Thanks for the equation but you should take into consideration other exotic high critical multiplier weapons. The Talenta Sharrash is a two-handed reach weapon that deals 1d10 damage and a 19-20/x4 so my katana with your suggestion two-handed isn't worth the feat. So lets look at one-handed. As...

There is but D&D rules allow the use of one-handed weapons in two hands, so this point becomes mute. At my perspective and others like mine it seemed like the developers didn't want to look at the differences and just considered an oriental fine-crafted(masterwork) bastard sword. Though the...

Yes, you are correct when comparing medium, mundane versions of these two with two low-level characters that my Katana does win(+5 from 18 str. and it being masterwork), but D&D 3.X isn't ultimately a mundane role-play game. I kind of wish I knew what your equation exactly was but I don't think...

Discern Location wins with transdimensional spell as it includes being able to reach creatures in extradimensional space.

Yeah, I am not on the camp in which the katana should be fully equated to a bastard sword. I really think that D&D 3.5 really down-played the differences in weapons to automatically figure that an axe-fighter is going to be pretty much same as a sword-fighter if they have similar stats. On one...

If you want heavy armor than you need to get off of dexterity, as mythril heavy armor+ other abilities maybe at best would allow +3 to +4 bonus. Zen Archery allows for wisdom to be used in ranged attacks for accuracy instead of dexterity. Also, what kind of archery are you hoping to use?

A samurai is only worth maybe a couple of levels regardless of which one it is. If you have the OA version congrats that is the better of the two as you will be able to have a money-saving big weapon with a couple of bonus feats so that you may compliment another class and/or PrC that better...

What do you mean by pretty okay? Are there some concerns or problems you have with it?

Totem Avatar feet bind allows you to treat yourself as a size category larger for CMB checks plus additional resistance to them. Initiate of Kord from Dragon Magazine also gives a +4 size bonus to those checks as wel, ie you can consider yourself larger.

It wasn't that they didn't know how to throw, it just they didn't make spears to be thrown. They would throw rocks at small game, but the spears were made for melee combat for larger opponents or game. They were long and heavy with a stone flint.

Swordsages are best when they make a build keyed towards either Setting Sun or Shadow Hand disciplines. A sneaky warforged isn't optimal and one with adamantine body is definitely out. Setting Sun is a great strategic discipline as it negates and screws many offensive options posed against you...

Crusader if you want to tank and support. Warblade if you want to kill and kill some more. Swordsage if you want to be annoying and have the most(both prepared and known) of the base classes.

It sounds like this guy is kind of a grease monkey. Obviously a prime choice would be an artificer and you can have him use all sorts of gadgets. If you want more traditional casting the Complete Arcane has a five level prestige class called an Effigy Master in which you can make construct...

You could ask the DM if he would accept a modified Master of Shadows. Normally this is for shadowcasters as the feat, shadow familiar needs that casting and is required for the PrC. I would ask if you could treat it like the improved familiar feat. What this does is it majorly boosts you shadow...

You are confusing that with the Amulet of Mighty Fists, the Necklace of Natural Attacks allows various enchantments. You are still right about lack of item slots though.

Well, it seemed a lot of people were talking about it in that way. However what I said still can apply to many opponents.

That single item put the Fighter's AC at the monk's highest base attack score. So, you are relying off pure luck and the fighter can afford to PA. Also, it really only works if the fighter allows the monk to have a full-attack action. A sword and board still have many options feat and item wise...

Fighter wins because he can afford to be a harasser and still have plenty of item slots to fill.

Tenebrous to me is one of the better vestiges as it grants some great all around abilities. One, it gives turn and rebuke undead with a cooldown timer of 5 rounds making some of the devotion feats in the Complete Champion(Earth Devotion almost at will difficult terrain and/or caltrops) as well...

Well a wise and resouceful hemoscribe would store enemy's blood points always just spending one so it can mix with others and say he did it with this type even though it was mostly his own. As such he can easily max out his abilities when given a hour or two, especially since a few of them are...
