When I threw a Hydra against my players, I gave it one AoO per action that provoked an AoO. It still did a number on them. So, that's the way I'd run it. Given, my players were a bit short on slashing weapons, nobody had Improved Sunder, and the Druid's produce flame spells were the extent of...

Hmm. Not really aware of any ways to do that off the top of my head. Things that could be helpful (though they don't entirely do what you want): Go for a Mystic Theurge build, so you pick up a lot of the spells from a divine class. Play an Artificer (Eberron Campaign Setting), and make items...

Still doesn't really tell us what you're looking for. However, from Complete Warrior... Dervish could work if you've got the 13 Intelligence for Combat Expertise. Exotic Weapon Master, if you use exotic weapons. Eye of Gruumsh, though you have to be chaotic evil, chaotic neutral, or neutral...

No. This has been errata'd. They have Disable Device on their class list.

Levels of Sorcerer are a nice idea, really, especially four levels of Battle Sorcerer. Things like Enlarge Person, the ever-popular True Strike, Ray of Enfeeblement, or, for a person with a reach weapon, Grease are all great 1st level spells. False Life, Bull's Strength, Blur, and Mirror Image...

Well, for a noble-type, Swashbuckler is certainly a nice starting point. I'm going to be using a Beguiler 6/Swashbuckler 3 on Wednesday which is looking like it will be fun. He's going to be that party's trap monkey, while also providing utility arcane magic (we have a warmage) and being...

Power Attack, Cleave, and Improved Sunder. Set up Blackguard, in case that whole "redemption" thing doesn't work out. Force of Personality and Goad from Complete Adventurer - less likely to fail key Will saves, and force melee threats to attack the fighter rather than anyone else? Both handy.

Too bad you're going core only, 'cause there's lots of good stuff in the Magic Item Compendium. 13,000 gp, for a wizard or sorc... you could give them the first few pieces of the Raiment of the Four (Gloves of the Starry Sky, Goggles of the Golden Sun), which give them a few options for...

This should have all the info you need... http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/races/racialParagonClasses.htm#humanParagon

I played a Hexblade 3/Ranger 2/Monk 2/Fighter 1 in a campaign recently. He wore armor (ok, only a mithral shirt), wielded a glaive, and was dedicated to killing arcane casters. I got a few odd looks from the other players, mostly over adding Monk into the build when I was wearing armor and...

Education is the feat for you, from the Eberron Campaign Setting (and possibly other sources). Makes all knowledge skills class skills. Also, in your pros and cons... there is almost no difference between 140 hp and 135 hp. So, neither is really important. One thing you'll probably want for...

Sure, he could. And rather than getting a cleric to heal them, fighters could just multiclass or put ranks into Use Magic Device. The absolute most I would do, in epochrpg's case, is purchase a scroll of repair light damage for one of the wizards. Another option would be picking up some...

Duskblade. And the next time someone wants you to help them in a fight, point out that it's really a waste of your resources to do so. They should get the hint.

Personally, I'd probably let the search check figure out that something isn't right. At the very least, you should have been given a spot check (opposed by the mimic's disguise check) to notice it. If you got the Spot check, everything was basically by the book; if you didn't, then I think the...

There are an almost unlimited number of ways to go with a rogue. A couple of my favorites... The Melee rogue is a fun way to really ramp up damage. Weapon Finesse is a must for most builds. I like TWF for melee rogues. Four levels of fighter are a big help; you get an extra attack at level...

I love Unseen Seer. My preference is Rogue/Beguiler for getting there, but wizard is certainly good if you need blasty spells rather than more skills.

Luckily, Balance is a class skill. ;)

While this is somewhat true (you'd spend 16,000 gold to match a mage armor spell), the OP stated that it was looking like magic items might be hard to come by, particularly specific items. So it might be very difficult to just pick up a set of bracers of armor - that's what I'm basing my...

One or two levels of Sorcerer will add a bit if you have a good Charisma. True Strike is always handy. I mentioned Mage Armor, which helps with the lack of AC; Shield can help as well. Ray of Enfeeblement is great for getting the upper hand against another fighter-type. Enlarge person or...

Honestly, I might recommend something a little bit different. For example... Swashbuckler 3/Beguiler 2/Fighter 2 (Beguiler is from the PHB II, so, if that isn't available, doesn't really work... perhaps Wizard, or Sorcerer, if you have a good Charisma). Beguiler adds a few nice tricks - in...
