I actually just posted an Ur-Priest build over on CircvsMaximvs earlier today in a thread discussing multi-classed characters. The build I went with was Battle Sorcerer 4 / Hexblade 4 / Rogue 1 / Ur-Priest 2 / Blackguard 3 / Mystic Theurge 6 You'll be pressed for Feats, but you can fit it...

It was the "Thieve's Cant" of Third Edition. Rogue's could use it to give voiced messages with 'hidden meanings' and speak non-sense to any outside listeners not aware of the 'secret Rogue's Language' when they were using it.

Guild Thief of Amn (I believe that is the city it references), is the updated PrC of the 3.0 Guild Thief. I'm fairly sure it is in the FRPG.

It should not be added directly to the BAB, as other poster's have said, it would make Power Attack WAY too powerful. It should perhaps be added as an Insight bonus to the attack roll (Much like True Strike). It's still a large bonus, but this way it isn't innately abusable.

The Orcish Shot Put was an Exotic (Orc Familiar) weapon from the Arms and Equipment Guide that did 2d6 damage with a x4 (I believe) critical and that did Buldgeoning damage. You could easily attach a chain and some spikes to it to give it repetitious use and reach...but I would require some...

There isn't, if you're only using the core 3, aside from Extend Spell. If you are using the 'Complete' series, however, Complete Arcane has the Mindbender PrC which allows for infinate duration charm/suggestion effects.

Most supernatural and extrodinary abilities bypass damage reduction, and the Rust Monster specifically deals additional damage to Warforged. I'd say yes, it bypasses, personally.

Mithral Breastplate is, hands down, one of the best armors in the game (The only step up in the games I run from the Mithral Chain Shirt, as most people completely disregard Mithral Full Plate because it entails an Armor Check penalty. Be prepared to defend your decision with a steadfast...

The second level Deepwarden ability has always been a source of major contention on the Character Optimization boards over at the Wizards site. It always comes down to RAW versus RAI there, but most of those wearing the Old Hat lean toward the RAI version of the power. And always remember, if...

Personally...make the Maximum Dexterity for Armor apply to his Constitution bonus. It says you 'replace the Dexterity bonus with your Constitution bonus.' If the maximum amount of Dexterity bonus you can apply while wearing a certain piece of armor is +3, then that's the maximum amount of your...

You don't want Improved Initiative if you plan on taking multiple attacks. With Combat Reflexes allowing you to take AoO's when you're flat-footed, you should let the enemy make the mistake of moving up to you first, and then adjusting 5 feet and mowing them down when you get to your action...

When using a Greatsword...Hold the Line + Improved Trip (Along with a high strength bonus) can stop a charge cold, and if you have Improved Unarmed Strike (From the two levels of Monk you should take), you can trip with an unarmed strike at full power attack (Since the trip attack is a touch...

Rakshasha is actually in Savage Species, but I know that book was done at some period during the changeover. IIRC, it's a 11 or 12 level monster class, and they start to increase spell immunuties by level (And skipping several levels) at 4.

Substitute Monster with "Any creature with racial hit dice" as the same rules apply.

No, because IIRC, is specifies 1HD creatures. You may be able to convince your DM of it, however. But by the rules, it isn't permissible.

It's in the Monster Manual. And, any 1HD Humanoid race that has a class substitutes their racial hit die with the class hit die, which is why not all classed characters begin at level 2.

Because the Stonechild is not a Templace, it is a race. If it were a template you could add on top of an existing character then yes, it would be +4. However, since it possesses its own racial hit dice, you must add those to the level adjustment.

That's what I had thought as well. The LA adds onto the racial hit dice for the creature to determine the final adjustment. Also, unless your DM is very generous, only one of those racial hit dice is maximized, the other is rolled.

I would still be highly cautious...in a 5th level group, regardless of your racial constitution modifier, you're only packing 13 hit points. I've seen characters in games against EL1 creatures with 13 hit points go down. Adamantine Chain Shirt for minor damage reduction, and I'd suggest a...

The problem is, that with the Duskblade you have just as much reliance on your spells as a normal fighter has with his weapons. If you give up the caster levels by taking a race with a high level adjustment, not only are you losing hit points, save modifiers, and base attack bonus...you're...
