Well, I was planning on doing it for PFS so no 3.5 or 3rd party stuff. It looks like the only way to do this is the quiggong monk archetype for the "spells".

Marriages, kids, and moving are bane to gaming groups. Unfortunately, that's teh way it is.

You are right. I built a sample crossblooded sorcerer and ended up with no 5th level spells at 10th level. That definitely isn't worth it. Draconic is better.

Given WotC's track record with alienating business decisions, I wouldn't doubt that DDI will be history right after Next is released, giving 4E fans as much reason to despise WotC as 3.5 fans did with the release of 4E.

Either go scout/fighter or ranger/scout. Take manyshot and greater manyshot as soon as possible. There is a non-spellcasting ranger variant in complete warrior. Move 10 ft, shoot multiple arrows all with skirmish damage. Watch stuff die.

Well it's Pathfinder so no 3.5 stuff. There is a sorcerer bloodline that lets you use wisdom instead of charisma for sorcerer casting, That could eliminate MAD somewhat but still have to deal with reduced spellcasting progression plus bad BAB and hitpoints. Kensai magus may work but favored...

I was thinking about making a monk/sorcerer for my next PFS character. The problem is that this combo is very suboptimal. I was thinking of modeling it after the monks of the dark moon (just cause I like the concept) from 3.0/3.5 forgotten realms which, sadly, they never even made a good...

I agree that the rogue doesn't need sneak attack to be effective in combat, but he does need something more useful in combat than some skills and imagination from a game mechanic standpoint, unless those skills come with abilities that allow him to contribute in combat to the same degree sneak...

I would suggest the crossblooded (abyssal/draconic) sorcerer archetype. That opens up dragon disciple with it's good hit points and ability score/natural armor boosts.

I admire your creativity, but if you are going to do that instead of sneak attacking, you might as well play a commoner. Anyone can do those things because they are up to player imagination and DM fiat. Maybe the rogue is a little better becuase of his skills, but it's hardly a replacement for...

That seems a bit out of line. No one is saying his players suck or that optimizing is the only way to play the game. He is simply pointing out that what the PC is doing is not out of line for a typical 3.5 game. The OP either needs to adjust his expectations about what his players can do, even...

I believe that the crossblooded archetype (draconic (blue)/stormborn) from ultimate magic is what you are looking for.

I rather like magus for novaing going the dex/dervish dance route using intensifed shocking grasps with spell combat and unlimited extra attacks a day using arcane mark with spell combat. You can even take one level of bard (dawnflower dervish) to get dervish dance for free without the...

Could you elaborate on that?

Well we all should have learned by now that WotC plus anything electronic equals awful at least at first.

You have several problems here. 1) Your DM is stingy. The game assumes, well really demands, that especially non-casters have certain types of magic items at certain levels. Maybe talk with your DM and have him either start giving you level appropriate magic items/gold, or tone down the...

I'm not sure about that. There have been and probably will continue to be lots of discussion about making 4E combats excitingand relatively quick instead of an exercise in grinding through tons of monter hitpoints or encuoraging roleplaying or thinking outside the box in 4E.

I like E6 too, and have used it before. It's not really a setting per se, but a modification of 3.5 that helps to keep a campaign low powered and low magic by capping character advancement at a point where the classes are the most balanced and before things get crazy with 4th level spells and a...

Your problem isn't a player "min/maxing" or "powergaming". If he was trying to do that and knew what he was doing he would be playing a half-orc barbarian going into frenzied berserker or a wizard, or a cleric, or a druid. Your problem is twofold: 1) trying to run a "low powered" game using a...

I didn't see anyone on this thread fussing about the differences between 3.0, 3.5, and Pathfinder. We are talking about if WotC is going to repeat it's mistakes with 4E or will be able to somehow make an RPG that is well received by D&D fans and is successful.
