Hmmm... What about Swashbuckler? I'm not sure, but I believe it has those skills... and while it has 4 skill points/level, it does give some other nice benefits (and Int synergy). -Stuart

I disagree with your assessment of Enlightened Fist... of course, the viability of the class does depend upon the Ascetic Mage feat. Given that, though, it works fairly well. -Stuart

Try Duskblade/Spellthief: good skill points, sneak attack, utility spellcasting, steal spells Or Duskblade/Beguiler: good skill points, great spellcasting, bonus tricksiness, Int synergy (and possibly a better assassin than Duskblade/Ninja) -Stuart

Personally, I think that the slight build feature is a little too good. -Stuart

What is your goal here? Is it just to eliminate an action type? If so, try: 1. There are no standard actions. 2. Everything that was a standard action now requires two move actions. 3. In each round, you get three move actions. -Stuart

I'm playing in a game where one of the players is using those options. Personally, I think they might be a bit too good. -Stuart

If you can go with PHBII stuff: Duskblade 6 || Rogue 5/Assassin 1 Better BAB, more spells, and channeled (Int-based) spells with sneak attack? Why not? or Beguiler 6 || Rogue 5/Assassin 1 Beguiler spellcasting + assassin? Terrifying. This also allows you to ignore certain rogue skills...

Monk\Druid is a classic scary gestalt. Monk\Fighter is nice. A Monk with Fighter HD, BAB, and Bonus Feats (on top of the Monk Bonus Feats)? Yup. Monk\Ranger isn't too bad, either. -Stuart

What parts of Bard do you like? What about it makes it less desirable to you for a long term character? -Stuart

Something with a nasty short-range attack that requires a reflex save would make the rogue shine... -Stuart

I agree. What about: Combat Spellcaster Healing Spellcaster Utility Spellcaster -Stuart

If you want to play an awesome spellcaster, I submit: Beguiler/Warmage or - if you are concerned the bit of MAD in that combo: Spellthief/Warmage I haven't looked at it, but I wonder how Shadowcaster/Beguiler would work. Other nice combinations: Swordsage/Druid - focus on Wild Shape and...

Wiz (Conjurer) 1/Swashbuckler 3/Rogue 1/Assassin 1 \\ Scout 6 Swashbuckler: HD and BaB and Weapon proficiency boost. Int added to damage Wizard: Take the Conjurer option from PhBII - useful anytime, but especially with skirmish. Wizard will also help your UMD and allow you to scribe some...

14 goes into Int. A 15 won't give you any additional benefit until 4th level... and you won't retroactively get extra skills. I'd put the 15 in either Strength or Dexterity, depending upon what sort of weapons and fighting styles I wanted to use and what sort of armor I wanted to wear. -Stuart

No. Not of its own, but if a petitioner is going to travel, Sigil is a likely waypoint (if not destination)... so I figure that, given the huge numbers of petitioners in existence it is likely that there are quite a few in Sigil at any one time. -Stuart

Khaasta (essentially a lizardfolk subtype, native to the Outlands) Modrons Petitioners of various sorts Intelligent Undead (ghosts, liches, vampires, etc.) Dragons and the smarter/magical Giants would seem likely, though possibly impractical. -Stuart

Tank: Knight+++, Duskblade++, Dragon Shaman+ Damage-dealing melee: Duskblade+++, Knight++ Utility caster: Beguiler+++, Duskblade+ Artillery: Dragon Shaman++, Duskblade+ Healer: Dragon Shaman++ Sneaky/Skills: Beguiler+++ Healing is the weak point. Use the Reserve Point option from Unearthed...

Othsr spells (from the Spell Compendium) that might be useful as rays: Cyclonic Blast Fireburst (not sure how this would work) Ironthunder Horn Junglerazer -Stuart

Spellwarping is more useful when you can use spells outside of the SRD. If you are good with rays and you only have one target, most of these will benefit tremendously from ray usage. A sniper is probably going to stay in back and, you know, snipe... while other party members are in melee. You...

How about this: -Stuart
