Check the pages about prestigious bards and such again. http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/prestigiousCharacterClasses.htm has the "Unique Spells" section shown clearer, but it's also there in Unearthed Arcana on the bottom of page 71. Unless the DM is being a [insert favorite insult...

One of the big rules of casters is "Don't lose Caster Level unless you get something REALLY worthwhile." The higher your spell level the better, especially when it comes to the generally Save or Suck/Lose spells beguilers tend to pull out. Also check with your DM on how he's handling gestalt...

Slight nitpick on this: Only a single AoO perr character can be made for a given provoked opportunity. However, if the opponent does some actions that each provoke an AoO then the character is entitled to however many AoO's are doable based on their feats and such. The feats and opportunities...

Some clarifications: Sword of the Arcane Order simply allows a paladin (or ranger) to cast wizard spells using the paladin's spell slots. It does not replace the paladin's actual spell list. The feat was obviously not written with Prestige Paladin in mind. Then again, a lot of the things in...

Be glad your DM hasn't done multiclass penalties. Many useful and interesting (but not necessarily overpowered) builds require multiclassing that would normally screw your experience gains. But yes, it does exist in the 3.0 and 3.5 rules and it's in the PHB. I think part of why it exists is...

Mindbender is a prestige class for arcane casters in Complete Arcane on page 54, not a psionic class. It does suggest an adaptation for psionics though, so maybe that's where you got things mixed up? As far as taking more than 1 level in mindbender, the absolute most I'd probably do is 3 since...

You might want to look into the Heroes of Battle book for some rules and guidelines for doing large scale battles, if that might be a thing. It also has rules for dealing with war and victory conditions and such. If the party has a caster that can use Hide From Undead, then you'll likely have...

About the only way I know of to get proper large size full time without LA or racial HD is through making an Enlarge Person spell permanent on you. If you do that you're going to be at risk for getting it Dispelled, so it's not really worth it. The only LA 0 races/creatures I know of that are...

ToB's stances and maneuvers are mostly balanced between themselves. Don't bother adding "real world physics" to the various stances since the game will suffer for it. It's a fantasy game; let it be a fantasy where our usual physics don't always apply. To give an example of that, it's possible...

Have you looked at the environmental books for 3.5? Cityscape, Dungeonscape, Frostburn, Sandstorm, and Stormwrack all have environmental rules for the area the book generally covers. It's sounding like your most pressing issues are covered in Frostburn and Sandstorm.

The catch with Empower Spell is that it gives an example: An Empowered Magic Missile does (1d4+1)*1.5 damage, as the example "For example, an empowered magic missile deals 1-1/2 times its normal damage (roll 1d4+1 and multiply the result by 1-1/2 for each missile)." shows. Going by the...

The spell you want is Revive Outsider from the Spell Compendium, page 175. Or Manual of the Planes, page 38.

Rath has it perfectly. The original rules were that armor and weapons don't resize. Part of that is they were envisioned to be the most significant items for most characters. Another part is that the materials the armor and weapons are made from can be valuable in their own right and have...

So the scenario you have is that two characters have Robilar's, but one has Sidestep, so the following situation would go: Character A makes a normal attack against Character B (hereafter just A and B for brevity). B can make an AoO once A's attack is resolved. At this point, A could make its...

The order things happen is pretty clearly stated by the feats' rules. Your opponent makes an attack, and then you make an attack, and after you have made your attack you can take a 5FS. Keep in mind the possibility of a loop regarding Robilar's Gambit though. If two characters with the feat...

The Sizing weapon enhancement in the Magic Item Compendium on page 43 is a flat 5,000 gold. It is a command activation enhancement that's a swift action to use and will change the weapon's size into any size until another swift action is used to change it, or its ability gets suppressed by...

About the only way you'll be doing dex damage through a weapon is with Spell Storing or a channel ability like the Duskblade (PHB2 base class) or Spellsword's (Complete Warrior PrC) and then channel a spell like Shivering Touch. Or if you're able to do some homebrew, modifying the Wounding...

Who says the creature has to have a humanoid shape to take class levels? The monster entries specifically call out several such as the unicorn with cleric levels. It's even wearing bracers of armor. Regarding the OP: Elephants are very intelligent and are even self-aware. It seems possible...

A Bane weapon doesn't necessarily mean there's any racism or hatred going on any more than a ranger's Favored Enemy would show. For example, a hunter type character might choose animals is one of his favored enemies because that's the most practical thing to do. Likewise, a constable type...

3 int is the cutoff point. Something to note is the entry for half-orcs specifically says that even if their int penalty would put them below 3 after rolling and such, their int score is nevertheless 3 because that's the bare minimum for taking class levels, though I don't know of any place...
