    Mageslayer and invisible opponents

    I don't think this is RAW, but there is a common sense approach with how to handle this feat: there is no reason a caster would know that he can or cannot cast defensively (not unless he has gone up against a mageslayer in the past and then you demonstrate with your ability or he has...

    Dual Wand Weilder

    I have an NPC that can get off 3 spells a round. IIRC, I think what he does is dual wand wields to cast 2 spells from wands with a full round action and then uses quicken spell to cast a 3rd spell from his spell list as a swift action. I want to say that there was a way to quicken a spell cast...

    Grapple- with a grappling hook!

    I have no basis for this ruling, it just comes from common sense and experience: roll ranged touch attack with improvised weapon that has a +2 circumstances bonus to the attack (come on - grappling hook into a skeleton, that has to be the easiest latching onto I've ever heard of with that rib...

    Tweak a crippling rogue

    What is the best way to build a rogue with crippling strike? I was thinking that some combination of: Crippling Strike Resounding Blow Staggering Strike Deathblow The above combined with a spellsword's ability or a spellstoring weapon could really get quite nasty. Thoughts?

    OMG: The Core Cleric

    I would like to point out a few nuances that I think most people miss. The cleric is not the most powerful standalone core class. That role hands down goes to the wizard. A cleric by himself would get hosed by almost any encounter - they have no ability to spot, move slowly and if they have a...

    Building a Desert-themed Cleric - Need Suggestions

    Sorry, Forgot a few more things. For a lightly armored high Wis chr, a monk's belt is invaluable. Instead of armor wear bracers of armor and a monk's belt and you might find that your AC is even better than it would have been with full plate on. I would not focus on any feats that give you...

    Building a Desert-themed Cleric - Need Suggestions

    It has been suggested once, but the Radiant Servant of Pelor is hands down what you want: hands down. You said you wanted healing and turning. That IS Pelor. Free empowered healings are RIDICULOUSLY good and with a high Charisma any undead you face will be destroyed (you'll have so many...

    Highest possible bonuses

    Also, you could just get an animated tower shield then get all the bonuses. Also, when I said dual wield, you don't necessarily have to consider that to be two weapons in each hand. It could be one weapon in one hand and then armor spikes or something like that.

    Highest possible bonuses

    Yeah, you are right, missed the fighter type character. Ok, so let's assume core only full BAB classes/PrC's only then. For AC, I'd go your route adding on two defending weapons for another +10, except I'd say probably the highest AC would come from wearing a mithril breast plate while...

    Highest possible bonuses

    I actually think the highest possible AC comes from the Monk. As long as his wisdom is over 20, the combination of the unarmored AC bonus from wisdom stacked with bracers of armor +8 is better than full plate. With core only and assuming maxed stats: Halfling Monk 20 with Monk's belt...

    Is this build correct?

    Opponents/allies is an arbitrary distinction. I decide who my opponent is. If the RAW require you to overrun only opponents, then for the purposes of charging, my friend might be my opponent during that action. Of course the errata trumps the whole thing - but in the games I both play and DM...

    Is this build correct?

    Check out ToB:Bo9S's. There are a few maneuvers that are really useful for charging. IDHMBWM, but IIRC, there is a maneuver that allows you to ignore movement penalties for rough terrain - that is extremely useful. Also, the charging through your friend's space rule is absolutely...

    Any WotC feats to allow Bull Rush as part of an attack?

    Good abilities: improvements to charging attack and damage improvement to mobility while charging (jumping, turns, terrain) combining overruning/trampling with charging improvements to bullrushing itself piggybacking attacks onto bullrushing or vice-a-versa. The best abilities/classes/feats I...

    Power selection for Shadowmind

    Oh, forgot to mention, pretty much any WotC product is available for power selection (and despite the list I proposed, I am open to all suggestions).

    Need a good melee char-must be old!

    I am picturing Campbell from Braveheart (Wallace's friend's father) for your character. I like to envision the character first and then work out the stats to fit the image. IIRC, the penalties for aging are this, -1 str/dex/con, +1 int/wis/chr for middle aged, cumultive -2 str/dex/con, +1...

    Power selection for Shadowmind

    I am looking for suggestions on powers to take with my next Shadowmind class level. I was thinking of selecting among: Conceal Thoughts Control Flames Demoralize Disable Empty Mind Entangling Ectoplasm Grease, Psionic Mind Thrust Swarm of Crystals Psionic Blast Shared Pain, Forced Touchsight...

    The Dream Walker Prestige Class

    I received the penumbra Occult Lore book and the onemancer looks all right. Its not exactly what I originally had in mind, but I like the simplicity of their mechanics as well as the way they are streamlined across all classes. I am the DM and have dream planes contingent upon dreamers...

    Werespiders?

    You might check out some of the FR supplements. I am almost positive that there is some manner of arachnid hybrid out there (although potentially not exactly were-spiders).
