Bardic Knowledge is an incredible powerfull ability, but it is NOT a substitute for 'normal' knowledge checks. normal knowledge skills can grant you information about creatures (immunities, attack forms, vulnerabilities) while bardic knowledge can grant you at the most it's probable habitat and...

There are Variant Paladins of different alignments in Unearthed Arcana. And, because it's part of the Open Gaming Content, also in the (online) RSRD: Variant Character Classes :: d20srd.org

Ok, some Ideas for you that may help: Persist spell Feat: allows you to change some spells duration to 24 h. Several detect spells work in a cone (so people outside the cone, like the rogue sneaking up behind, could be outside of the cone and thus not detected) High level caster with few...

the 'base' creature referred to is NOT, as you seem to assume, the templateless humanoid you started from, but the creature the template is added to. If you add the tauric template to a half-celestial bear, you add both the LA of the half-celestial template and the LA for the tauric template...

He got fire-breathed twice, got bitten and then tail-swept by two Large red dragons. (I've already got favored enemy: dragons from Ranger, so that direction is covered :) ) I'll investigate the other suggestions

Viktyr Korimir I think you are missing the point. Yes, this particular DM is using a very blunt Nerf Bat. Assuming he won't give up this particular house rule about multiclassing the goal is to minimize the damage he's doing by presenting an XP progression that fits the normal progression...

The LA+1 or +2 is for the fact you actually start out as a second or third level character: Fighter 1/Rogue 1 at 0 XP is a second level character, and should receive a level adjustment of +1 Fighter 1/Rogue 1/Wizard 1 at 0 XP is actually a third level character, and should receive a level...

Ok, first off: I think I understand what he is trying to do: He wants all your classes to progress simultaneously, instead of the 3.5 alternating method. Assuming you still want to play with this DM, you need to do the following: 1. Try to convince him PrC's are not classes, and they have...

First thing that comes to mind: make the Lich originally an Artificer (Eberron base class, and I think there's a Prestige Class with the same options somewhere as well) They get the ability to destroy magic items and gain some XP from that to go into a crafting pool, that they can then use to...

From the OP, I gather something like this: (ignoring PrC for the moment because it would require taking prereq's into account): 0 XP->Fighter 1/Rogue1(1000 offset)/Wizard1(2000 offset) 3000 XP=1000+1000+1000->1000/0/0-> Fighter 2/Rogue 1/Wizard 1 6000 XP=2000+2000+2000-> 2000/1000/0-> Fighter...

In case you didn't know, the Rogue can select the Skill Mastery option as one of his special abilities at lvl 10,13,16,19.

If I read your explanation correctly, he's trying to write up the 2nd edition multiclassing system in 3.5, yes? I'm still not sure what your example would lead to, so maybe you could give a level-by-level (including necessary xp) progression? Then, we could reply with a comparison with a...

I've shifted the focus of the build somewhat toward Spellcasting and Sneak Attack (couldn't help myself) using (one of) the following build(s): Bard 6/Lyric Thaumaturge 4/Sublime Chord 2/Unseen Seer 2/Virtuoso 6 or, better: Bard1/Rogue1/Bard 3/Unseen Seer 2/Lyric Thaumaturge 3/Sublime Chord...

Not really an option to pick from other books (DM is kind of restrictive) Blood Magus is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Unfortunately, it's a spellcaster class, and I'm a warrior. Maybe a little bit more info would help: I'm a Dwarf Expert2/Fighter2/SpellThief1/Ranger1 (not really a power...

My character was recently killed and then ressurrected. Because my DM likes story-driven characterbuilds, I wondered whether there were Feat and/or PrC's out there that would match with this event. Nothing came to mind, and a quick search didn't turn anything up, but maybe someone else has an...

It's not very good, no, but if you're planning to have that hand free anyway.... Technically, the only requirement is that you have nothing in that hand. The maneuver descriptions do, however, specify what you are doing with that hand, so no unarmed offhand attacks if you follow the...

You might find the Einhander Feat from PH2 interesting to look at.

There's a book by dog soul publishers called Races of Consequence that has stats for combinations of all standard PHB races (including the Half-half-orc/Halfling) purchasable online: Races of Consequence - Dog Soul Publishing | Louis Porter, Jr. Design, Inc.

Are you calling Words of Creation Words of Inspiration on purpose? Or is that a strange mind-warp you're suffering from :) Having most Feats I should take by lvl 6 looks good, although I'm wondering if dropping two caster levels on a sub-par caster like the Bard is a good idea.... I like the...

gorfnab: race has to be human, so Arcane Archer is out. Imbue arrow seems nice, but I have yet to see a list of (Bard or Sorcerer) spells that actually benefit from putting them on arrows (most AoE spells have decent ranges....). If you can give me a list of spells that make this worth while I...
