Walker in the Waste would be awesome....but of course you would end up going the other way and becoming undead :)

If a healing spell (any, not just 4th level or lower) is cast within 30 feet, 3 times a day you can have it affect you instead of the intended target. You can get it to work with Heal too though, which is an awesome spell to steal from that nasty dragon wanting to keep itself alive...

But then a ring of counterspelling Dispel Magic doesn't apply vs Greater Dispel Magic and all the other effects. You can get spellblades too on spikes, but how many different spells do you need to be protected against to cover all sins?

To be fair, I think if I were to play a druid I would be looking at getting rid of the animal companion for something more self orientated. Thats about the only thing.....and even then, I know how powerful animal companions can be so it would have to be something good!

And even though Reciprocal Gyre has been nerfed somewhat, it is always fun to use against those persistent buffing types :)

Comparing a level 14 character with 2 level 10 characters is almost always going to result in the 14th level character coming out tops....

There are also the Shadow Hand maneuvers which allow you to do mini hops, if you go that route....as well as chakra binds (Blink Shirt).

Got the maneuvers sorted now: Crusader: Known (5) Readied (6/3) Stances (2) Stances: Leading the Charge, Iron Guards Glare Maneuvers: Mountain Hammer, tactical Strike, Crusaders Strike, Battle Leaders Charge, Stone Vise, White Raven Tactics, Divine Surge, Insightful Strike...

And don't forget. You're the DM. It's totally up to you to allow various things to come together how you want. If you think that they should be allowed to become a wizard with spontaneous casting of fire spells in return for the loss of their familiar, go for it!

This is what I went with in the end: Classes 1 Cleric Paladin of Tyranny 2 Cleric Swordsage 3 Cleric Paladin of Tyranny 4 Cleric Crusader 5 Cleric Warblade 6 RKV Vampire 7 RKV Vampire 8 RKV Vampire 9 RKV Vampire 10 RKV...

Wasn't there a ranger spell which did auto crit, or was that just with ranged attacks and in 3.0?

Say I wanted to improve my chances of critically hitting, is there a feat, spell or maneuver which either grants a definite critical hit or maximises my chances? Obviously Improved Critical and keen weapons help, but I thought that I recalled something from a while back. Thanks!

Yeah, it's a bit odd with RKV. It doesn't really add many feats/manouvers per level, and spellcasting progression is 8/10 rather than full. That has also been approved too though, so no complaints there. It would be an interesting thing to go for Crusader 1, Paladin 2, Dread Necromancer 8...

I know what you're saying Thanee, this is just the way the DM runs it.

I bet. I just wish I could focus myself to what I want. In an ideal world I'd end up with +16 BAB, good saves across the board, plus 17th level casting at least. Ideally I'd like to be able to put out some awesome damage at least a few times per day. I think the problem is that I see all these...
