No hoax, that one is from Dungeonscape which I think came out in February.

They did add the bonus when pinned or grappled in 3.5, but there should be something else.

And then there's Pearls of Power used to retain Domain spells.

I could see someone pusing to use this idea in conjunction with building towards one of the 2 new traps related prestige classes in Comp Scoundrel or Dungeonscape. That said, with such specialization I don't feel it would be particularly abusive.

Yeah, Quickened Enlarge Person + Divine Power isn't the best, it's just an example given leftover spells for say combat 3 or 4 in a given day. Creating Sequences that use domain slots is crucial in my opinion for the melee oriented clerics. Another less optimal approach is to take the healing...

A lot of a cleric meleers ability depends on how many higher level spells they can dedicate and how quickly they can get to and stay in melee. Being able to use Quicken or Persistent Spell is important, but if you aren't healing effectively those spell slots will get channeled. I recommend...

You might be thinking of the "True Necromancer" prestige class from Libris Mortis.

And your opponent is going to be +8 to atk.

Malconvoker?

There is Cold Focus and Greater Cold Focus from Frostburn. There are a few feats in the enviorment books that give various bonuses on a theme (bonus damage, extra caster level), but I'm only aware of cold have a bonus to the DC. Also there is Spell Focus: Lawful and Chaotic in Comp Div.

Basic ideas Divine Ward (PHb II) and Augment Healing (Comp Div) are great for combat healing. For Melee, Divine Vigor, at any level, and Extra Smite, starting at 6th (Comp War), are highly regarded. Then you need to decide if you want to use metamagic feats or not. Quicken Spell is very good...

If you don't want a brawny tripper, you could use a few levels of Factotum (Dungeonscape) The 3rd level Factotum ability "Brains over Brawn" allows a character to use intelligence for Str and Dex checks. That will work for trip, but not disarm. I can't remember if you can use an Inspiration...

Having played a Factotum, I think the "brians over brawn" ability is heartily welcome. I do think they could use some direct feat/PrCl support, but I think they should multi-class well as an Int class that acts as a super Expert. At the moment I only really see swashbuckler, but further...

As Whizbang_Dustyboots and Glyfair mentioned a 3.5 update of monsters from supplements like Fiend Folio would be a great idea along with Summon list expansion ideas (along with how to balance said list expansions)

Does anyone else wonder if there will be follow ups to the various compendiums? Also what other compendiums would you like to see? Naturally, the Rules and Magic Item Compendium will need to sell well and other titles would need to be announced and released (Feats?, Classes and Class options...

I would use racial paragons for those that want even more animal (or animal folklore) traits to keep others balanced at LA +0. Arcana Unearthed/Evolved did a brilliant job with this. WotC's Unearthed Arcana did a lesser job but in the same vein. Using existing races with no level adjustment...

Are you keeping them in animal form and granting intelligence or will they be humanoid-ized with opposable thumbs and bipedal movement? I played in a game where we mixed Polynesian flavor combined with a lot of Chronicles of Narnia for such a game.

My favorite part of the Factotum, having played it at DDXP this weekend, is the ability that lets one replace a Str or Dex check with their Int mod. This allowed me to make a pretty effective tripping and bullrushing character with intelligence. I grabbed my whip and had at it. I'm thinking of...

No, you take the highest bonus

I'm assuming this is 3.5 no 3.0? There are 3 main choices that will be bandied about: Peerless Archer (FR: Silver Marches- 3.0) Deepwoods Sniper (Masters of the Wild 3.0 --> Complete Warrior?) Order of the Bow Initiate (Blood & Fist 3.0 --> Complete Warrior) Technically, you could also have...
