If you're going to be a pounce rogue type, dip Swordsage. The Tiger Claw and Shadow Hand disciplines have much to love. The Shadow Blade feat will let you add your Dex to damage whilst in a Shadow Hand stance (such as Assassin's Stance for an extra 2d6 sneak-attack goodness) and using a...

I once did a complex breakdown of the maths behind Power Attack, but here's the simple (and much-simplified) version. The standard "benefit" of Power Attack when attacking one-handed is that you take a -1 penalty to hit - or in other words decrease your chance to hit by 5% - in exchange for +1...

There's Anointed Knight from the Book of Exalted Deeds, which requires the Ancestral Relic feat and might be a bit goody two-shoes for your concept. Similarly, Defender of Sealtiel from the same book has full BAB and good Will but the feat requirements are murderous: Diehard, Endurance, Servant...

I didn't really think it admitted of any interpretation other than what it said. Choose the creatures to be affected by the spell. Are any two of them more than x feet apart from each other? If so, pick a set of targets where this is not the case. I honestly don't know how you'd read it any...

I might try for "Practised Blaster" - good call! Unfortunately, gestalt rules were the first thing I asked about... for some curious reason, our putative DM doesn't feel up to handling what we might do if such a thing were permitted ;)

Dude, just pay a Druid to Awaken your mount! It's a 5th-level spell with a 250XP cost, it shouldn't be too hard to find someone to do it, or even to buy a scroll and get someone to cast it via UMD or whatever. One quick n' easy way to pull off your pint-sized Flintstone act, as requested :D

Thanks all for the suggestions! Are there any feats out there that allow a Warlock to retain his Eldritch Blast progression, a la Practised Spellcaster? I'm extremely familiar with the Tome of Battle: I once reviewed the entire book, maneuver by maneuver and feat by feat. My last...

If I've understood the question correctly (which I may not have done), the answer is actually "no", for the reason highlighted in bold above. You don't pay XP cost for 1/25th of the cost of a masterwork weapon; you pay 1/25th of the cost of its features. "Features" correlates to base price...

As several others have said, we just use the rules for critical hits. Where we differ significantly - and this has some bearing on the frequency of critical hits - is that a natural 1 doesn't necessarily miss and a natural 20 doesn't necessarily hit. I've always hated those rules, forvarious...

Actually, a lot of the PDF's that are floating around are actual OCR'd versions so you can search through them. And, for the record, I've paid for every single sourcebook I have. :p

Wait... You hear the words "Epic" and "Wizard" in the same context and you think he "seems a bit overpowered"? Because his intellect is high? I kneel humbly in the presence of the Lord of Understatement. ;) Seriously, any mention of the Epic Level Joke Book guarantees that the game has...

You're playing in the Realms and you want to become a deity? Surely all you need to do is take a ticket and wait your turn... ;) That's a distinctly... um... "non-standard" build. You know, what with Ur Priests having an "Evil" requirement and all. Not that Ur Priests being evil makes any...

I've been in groups that have ruled it either way: 1) "Yes", on the grounds that Rapid Shot says "you can get one extra attack per round with a ranged weapon", so if you have two ranged weapons that's two attacks, and also; 2) "No", on the grounds that Rapid Shot says "you can get one extra...

What's that? I mean, obviously I know what an apothecary is, but I'm not familiar with it as a class in D&D... there are so damn many these days :) Anyone who can cast Necromantic spells can make them into potions by the simple expedient of taking the Brew Potion feat. A syringe feature...

You'd be hard-pressed to find a site that has published the complete text of every spell, as such copyright violations tend to get stamped on hard. There are... "resources" available that do contain most of the sourcebooks, or so I understand, and they're mostly based on Andargor's SRD...

Rolling one die and multiplying by the number of dice is a very, very different proposition from rolling multiple dice, no two ways about it. Without boring you to death, I'll just illustrate that the chances of getting maximum damage on a 10d6 fireball by rolling "perfectly fair" dice is...

These 3E errata. Why? Google ""Tome of Battle" errata", hit #3, on the page linked to above... Published in September 2008. Presumably you weren't waiting that impatiently ;)

Lolwhut? How long do you suppose it takes a size Large creature (think "bear") to eat a Medium-sized one? It ate an undead in preference to warm meat? Really? You can't. Not this party. If you've got characters who are deliberately committing suicide, how the hell do you expect to not...

"Quite badly" and "yes". I was really looking forward to the concept: it's so rarely I get a chance to play compared to how often I DM that I'm loathe to let an appealing idea slip past. Someone in my group has recently played a PH2 variant Druid. Warshaper was allowed to qualify, but... the...

Hey, I don't make the news, I just report it :p
