"The candidate can not have deliberately committed murder" - does this mean that the character loses all these class abilities if they ever commit murder? And, considering the typical D&D campaign involves a lot of slaying of monsters, how do you define murder for this purpose? I'd agree that...

The OP mentioned that he was considering dropping an earth or air elemental in so the dwarf cleric could rebuke/control it - Earth domain, I assume. Also mephits are neutral, not evil. You could try talking to one, they might help if they thought it'd be amusing enough.

Restraining a soulknife doesn't require anti-psionic shackles. Perfectly mundane shackles will work just fine. If you want an creature that a cleric with the Earth domain could control, an earth mephit might be able to slip in and out of a prison built to hold larger creatures (all your PCs are...

Or read Mistborn - it's more tightly written than Elantris, and IMO a better read.

OK, doctors won't work. How about a dentist? If enough of the population is literate to support newspapers there is some print advertising - there's plenty of newspapers which date back, the london times started in 1785 frex. Actually, a newspapers offices could work in your building...

A doctor? A detective agency? A vacant office, closed for renovations? Temporary offices for some branch of government? An advertising agency?

Or reverse the invasion? Mages from another world have opened a rift and are pleading for assistance against hordes bent on their destruction. For a nasty twist, the mages bear strange weapons they call firearms and are wearing an ancient symbol of health and well being, the crooked cross.

I guess you're looking at an archer with those ability scores. If you are, I'd be tempted to sink most of that money into a +1 seeking longbow - you need a magic weapon, negating most miss chances is really useful, and you can't afford a holy enchantment. Using those enhanced gear rules you'd...

In the FAQ it says that Duskblades can use arcane channelling with any spells they can cast, including divine spells.

It might also be worth checking out how fragile your DM thinks portable holes are. It could be a right pain if your construction team gets sucked into the Astral plane while putting up some shelves.

NPCs gloating over the success of their evil plans can work wonders for player motivation, if not overused. Likewise seeing others get rewards which were promised to the PCs. Actually, be careful with these unless you want a scene where the dwarf goes beserk in the middle of the kings court.

Swordsages get WIS bonus to AC while wearing light or no armour & tumble as a class skill. Not exactly what you asked for, but if you've got the stats for it the AC would be very high indeed.

The errata in Complete Psionic for the two energy powers with typos in the XPH seemed sensible to me. My experience is with mid-level psions rather than near-epic binders though. Exactly why WoTC put this errata in a separate book is another matter. I suspect it was a screwup on someone's part.

Magic of Eberron has grafts which may be what you're after. They're not especially appealing IMO because they're expensive and they cost permanent hit points (& sometimes other stuff as well) to attach.

How would a GM decide whether an area should be 'devoid of spirits' or not?

There's an Arbalester homonculus in either the ECS or Magic of Eberron (can't remember which) - only about CR1 at the start, but a dedicated artificer could increase the hit dice, enchant the built in crossbow, and/or infuse buffs into it. Then they could give it instructions like 'ride on the...

Knight Phantom (Five Nations) is a prestige class which is mechanically similar to the Eldritch Knight but has more flavour. The flavour may be a positive or negative thing for you. It may not be exactly what you're after, but druids & clerics can melee and have a fairly wide array of spells...

Yes, though read magic negates the first (one-off) check - you don't have to learn it, only decipher it. But if money and time are tight, you've negated one cost and reduced the other to a full-round action. Also, it can be an interim step.

One more idea - if you can loot some enemy wizard of his spellbook, you can actually use it without transcribing the spells to yours. The spellcraft DC is 15 + spell level.
