    Not by the rules, and I probably wouldn't allow it, since the thinblade is a balanced exotic weapon by itself. Possibly with two feats devoted to proficiency, but that'd be a stretch. Again, not by the rules. I could see it, but then you'd be using two thinblades. No, it doesn't. Its a...

    sorcerer -> lore master

    Not to split hairs, but the Wizard would only need to have Spell Mastery for six spells. Wizards can always prepare Read Magic.

    Ultimate Ranger/Druid

    It's in the PHB. And, yeah. I wouldn't multiclass them. They don't synergize that well. If I had to, Druid 9/Ranger 1, starting as Ranger to get a favored enemy, more skill points, and weapon proficiency, plus Track, which could work well if you Wildshape into something with the Scent...

    sorcerer -> lore master

    Opinions? Umm... think long and hard about this? Even if you take all three Divination cantrips, you still need to pick up four more divinations, including one third level one. If you enter Loremaster as soon as possible (level 7), you'll have, at most, 10 spells known above first level (7 if...

    Ideas for optimizing a whip based character.

    I'd recommend starting as a Bard, just to get free proficiency and the extra skill points. Well, actually, I'd recommend staying the hell away from a whip in the first place, but, that's not really an option. On the other hand, a real spellcaster does sound interesting. Spell-Storing whip...

    What balances the Warforged?

    Honestly, if I'm paying a sizable sum for an army of constructs, I want to know that they're going to take some serious abuse. I want them to outlast the other guy. Plus, not all soldiers rely on Strength (archers, scouts, etc.), but any soldier is better with a higher Constitution.

    What balances the Warforged?

    Symbionts are found in the Eberron Campaign Setting, P. 298. I believe there were others in one or more of the other books.

    What are all the sources containing options for making Sneak Attack affect Undead?

    No, if you're only allowed to spend half of your gold on an item, then you can't get any of the weapons I mentioned. The cheapest thing would be, say, a +1 Undead Bane Morningstar, which would cost a bit over 8,300 gold. Easiest way to do it is probably a +1 weapon, and beg the Cleric or...

    What balances the Warforged?

    It absolutely depends on the campaign. And on the compositon of your party as well. No artificer? Unless the wizard or sorcerer is willing to learn the repair spells, you're going to be hurting when it comes to healing. On top of that, they can *not* heal naturally, which is the most common...

    What are all the sources containing options for making Sneak Attack affect Undead?

    If the player would prefer to go rogue/arcane, they can get access to Grave Strike by picking up two levels of Unseen Seer from Complete Mage (the Advanced Learning feature allows them to pick up one divination spell from any class list). Allowing the Martial Rogue variant from Unearthed Arcana...

    Prc Technical Difficulties ???

    To the best of my knowledge... When a PrC mentions Class Levels, it is refering only to the PrC. So, in your example... +2. There is no rule regarding the minimum level for a PrC, but most are structured so you can't enter until you get your sixth level. Some (such as Complete Mage's Master...

    Ahh, good point. I only looked at Wish.

    Kensai build - need opinions + input

    I would pick something different for your backup weaponry. The Greatsword offers very little that the Bastard Sword does not, and the spiked chain would require another Exotic Weapon Proficiency to use properly. Also, since you're going with a bastard sword, one assumes you're also using a...

    This is the only one that really doesn't work. Yes, a Solar is capable of casting Wish, but only once per day. The best you can do is create an infinite loop of wishing for a candle, using the candle, wishing for the candle, and so on.

    It lets you cast Gate once. Bring in a Noble Djinni, ask for another candle, rinse, and repeat.

    Level 4 assassin-type characters

    Urban Ranger 2/Rogue 1/X. X can be whatever you want for flavor. Wizard or Sorcerer to add some nice low-level spells to the mix (Disguise Self, True Strike, etc.); Fighter to get a bonus feat; another level of Rogue to get Evasion and skill points; or even a level of Ninja or Spellthief or...

    Go with the KISS method, especially since you only have three minutes. You probably won't have time to fix a wish that backfires on you. Depends a lot on your character, obviously. A wizard isn't going to wish for armor. If you do wish for items, be sure to request that they're sized...

    Haste question

    Actually, in that case, if they had free will only in regards to whether or not to resist the haste spell, they'd be stupid *to* resist it. Let's say that the two monsters are alike in every way (lifted straight from the Monster Manual). If we're assuming that Monster A and Monster B are going...
