    Combat Sleight of Hand

    This came up last night and it may effect a character concept I'm thinking of so I wanted to post it here. In the Slieght of hand skill description it says it's a dc 20 to lift an item off a person. There is an opposed spot check to see if the target notices, but as long as you make your...

    Is there a feat that...

    There is a PRC in complete Divine for a mage/druid that allows you to have a familiar/companion as one animal. There is also a feat on WotC website that allows any character to take a companion. I think you are just looking for ways to beef up a familiar though. Improved Familiar is the...

    How to challenge PC with arcane eye & arcane sight

    Here's how I see it going down: BBEG is a high level mage with Ninja/rogue henchman. Arcane Eyes see them waiting, Mage sees arcane eye. Party buffs and charges in. (Meanwhile mage casts passwall and sets a few delayed spell (Dispel Magic, Evards, Fireball are good choices). The party...

    Use Magic Device and Weapons of Legacy

    UMD does have a DC to emulate a class feature. I'd use that. He can also attune to the weapon and have the DC go down.

    Jump Attacks?

    I like the flavor of the jump attack Hong posted. I play a ninja too, and I have a +22 jump right now. I think that using a jump check to essentially fient an opponent would be way over powered in a Ninja, who gets sudden strike and +6 to jump all in the first few levels.

    Reducing Movement Penalties for Armor

    I think a forth level knight can wear medium (or Mithril heavy) amour without penality

    Making a different kind of wizard

    Are there any classes that support a Wisdom based Arcane Caster? That would be neat. If your DM is pretty lose consider that. Make him an arcane scout who uses his spells to track, see-invisible, enhance skills, and such. In combat, I'd have him be an archer. Keep in mind that point blank...

    Highest AC's

    My Level 4 knight is almost identical to the one Bagpuss posted (no shield specialization or ring of protection yet though). My Lvl 9 gestault Ninja/conjuror has an AC of 27 with mage armor, plus he is invisible 90% of the time, so there is a 50% miss chance. I would Peg the Character as...

    High AC, any flaws, suggestions?

    You could spend the XP and get some of the spells permeated. Also, consider spells that grant miss chance, not just AC. A 20% miss chance is just as good as a few of points of AC.

    High AC, any flaws, suggestions?

    Rod of Metamagic Extend. I don't think most of the buffs will last 24 h. Why not extend them and get the more mileage out them.

    Mr. Sees Everything

    Some Thoughts: There is a BO9S stance that gives scent. I think there is an Earth Sense feat that gives tremorsence, I would definately add a "Detect Magic at will" ability. Either permenented Arcane sight, Vexing Gaze feat, or I think there...

    Touch of Healing [Reserve] feat from Complete Champion Excerpt

    I am ok with the idea of the feat. I think as written it is too powerful. I hate the idea of always having to stock up on wands of CLW, but I think the Cleric can heal too much too fast with this feat. As is, if a Lvl 7 cleric can use a 4th lvl spell and heal 12 hp/round. Assuming an...

    Shield Bashing

    Am I reading this right? Agile shield bash replaces the penalties with -2/-2 TWF reduces the penalties by 2/6. If I add a+b I get the bonus being 0/+4 if you had both feats, and were playing as writen. Rue the Shield Bash!! Of course I don't think many DM's would allow that.

    Melee Wizards!

    Well... first off max out concentration. You'll be doing that all day.

    Skirmish and full attack

    There are also boots in the MIC that allow teleportation as a swift action x/day. Or take one level or Wizzard for the spell Slide, and get a rod of quicken. (ok, it's a bad idea)

    Psionically powered non psionic classed characters?

    Or.. Avoid the Wild Talent feat and just make your PC a psionic race. One PC I play with has Up the Walls as her level 1 feat. She has gotten out of so many mobility issues with that.

    How to design a Greek hoplite?

    I think what you need is the Lunging Strike feat from PHB2. Full round action, 1 strike, +5ft reach.

    Hexblade 101

    Some Great ideas! I have a Hexblade/Knight. Wierd combo I know, but I play him as a mocking swordsman. I love the intimidating strike + Curse combo. The former almost always makes my foe shaken, which means -2 to saves on the curse. Now BBEG is -4 to pretty much everything, and he's a...

    Need help selecting one spell.

    It's really to bad you can't take wall of force. Simply wall of the barbarians until there rage is over, then fight them. That would piss them off something fierce. The best spell I found for that situation is Waves of Fatigue, but I assume that's the one you already took.

    Mini Christmas Tree (now with pictures!)

    Blarg - Next year you should get a 10 foot tall tree and use your whole collection of minis, and maybe some dice too.
