Any number of ways. Ask yourself a couple of questions, first: What flavor/theme do you want the island to have? There's a few basic routes that directly impact how the island works and it's method of propulsion. Magical Theme: Island uses lots of magic. However it's done, it's magical. So...

Not directly that I know of, no. Very few of the non-core base classes got alternate class features or spell list expansions. Various PrC's and feats can do so, but they're going to be general arcane, not beguiler-specific. The Bloodline feats from Dragon Compendium, Mother Cyst from Libris...

For the most part, exciting is done by way of fluff description. "Make or Break" die-rolls can be exciting, but they'll only be so if the people involved are already deeply involved in the roll beforehand. So it's a matter of describing running through the woods at a breakneck pace, the...

As a d12, yes, if you re-roll the results of the 13-20, and the die is a fair die. You could potentially end up re-rolling for a very long time, however.

Well, it's from Complete Divine. I don't think it ever made any of the WOTC previews, though, so you're pretty much stuck purchasing the book.

Do note that you'll need Improved Familiar for that, in an AMF, as most familiars are too small to actually threaten on their own. Of course, if the Wizard thought to craft a Golem or three somewhere along the line, *those* are mostly unaffected by an AMF....

Do note that I said "can", not "will". It depends on who's doing the writing, directing, drawing, acting, and/or special effects... and most importantly, who's judging. The character makes a sufficient quantity of money for his IP owners that I feel confident in saying there's a great many...

As a character in a work of fiction, he's fine if the author is skilled. As a character in a multiple player Pen & Pencil RPG, he doesn't do so hot. He's very nearly the epitome of the "Anything you can do, I can do better"; he *is* a deus ex machia. If you check your comic character...

Not really needed - NE Druids are quite viable, and most Druid PrC's don't add alignment restrictions. There's the Blighter from Complete Divine, but it's... not worthwhile, and seems to be more intended as a flavorful adversary for a nature-friendly party than it is a PC PrC.

It does. You need the Arcane Preparation feat to enter. Three feats, instead of two, for spontaneous caster entry. Ah, looks like it does. Guess I didn't remember it correctly. Oh well. If it loses the full four caster levels, it's not much of a problem. If it doesn't, it is. But yes...

The Mage of the Arcane Order can, sort-of (as can the ... what was the setting-specific one... Guild Mage of Waterdeep?). There's a number of Bloodline feats in Dragon Compendium that'll add to your spells known, irrespective of whether or not they're on your class list. There's also a number of...

It's mostly in reflex saves, land speed, AC, and the other passive defenses the Monk gets. Ninja//Druid is a killer, though. Wildshape into something with a lot of attacks and pounce... then use the Ninja Ki Ghost Strike (or was it Ghost Step) to go invisible as a Swift action and Pounce...

Probably a Sorcerer//(possibly variant) Paladin//Ninja Trapfinding, a little healing, full Charisma-based spellcasting, Charisma to saves, and with a feat, Charisma to AC, as well.

OK... if everyone involved is both well experienced and not a jerk, it doesn't cause a problem. That I'll agree with. Of course, under those circumstances, neither does an Incantatrix build, a pun-pun build, nor a DMM(Persistent Spell) cleric with AMF and the Initiate of Mystria feat. If...

Define overpowered, as you're using it, please. The definition I'm using is "Stronger than the base class it's applied to" - which this pretty much is, with a Sorcerer entry (which seems to be the intent, and is one of the easier ways to get in).

Very little of note. If you're going to insist on that, you're insisting on a PrC that is going to be very, very close to strictly better than the base class. WOTC made the same mistake fairly often. Full Spellcasting + Useful class features = stronger than the base class in the vast majority...

Short critique: Annoying (but reasonably simple) to qualify for. Gives lots of very useful features for very little cost. Not balanced. Really rare to meet the "No Evocation" bit, unless you're VERY specifically going for this PrC. Even the Beguiler gets at least one Evocation spell: Dancing...

Ironically, that is completely reversed with thrown weapons, which do damage based on their size (no launcher). Do NOT look to D&D for consistency in physics.

They also do damage based on the weapon that fired them, not their current size. Which, by extrapolation from the known in-flight size-changing effects, using grapeshot of shrunken boulders might look impressive, but it'll do no more damage than normal grapeshot. By further extrapolation from...

Doesn't shuffling something into a deck of cards normally involved pulling off the top half of the Deck?
