emulating a class is all good for UMD, so yes a bard should be able to convert one of its 3rd level arcane spell slots into a fireball from the Runestaff... it would just require the Bard to UMD emulation of Sorcerer. Arcane spell slots are arcane spell slots, there is no use of UMD that can...

Honestly, rolling of the dice only occurs when the DM calls for it.

I think the only only Fighter 20 build that can stand up to a straight caster is the lockdown build, and that is if the fighter buys enough magic items to give himself maneuverability and versatility to deal with what ever the caster can chuck at him.

Some of my favorite builds involve Sorcerer and some Prestige classes. Sorcerer 6 / Incantatrix 10 / Abjurant Champion 4 (ends up with base attack of +20 with full casting levels after buffing) Sorcerer 6 / Incantatrix 10 / Archmage 4 (metamagic extraordinaire) Sorcerer 10 / Argent Savant 5 /...

SR doesn't matter outside of combat when healing and buffing occur normally. I don't understand why you think it's bad. In the unlikely event u need a buff or heal during combat it might be bad, yes, but it is more beneficial to have it always than by buff cuz you can turn it off when needed...

buffing happens at the start of the day, when SR doesn't matter, healing happens outside combat (or in the case of a persistbuff cleric ally, you'll have at least fast healing 1 all day long), so if you really want your buddies to waste actions mid combat to heal or buff you, you're doing...

so you're friends are even less optimized than you? and this is a complaint against pixie or your friends for sucking? and the only way to "contribute" is by doing damage in combat? again, why is a 10th level character taking on 13th level foes? in your example of two hezrous, even without a...

ok, there are many things wrong with your response. 1. a CR13 ANYTHING is NOT a decent challenge for a level 10 party, considering that opens up the party to getting hit by effects that instantly kill them leaving them with no way to come back from the dead feasibly (finger of death = need...

+4 la waah waah waah level adjustment... +4 for the best race, not caring about the 4 levels (buyoff 1 at 12th, then another at 21) PIXIE best race for warlocks, beats the halfling over the head constantly.

when you treat your ranged attacks as melee attacks, what they mean is that you use your Strength mod for +hit and +damage, but it's still a ranged attack so penalties for range and feats that boost ranged attacks can still be used. So yes, point blank shot + precise shot + rapid shot can all...

1. When one asks a question of why to those who cannot answer due to lack of mind-reading skills of the game's writers, one will end up with answer such as: We don't know why. :) 2. Research it! It's more fun to roleplay and create in game than to just have it handed to you. 3. Alter self...

another interesting build, though it takes 6 levels to get going, is Scout 3 / Swashbuckler 3 to start, then when you start gaining levels, on the scout said take Ranger to infinity, and on the swashbuckler side take rogue to infinity, so you end up like Scout 3 / Ranger 17 // Swashbuckler 3 /...

I usually, instead of running an entirely solo scene for the scout, just compare his take-10 hide and move silently, with the take-10 spot and listen of any of the npcs the character could end up dealing with, if he beats them by 1 to 4, he learns a little bit of information but not much, 5 to 9...

Ranger 3 / Scout 3 - archer for hire, could also be a magistrate's guard captain or troop trainer. (take Swift Hunter as your third level feat; and if you start as Elf, for the 1st substitution level for ranger, you can choose from a few favored enemies that give a +3 bonus instead of a +2)...

there's another spell called Phoenix Fire from Book of Exalted Deeds, does a crap ton of damage by making you explode, die, then resurrects you the next round 1 level lower.

Knight of the Chalice is an anti-evil outsider paladin PRC, I think it is in Complete Divine or Warrior

An arcane caster can do it with the Archmage PRC

It was FAQ'd, it can only deal 1 negative level, per casting, to each creature it damages. However, this persistent buff would give you the ability to toss out a negative level at every enemy all day.

That one requires 4th level arcane spells, and a special requirement, and the ability to cast personal range spells on others is limited to arcane spells, not divine, that improve ac, saves, or grant additional hitpoints... not to mention you gotta guard the wall or patrol around the outside of...

that's the one that turns a spell you prep into a 30' ray right? don't think it works on personal spells though, but you could prep greater vigor as ocular and then dmm persist it on your buddy.
