To give some more context: Skirmish is not counted as Sneak Attack for pretty much any purpose including feat and PrC requirements or advancement. Unlike Sudden Strike, it does not have specific wording that allows it to be treated as SA. About the only rule I know of that allows any kind of...

What is your definition of "munchkin"? Usually it means a player who will bend and twist the rules in their favor and generally be malicious. I would hope you're not going there. If you mean you want to optimize then you should say that instead. Clearly you want to optimize towards a certain...

Shaman might not need much work to port over. In looking through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_class_%28Dungeons_&_Dragons%29 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaman_%28Dungeons_%26_Dragons%29 it seems you could go with the Shugenja or Spirit Shaman classes from Complete Divine. Do...

One would hope the players are able to keep player knowledge separate from character knowledge, but that doesn't always happen sadly.

Strictly speaking, for me the elf ability to notice secret doors is something that must be taken into account on the DM side just as much as the dwarf ability to notice unusual stonework. It is a passive ability that is always on and thus it is the DM's job to react to it, not the player's job...

I know of no ACFs or other substitutions for clerics that even reference "golden" anything. Considering I rewrote the ACF handbook and Dragon Mag ACF handbook that should be quite telling. If he's talking about prestige classes then the wikipedia list likewise mentions nothing "golden"...

They're basically covering their butts for other stuff although there are a few places in the regular books to get Smite Chaos. There are two paladin variants in Dragon Mag that get Smite Chaos: The LN Enforcer in Dragon 310 and the LE Despot in Dragon 312.

You could ask a mod to move it by reporting your own post. Alternately, you could just ask for this to be closed and then put up a new thread in that forum with the rest of the information about your build so far.

http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=313633 is the link. That said, what do you want out of the character? You're already at rogue5/ fighter1 (drow ACF)/ assassin 3, but what parts of what's already there do you want to emphasize? You really ought to post the entirety of your...

The description of necromancy is as follows from the SRD. There is nothing inherently evil about necromancy. Divorce yourself from that idea when it comes to D&D. Only the spells that actually have the [Evil] descriptor are restricted to Good clerics. For example, if you used Summon Monster...

If you would like a resource to choose some ACFs, take a look at http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=8732.0. Also keep in mind the Obtain Familiar feat could work for you.

Another way of reading the "appropriate" bit has nothing to do with what's appropriate for the campaign and everything to do with appropriating the original abilities of the creature.

As mentioned, the class is more in tune with the ebb and flow of magic so getting an ability to sense certain magical things is right in line with their kit. And do note the swordsage isn't so martial overall. After all, they've only got a cleric's BAB, not a fighter's like the crusader or...

One of the issues I have with Simulacrum is that listing "special abilities" from the start creates issues because the entire special abilities index is so broad that there will certainly be problems with keeping things appropriate to the campaign if the players are going to actively use it. I...

Delericho pretty much nails it on the head from what I've seen with 3e. Each attack during a pounce is still part of a charge, so each one gets the +2 bonus. I'm not sure if it's actually noted like that in the rules though, so let's see if some of the creatures with rake (only possible with a...

Coming from exclusively 3e stuff, I would agree with this, although I can imagine that 4e could integrate such things more closely with the game than 3e might. 3e can be loose in those regards and even clerics don't necessarily need to even worship a deity to actually be a cleric (except in...

I wouldn't say it's either the player or the DM that are a problem. Rather, it's the fact that they're likely playing the game for different reasons and so there will be a huge disconnect. If the DM is going to have the demon react to the player like that when the player clearly won't accept...

Do keep in mind that demons and devils are meant to be pains in the ass when it comes to "bargaining" and such. While I do agree the examples given are a bit too much (though not likely for the reasons most would think at first), I can also see that those specific creatures will twist words...

No one is suggesting that a DM can't allow that kind of thing, but the point is and has always been that the wizard's ability to do stuff is not, or is at least far less, dependent on the DM "allowing" it to happen or for other things like a previous character to exist. There are fewer if any...

Of note is there is a feat in one of the Dragonlance books (AFB right now, so can't directly reference it) that allows a mount to be the same size as its rider. If it's a "suitable mount" otherwise of course.
