    The Lyric Chord (zomg, one of the best bards evar?)

    Assuming all material is allowed, in the Lords of Madness there is a feat called quick recovery that allows you to make a will save(10+1/2HD+cha. mod.) as a move action to save from the backlash of Born of Three Thunders. On top of possibly a stun/prone effect and half sonic if used with an...

    Martial Arcanist Build

    However, it also has the best channeling ability at just one level, in which you don't lose casting. As for not losing either with what you currently have I think you are out of luck. I think you really need to tell us what you want to make.

    Martial Arcanist Build

    Whats your issue with those classes? I am not familiar with the dragon slayer but a dip in Spellsword is good. You channel any instantaneous duration spell you can cast into a melee strike. Yes, it provokes an attack of opportunity, but you are a monk you can channel spells into your arms, legs...

    Question About Maximize Spell

    Okay, look as what people have been saying you can't apply metamagic for free, unless you have a feature that says you can. What you need to remember wizards and most divine casters prepare spells in other words while they may be able to cast spells of their caster level but they can't actually...

    opinions of class combos, prestige & gestalt build

    He could be a fairly decent melee tank. The charging smite ACF trades a mount for triple smite damage. Then the Gray Guard advances and pulls away a lot of the smite limitations along with some very interesting things to do with lay on hands(direct damage, no save for evil as well as a couple...

    opinions of class combos, prestige & gestalt build

    Well, most bonus feats aren't the same or allow to choose from the same list. So, if they differ in any way it would be allowed in a Gestalt.

    Bear Warrior and Dragon Magic

    The Dragonscale Husk is a non-mobile and horrible alternative feature. 1. Its advancement is based purely on your advancement in that class you forsook your armor proficiencies. So even if you multiclass into something with those same proficiencies it won't advance, much less if you take a...

    dirty tricks attempts

    Well, be careful on what you consider dropping. It was a bad term on the creators part and never was officially qualified to know what it really means. Many would only say incapacitated or dead things count as dropped. Though the representative idea of knockdown and cleave do seem to coincide...

    dirty tricks attempts

    Combat Brute momentous swing doesn't add into power attack it's a separate bonus with its own system of increasing. All it does is add damage in the attacks after you charged in the next round. Personally, invest in feats that can increase damage on the first charge so you aren't dependent on...

    opinions of class combos, prestige & gestalt build

    Okay, just so you know what an Erudite is, they sort of bring a bit more of spell caster system to psionics. Under psionics you gain bonus power points from your manifesting stat which can actually be quite a lot very quickly. An Erudite instead gets bonus powers known like bonus spells of other...

    opinions of class combos, prestige & gestalt build

    You could call Ardents the philosophically oriented psionic class. Instead of schools or specific class lists Ardents have mantles which represent some sort of idea, moral, or state of matter. In a way they are like domains with a set of powers in each one along with a power, they have around...

    Elan Egoist/Totemist, a self-sufficient multi-damage pouncer. An Egoist is a psion whose discipline is psychometabolism which deals with a lot of transmutation-like effects. If Eberron is allowed in the higher levels save gold earth elemental arm graft that gives some durational earth glide A...

    Rogue//Scout Gestalt help

    Well I think he may want to take a dip in wizard so he can really utilize some UMD and spell trigger items. I mean he may get some decent damage it just takes opening up the opportunity and increasing the chance to hit which magic will give him in buffs and some control. He also may want to...

    Warforged and Mummy Rot

    Well, I guess the question is what are you hoping this mummy enemy to be in the campaign? Is it just another enemy in which happens to go with the setting or is he more of a boss in which you are worried about effectiveness?

    prestige, Arcane Archer vs Soulbow

    Yeah, another one for the soulbow, the arcane archer is one of the worst examples of a gish. An initial promise of increased power and durability but no way really to advance actual power. A soulbow also has base mechanical freedoms in which no other archer has at their disposal. You essentially...

    Trinket Mage... Great Idea... or THE GREATEST IDEA....

    I think he means what I said in #3. They would have spells per day like any other caster but these trinkets act as focuses for a specific spell. So if he was holding a fire beetle and chose to cast through it any third level or higher spell used would be a fireball.

    Trinket Mage... Great Idea... or THE GREATEST IDEA....

    I think you need to clear up some things. 1. So, what is the actual cost of these "items"? The same as the regular craft cost of an equivalent wondrous item? (Makes it insanely expensive to actually have the versatility of a wizard or even a sorcerer, especially considering that only he can use...

    Natural Born Killer

    They also get more use out of spells through their melee attacks. They not only get some free quicken uses but they also can stretch one instantaneous spell into all of its attacks for the round at higher levels. It is why they are known as kings of damage. They don't get as high of level...
