Acquire the lich template, it will remove the whole roadblock that is death. Beyond that, perhaps a Wish spell would work, since in a RP sense, it is actual communication with your god. Although Ur-Priests can siphon powers from dieties, this particular spell seems to be less of a "sneak in...

The Ordained Champion from Complete Champion is pretty nice. It gains 3/5 spell progression, a bonus domain (War if you don't already have it, otherwise any one you want), and the ability to spontaneously cast War domain spells as swift actions. Or you can take Contemplative from Complete...

I'm assuming that the other people will naturally gravitate towards spellcasters as well, so evasion will be useful. Although it may be a better idea to focus his feats completely toward spellcasting rather than what I had originally suggested.

Human - LE - Monk 6(PHB)/ Ur-Priest 10(Book of Vile Darkness) Focus Wis for high AC and bonus spells. 10th level Ur-Priest can cast 9th level spells. Feats: Human Feat: Dodge (PHB) L1 Feat: Mobility (PHB) Monk Bonus Feat L1: Stunning Fist (PHB) Monk Bonus Feat L2: Combat Reflexes (PHB) L3...

That's an excelent point on the RP aspects. I may play this for that alone.

I recommend a Warblade from Tome of Battle. It had a d12 hit die and it learns martial combat maneuvers that are basically melee spells (things like throwing enemies, counter attacks as immediate actions, etc). Also, for feats the Warblade can count his class level as a fighter of 2 levels...

Ah, I confused the requirements for ED with that of Eldritch Theurge, which results in a requirement of level 3 Warlock. And I was thinking of high charisma to make use of the abilities that allow expenditure of turn undead, but I can just take Extra Turning for that. While I can see Binder...

I am making one last attempt at playing a Warlock that does something useful. I plan to play Cleric 3/Warlock 3/Eldritch Disciple X. My questions are: Are there any Cleric variants that give bonuses while restricting you to light armor other than Cloistered Cleric? Is there a Cleric-like...

I suspected as much, I just hoped that there was some esoteric little rule somewhere out there that let this happen. Thank you for the confirmation.

Is it possible to use the "+1 level of existing class" spellcasting progression to increase the progression of a PrC that progresses multiple types of spellcasting? For example: I am a Wizard 4/Cleric 4/Mystic Theurge 2 (ECL 10). From ECL 10-11 I wish to train as a Spellsword. Can I use the...

There's the Practiced Caster feat from Complete Arcane/Divine that increases caster level for one class by 4, up to your max hit dice. This is designed so that multiclassing doesn't screw over mages too much.

Thank you, both. I can't believe I missed it in CM.

I have been looking for a variant rule that I have seen which allows Wizards to specialize even further by sacrificing another school. This is similar to the Red Wizard's ability, Enhanced Specialization. The result is one less general spell slot and two additional specialist school spell...

Just lending a bit of experience in playing Wrlock to this discussion: I've been trying to build a good/interesting warlock (I've started a few threads about it) and as far as I can tell the infinite spells are not incredibly useful except at very early levels. It's almost better to play a...

The spell's description requires something along the lines of "...the deceased's time and place of birth or death..." This indicates that there is some sort of connection between body and soul. Just because you don't need to cast the spell on the remains doesn't mean that they're not used...

Undead and undeath aren't alwys inherently evil, even in the D&D universe. Here's some food for thought, the Baelnorn or a good-aligned lich: Baelnorn lich - The Forgotten Realms Wiki - Books, races, classes, and more

In spite of the fact that I have the Deathbound domain, my DM has expressed a desire for me to keep my army small. This is the aftermath of him setting 3 raptors on me alone at level 5 and my killing and reviving them all and breaking a large portion of the last campaign we played. The...

What i'm getting from this, along with the research that I've done myself, is that I'm better off with a wizard with the spellcasting prodigy and improved specialization features rather than a warlock. That class always seems to fall short, I might force it anyway. Thanks for the advice...

I considered that, but that goes for firepower rather than manipulation/attrition. My DM favors long battles and intense dungeon crawls. Also, I don't like it for the flavor aspect of the character I wish to play, but that's almost immaterial. But thank you anyway for the idea.

I'm designing a Warlock character that will be the debuffer/general causer of havok. I'm going to take a few levels of Warlock, a few levels of an Incarnum class, and then Soulcaster to finish it out. I am aware that technically, Warlock does not meet prereq, I'm hoping my DM will overlook it if...
