    What metamagic feat can your Arcane caster not live without?

    yeah, I've seen the PrC (I have the book), and it would be great if the prereqs were a little less -- 2 wasted feats and cross-class skills... still, it does work with my idea, and I love the idea of wildshaping into bears ;) thanks for all the help guys! ps -- I really wish Complete Arcane...

    What metamagic feat can your Arcane caster not live without?

    OK, that's what it sounded like... I always did wonder where "splatbook" came from... what book is that in? does that allow any substitution, or do you have to pick an energy? I'm wondering, because I'm thinking about playing a sorceror type from a Mongoose Quint book, that is sort of a...

    Question about Gestalt campaign and racial levels

    I definitely think racial levels should be allowed :cool: However, my question would be what to do with any level adjustments... Does the character forfeit the first few levels on the racial side until he/she gets "caught up" with the correct ECL, or do you space out the extra levels (like in...

    OK -- sounds good to me! :cool:

    Dervish Dance, Spring Attack, Tumble, and AoOs

    so the "character" knows that in a few "levels" he'll be able to combine his 2 "feats"? I guess I try to be a little more realistic when putting together advanced (>1st level) characters...

    Dervish Dance, Spring Attack, Tumble, and AoOs

    why would a PC with Weapon Finesse use a Scimitar (and choose Weap Focus [Scimitar])? Shouldn't they be using a rapier? Obviously, once gaining a level in Dervish, both feats can be used together, but until then they can't... I was going to use a similar build, but I don't like the (apparent)...

    Wall of Ice Spell Use....

    could someone please tell me why people claim summoned creatures don't really die? I've heard this before, but I haven't read it anywhere (or I did and forgot). I kind of like the moral dilemna of how to treat your summoned creatures -- having them not die reduces them to mere fodder (which I...

    So tell me about the Book of Exalted Deeds in play

    I'm pretty sure its mentioned in the book -- I don't know if its a must, or a suggestion... As for the roleplaying aspect, its no different than having a Paladin in the group -- and technically the "Exalted" character is not necessarily lawful. The book gives a very good (IMO) explanation of...

    Thanks! I guess if I take the PrC I'll talk it over with my DM...

    Wildshape/healing

    Wildshaping is (mostly) like polymorphing, which allows: so my question is, what does "changing back does not heal the subject further" mean? Does this mean the the subjects gets hit points when they change from their normal shape into a new shape, but then no more hit points when they...
