    No Pain, No Gain

    I suppose if I go Cleric/Crusader/PrC Pally I can get both Blade of Blood and Divine Sacrifice. I think that could work for me. Thanks for the suggestions. I also pretty regularly use Viscious, being a primarily Cleric player. It's amazing how many problems can be solved by just playing a Cleric.

    Keeping Your Mount Alive

    Well, the class feature specifically states that it is a Heavy Warhorse or Warpony. Plus, it seems rather over the top having some other random magical beast, especially since the Skeletal Steed will eventually get bonuses like a paladin's mount. On that topic, the entry in the Skeletal Steed...

    Keeping Your Mount Alive

    So is there any way to defend your mount while you're on it? Anything that lets me penalize something for attacking my mount would be good. For our last encounter my mount was almost killed, but I didn't take a single point of damage. I should mention that I'm a Cleric that has just taken 1...

    Keeping Your Mount Alive

    So, I've been using mounted combat recently. I don't have nay mounted combat feats, but I got a warhorse and 9 ranks in ride+military saddle. This allows me to move and attack when mounted and usually use my ride skill to gain a cover bonus. As I have become rather hard to hit, my DM has...

    Blackguard and Paladin of Tyranny

    Yes, that seems about right, I was just experimenting with a cohort that works as a save reducer for my spells. I've already got Improved Bind Vestige for Focalar (-2 to saves 5ft out) and Paladin of Tyranny for another -2 10ft out.

    Blackguard and Paladin of Tyranny

    Alright, I was not sure if being untyped was enough to make it stack.

    Blackguard and Paladin of Tyranny

    Both the Paladin of Tyranny and the Blackguard have the Aura of Despair ability. Unlike the Wis to AC ability that appears on monk, swordsage, and ninja, this penalty is untyped. If I multiclass between the 2, do both instances of Aura of Despair stack? Also, do Paladin of Tyrrany levels count...

    Clerical spells and sneak attacks

    Darkfire Level 3 for 1 round/level you can make a ranged touch attack that deals 1d6/2CL as a standard action. It doesn't emit light, but creatures with darkvision can see it as a normal fire. It's like mini eldritch blast.

    Armor (or weapon) Templates

    The DMG II for 3.X has a section on templates for magic armor and weapons; this selection is rather limited. I was wondring if anyone know of any other wizards official sources that would contain additional templates? Thank you.

    Gaining Evasion Class Feature

    I'm in a low-magic campaign and I'm playing a Fighter 5/Dervish 9 and I want to get some Nightsong Enforcer levels in there, since Dervish Dance is a great way to set up a sneak attack and Agility Training has great synergy with tumbling past enemies. What I'm looking for is a class that isn't...

    Corpsecrafter Feats

    I think you're right Persiflage.

    Corpsecrafter Feats

    I assumed as much for corpsecrafter, I guess it just paled in comparison to other single-companion abilities. I think what I am trying to go for is the undead equivalent of an animal companion. Is there some version of that? Or perhaps a necromantic druid? I also vaguely remeber a feat that...

    Corpsecrafter Feats

    I'm considering various necromantic-type classes and I'm not sure which feats are the most useful. How useful is the corpsecrafter chain? And, I'm not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but does corpsecrafter add the +4 strength for each hit die? I ask because I don't really want a large army...

    Salvaging a Friend's Rogue

    I have given him the specs for Swashbuckler along with daring outlaw. The DM won't have problems with a few switches in stats/feats, as long as his character isn't completely changed. He's still somewhat skeptical and wants to go for assassin. I've done all that I can, Thank you all for the help.

    Salvaging a Friend's Rogue

    I have always wondered how ranged rogues are useful. Unless I'm reading SA incorrectly, don't you only get it if the enemy is flat-footed or you're the one creating a flanking situation? How does one achieve that from a distance?
