That's what I was going for with the string suggestion, earlier. -Stuart

OK. So, they're in a cave, right? ...and it has a bunch of holes? How likely are the PCs to try to plug up the holes? If the answer is "rather" or more, then: Let's say there's a breeze in the cave. It disperses through the holes. If a significant number of the holes are plugged up, the...

Stuff on docks: Barrels. Some of which have burst open. Piles of former-barrel-contents: fish, grains (wet), oil, pickles. Oil on the dock could catch fire. Fish could be slippery. Grains could make for difficult terrain. Pickles could be pickles. Goblin traps: Strings could be strung...

A Pixie Warlock/Spellthief would be nasty. Eldritch Blast + Sneak Attack... with sneaky abilities, debuffs, and utility spells? It would make for a tricksy encounter. Warlock/Beguiler would be similarly awful. Warlock/ Beguiler-Mindbender? Ouch. -Stuart

A Pixie with class levels has no racial HD. My take? If LA is on one side of the gestalt, the other side is levels of Commoner. -Stuart

Ummm... if you allow the Pixie ECL to take up one half of the gestalt (and have levels alongside it), this will be a horribly broken character... says a person who played a gestalt Pixie once... -Stuart

The Beguiler can accomplish many of the same effects through better spellcasting. Anyway, you want constructive comments? Shadow Dodge (Su) - how long does this last? Until your next action? Against that single attack? Against a series of attacks? Emergency Spellcasting - Something about this...

...and then we slaughtered it. -Stuart

The distinction, to me, seems to be a bit too fine. If I want less spellcasty and more ambushy, I'd up the rogue to beguiler ratio. The difference between your wraith and a beguiler/rogue is too small for me to bother with the former. -Stuart

Honestly? I'd rather play a Beguiler - or a Rogue 3 / Beguiler X with Practiced Spellcaster. -Stuart

Shapeshifting is much lower in power than Wild Shape... but, on the other hand, Druids with Wild Shape are arguably very overpowered. I'd say add in something equivalent to the flying form, but with a swim speed instead. Toss in a smaller form if you want. Don't let either of these do anything...

Hmmm.... Swashbuckler 3/Beguiler 11/Swiftblade 6 as a 20-level build? Feats: Weapon Finesse, Spring Attack (bonus) Arcane Strike, Practiced Spellcaster (must-haves) Combat Reflexes, Improved Feint (nice for Beguiler and useful in combat) With arcane strike, this would be a pretty cool...

Take a high level sorcerer. Offer them this exchange: Lose three caster levels and get: - ten of your levels converted from poor BAB and Fort save to medium BAB and good Fort save. - ten of your HD switched from d4s to d12s - a better skill list for 10 levels - +4 natural armor - +8 Strength...

I don't see either of these as a problem. #1 isn't a problem. The SRD states: "he wielder chooses how to allocate the weapon’s enhancement bonus at the start of his turn before using the weapon" I read this as requiring that the wielder use the weapon (or at least be able to use the weapon)...

I'm not certain that I understand what the point is... Just an exercise to see if you can do this? If you are going to use pre-existing classes anyways, why bother? -Stuart

Alternately, remove the Sorcerer's Familiar. Replace it with bonus feats: Fiendish Heritage at level one and subsequent feats from that feat tree (or related things) at every level divisible by 4 (or 5, if you prefer). Give them Intimidate and Knowledge (the planes) as class skills. Limit...

Some thoughts: A dragon is generally less dangerous in a lair like that where it can't rely on flight and its breath weapon. Give the PCs listen checks. Do any of them speak Draconic? They could overhear a heated argument between the dragon and the kobolds. This could let them know what they...

Fortunately (for them), Warlocks tend to be great at Use Magic Device - and wands of Lesser Restoration are relatively cheap. -Stuart

Presumably Eldritch Blast. You might want to check out http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20061207a&page=3 - Stuart

Maybe add the ability to spontaneously convert 0-level spells to Purify Food and Drink as part of the granted ability? -Stuart
