In your example, yes, he would be a 2nd level fighter. The Half-Ogre has no racial hit dice, though it probably should. I'd be a bit careful ofthe race though, even at +2 it is great for a fighter, and only gets better. At this level, he will be significantly behind the HP curve, which will slow...

Note the word 'Spellbook' in the requirements. Arcane prep does not get around that.

Wizards already have a similar ability, called access to all knowledge skills. If they put only one rank into each, they end up with 1+INT+d20 for all knowledge skills ,and almost definitely better for Know-arcane and a couple of others. Not bad for ten skill points. The Jack of all trades...

First be the conjurer varient from Unearthed ARcana. Then you can cast summoning spells as standard actions. Much better than being a target for a whole round, plus you get them to defend you faster. Or talk with, you freak ;) Tehn work into MAster Specialist if you want, or go...

Quite and interesting thread. For me D&D first became popular due to the fact it was the only thing outthere at first, and then when it started getting popular, retailers were only willing to try the biggest of this new hobby, due to worries about having stock sitting on their shelves until...

I have been running gestalt with my two freidns in our face-to-face for years, and it has really saved our game. BeforeI had to play my own character (I usually DM) and also NPC a fourth character jsut to have the basic of a group. Now with a total of six 'classes' spread out amongst three...

And what skeletons lurk within, I wonder? ;) But on topic, I agree thought bottles are an item to avoid like the plague. I would not allow them in my campaign, or remove the whole memory/xp/etc part of it and have them just store thoughts.

I don't think you give enough information for anyone to make an intelligent choice like level, campaign setting, current party make up, etc. Personally I would go with the Green Star becasue it is not eveil, and much cooler than yet another lich or demon.

With Ultimate magus, I am assuming you are trying to keep the DCs of your Wizard high, and your warmage is falling behind a bit. So I would go with spells that are very useful, but do not require saves. Also one you wil cast multiple times per day. ALso if you have a spell failure chance on...

For me it is the Fey. Yes, I know they are a staple of real-world middle ages 'fantasy', but I have never wanted to ad hem to the game in a way taht makes them a real influence, so they tend to be jsut random monsters with little backstory. If it were not for the ARcane Ooze, I wouldn't use...

I spend a lot of time in gaming and gaming related activity(like this board) but I do not let it take control of my life. I am somewhere in between. Probably on the hard-core end, though.

If you only go to 8th level no problem at all. Teh real cheese with Ur-Priest is going Wizard 5/Ur priest 2/Mystic Theurge 10 or some such. Taht is cheesy.

Perhaps you could use a mechanic like the Erudite's "Unique Powers". Teh yamy know hundreds of spells, but can only cast a small number of each type per day. like 3-10 arcane and 3-10 divine perday. That would require thinking, planning nad would help balance it out. Antoehr good way to...

Wow, not much for my gaming buck this year. I will get Complete Champion Expedition to Castle Greyhawk I might get The other two expeditions The rest just do not look interesting to me at all. The secrets of a part-time sorceress is an ACCESSORY? Not only will I not get that one, I'll be...

Ask your DM. Only he knows the answer. And his answer is always right. Do not doubt your DM

My group usually starts at 3rd, and some of the campaigns have ge through a lot of levels. The last three, if I remember: 3rd-14th or so. TPK by a claw-using Vampire. 3rd-27th. Retired characters because they could not really be challenged. 3rd-9th. TPK in the Red Hand of Doom. And starting...

Yep, not really possible to vote as written.

LOL, Me too. But I know if I go to 4E, and that is by no means a guarantee, I will probably end up buying a lot.

To be honest, Attack, Concelament and Mirror Image affect the mage just as much as the spellcaster. And he has far fewere ways to trump them. For the above a simple Assay spell resitance and true seeing negates, not mitigates, but totally negates 3 in almost all situations. Choose a nice orb...

Yes, I should have been clearer on that point. You choose them onthe fly, as you go through the day. I know of no feats that grant more per day or the ability to switch them.
