Ooh, lots of questions. I like questions.
Too bad a lot of the answers are some variatio of "no." Sorry about that.
Alrighty, first no PHB2. See the first post for the allowed book list. That also means no Player's Guide to Faerun (sorry Myth).
As for "what type of dwarf" yes, I meant what subrace, Realms specific. If you want to just go "generic dwarf" that'll be a Shield Dwarf.
Welcome aboard ghostcat!
Myth, Prestige Paladin? Do you mean the variant from Unearthed Arcana? Not using UA for this game, sorry.
Also, Fist of Raziel is from Book of Exalted Deeds...not using that this game either, sorry.
Regarding Nightstick abuse, I've never actually seen it happen in my games. If it comes up and turns out to be a problem, we'll handle it then. What is the feat or ability that allows you to convert turning to spells?
