For those who would like a link to the actual feats: Robilar's Gambit. Yes, it does work on both misses and hits, unlike Karmic Strike. Note there is a disclaimer on it that asks you not to look at anything from books you don't actually own.

Hang on a sec. The DM determines whether spells have an effect? For some open-ended spells yes, but the text of many spells specifically says what it does which the DM is typically bound to go along with. I would hope there isn't a DM who would say "No, you can't do that" arbitrarily when the...

I don't think there are games where the DM doesn't actually play the creatures and such since as you said that'd mean the DM doesn't really do anything. That route is always one way for the DM to influence the course of the encounter. However, I don't think that's what you're trying to get at...

The DM might choose what he thinks would be threatening to the players, but what if they don't perceive it as a threat? Can it then still be called an actual threat? I suppose I have to ask: What do you define as a threat? What magnitude of opposition does a creature need to exert or be...

What you were taught is one thing. What someone else was taught or otherwise thinks is another. How things actually are might be yet another thing, and that can change with the people in this case. If you can't reconcile the different "thruths" of different people then you're not likely to...

Shea is using "antagonist" to mean exactly what his second sentence there says: Those creatures that are elevated beyond the simple threat. Clearly you do not agree with that use of the term that way. The question is: Does that difference of perception mean someone is wrong? Granted, this is...

Scientific questions can only be scientific if they can be tested; preferably repeatedly to verify the results. It is not possible, at the moment anyway, to test whether souls exist just like it's not possible to test whether any deities exist in the real world. We might eventually be able to...

Considering cleaning something by its very definition means (among other things) removing unwanted dirt or scents and such, I'd say that Prestidigitation could definitely remove smells from the subject, at least enough to confuse an opponent tracking by scent but perhaps not become entirely...

Regarding Prestidigitation, it specifically says that it can clean or soil something. While it doesn't explicitly say it, it is demonstrable by the last sentence that either of those effects last indefinitely beyond the spell's duration until something else changes thm. Something that was...

@kaldric2020 If you still want some tips on this you're probably better off remaking the thread and giving it the proper Pathfinder tag instead of D&D 3.5. And as Umbran noted, there is a specific place for working on builds and such.

There are two totem "systems" for barbarians: The one from Complete Champion, and the one from Unearthed Arcana (which is in the SRD too). While you explicitly can't take multiple totems within the same system, you can technically take them between the systems so long as the class features can...

I'm only familiar with 3.5, not Pathfinder, so my comments will be coming from that point of view. They will also be coming from the point of view that the ability is actually meant to be functional and such, so any odd interpretations that mean the ability doesn't actually function or change...

If you got the second level of barbarian you could take the Wolf Totem variant that technically does not interfere with taking the Lion Spirit Totem ACF since they trade out different class features. That setup is usually the one people use for easy entry into Improved trip/Knockdown...

Was there anything specific to Crusader that you thought might work for this build?

I specifically linked the feats (that's why they're blue) in case there was any question on why they might be used. I would not have linked those feats if they couldn't apply to your situation as I understood it. Manyshot is indeed a standard action, which you can verify by clicking the link...

Getting the Manyshot and Greater Manyshot feats is one option for skirmishers.

This one is a build idea I've been kicking around in my head for a while actually. Basically it takes the halfling rogue sub level in Races of the Wild for 2d6 ranged SA damage at 1st level, then goes into cleric and takes the Sacred Outlaw feat and eventually the Grenadier, Mad Alchemist, and...

Depends on who you talk to and what their tolerance for the effects of rules mastery is. Many people in this forum, as I'm sure you've noticed, take at least some part of the stance that if a rule or rules combination leads to an absurd or broken result then at the very least the end result...

Just because something was recorded does not mean that people have actually seen it in part or in full, much less understood it in part or in full. If you are claiming something, as indeed you are, the onus is always on you to provide the rigorous citations at every turn you are questioned to...

Argumentative logic demands that if you're going to say it's already addressed you really need to provide a quote (or at least some citation) back to where it was addressed because obviously someone either missed it or didn't think it was actually addressed properly. Handwaving that sort of...
