Orb of Cold Orb of Cold (Wizard 4) from Complete Arcane is a spell that I like a lot for my Arcane Trickster. Use it like this: Round 1, Win Initiative and sneak attack with Orb of Cold for d6/level ranged touch cold damage + sneak attack. Orb of Cold blinds your opponent for a round if he...

Why would anyone ever memorize Ray of Frost, when Acid Splash is an option? From the SRD - Ray of Frost Evocation [Cold] Level: Sor/Wiz 0 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Ray Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell...

The Feat "Action Surge" from the Ebberron book would do it. This would only work in an Ebberron campaign or other one that includes Action Points though.

Favored Souls are spontaneous divine spell casters that pick thier spells from the cleric list. My question is - consider spells like Holy Smite, which is a 4th level cleric spell in the Good domain, but not on the general cleric list. Should a good aligned Favored Soul who worships a diety...

Neat idea - I was thinking that feat would be a complete waste, just to get me to Spinning Halberd. I will definately look into armor spikes or any other way to put it to use.

Okay, the Vigor line of heal-over-time spells looks fantastic. They are in the Complete Divine, I had just not read them and thought about them enough before you pointed them out. I will definately make some changes to my build now that I have read the spells available in Complete Divine. I...

Favored Souls are only naturally proficient with Light and Medium armor. So, if I wanted to wear full plate, I would have to spend another feat on Heavy Armor proficiency. What book is the spell Vigor in? I am not familiar with this one. My DM is allowing Eberron, Complete Warrior, and...

The Complete Warrior has the rules for Weapon Style Feats. From memory here at work, Spinning Halberd Weapon Style Feat is - Requirements: Weapon Focus Halberd, Combat Reflexes, Two Weapon Fighting Benefit: When you full attack with a Halberd, you may take an extra bludgeoning attack with...

Well, since he is level 1 now I have him in a chain shirt. I would like to keep his base move at 30 if possible, so I would ultimately like to get him some magic elven chain or similar. With no shield and light (or maybe medium) armor, he won't have tremendous armor class. He does have a decent...

My gaming group is starting up a new Ebberon campaign, and my character concept is to play a Human Favored Soul devoted to Dol Arrah. I figured that I would throw my planned build out here and see if you all had any comments or suggestions. My rolls for this character were 17, 15, 14, 13, 11...

I believe that Halberd is not denoted as a reach weapon in the 3.5e Player's Handbook, although intuitively one would think that Halberds would work like other Polearms. A friend forwarded me an excellent 3.5e D&D excel spreadsheet character sheet (the one originally created by Dexter Lieu, and...
