    D&D 3.x 3.5 ShielMaster/Crusader worth for tanking?

    You really don't fully eliminate arcane spell failure chance you just reduce it or bypass it while only being able to wear lighter stuff. Duskblade is a base class that casts without failure in light armor it also has a limited list of spells to derive spells known and can only cast up to 5th...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 ShielMaster/Crusader worth for tanking?

    Luka, decide what you want. 2 levels of sorcerer only makes you a bad sorcerer and less of a martial adept. If you would have full plate and tower shield you would incur is 85% in others words 15% chance to cast arcane spells. Clerics do prepare spells but not the way a wizard does. They pray to...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 ShielMaster/Crusader worth for tanking?

    Luka, if you want magic and the manuevers you should look at a cleric/crusader/ruby knight vindicator. Sorcerer uses arcane magic and incurs a chance failure when cast in armor and with shields, divine magic has no such penalty. Also, the ruby knight vindicator class advances both maneuvers and...

    Is Rogue a problematic class?

    Problem is many of these shine moments really only effectively work at lower levels. At higher ones you have abilities available to other characters that trump or do better than what base skills do making a skill monkey only useful in off battle settings. I don't think it is a horrible class, it...

    Soulborn Reborn

    Okay I removed the attribute increases. I kept the abilities for references sake if I want to theme another ability after it, but I will be keeping the bonus skills. The way I see it is I want the soulmelds/binds to give combat feat/tactical like options while the feats and essentia abilities...

    Reach Weapons: Increased size, increase reach?

    The Savage Species dealt with this quite handily. Wielding a weapon one size above your category gives reach for that character even if does not have a reach property. Reach weapons of larger sizes wielding adds five more feat each size category above medium so large reach weapons used by medium...

    Contruct/Golem: Elemental Driver or Item Familiar Driver.

    Well as you implied an item familiar's advancement is based upon the character who uses it. So, unless you actively make it autonomous it won't be. You can make a body for it, but it won't have any class levels or additional hit die. You can sort of think of it as a commoner+. Its health would...

    Warlock/Barbarian Gestalt help

    There are ways to get arcane but that is Faerun's favorite magic goddess Mystra and her minions with that sort of stuff. Oh I just saw the uses a day and that it functions somewhat similar, but it doesn't say it actually. You could ask the DM to see if he would let it.

    Warlock/Barbarian Gestalt help

    Okay here is how it goes, when preparing spells you send out your spirit guide to make the spells known table then you choose how many you want to put in for spells per day. You have the advantage of spontaneous casting in that you can lose one of equal or lower level if you already casted it or...

    Warlock/Barbarian Gestalt help

    They count as turn undead attempts and spontaneous healing so they have can cleric feat abilities. Also many casters utilize incorporeal type abilities for defensive purposes. They have 6 base except for level 9 which is 5 not including bonus spells, that is good actually. Also you are a...

    Warlock/Barbarian Gestalt help

    That is actually possible, maybe not quite as much, anyway how about a Spirit Shaman from the Complete Divine? You can think of it more of a casting oriented druid with some pro and anti-incorporeal abilities. A couple of things that make it really good is that it is a prepared caster with a set...

    Warlock/Barbarian Gestalt help

    But then you are hampering your dexterity and movement for your armor if you plan on using eldritch blast. Neither of these classes have bonus feats using a feat just to cast in medium armor is wasteful and counterproductive for ranged characters. Is Magic of Incarnum allowed? A chaotic good...

    Warlock/Barbarian Gestalt help

    As a warlock you are hampered by light armor anyway (also think of your skill points UMD). You would incur the normal arcane failure chance if you go to medium. A paladin does offer a couple of interesting options, while elves aren't the best choice taking the substitution means being able to...

    Complete mage p. 35, you lose a highest spell known of your level to gain 2 more hit points a level. You also receive a martial weapons proficiency and weapons focus of your choice.

    D&D 3.x 3.5 ShielMaster/Crusader worth for tanking?

    1. AC only applies to attacks that in which the user rolls to hit you(physical attacks, touch, and ray spells). Plus there are different AC scores to remember your full, touch, and flat-footed scores. Full is your armor, shield, dexterity modifier, other bonuses that stack+10. Flat-footed takes...

    Warlock/Barbarian Gestalt help

    While it may not help your base stats much, have you thought about a Rogue with a little Spellthief? Warlocks are considered arcane casters for qualifications of feats and PrC's so you can get Master Spellthief allowing you to get their iconic steal spell to stack with arcane casting level for...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 ShielMaster/Crusader worth for tanking?

    Do you not know of the spiked chain and its other friends? Reach+adjacent square attacking, inherent weapon bonuses to tripping and disarming, and two-handed bonuses. You can use others but it is the ability to maximize you threat area without having to worry about what is right by you that is...

    Warlock/Barbarian Gestalt help

    No, you can't cast spells while raging only a few things can do that. Also don't use hideous blow it is a standard action effect so it can't be used with typical charge and multiple attacks. Also, you sacrifice the capability and reliability of a touch attack. Enlightened Spirit only advances...
