All that aside for the moment, I've been working up some of the basics of making this a full-fledged 20-level class. Some musings: Spells Vs. Traps: For the most part, I'm actually opting for spells on this, though I'm considering something akin to the arcane channeling special ability from...

One of the Sword & Sorcery Ravenloft books for 3.5 had the werepanther. And there's likely the werebadger to be extrapolated from Azrael's stats in Sithicus.

I understand how Travel Devotion works. I just feel leery about a feat that probably would need to be taken more than once (unless you're a cleric or paladin with the ability to turn/rebuke undead), especially given how limited the selection of feats would be to begin with. It wouldn't be so...

Because the game is heavily slanted in favor of melee, I suppose. Ranged combat (unless you're an arcanist of some sort, whether sorcerer/warlock/warmage/wizard/whatever) tends to be seriously less powerful than melee combatants -- TWF doesn't give near the penalties to attacks that Manyshot...

Ugh. That sucks, then, because Rapid Shot is nowhere near being able to emulate what the Demon Hunter can do. That makes two-weapon fighting sub-optimal for a skirmishing type, let alone a ranged skirmisher, if you can only emulate it through lack of movement and full-round actions (and be...

Well, I already would be: Manyshot requires Dex 17, Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot and BAB +6, while Greater Manyshot requires Dex 17, Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, Manyshot and BAB +6. Rapid Shot is almost a wasted feat in trying to build up to something like what I'm envisioning, though: it...

After seeing the trailer for the Diablo 3 Demon Hunter, I've been wondering just how something like that would work mechanically from 3.5 -- I'm leaning towards a Ranger/Scout multiclass with the Swift Hunter feat from Complete Scoundrel; alternatively, perhaps a hybrid version based on the...

I humbly put forth a tried-and-true favorite: AD&D (yep, Second Edition) Complete Book of Necromancers. Admittedly, it's a completely different system; however, it has three kits that you both may want to look at. If nothing else, it'll give you some intriguing new ideas (and part of it, at...

Feats? I don't think so, at least not at non-epic levels, unless you house-rule Practiced Spellcaster to work in that fashion for the Warlock. That, or show your DM the gestalt rules in Unearthed Arcana and see if your DM will allow you to make gestalt characters.

Complete Warrior does say something about it -- also has Improved Weapon Familiarity as a listed feat in the book. Cool deal. Thanks guys.

I'd forgotten about the Tome of Battle -- of the three, Swordsage is easily the most versatile and capable, even though they have only the mid-range BAB.

Huh, okay. Reason I was asking was because I thought I'd seen something in one of the books about how a weapon that has a racial element (like the elven thinblade, or the dwarven urgosh) could be learned as a Martial Weapon Proficiency by that race, rather than as an Exotic Weapon Proficiency...

Having played a changeling before, they have a number of things going for them. Class-wise... Warlock, for what it's worth, is a good one. Not a dedicated caster, but nice ranged support (and some invocations, like Vitriolic Blast for acid damage and bypassing SR on the eldritch blast, are...

I'm having trouble trying to find the rules and such for how racial weapons are handled for all races. I know some races have Weapon Familiarity (like the Dwarves and Gnomes). Specifically, I want to be certain as to whether the elven lightblades/thinblades/courtblades are considered racial...

If you're still looking for another player or two, I might be interested in making up a character. Thankfully I have Power of the Jedi and Dark Side Sourcebook both, so I may toy with that. If not, that's cool. I'm pretty much assured of being able to post daily.

Hmm... didn't know Greater Manyshot could be that handy. I guess now I have reason to take Manyshot/Greater Manyshot and potentially Psionic Shot/Greater Psionic Shot/Fell Shot and then Epic Psionic Focus to use Greater Psionic Shot/Fell Shot with Greater Manyshot... grief, I feel stupid now in...

I play a scout in a current 3.5 game with my gaming group, and I really enjoy the possibilities of skirmish. However, I'm a bit fuzzy on how exactly skirmish works -- when I move as part of skirmish, does that count as my move action, and therefore mean I only get one attack with skirmish...

I considered Psionic Shot/Greater Psionic Shot/Psionic Meditation for my archer build, and go for Fell Shot and Epic Psionic Focus to use Greater Psionic Shot and Fell Shot with the same psionic focus. But... really, that would be overkill, given my current build. Ultimately, it depends on...

Vassal of Bahamut is Book of Exalted Deeds; Sacred Warder of Bahamut is Draconomicon. :) Favorite classes (and I note, these aren't listed in any significant order other than basic rundown... Arcane Spellcasters Beguiler -- (PHB II): Gee... illusion/enchantment focus, with rogue sneakiness...

I'm assuming this is a first-level wizard, given what's been said so far. That said... honestly, I'd ditch Knowledge (history), unless your concept is one where the wizard in question is a student of history. I'd be more inclined to give a skill rank each to Search and Spot. But ultimately...
