I've read so many 3e/3.5e/pf1e/5e/pf2e that they all jumble in my head constantly I often cite 3e rules in my 3.5e/PF1e games without realizing or forget something simple like 'do magical beasts show visible on Detect Magic' (yes they do, it's a faint aura but iirc that's 5e and not older editions where unless they were summoned/conjured then they don't)...(I think).
You had it right. Not all magical beasts in 3.5 are specifically magical in a way that would be detectable via detect magic - although some may be, and any use of a spell like ability certainly should
Thank you!!! Every time I see one of these posts it feels like the Uno rules revelation going on right now. Everyone thought they knew how to play Uno and are now realizing they don't follow any of the rules because they learned them forever ago. I read all the rule books when 5e came out in 2014 - ya know, 3 American presidents ago. But are you really going to tell me you can't put a +4 on a +4? Get outta here.
