Some options: Soulknife - five levels will allow you to create two mind blade shortswords as a free action once per round. If you start the round with two, that allows you to throw four in a single round. Different flavor, though. Custom Magic Item - It shouldn't be difficult to craft a...

What level are you looking at? What supplements are allowable? -Stuart

Does that look like a CR 4 critter? I based it on the Giant Crocodile, Huge Shark, and Dragon Turtle. It has a ton of hit points for a CR 4 creature, but I made it a noncombative herbivore.... which renders it somewhat less devastating in combat than it would otherwise be. -Stuart

How about he gets shunted upwards? -Stuart

How is this: Giant Turtle Size/Type: Huge Animal Hit Dice: 10d8+60 (105 hp) Initiative: +0 Speed: 20 ft. (4 squares), swim 20 ft. Armor Class: 23 (-2 size, +15 natural), touch 8, flat-footed 23 Base Attack/Grapple: +7/+22 Attack: bite +7 melee (2d6+3) Full Attack: bite +7 melee (2d6+3)...

Huh. Okay. I tend to be most familiar with adding class levels to either simple monsters without many special abilities (humanoids, giants, and whatnot) or templated things, which might be why I thought that... -Stuart

Is that actually the rule? I didn't think it was and can't find a reference that specifies that the HD have to be creature-type HD rather than HD from class levels. -Stuart

Why wouldn't Warrior levels add to save DCs? The DCs are based off of HD, and character levels come with HD... -Stuart

Incendiary Cloud doesn't start fires? Do they even know what "incendiary" means? -Stuart

The big culprit here? +1 CR per 4 HD. Compare that to levels in Warrior - +1 CR per 2 levels (as a nonassociated class). Aberration HD are near-equivalent to warrior levels. The only substantive distinction is that they have 3/4 BAB. If you'd given them 11 levels in Warrior rather than 22...

An Immovable Rod. -Stuart

Monk 9/Dervish 10 is really nice, too. The last level in there could be another level of Monk... or Fighter or Swordsage or Kensai or Warlock or whatever. Monk 9 gives you +30' movement, no penalties on a flurry, and improved evasion. With a Monk's Belt and Superior Unarmed Strike (or whatever...

Okay. What features are interesting/important to you in those classes? -Stuart

Aside from the fact that you can't sneak attack with Ray of Enfeeblement: Undead. Sneak attack. Not really likely. -Stuart

What about a Monk/Scout/Dervish build? With versatile unarmed strike, that would be very nice... -Stuart

I've toyed with a few gestalt variants: 1) Everyone is gestalt up to 3rd level. Proceed normally from there. 2) Gestalt where one of the classes has to be a class with no spells, spell-like, or supernatural abilities (limited pretty much to barbarian, rogue, fighter, scout, swashbuckler, or...

Fun with Permanency: Permanent Telepathic Bond: for really fast communication. Permanent Alarm: want to be aware every time someone crosses a threshold? (warning: this can get annoying) Permanent Magic Mouth: endless possibilities, including signaling, guarding, and warning. It can respond to...

Just give +1 LA races a level of Commoner alongside their LA. -Stuart

Have watchtowers regularly spaced around the city to be used as relay points. They'll still be too far apart for Message, but Silent Image is a first level spell with long range - and which can be used to send complex visual messages. Whispering Wind (2nd level spell) works well, too: have a...

I dunno. If you max out spot and listen and wisdom, your scores will be ridiculous even without Alertness... and if you get racial skill bonuses in wildshape (I'm not sure what the current ruling on that is), this can get even more ridiculous when you wildshape into an eagle or something. -Stuart
