This is apparently a PHBII variant Druid: no Wild Shape. Some suggestions: Scribe Scroll - There are a ton of useful low-level druid spells that can be incredibly handy... but don't come up often enough to prepare daily. Scrolls give you a ton of flexibility. Extend Spell - if you use the...

I'm hoping that the Arcana skill reflects some basic magic use (compare to "Use the Force" in Star Wars Saga) so that the skill check called is, effectively, to use Detect Magic/Identify. -Stuart

Here was my (obviously non-winning) entry into the contest. -Stuart

More: Hexblade/Warlock oozes flavor. The classes complement each others' weaknesses and there is some good synergy between them. Beguiler/Warmage makes for a terrifying, well-rounded, spontaneous caster with a great spell list and tons and tons of spells/day. Binder/Factotum for the ultimate...

Otho shows up. Avos (or one of his actual enforcers) is at the warehouse (or on the ship). The warehouse workers are much more organized than one would expect. They don't want to load the ship without a direct order... and don't recognize the half-orc. When they show up at the fishing...

I still think Beguiler // Swashbuckler would be a ton of fun. -Stuart

Two suggestions: Book of Nine Swords - There are some great charging maneuvers in there. 4 levels of Paladin - Pick up the Rhino Rush spell from the spell compendium and the charging smite variant from PHBII. -Stuart

Also note: A halfling or gnome with weapon finesse only needs an 18 dex (due to small size)... which is pretty easy for a halfling to get by 5th level. -Stuart

Well, at level one, you stand to get a big skill point boost, so I'd look at classes that get 4+ skill points per level. An unusual option that I only recommend because this is a one-level thing: Monk. It sounds weird, but you'll get decent skills and HP, a +2 AC bonus, good saves, and Improved...

I'd go one further with this feat and allow it to add its dragon hit dice as caster levels (as per a weaker form of Practiced Spellcaster). -Stuart

Beguiler/Swashbuckler would be a ton of fun... and pretty effective. Warblade/Beguiler with arcane strike would be terrifying. Dragon Shaman/Crusader would be cool as well. Warlock/Crusader? -Stuart

Nice non-psionic combos (PHB-only): Monk - Druid (nice wisdom synergy, good spellcasting, and a wildshaped monk is terrifying) Bard - Fighter (limited to light armor, but all good saves, good BAB & HD, good skills, decent spellcasting and great buffing) -Stuart

Remember, some illusions work perfectly well against mindless things. Also, with UMD, a Beguiler can replace a Wizard if needed. I don't quite see your point about Charisma. Beguilers have less MAD than Rogues in my mind. Without UMD, another blaster-type (Sorcerer or Warmage or Warlock with...

Weird. Most of those roles can be supplemented heavily with spells. Take a bit of Hide and Bluff, sure... but don't max them out. That's what Invisibility and Glibness are for... -Stuart

The power level of the Beguiler totally depends upon the campaign and play style of your group. In a hack-and-slash game, a Beguiler is a good utility guy and combat support, but is a bit weak. In a game where cleverness, trickery, and/or social interaction take center stage, a Beguiler can be...

Why Cleric? Because he can heal? What about Bard? Doesn't he spend most of his time telling stories and singing? -Stuart

Among other things... one level of Half-Elf Paragon and three levels of Elf Paragon. -Stuart

Then you probably aren't Chaotic Good. -Stuart

Happy with alignment doesn't mean happy with the prospect of getting there.... "Yes, you showed me the truth... through a vile act that violated my mind and free will." Think A Clockwork Orange. -Stuart
