You might get some insight from looking into the Sha'ir class which was originally put in Dragon 315 but got reprinted in the Dragon Compendium too. http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=10153.0 goes over the min/max of it, but the fluff of it is it's an arcane caster that...

This is the Sandstorm Sand Dragon, correct? There is such a large difference between that version and the Brown Dragon from Monsters of Faerun that they're definitely not the same creature. Based on how the text says they aren't Evil, but definitely not Good, I wouldn't be inclined to give...

I second (or third? Might even be 4th at this point) one of the most widely used house rules is no multiclass penalties. Removing alignment restrictions tends to be less used. Dodge being a +1 against everything is one of those that is usually done by more number-crunchy kind of DMs. I can't...

The rules are a bit fuzzy on it, but that's the safest option. Some DMs will allow copying from memory though.

And since they're known on the spontaneous side, the character can make scrolls of them then add them to his spellbook on the wizard side.

Strictly speaking, no. Being a spell casting class does not qualify someone for a psionic prestige class, and vice versa, even under the transparency rule. However, you could still modify the class to do it, but be aware it'll require some work because of Augmented Casting. You'd be sacking...

Keep in mind Improved Natural Attack can't be taken multiple times for the same weapon, unless the DM says otherwise. Are you allowing it, given that the feat specifically doesn't normally allow it? Besides that problem, the feat is poorly written and put together. It says "Each attack...

If Magic in the Blood is allowed for use on your character then it's pretty decent. Besides simply "moral compass" for the team, what other purpose do you want this character to have? What race do you want to go for? What classes might you be interested in? Since you're half-celestial, you...

Multiclassing is always tricky because there's a crowd that feels their character should get appropriate powers for the total character level by multiclassing, while another says the character still has to start at the beginning and go through the ropes of gaining experience in those classes...

Shadow Blade can be used instead of Weapon Finesse for prerequisites just like the Expeditious Dodge feat can be used in place of Dodge for prerequisites. No, you don't actually gain the benefits of Weapon Finesse (or Dodge).

There's the Binder class in the Tome of Magic book which goes along the lines of your idea. They can bind different vestiges to themselves, and each one has its own unique requirements and drawbacks. I don't recommend having the magic be tied to evil deities, mostly because that entirely...

Taking a couple levels in fighter wouldn't keep you from getting 9th level maneuvers since the initiator level for non-martial adepts is 1/2 per class level. Though I'd probably recommend the martial rogue variant instead of fighter levels because regular fighter doesn't compare. You can't...

As mentioned before, Hexblades are rarely a problem as far as being "too powerful" goes. Of all the stunted casters (paladin, ranger, and hexblade), they're mechanically the weakest when one factors in splat support for paladins and rangers. If you want to look at the spells, I've made a...

What PrC do you intend to go into? Can you give us more data about your character and plans for it? What PrCs have you looked at that "didn't fit" so that we don't give you those suggestions? Do realize though that you've kinda shot yourself in the foot with multiclassing that much in a game...

That's the most used explanation, yes.

You might not have been thinking about a feat. The Thug variant fighter gets 4 skill points per level.

An Archivist can scribe any divine spell into his prayerbook so long as it comes from a scroll (or other source as allowed by the DM, but scrolls are what the rules refer to as most likely source). Taking the Scribe Scroll feat comes in very handy here because it's possible to create a scroll...

If you're brand new to D&D, I'd recommend just sticking with the core 3 books (DMG, MM, and PHB) until you're intimately familiar with the rules. The more supplements you add in the more complex it becomes, and that means you might have a more difficult time getting a hold of the game. Instead...

One of the things the designers have mentioned is that any race that grants a bonus to a mental stat should probably be at least a +1 LA, unless the setting is such that it's not too big of a problem such as with Grey Elves or if the lowered stat is Constitution such as with Spellscales from...

Would Spiritual Weapon work?
