(this is all completely by memory and not using any books, so feel free to correct me) Or, with no ECL problems, you could be a barghest and get leadership, getting hundreds of extra HD from all those followers and cohorts that you eat. If you need a fly speed, give the thing the air element...

From the gnome description in the SRD (emphasis added): <<Once per day a gnome can use "Speak with Animals" [per the spell] as a spell-like ability to speak with a burrowing mammal (a badger, fox, rabbit, etc.). This ability is innate to gnomes. It has a duration of 1 minute (the gnome is...

Oooh...I wanna metamagic spell-like abilities...that way my gnome can 1500x extend his speak with animals and have it all day long! Woohoo!!

I believe that cosmopolitan says you can't use it on an exclusive skill...decipher script is bard/rogue only, which makes it an exclusive skill, so you can't take cosmopolitan with it. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

DMing is not about disallowing things. It's about creating a fun world for both you and your players, and in any human enterprise there must always be compromise. So allow your players to be evil. However, talk to them about how evil they want to be, why they want to be evil, what their...

Or anyone with use magic device, as has been mentioned before.. (use magic device is, by the way, by far the coolest and most useful skill out there, and I've gotten to the point that I max or nearly max it on every one of my characters that can get it)

If she used to be an arctic elf, you could always do what one of the players in my group has done and adapt the paraelementals from Manual of the Planes to the elemental savant class. We've got an ice elementalist in my group, and it seems to work fine. Take a look at the abilities of those...

For a little explanation of Iaijutsu.... It ONLY works when your opponent is flat-footed. This does not mean anything else. It does NOT work when they are simplay denied dex to AC, however it DOES work when they are flat-footed but still have their dex to AC. The only way that I know of to...

Wild shape is indeed spell-like... ..until you hit 6th level shifter :D :D :D :D :D :D

I'd definitely keep something good in con, since you don't get extra hp from wildshaping. Maybe try gnome...if you use the 3e stat mods for that race (grr...-2str, +2 con? that is SO WRONG!!!) the con will be a good bonus for hp, the str and small size won't matter much because you'll be...

Somehow, I don't see how being a 6th level caster and a 9th level caster are equal ;-) Yes, you do lose ability progression when taking the prereqs for the prc, and you are no longer as good at roguing or sor/wizing as a single classed character would be (and btw, the prereqs are 5 levels wiz...

Well...you do have 5th level casting ability, but you're no longer as good at being a rogue or a sor/wiz as you would have been otherwise, and especially in the case of spellcasting classes, having lower progression can really hinder a character. So that's why I figured it wouldn't be a bad...

I don't think it's in the srd, but there is a table in the dmg with 'baseline' character wealth based on starting level, i think its page 170-something...its on the bottom right corner of the page on the right side, and theres a picture of a floating female elven wizard wearing blue on the...

Actually, unless this has been officially changed, I don't think it is a typo. The reasoning behind this is that in the 5(+) levels of a spellcasting class that you need in order to take arcane trickster, you lose 3d6 worth of sneak attack progression. The class does have fairly sttep...

So, say my character likes to sleep with his blanket over his head...does this give him 100% concealment? Does this mean he can't be affected by nightmare? Or maybe he likes to sleep in a tent or something...also immune? I really don't think line of effect applies here. See the "discern...

No, but I can close and ready an action to smack him when he tries to cast a spell (so it doesn't matter if he's casting defensively) or run away or something, or also I can trip him or just smack him and use knockdown to send him to the ground, making sure that he stays right there in front of...

Wait a while for the dual wielding, and get a sun blade as soon as you can. They're bastard swords, which is what katanas are, and count as light weapons. This will let you use two katanas at -2/-2, and with improved crit and such you will be able to kill things real good. However, if you...

Oh, very true about the attacks from the other 3 people...forgot the situation we were talking about for a moment ;-) Even if the mage did happen to prepare a stilled/eschewed/whatevered hold monster spell, I still don't think he would have much of a chance to use it...pin is very fun, and...

While it may be true that higher level casters should have an easier time doing what they do, higher level fighters (or the half-ogre that I was talking about in the previous example, who hates mages and rushes straight through everyone (including blade barriers...which has become the enemy's...

Well...you do actually get your dex bonus when in a grapple, you just only get it against people you are grappling with (who are probably the people you need to worry about when it comes to attacks of opportunity while grappling). Personally, I wouldn't let someone cast defensively in a...
