You could also check out the Aspect of the Dragon Alternate Class feature from Dragon Magic. Gives access to 5 different abilities, at 5th lv you can take on one aspect at a time, 2 at 8th, 3 at 11th and 4 at 15th. You get as many uses per day as wildshape but they only last one hour. One...

Wow, so much stuff and not enough time to read it all. Keep up the good work folks, the epic magic really needed something done to it to make it more useable.

Don't take Combat Casting unless it is required for a PrC. Skill Focus: Concentration gets you a +3 bonus to ALL Concentration checks instead of just checks to cast defensively. Combat Casting is a waste of a feat.

Most of the druidic divination spells are pretty vague. Stone Tell, Speak with Plants, and Commune with Nature are all pretty sparse. How much information can a rock or a plant tell you? How much information are you supposed to be able to glean from these spells. Stone Tell really seems...

Augument Elemental from Magic of Eberron is another good feat for druids who like to summon. Requires 2 ranks in Knowledge (the planes), Grants elementals +2 enhancement bonus to hit and damage and temporary hp = to 2xHD. Very beefy Earth Elementals are possible with this feat.

I misread the thread title as 3.5 books, I have about 35 WotC 3.5 books and about 20 3.0 products. I'm not sure how many DDM's I have but my collection has grown quite a bit due to WotDQ, all those boxes and still no Bluespawn Dragonslayers!

I think the bonuses from Shapeshift stack up pretty well to Wild Shape until you get to Elemental Shape, where Wild Shape has the clear advantage. Shapeshift druids will have less raw strength than a WS druid, but they make up for it by getting a free +1 enhancement bonus to hit and damage per...

If your spellcasters know they are going up against constructs preparing a lot of buffing spells for the melee characters can really help. Haste and Displacement can really help up your friends damage and survivability. Wall of Force can hopefully divide up the enemies into more manageable groups.

I don't know why everyone is up in arms about the Adepts, the maneuvers help bring the marital classes up to some of the abilities of a spellcaster. As D&D currently stands fighters require quite a lot of magic to stay competive with the spellcasters and monsters you encounter at higher levels...

The druid still gets access to Water Breathing and Freedom of Movement. If you add in Spell Compendium spells the druids underwater capabilities go though the roof. I think it would be cool to have a feat or two that open up new forms to fill the aquatic gap for those who want it. I'm...

The problem with a pure psionics setting is going to come down to healing. No class heals as well as the cleric and psionic forms of healing are few and far between. I can see that making encounters tough to balance. Though the availability of Vigor to nearly every psionic class could help a...

I'd love to play Friday if there is a slot left, or get put on the waiting list.

The Beguiler really falls into a support/skill use role. They won't ever be the one dealing gobs of damage to the bad guys, but they can make the bad guys go down oh so easy. Color Spray, Glitterdust, Slow, Haste, Displacement, Silence, and Dispel Magic are all amazing spells that can really...

I'm playing the Shapeshift druid in ForceUser's game. I've played about 6-8 sessions with the character and so far I'm happy with Shapeshift. I think the lack of an aquatic form and a climbling form was intentional. Druids are given all kinds of movement spells; spider climb, water breathing...

I'm the player of the druid in ForceUsers game. I really like Shapeshift. I think a lot of the naysayers are over looking that you gain a +1 per 4 lvs bonus to hit and damage and can go through DR/Magic at 4th lv. That is like casting 3 Greater Magic Weapon spells on yourself at lvs 8+. Plus...

Simply spending more skill points can't get you into the PrC any quicker, you still have to follow the required ranks for the class. 13 Ranks for Knowledge (arcana) and Listen mean you can't take your first Sublime Chord level till lv 11. Rng1/Brd9 should work fine. Rng1/Brd8/Spellsword1...

As yet another player in ForceUser's game, I wouldn't have a problem with a sorcerer gaining access to healing spells if they were exalted. They still are making the choice to take a healing spell vs an arcane spell. I also wouldn't worry too much about campaign consistency since one exalted...

I'm playing the 4th lv Spirit Shaman in ForceUsers game. I think the spirit shaman is pretty good, but you have to pick your daily spells very carefully so you don't end up useless in certain encounters. For example one day I picked Heat Metal as my one second level spell. We ended up...

I'd love to play in the Thursday afternoon game if there is still room available. Though I may have to leave a little early to make a 6 PM Living Death game.

The extreme explorer from Eberron gains evasion at lv 2 I believe. The FL is tough to get into using only the core classes. You could also go ranger 9/Bard 2 or something like that for a more combat ready FL character.
