One of my current projects actually. 1. Dex 2. Str 3. Wis Build him for dagger throwing (dex) [far throw --> distant shot] with some melee in the mix (str) because occasionally you will find yourself in melee. Most multi-target attacks e.g. twin strike can be used both ways anyhow. Ranger...

You will have power attack with that maul, -2 to hit but +9 damage. That makes the damage 40.

Which doesn't make you sacrifice CHA.

Heavy Blade Opportunity

Well, you can debate over forced movement vs polearm gamble. I wouldn't allow forced movement to trigger as it is clearly stated that "Forced movement does not provoke opportunity atacks or other opportunity actions." But how about the fighter encounter exploits "Come and Get It" lvl7 and...

"They don't get domain POWERS, but I think they still get domain spells as Spells Known." they don't. and even if they get access to a domain (e.g. prestige class) it only means they get more spells to choose from. they still have to abide by the spells known rules. the PHBII option to add...

if you are full caster level: level 1 improvisation. inspirational boost. level 2 battlehymn (2 will saves for your allies) is nice. glitterdust. level 3 haste is obvious. ray of dizziness. level 4 d-door is always nice for a spontaneous caster. mirror image, greater takes an immediate action...

How do you guys see celerity in combination with ready an action - counterspell to disrupt enemy spellcasters? Is this possible even? E.g. Enemy starts to cast a spell. Spellcraft identifies it as a Fireball. Cast Celerity --> Ready an Action, Counterspell. Cast Fireball to counter the...

good luck hitting on human bar wenches with your halfling/gnome sorcerer. size does matter.

This comes close to the SC Listening Lorecall Spell (Druid/Ranger 2). +4 insight bonus to listen checks 5 ranks listen = blindsense 30ft 12 ranks listen = blindsight 15ft you could adapt this to a permanent ability dependent on char level. e.g. every 2 ranks in listen = 5 ft blindsense...

Check out the PHBII rogue option, it's golden for light rogue builds. Level 4: Disruptive Attack (Uncanny Dodge going to level 8; no Improved Uncanny Dodge). When you hit a target that's flat-footed to you or flanked by you, sacrifice sneak attack damage and apply a -5 penalty to target's AC...

Meld into Stone ... If the spell's duration expires or the effect is dispelled ... you are violently expelled ... Can you dispel a person melt into stone? Can you dispel the spell "Meld into Stone" of a person melt into stone? Can you use a targeted dispel? Can you use an area dispel?

The Spring Attack+ feats of PHBII (Bounding Assault; Rapid Blitz) are an option. Tough bab requirements (12; 18) for a 3/4 bab scout though.

The problem isn't the belt, the problem is the Monk class. Monk/Ninja/... classes should be: Wis to AC, to a max of class level (ala Duelist/Invisible Blade/Bladesinger/...). Then the belt would give 6 AC at best. A nerf for a lowbie monk, yeah, but good riddance to all 1 level monk dips and...

2-4 levels bard? Combat Panache! (PHBII) btw, a high charisma gets more mileage out of a lot of weapon enhancements of DMGII.

you mean feats like Devoted Inquisitor? strangely, no sneak progression ...

The Feat is a prereq for the Prestige Class.

Combat Expertise is golden. Exotic Weapon and Dodge are expensive feats for a paladin (I wouldn't bother with EW Master with such a low Str, Cha should be your main stat anyho). For tankage I propose Shield Spec (PHBII)/Shield Ward(PHBII)/Divine Shield(CWar). Cha bonus to shield AC, duration...

Fighter 4 suffices for Melee Weapon Mastery (focus;spec;bab8). Daring Outlaw of Complete Scoundrel is also an option. Swash3/Rogue4 + Daring Outlaw would give 6 bab; 4d6 sneak damage and +1 dodge. But my gold is still on the swash/fighter.

High to Low: Dex/Int/Con/Str/Wis/Cha Swash1/Fighter4/Swash2/Duel10 1. Weapon Focus (Rapier); Dodge 2. Combat Expertise 3. Mobility; Iron Will 5. Weapon Spec (Rapier) 6. Power Critical (Rapier) [C War] 9. Melee Weapon Mastery (Piercing) [PHBII] 12. Improved Critical (Rapier) 15. Einhander [PHBII]
