    Any way of adding Dex to damage instead of Str?

    The Corsair nets you Dex to damage at 9th level. It can be found in Dragon #321. The Fierce enhancement from the Arms and Equipment guide will allow you to transfer your Dex bonus from AC to Damage. The Sword of Graceful Strikes (A&E again) allows you to use your Dex instead of your Str on...

    Help revamping Assassin/Arcane Trickster

    Thanks Rex, I love it. I'll see what she thinks; for some reason I just know she'll want to toss Ability Focus: Death Attack in that open slot... At a glance, it looks mechanically sound to me and very potent indeed. I had initially suggested a Sublime Chord build to her, but she just knew...

    Ur-priest (*sigh*) for antihero campaign.

    Ur-Priest references your level in another spellcasting class, not your caster level. Therefore, the enhanced Wizard casting granted by the Mystic Theurge does nothing for the Ur-Priest's caster level.

    Spellcasting question and query

    I seem to recall the DMG stating that there is a four-encounter-per-day estimation taken into account when determining Challenge Rating as well as other general mechanic balance. I cannot seem to find this quote, however. Extrapolating from this, we can see that the number of spells cast/items...

    Help revamping Assassin/Arcane Trickster

    Hi all. This is my first thread here, so please forgive me if the format is unattractive :o. I have a player who wishes to update one of her characters that I DMd for extensively in 3.0. She had a blast playing this character from 1-20th lvl and wishes to continue it's legacy with the new...

    Super Heroes

    Well, here's a WotC thread with a lot of ideas for some super heros. Not all of it is perfect, but it's a great read nonetheless. Either way...just my 2 cp

    Paladin build help

    My bad, I was browsing multiple threads simultaneously. I would have suggested some Cleric levels were it not for his 12 wisdom.

    Prestige class for bard/swashbuckler

    Can you find out what race she is and what feats she has taken so far? This would be very helpful in determining which Prcs she'll be able to qualify for. I'll just throw my 2 cp out there and say that the Dread Pirate Prc from CAdv might fit this character's persona.

    Paladin build help

    A few random suggestions: Take another Paladin level for the boost to Ref/Will saves, get 5 ranks in Diplomacy and Know (Religion) and grab the Servant of the Heavens feat. At your next level take the Fist of Raziel Prc. It'll increase your dismal Paldin casting and provide some excellent...

    What would you Play?

    While it's entirely dependant on party structure and starting level, Clerics can tank just as well as any warrior-type. If UA is allwed, the following build is both potent and thematic: Cleric 3/Church Inquisitor 4/Prestige Paladin 3/Fist of Raziel 10 Feats: Power Attack, Mounted Combat...

    Ur-priest (*sigh*) for antihero campaign.

    Expanding off of Jack Simth's suggestion is a build I played about a year ago: Human Wiz 5/Mindbender 1/Ur-Priest 2/Mystic Theurge 8/Fatespinner 4 This nets you 9th level arcane and divine spells with some interesting fate manipulation at higher levels. It's important to take into account the...

    Perstige class and adding to existing cating levels

    It can advance any spellcasting class, which is loosely defined as any class that has a spell list. Therefore, Loremaster could progress, say, Ur-Priest or Bard. Despite lacking any additional spell slot acquisition, one could still progress the caster level of the class...right? (i.e...

    Sanctum Spell - why so great?

    It's an interesting race from the Races of Destiny sourcebook. Overall, I'd say it's quite balanced and very playable. As an aside, I did a little research on this topic and determined that the Character Optimization boards have a thread detailing the various (ab)uses of the Sanctum Spell...

    Any 1st level feats that give a Sorceror another spell

    Only if you're of the, rather dubious, opinion that it allows early entry into various Prcs. Otherwise, it's pretty well balanced, IMO. You are correct that the feat doesn't add the spells to your list of known spells, only your spell list. Being that a Sorcerer doesn't have Know (Religion)...

    cleric/rogue ideas

    Until you are capable of casting Divine Power. Can you be a little more specific as to the type of character you want to play? How much rogue and how much cleric? Honestly, if you're just going for uber-power, less rogue, more cleric is probably the way to go. The Trickery Domain is...

    Sanctum Spell - why so great?

    Wow, nice work RigaMortus2. I think you might be able to do it faster than 6th level, though. It'll take a flaw, but tjeck this out: Illumian (Naenhoon) Cleric 2/Human Paragon 2 Feats: Heighten Spell (1), Human Heritage (flaw), Sanctum Spell (3), Extra Slot (Human Paragon 2) I'm AFB, so I'm...

    Looking for an extra Move Action

    Tjeck out the Celerity line of spells from PHb II. They're, potentially, higher level than you may be interested in, but options for additional actions nonetheless. Either way...just my 2 cp

    How to level a wizard ? (feats, PrC...)

    It's decent if you're using the 3.0 version printed in the FRCS. The updated one in Player's Guide to Faerun isn't worth a slot, IMO. My recommended feats for a Human Evoker 20: Improved Initiative (Human), Extend Spell (1), Energy Substitution: Acid (3), Sculpt Spell (Wiz 5), Arcane Mastery...

    Quick posting question

    While I'm honestly too new to this forum to provide a definitive answer, I think here would be fine. As far as making your post clear, concise and legible, I always just follow the setup in the monster manual. It's familiar and fits a lot of information in a small area. Use the [code] insert...
