    Need a PrC for a warrior that fights with a reach weapon.

    Weapon Master (in S&F and OA) EWM - as already suggested Knight Protector (gives bonus AoO's as well as a variety of other interesting benefits) Shadow Scout (if your ranger-type class offers favored enemies) Other than those, I would second what has already been said: feats are what you need...

    To build a Living Greyhawk elven archer

    I just found the wild runner - in RotW for anyone interested and at second level there is indeed an ability that grants a +6 dex. I am almost inlcined to ditch fighter all toghether now in favor of the wild runner. The fighter gets me the two bonus feats I am trying to figure out what to do...

    To build a Living Greyhawk elven archer

    I realize circumstances can be such that your planned out strategy can go awry within seconds. Having played RttToEE, I know that all too well. So, I think an archer that is versatile enough to handle himself in melee is the best option - so I'll take the 12 con. I also am going to ditch...

    To build a Living Greyhawk elven archer

    I do have the LGCS 4.2 but had not read the details thoroughly enough. I still can't find the part that says you have to sell your equipment, but I'll take your word for it. Incidentally, from someone in the know, how does it then work with equipment you gain while adventuring - in particular...

    To build a Living Greyhawk elven archer

    I never play my character like an idiot: if I am scouting I'll take full advantage of 100% cover/concealment to limit checks to Listen vs. M.S. rolls (to statistically limit the chance of botching a roll); if I have any inkling that there is a creature with blindsight I will always use cover to...

    To build a Living Greyhawk elven archer

    Did you include those favored enemies because they are what I listed or did I just get lucky with my selections? Regarding the 5' shuffle, I have never understood why if I am scouting I can't engineer the combat so that we start out much further away. If I have the archer scouting and he does...

    To make a body guard

    Ok, I am an idiot. Just read up on Total Defense - I think a few things changed in 3.5. You can't use Combat Expertise in conjunction with total defense and you can't take AoO's when using Total Defense. As this concept is geared around AoO's before the opponent reaches me, it doesn't work...

    To make a body guard

    Let's do the math - take my monk/paladin/fighter with his early level defensive feats (dodge, combat expertise). This means that I have to take the Int 13 point distribution. So, here goes: Base = 10 Dex = +2 Wis = +2 Dodge = +1 Combat Expertise - always max (let's assume 6th+ level since you...

    To build a Living Greyhawk elven archer

    I went for the 14 wis for two reasons: bonuses to skill checks and bonus spells. I would still like to get a periapt of wisdom and hopefully get bonus 3rd and 4th level spells. I see your point about dex 17 being useful at level 4 but to me it comes down to having a 10 con and 17 dex or 12...

    To build a Living Greyhawk elven archer

    I don't think I know about Wild Runner. Are you being sarcastic? I think enough people are emphasizing the 12 con that I may reduce my dex for it. See above about the woodelf, stat boosting items, and starting as a ranger.

    To build a Living Greyhawk elven archer

    I'll be playing this character at gencon in: Dark Deciet on Bright Sands, The Price of Power, Secrets of Tsojcanth, and Return to the Undercity. I may try and play him before August as well to perhaps gain a level. I am located in Charlottesville, VA - which places me in Geoff. I have not...

    To make a body guard

    Psionic feats would be great for this character concept except that they are restricted in Living Greyhawk. Otherwise, you are absolutely right, I'd take that feat in a heartbeat.

    To build a Living Greyhawk elven archer

    I was considering Far Shot, but with the awesome range on the bow and the phenominal spell access rangers get I couldn't see it really being worthwhile. Spells accomplish what the feat does just as well and if they are that far away my character is going to be hiding and with the distance can...

    To build a Living Greyhawk elven archer

    Ok, this is news to me - perhaps I need to go over the LGCS again. I was under the impression that upon gaining treasure from each adventure that after said adventure and the equipment was distributed, you could spend your available gold on whatever you wanted with the only limitation being the...

    To build a Living Greyhawk elven archer

    What does the arcane archer really get? 1. GMW with all arrows 2. Imbue Arrow 3. Seeker Arrow 4. Phase Arrow 5. Hail of Arrows 6. Arrow of Death I'll just buy magical arrows. Seeker is fairly useless with access to true strike - elimiinates concealment already. Really the only benefit is...

    To build a Living Greyhawk elven archer

    Why do I want a 12 con. I don't foresee my character in a lot of melee and I already have good F saves. If anything I just need an item that increases my base speed and/or Mobility. Don't forget, the main point of this character is a sniper. So I would generally be far away from foes (except...

    To make a body guard

    I could take Goad to get foes to attack me, but it seems kind of limited requiring a MEA. I can't go on full defense, I have to remain in their threatened area (meaning no AoO's), and it is not a free action.

    To make a body guard

    I can't take Devoted Defender because it is not 3.5. In Living Greyhawk, the only books allowed are PHB, DMG, MM, FB, Race series, and Complete series.

    I think your initial assessment of cost is way too pricey. The DMG lists how to determine price of an item. If you want the bonus of a stat boost item it generally costs bonus^2X1000 IIRC. In general to add the ability of an item to not take up an item slot doubles the cost, i.e...
