Yeah, 2nd edition Stoneskin was just phenominal. Completely negating the next several attacks was just too good to pass up (was it 1D4 or 1D4 plus something?) Note the use of the word 'potential' in my previous post :p.

I'm away from my books right now, but are any of the Ninja abilites Charisma-based? If not, I'd swap Int and Cha around as you can't ever complain with more skill points. Is Ascetic Stalker one of those new Complete Scoundrel feats? I've never heard of it. Have you chosen any other feats...

Epic Spellcasting.

Most definitely. Their mere presence may have been what it took to motivate the group to succeed. This is a little more difficult to adjucate. Two things: 1)Did the PCs that didn't take part in the extraction play any role in determining that this was the required method? 2)Were they...

The Dusty rose Ioun stone will provide a +1 Insight bonus, but that's not a spell. Taking the Otherworldly feat will make you an outsider so you can Alter Self into a Dwarf Ancestor and get +18 Natural Armor (+21 w/ Barkskin). Though, some consider this debatable.

Well there's the Corrosive enhancement from the Arms and Equipment Guide. It also features Acidic Burst. Either way...just my 2 cp

Honestly, I'm not a fan of either, but moreso the template than the PrC. If you decide on the Disciple, the Hexblade makes for an excellent prefix as it grants you the spellcasting required, has full-BAB, Cha to saves, and has Know (Arcana) as a class skill. Here's a sample build that focuses...

Hmm, Stoneskin, a 4th lvl spell, has the potential to prevent 150 points of damage. Heal can restore 150 points of damage, but is a 6th level spell for Clerics (7th for Druids, IIRC). I know, it's kind of an abstract way of looking at it, but it seems to be quite powerful for it's level...

I agree that it's a no-brainer for any melee character, but moreso for a TWF melee character. As for your interpretation, I have no idea how you came to that conclusion. There is nothing in the description that denotes a full-round action and, of the 3.0 splatbooks, I can only find errata for...

What suffix are you considering? In either case you've got several levels of full-casting you need to tack onto the end in order to get 9th level arcane spells. I'd suggest Fatespinner for the super easy entry, Archmage if you have the feat slots to spare, or Incantatrix for some metamagic...

The Genesis spell (Manual of the Planes, IIRC) will allow for the creation of a smaller demiplane that slowly grows over time. I believe you may even be able to manipulate the planar features, but it's been so long since I've looked at that book I could very easily be wrong. Either way...just...

While it's entirely possible (IMO) it would be cheaper, XP-wise, for you to just cast Contingency-trigger: when you die-and then use Limited Wish to duplicate Raise Dead or Revivify and attach that to the contingency. 300xp is a far lesser price to pay than 5000. Either way...just my 2 cp

Replacing the Assassin spell progression with a scattered +1 existing spellcasting class progression would be an interesting house-rule and something I'll have to consider. For now, I'd like to see what I do with what's already available. The only problem I have with Beguiler is that they...

The way we read it [Dirty Fighting], it provided an extra 1D4 damage on all melee attacks. I didn't find it unbalancing, but was there some errata I missed? Ever since she saw Ability Focus in the Monster Manual she fell in love with it. It'll definitely see a place in her update build...

FWIW, Ur-Priest is an entirely viable class all on it's own; that is, without Mystic Theurge shenanigans. Obviously you'll lose access to 9th level arcane spells, but this reduces Multiple Ability Dependancy, allows you to focus all of your attention on maximizing one class's spellcasting...

I have played several prepared arcane casters since 3rd edition has been released, and this spell sees a generous amount of use in mid-to-higher-level play. However, I would rarely cast it on myself. It seems that many people are under the assumption that the wizard is buffing herself with...

Hmm, oh, I know...in Time! I'd go back in time utilizing Teleport Through Time and hide it somewhere in the past. Plane Shifting to the far realms, Gating in a Pit Fiend and Imprisoning him with the phylactery should suffice. Either way...just my 2 cp

I disagree. I've played a Champion of Corellon Larethian before with a heavy focus on the Dex/Int to damage aspect. I threw in a little sneak attack to up the TWF damage potential and it turned out to be a very formidable finesse-based warrior (despite being an elf). Jack Dex and Int through...

No, from the SRD: Emphasis mine. oh god... :D

Mark of the Dauntless, IIRC. If you're playing on the level of power that Celerity is, you should have no problem sacrificing a mere 300 XP to a Limited Wish emulating Favor of the Martyr. For those Cerebremancers out there, the Unconditional Power feat will allow you to continue manifesting...
