So, using my example from above, a 5 rogue/10 assassin could successfully sneak attack an 11th level character (assuming the levels are in rogue,assassin, barbarian, etc.) with improved uncanny dodge while on the flank? That gets me thinking about a second question now. Uncanny dodge keeps...

D&D 3.5 I've checked over the internet a bit and haven't found the answer to my question, so I thought I'd pose it to the peeps on the board. I appreciate all the help on this. Improved Uncanny Dodge says that the character can't be flanked unless the ROGUE is at least 4 levels higher than...

I think the answer is yes and no to the question. The DMG for 3.5 only gives a cloak of resistance or a ring of protection, but whose to say you couldn't have a cloak of protection in place of a ring of protection. It doesn't HAVE to be enchanted on a ring only. Everything provided in the...

The cloak of protection is deflection bonus. The ring of protection is also a deflection bonus, I believe, which is why they don't go together. Although I think the cloak of protection technically doesn't exist in the 3.5 magic item world, but we only use those as "go-by's".

If that works I am all over that one. That would rock! I'll run that by him and see what he says. The explanation sounds good and I just did a little research and it seems true what you're saying. The shadow plane would fall in to the same category then, right?

Right now I have a +3 cloak of protection. Getting my hands on a +5 ring of protection does me little good. I could upgrade what I have, but the deflection to AC stuff gets REAL expensive. I currently have gloves of 2 dex. They don't stack, so I'd have to get a higher dex item, but those...

This is a really great suggestion on this. I think I'm gonna have to get the insight bonus to AC. I think if I can manage it around 30k I might be okay. I love the ring of blinking. It was the number one item I wanted when I started playing this character, but with teleporting being...

Wow. So many great responses. I'd love to have a ring of improved invisibility. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get my hands on one of them yet. Because of the story, teleporting is very dangerous in this campaign. There is roughly a 3% per level of the spell (Dimension door...

Very true on the fighting defensive gig. I can't really take a -4 to attack unless my back is against the wall. Right now creatures are hitting me easily, so fighting defensive would only help once I get my AC up more. Insight bonus? I'll take a look at that one. What other things give...

I'm obviously terrible about leaving stuff out. The chain mail is a +2 enchantment and also gives a +2 resistance as well. I think you're right about getting the most bang for the buck. I could jump from a +2 armor to a +4 and maybe do the +4 shield. That would give me a +7 to AC, which...

My fault on this one, but I forgot to mention that the Tome of Battle has been ruled out. Swordsage is a great class and it would give me more will, which is what I need and Shadow Blade is just awesome. Add in Assassin stance and you got something.

Cloak of Displacement isn't a bad idea I suppose. It gives a 1 in 5 miss chance, but I just plain don't want to get hit. I want to raise my AC

Hey everyone, I thought I'd throw a little dilemma out here that I've been having and see what you guys can come up with. I'm currently playing in a highly dangerous high powered campaign. My current AC is going to get my killed quick and I'm trying to find ways to increase it without...

Okay, going with the theory that you can use arcane fist as often as you have your stunning attempts in day... then you should be able to use it twice in a round with rapid stunning, right? After all, it lets you use an additional stunning attempt (or special attack) in a given round.

I appreciate the quick reply on this one. I don't know that I necessarily agree completely yet, so let's chat about this a little bit. Here is what the acrance fist says directly from the book: Beginning at 3rd level, an enlightened fist can spend one of her daily stunning attempts to cast...
