The character is for a short adventure, and there will only be three PCs, so my barbarian would essentially be the front line. I believe one of the players is planning a Druid, and I don't know about the third guy. I'm strongly considering making it a Minotaur (ECL 8 from LA +2 and 6HD)./ The...

Just in case you're asking because of A Thousand Faces - that ability was changed substantially in the official errata early this year.

I've always thought the "in a straight line" bit was lame too. I would house-rule something to the effect of using more movement to make turns - maybe 10ft for a diagonal, 20ft for a right hand turn. That more accurately captures the slow downs needed, but allows players to run whereever, just...

This particular spell/tactic would be made much easier if you cast it using a party member (with Electrical Immunity/Resistance) as one end of the arc - no need for minions. Regardless, there's other spells that can pack a whallop. Also, to the point about party members being able to deal...

Really? What about if they're trying to hit someone you're grappling with, or attacking the swarm on you? Don't those involve miss chances that can result in your ally hitting you instead?

Well it might seem strange, but otherwise you have clerics/druids walking around with either no weapon, or no shield. Hmm - just off the top of my head - can a character use two shields instead of shield/weapon? And what would that do to this discussion - could you hold one light shield with...

Ok, after lots of re-examination and with all your wonderful input, here's what I've got: Name: Vale Thunderright Class: Favoured Soul/Paladin 8 Race: Human Size: M Gender: M Alignment: LG Deity: Heironeous Str: 16 +3 Level: 8 XP: 28000 Dex: 12 +1 BAB: +8 HP: 7d10+26...

Very good point about Keen - I had already removed it due to someone's Bless Weapon comment, but you raise a good alternative with Ghost Touch. I'll post a reworked copy tonight.

Good ideas - keep 'em coming. :-) I'm strongly considering Divine Metamagic Persistent Spell in order to cast Visage of the Diety, Lesser daily. +4 CHA and three energy resistences 10 - not bad. Then I can change my Favoured Soul energy resistence to a fourth, which leads me to a question...

Hmm...I think I need a definition of "fixed range". I thought it referred to a static area of effect, as opposed to any spell that had a set distance limit from which you could cast it.

I'm considering the Divine Metamagic option since I have a bundle of more feats to select... I assume that Favoured Soul spells are considered spontaneous, right? (Even though that word appears nowhere in the character description) I just want to rule out Quicken Spell as an option...

Well, it's a character for a one-off that figures to be fairly dark and demonic - so I don't think Diplomacy will serve me that well. On the healing side, again it's a one-off, so I'm assuming that Lay On Hands (48hp/day), the CMW wand, and the Sacred Healing feat will carry us through. The DM...

I'm against this - to me stat requirements are before any conditional or temporary bonuses, whether conditional on wearing an item, or temporary from a spell.

Shielded Casting (Races of Stone): Prereqs: Concentration 5 ranks, Combat Casting, Shield Proficiency Benefit: As long as you have a shield ready, you do not provoke attacks of opportunity for casting spells in combat.

Both good suggestions. I had chosen Restoration, Lesser for the Paladin spells because I didn't put any Restoration on the Favoured Soul list (mistake above - only 3 supposed to be known). I'll consider a different weapon enhancement (other than Keen) in order to help decide if I should pick...

Good question. I'd have to invest in Power Attack first to get Divine Might. Since the adventure is likely to be quite dark and demonic (read: Evil), I'm figuring that Extra Smiting will have almost the same impact. 4 times vs. 9 (if I used all the turning attempts for Divine Might - not...

Ok, here is what I have. It is a 40 point buy for abilities, both level bonuses (4 and 8) went into CHA. By following the advice about spell choice, I was able to leave WIS just high enough to get an extra Paladin 1st level spell. The bold parts I'm not 100% decided on, and I'm not 100%...

Next weekend I'm flying back to Vancouver for a company Xmas party, and while there I'll be hooking up with my old gaming group for a one-shot adventure. The DM has instructed us to make 8th level Gestalt characters. I volunteered to be the party healer again*, and the DM has said "There will...

Wildshaping goes not give regular feats (only bonus ones), so I have to reduce the Dire Tiger's damage as per the Improved Natural Attack (claw). The question is - what is the next step down from 2d4? 2d4 is not listed as part of the progression in the feat description. I would hazard to...

I'm a newcomer, but a big thanks to all those mentioned already. In addition, a special thanks to Eric's Grandma, whose influence helps keep this place clean. :)
