    Without the ability to do a full attack from feats or scrolls (Q Ddoor) or class features I gain nothing from the main feature of the Marilith since six arms are no better than two against an intelligent opponent who keeps mobile. As it is I get an extra move action 3/day from an item, other...

    It all hinges on Pounce, though. Unless there is some bonus to str or PA damage to wielding a weapon in six hands. I'm guessing not. My character doesn't even have toes, so no risk there. ;)

    I'm considering it, but I would have to trade off another feat, probably Greater Multiweapon Fighting or Hand of Osano Wo. Either would cost me a lot of damage potential in return for boosting Power Attack, and using PA reduces my chances to hit unless I take Shock Trooper, which costs me...

    Thanks. Most of the equipment I can adjust without much additional cost and I still have a lot of gold unspent. I was hoping to use the scrolls as a way to equalise my powerlevel compared to the casters, but the removal of Shapechange goes a long way so I'm satisfied. I know it's not a...

    Some of that's easy to change, for others it will require some rethinking. I've added part of her background to the post above. It's not finished and I'll try to raise the quality of the writing when I go over it again. I'm continuously revising my character to incorporate your rulings and...

    Here she is, nearly completed. -- Shahaza Part 1 or 2 She stood upon the broken plane of Avernus, surveying a field of carnage. Endless rows of fiends and mortals surged forth beneath her, crashing into her enemies. Expendable. They would die killing diabolic shock troops who were...

    I have some difficulty assigning skillpoints, it seems I just have too many of them. Do I have to spend all my skillpoints each level or can I save some to use when I change class? Also, I saw some of you posting die rolls earlier. Where did you use roll those? Touch attacks. --

    3.5e Optimized Character Builds - D&D Wiki There are some good ideas on this site. They are not 30 level builds, so hardly optimized for you but a good starting point or at least some inspiration. http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19868042/Character_Build_Spotlight:_Gish...

    I have a few books, but 95% of what I'm using is from the SRD. Other sources are good for one or two details per book, but the SRD is a great resource. If you get started on the basic structure of your build I'm sure some of us can help you fill it out to your satisfaction.

    Sorry, guess I got a bit carried away :blush:. I'll try to finish my character by today, but it will probably be done tomorrow.

    Me too, and no offense taken. I wouldn't be posting like this unless I enjoyed the discussion, and the outcome is not really that big a deal. The Belt of Battle is in, it's just nice to have a backup.

    She can Use Magic Item to cast Summon Monster IX from a scroll. Colossal Fiendish Spider ftw :devil:. It can already carry much more than her 4000 lbs, so that's not an issue. It will obey her commands and she has the stat bonuses to be able to ride it. But I want to be able to use something...

    Edit: And if we multiply 136 by four we get 544, which seems to fit pretty good. Multiply it with 8 and it's 1088, which is not far from what I suggested though a bit on the heavy side. Though perhaps it's a bit silly to discuss realism. If we consider the existance of demons realistic why...

    I am having fun, I just want to keep my character alive so I can have even more fun when the game starts. I know it seems like I'm munchkining, but that's just because I'm so obvious posting about it. It's those who don't need to ask questions we should worry about, if we should bother worrying...

    :p ---- I've noticed something odd about the Marilith. Their length from head to tail is 20ft, but their stated weight is 4000 lbs. That's 200 lbs/foot! And the art indicates the Marilith is slim, both her humanoid and serpent parts. Since demons are made of flesh and not lead or uranium...

    Some of the best "gishes" (that's fighter/mages, right?) are clerics. They have plenty of buffing spells that make them better fighters than most Fighters with plenty of support, offensive and defensive power and flexibility. With a Domain that grants you Shapeshange you'll be a terror on the...

    It would, but I would have to trade it for a level of Monk that gives me +11ish AC, Marshal which gives me and the entire team (with hirelings and all) +16 (or something like that) to strength, or Fighter which gives me two feats which take me closer to being able to kill anything without a...

    Shayuri, I love you :). Silence! That's a brilliant idea and I feel so stupid for not seeing it. She can have silence up permanently since she has telepathy and doesn't cast spells. And it would even be pretty useful against any spellcasters she's fighting. There are some other spells that...

    Eh, why do you have to be inside the AMF? The radius is only 10ft. You could be attacking another enemy, or attacking our vulnerable grappled prey from outside the field (your weapons wouldn't count as magical but the rest of your equipment would). Besides, I've been able to find a couple of...

    My main problem with my build is that it's very weak against spellcasters. Sure I can buy items that grant immunities against most effects, and her saves will be decent. But her SR is terrible for her ECL and I don't think the rules allows it to stack with magic items, so a cleric with Holy Word...
