.

4. Has there been a difinitive update to the ELH somewhere, even unofficial? Building Epic creatures and NPC's is still a pain.
Granted that's a lot of power in one character but still. This sprinkling of items in every new book is irritating.

I haven't been on the boards in a while, I feel out of touch.

2. Only if it says they're immune to cold, because I know zombies arn't, but skeletons are. Or maybe it's the other way around....

No. But they do take a standard action unless otherwise stated.

Not unless so stated in the description.

Yes, but I don't know where it is if it isn't in the MM ... in fact, I am sure it IS in the MM.

Not that I am aware, which probably means the ELH is still valid for 3.5.
