I said "get", not "sneak". It was persuasion, not stealth; and the persuasion was involved in "allowing a +0 LA Outsider", not "allowing the Outsider type". The DM is expecting cheese - we have an appetite for high power levels - SHE just doesn't know exactly where it's going to come from...

You're right about the rast, StreamOfTheSky - you wouldn't get any of the extraordinary qualities and the flight is explicitly supernatural so no dice. :( Thanks Dandu; I had run across that alter self thread and got all excited for a minute, but there are only five Outsiders listed... and one...

So, I've got my Cerebremancer up and running. I've managed to get a +0 LA Outsider past the DM (YES!) and now I'm looking for ways to abuse it horribly :) I'm familiar with the Psion Handbook so I'm up with all the suggestions around Hags, Cloakers, Hydras and whatnot. However, now I've got...

Just remembered: I think the feat that radmod was talking about it Alternate Source Spell, which lets you prepare divine spells as arcane or vice-versa. Won't help with what you wanted to do though :(

The advantage with a spiked chain is that it's a reach weapon you can use against adjacent opponents. I can't think of any other weapons that do the same... but hey, it's far from the only way to fly. From the sound of things you're not going to be able to get enchanted weapons to substitute...

Why is a Swordsage out of bounds? You're not obliged to select effects that are overtly magical, after all! Anyway... why not go for a crazy-ass nonmagical battlefield controller? A race with the Powerful Build trait (Half-giant or Goliath for instance) wielding a large spiked chain with...

So... no. Using metamagic means you memorise the spell with a higher-level slot than normal. Only the Ultimate Magus PrC - as radmod suggests - allows you to sacrifice spells from one class to power metamagic used on spells in a different class.

Meh, if you're right, you're right: it'd be churlish to cook up arguments otherwise :)

This really ought not to be as hard as it's proving to be, but I suppose that's rules-lawyering at the sharp end ;) I'm gonna start from scratch with this one... Can the Whirlwind Attack and Pounce abilities be used together? I guess the answer rests with the hierarchy of precedence of...

Just, for the love of all the gods, don't forget: you MUST NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU HAVE A RANGER IN THE PARTY! [1] If this happens, you'll both be locked into an endless, grinding cycle of futility as you're forced to continually foil his plans, steal his pic-a-nic baskets and eat the...

Heheh. Yeah :D It's a diabolic trait: I guess they're playing up the angsty warlocks-as-infernally-tainted thing. :)

Given the lack of any other parameters, I'd say you just ignore darkness. You can "see perfectly", which - as far as I can tell - means you can see as though you were in "normal" light conditions (i.e. bright light) at all times. This ability doesn't appear to be darkvision: darkvision...

I call shenanigans on Gygax, apart from the "Why not" bit, which I think summed it up. Once you've met a creature and/or you've seen its description in the Monster Manual, you know what it freakin' is; it's no use pretending that you've done some sort of service to role-playing by bastardising...

Not a problem. First though, let me congratulate you: player-driven campaigns are the most fun of all when you've got the right group and it sounds like you're doing a great job for them :) I'd also like to give you props for not giving into temptation and fudging the die roll for the bad...

Unfortunately, the time won't ever arrive. The character's primary function is Psion; I'm going to go Cerebremancer 10 and then Psion or prestige class that advances it. I'll never be picking up another Wizard level. I'm not going to have a familiar though: I'm taking the Abrupt Jaunt ACF, and...

Feats? Not unless you're Epic: the Combat Archery feat does what you're after in that case. Otherwise, you've got the arrow mind spell from Complete Adventurer: Rgr1, Sor/Wiz1; allows you to use a ranged weapon without provoking AoO's and you threaten with your bow to normal melee reach...

I think you're getting your goddesses mixed up... I suspect this is what you remember; I don't think I've ever heard of any reference to Shar and a flower!

Damn. I checked out those racial substitution levels and they're not as hot as they sounded... Dual specialization isn't as good (IMO) as a Focused Specialist. You have to give up an extra school beyond a normal specialist, but you don't get any more spells per day than a standard...

Actually, it was munchkin-size, as in "Super-size me", but optimization will do nicely :D I wasn't aware of those racial substitution levels for changeling... that's a very interesting idea. We can't use Eberron stuff in general [1], but changeling is an approved race for the DM's homebrew...

Still hoping for some guidance here, so I thought I'd try to wave a build at everyone and get a critique. Before jumping on it, remember the "feat-per-level" and "once-a-class-skill-always-a-class-skill" house rules. The aim of this character will be to exploit Metamorphosis for all it's worth...
