Also most buff spells on a target end/become nonfunctional (its kinda iffy) when the target dies.

I believe Nifft is correct in that the hybrid feats give progress of an ability to another class, thus the rule of taking the greater progression applies, but since they have the same its tricker.

Marshal / Bard Marshal / Sorcerer Both provide excellent support characters that still can hold their own in combat.

Boots of Speed would be a good upgrade. While you would lose 10ft all the time, you would have 30ft for 10 rounds a day. Often 10 rounds can cover a days worth of combat, and in addition to the speed you gain +1 hit, +1 AC, +1 reflex, and +1 speed attack. Nice combination of offense and defense.

While that gives you 15ft reach, to get the full room grooving. Changling + 2 Warshaper + Potion of Enlarge Person + Aberrant Reach + Spiked Chain = 40ft.

Since it is not against the RAW of exalted, it comes down to how/why the character is exalted. While you might have one idea in your head of what exalted is, there are plenty of examples of exalted characters that run the gambit of personalities. So long as she doesn't break with her fluff as...

I do not believe that subbing a skill for another check to be unbalancing given the limitations placed on strikes and counters, and the opportunity cost to use it. Limitations- 1 use per combat without expending actions Costs- 1 Maneuver known Skill points Uses an action to use By investing...

It functions off of Improved Grab, not Improved Grapple. This still limits when it can be used, but the forms with Improved Grab tend to be the better options for combat. If you can manage getting Improved Grapple.... that is just icing on the cake.

Armor of the Crocodile is awsome. I am curious why you are not considering the grapple ability. A +4 on your grapple checks and a constrict it is a pretty solid ability.

Interestingly, if the creature with the feats is larger than the target he can threaten a flanking position and be in the flank without having cover. You do this across a diagonal of the creature. It requires the larger creature to align one of his sides with the smaller creatures sides (unless...

I missed that the first time I read though. I am not certain a spiked gauntlet would work since your hand with the gauntlet is busy with the reach weapon, since to wield the reach weapon (and thus threaten with it) you have to use both hands. IUS, and armor spikes work since they are do not...

You would have to do this with a spiked chain, since with any other reach weapons you would not threaten the square directly next to you. With a normal reach weapon you wouldn't threaten the M square.

The classes don't suggest a particular combination, so the question becomes how much of the bard abilities do you want and how much of the cleric/fs/healer. I like the idea of going 1 level of bard with the alternate class feature(replace one of the low level songs) that lets you apply your...

So instead of building a TWF you build a spiked chain whirlwind fighter with tweaked reach. By using spells to amp your damage you get over the normal limitation of whirlwind (hitting and doing significant damage)

I have always found the cleric class pretty flexible to fit most divine ideas that I have. Remember that just because a class gives access to heavy armor does not mean it is the best option in all cases. Most clerics of Olidammara that I have seen do use light armors. They do this by having a...

The Complete Warrior class that was mentioned is called Warchanter. Its main requirements are Combat Expertise and Weapon Focus. It stacks for bardic music (and i think it may continue advancing you Inspire Courage). It gives some amazing combat songs and the ability to have two songs up at...

That completely ignores half of the effect of Vampiric Touch. Of course its not going to do as much damage, because you gain all that damage as temporary hit points.

Save vs Touch is a matter of encounter as I mentioned earlier. Not all bad guys have good reflex saves and not all bad guys have terrible touch ACs. Not to mention that if you can hit two enemies and both save you are still doing the same amount of damage. If you can get more enemies or some...

An interesting example to look at would be the Troll Hunter entry in the MMI. It shows using manufactured weapons with natural weapons.
