    Horses at high level?

    Spells that can get you a mount: Bottle of Smoke Mount (but the horse is not war-trained) Phantom Steed Phantom Stag Polymorph Summon Dire Hawk Items: Figurine of Wondrous Power (Ebony Fly, Goats, Griffon, Elephant) Feat: Leadership (for a druid cohort who stays in horse form, using Natural...

    So I got Spring Attack Now what?

    The feat that adds 5 ft movement: Dash Other feats to consider: Improved Toughness, Ellusive Target, Extra Rage. Be careful, though: No Tumble while raging. Next level, with a fighter level to give you enough BAB, you can get Improved Critical (Falchion), but your base damage isn't big enough...

    How Many Attacks While Grappled?

    You can't use two weapons while grappling. There's no exception given for natural weapons (unless you have the rake ability), so after you begin grappling, you're stuck with one attack per round with a single natural weapon or iterative attacks based on BAB, following the grapple rules that...

    Readying a partial charge

    "Hey, wizard, cast a Slow on me so I can ready a partial charge!"

    Decrease their Will saves?

    The Fear spell gives each living creature in the area -2 on their Will saves. Your buddies are immune because you all eat Heroes' Feast every day. (Right?) The one-round duration of the shaken-no-save effect expires just before your next turn, so Quicken Spell + Fear will help you this round...

    Contingency - Heal?

    That might also prevent my proposal to use Limited Wish for the Heal.

    Contingency - Heal?

    There's a different approach to this whole thing: Stalwart Pact from Spell Compendium. Not as good as Contingency+Heal, but pretty nifty.

    Contingency - Heal?

    Since there's no hard-and-fast rule for it, that's a DM call. I would allow it if the PC spent 300 xp and the level 7 spell for the Limited Wish/Heal-as-Adept while casting the Contingency spell. I would NOT allow it if the PC tried to claim that he didn't need to spend the XP unless and until...

    Contingency - Heal?

    Heal is a level 5 spell for an Adept (NPC class in DMG). You should be able to use a Limited Wish to duplicate the Adept's Heal spell and therefore put it into a Contingency spell.

    Question: Grappling more than 1 target simultaneously

    Actually, the wording of the Improved Grab ability only allows the grabber to make attacks with the remaining natural weapons on other opponents, not the same opponent (the grabbee).

    bull rush

    Pretty close. After getting shoved into the wall, pokey hero has three other adjacent squares he can end up in, all with equal chances.

    Any grapple/bull-rush prestige class?

    Grapple and bull rush often don't work well at higher levels since the monsters will often have higher BAB, Str and larger size than you have.

    Anyone know of a feat that grants a bonus 2nd level spell slot?

    Craft Wondrous Item give you cheaper access to a stat-boosting item (and higher stats grant bonus slots) and to Pearl of Power. This may give you what you need, which may not be exactly what you asked for.

    Spell Storing.

    I don't have a rationale for you, just the rules in the DMG. None of the spell storing items cast the spell at the same level as the original caster. Some of the items (like the Ring) cast the spell at the minimum caster level, but most items that store spells (potions, scrolls, wands, weapons)...

    Spell Storing.

    Unlike a Ring of Spell Storing, a Spell Storing weapon does not cast its spell at minimum caster level. Spell Storing weapons are listed as having "CL 12th" in the ability description (DMG 225), and in the rules governing caster level for weapons (DMG 221) and in the rules describing the "stat...

    Grappling, attacks, and Weapons

    The PH rules for grappling do not put a restriction on having a free hand (or even having ANY hands) for grappling. Bears, gators and snakes can grapple just fine, thanks, without any hands at all. There is a Rules of the Game article which does impose this kind of restriction, but you know how...

    Large creature bullrush

    SRD === Accidentally Ending Movement in an Illegal Space: Sometimes a character ends its movement while moving through a space where it’s not allowed to stop. When that happens, put your miniature in the last legal position you occupied, or the closest legal position, if there’s a legal position...

    I need an escape button

    The Travel domain's granted power only works against magical effects, not against grapple attacks. As a means of getting out of a scrape, consider a raven familiar wearing a Cape of the Mountebank. One of the many advantages of at least one level of an arcane spellcasting class.

    Pimp my 6th level Warmage

    A warmage is mostly artillery, like an archer who uses spells instead of arrows. Try this: Kobold warmage 6 Small-size Male Kobold Warmage 6 Hit Dice: (6d6)+12 Hit Points: 38 Initiative: +3 Speed: Walk 30' AC: 19 Face/Reach: 5 ft./5 ft. Special Qualities: Light Sensitivity Saves...

    Weapon choice for a TWF ranger

    Ask your DM if you can do TWF with armor spikes as both your primary and off-hand weapon. (The rules are a little ambiguous on this.) If he says yes, you can get more damage out of Flaming, Frost, Shocking, Holy armor spikes per gold piece spent since you only need to add the special ability to...
