what exactly is your interpretation of the below excerpt, why is this all in bold? Unique SpellsThe bard, paladin, and ranger spell lists contain a number of spells that don't appear on other classes' spell lists. In general, any character who enters one of these prestige classes should gain...

as far as sleeping opponents or "other" defenseless targets we allow 1 roll for the target to perceive, be it listen, feeling of vibration thru floor boards or the gratuitous opening of eyes right at the time of attack. This allows a roll off, the attacker is trying to sneak up and be quiet, he...

I get that vs the BBeG or the "boss" but vs multiple targets those area spells can cause some major damage. As an example fireball, a 3rd level spell, 5d6 damage to 20' radius. Lets say I avg roll 17 pts of damage. Thats a lot of half dead worgs n Ogres. Not to mention the fear of the BOOM...

When I was searching for spells for a Prc Bard / Beguiler build I kept seeing responses in threads knocking evocation specialist aka blasters. The Blasters were inferior somehow? either by mechanic or influence I dunno just kept seeing the blanket statement that evokers/blasters were weak...

so I know the BoED has a "broken" spell called Luminous Armor. And I heard mention of others, perhaps not armor based, but equally as broken. Does the BoVD have any spells on par with BoED? Reason is I am making a evil pc, a Beguiler / Nightmare Spinner, and was "in the hunt" for some illusion...

On other threads I have displayed an interest in the Nightmare Spinner PC. I already meet all the prerequisites except the ability to cast 3rd level spell. Im entering via Beguiler, so Im already 1 level behind in spell acquisition, so Im interested to see if there is a way to qualify for...

Robilar's Gambit + Hold the line + Karmic Strike + imp combat reflexes...would this work?

exalted arcanist sand sandshaper both have spell lists you get access to once class is taken so this wouldnt be as "unique" as I thought STILL AWESOME...if allowed eman

My plan is Beguiler/Mindbender to enter Prestigious Bard. At 1st level PB I gain access to the Bard spell list...OK now thats awesome. Confusion as a 2nd level spell, big time heck yah! Oh how would this work, Beguiler has a set spell list he knows and the Unique spells info is he will gian...

hey guys n gals I am not designing a build with this in mind, not yet. I was posting this inquiry on a purely "what the heck is this" basis. I had ran across the battle blessing, prestigious pali and the SoTAO and thought it was extremely power gamey. After the responses I no longer think its...

oh c'mon dandu I was just havin some fun here...gees. I mean who doesn't remember the brave sir robin song anyhoot?

Did I read it correctly that this combo can produce a Paladin that casts arcane spells? That is assuming the following example will be a pc. 2 levels of fighter and 3 of Cleric, the mounted comabt feat and prereq skills will qualify him for the prestigious Paladin. Once he gains level in...

The singing IMO was kinda hokie for a class to be based off of. It should be a profession based on perform not a class. 2nd D&D is based off the adventurer climbing around mountains, crawling thru dungeons fighting big monsters. A guy with a musical instrument while nice at a campfire doesn't...

I wanted this to be a pc of all firsts, at least picking roads less travelled. Our gaming group voted on gestalt pc's, so just remember its a gestalt & evil group. I initially intended on making the skill monkey of the party and I also wanted to make an evil "mentalist". I came up with...

I have not played a rogue before and now that I said I'm making a Beguiler/rogue (gestalt campaign) I feel ....cheated. Yah, I feel more like I'm stuck with the rogue build, more than "gees I get to try something new here whoopi"! My wind is officially out of my sails. (enter sad face little...

I just figured out that a Prestigious Bard does not gain access to the Bard Spell list and thusly denied access to those spells the traditional Bard had access to before other classes. For a Beguiler base class the Prestigious Bard just sings to me (yep IIII know). +2 Caster level with the whole...

I think that most of these spells work against most of the populis most of the time. The cunning bad guys abilities work against most of the people most of the time. The endgame here is an elite small percentage of the people that have access to spells and abilities up and beyond the norm. An...

I've gamed for 30+ yrs and can say safely less than 5 Bards have ever been played out of thousands of pcs, dozens of gaming groups. Without fail everybody says they're to gimped as far as spells progression and walking around with a musical instrument just seems so cumbersome for a adventuring...

I dont think the OP was really concerned of how to play an evil pc nor what type of arch villian he was aiming to be. I think he noticed a few things while trying to design his evil pc. -Theres less stuff! The good guys have a lot more to pick n choose from. Us bad guys get screwed! Less info...
