    negative energy feats

    While I, too, seem to recall a feat similar to what you've mentioned, the name and source escape me at the moment. However, I can recall the Improved Turning feat from the PhB, the Undead Leadership feat (Libris Mortis perhaps?) and the spell General of Undeath from the Player's Guide to...

    AC 56 at level 6! You too can do it!

    While a noble and respectable notion, the rhetoric with which you present such a premise is rather disparaging. However, I will attempt a fairly "easy" method of obtaining a similar armor class to stave off the naysayers. Keep in mind, this is all off the top of my head so it will, perhaps...

    Animal Friendship

    Sheltem's conclusion is correct, but I don't think the answer is found on page 48 of your PhB. It appears you play 3.0 (as Animal Friendship no longer exists in 3.5) and should thus read the spells section of the Ranger class for a specific rules quote. I don't have my 3.0 books handy...

    Decrease their Will saves?

    A hit from the Sword of Deception spell (Complete Arcane) provides a cumulative -1 penalty on the opponents next saving throw. Limited Wish can be used to grant a -7 penalty to your opponents next save. Well worth the XP in certain situations. Mind Fog affects a very large area over an...

    Is the Assassin's Death Attack an 'evil act'?

    Actually, it's pretty clear that atoning will make you a Paladin again.

    D&D 3.x New to 3.5 Need Advice on Ranger/Wizard

    None of them, IIRC. The OP specified Forgotten Realms Player's Guide, which I took to mean Player's Guide to Faerun; where ETG and SToA can be found. If I assumed incorrectly, I apologize. However, Shadow Thief of Amn is called Guild Thief in the FRCS and still provides early entry...

    One. Divine Power. Fighter BAB, +1 Temp HP/CL and +6 strength.

    Help with evil cleric NPC

    Of course a level 17 spellcaster is too much for an ECL 11 group. A single 9th level spell will utterly destroy them all. I assumed they would be leveling before meeting this particular BBEG and, thus, provided a simple build that would effectively challenge high level PCs. I guess I should...

    What essential rules should a neophyte player know?

    Wrong. What the DM says always goes. That doesn't mean she's always right. How to roll a die and read. The rest can easily be picked up on as gameplay continues, as, I assume, you have a decent grip on the ruleset and can iterate to the player which modifier to add to the die roll...

    Is the Assassin's Death Attack an 'evil act'?

    It's entirely plausible for a Paladin to take the Assassin Prc, but yes, she will lose all of her Paladin abilities if she strays from Lawful Good. Assassin has no such written preclusion, but as was stated, complete warrior brings a new (albeit dim) light to the issue. In order to qualify for...

    Anti-Undead Rogue

    I wouldn't know, I just registered today... Disruptive Attack, IIRC.

    Slay Living or Finger of Death

    While I agree that Finger of Death is superior to Slay Living, I think it's important to note that Slay Living does not have a maximum on the damage it can deal. Finger of Death caps at 3D6+25. Therefore, if one is able to generate an obscenely high or nigh-infinite caster level, Slay Living...

    Anti-Undead Rogue

    When my Rogues have encountered undead, they've always just switched into UMD-mode. Use Magic Device is your best friend versus creatures immune to your sneak attack. Grabbing a Wand of Scorching Ray is an easy way to dish out a decent amount of damage. If you are a Divine spellcasting Rogue...

    D&D 3.x New to 3.5 Need Advice on Ranger/Wizard

    A good Prestige Class for a Ranger/Caster hybrid is the Evereskan Tomb Guardian. You mentioned being an Elf; which just so happens to be required for ETG. However, you also mentioned that you are not attempting either two-weapon fighting or archery. Your only damage potential will be your...

    Combat Cleric Here's a melee combat oriented exalted Cleric I played last year: Clr 4/Church Inquisitor 4/Fist of Raziel 10/Heirophant 2 +17 BAB, 9th lvl divine spells (CL 19), great saves, amazing smiting abilities, Mastery of Energy and Divine Reach. Very effective melee combatant that...
