There's the Elder Eidolon in Lords of Madness. It's got a slight Lovecraftian feel, but you could change that.

This is gonna sound really funny. But in my chief group, we always used badgers. And when our mage got a Serpent's Staff (or whatever it is), we started singing the Badger, Badger, Badger song.

That's what he was saying. I haven't read the feat, but I have a feeling it lets ranger and scout levels stack for purposes of Favored Enemey and Skirmish. And I don't know if you meant to, but you came off as a little condescending.

Runic Guardian (MMII) comes to mind. Constructs are the obvious choice. But, oozes and living spells are a good second. Bound outsiders. Perhaps a dragon? Abberations are fun. Check Lords of Madness for some good ones. A giant the wizard befriended in his life.

Psychic Warrior/Pretty much anything is a sure bet. Any two full casting classes (wizard/cleric, wizard/psion, cleric/psion, et cetera)

My friend played a paladin that refused to kill anythng. Waded into battle with a sap and knocked out anybody who didn't convert.

Halflings. I actually told my players that in my campaign world all the halflings were massacred because they were created by fiends forcing unnatural breeding habits. At least that's what I said when I was asked if halflings were playable. Half-elves/Half-orcs. I've never like either of these...

I don't enforce them. My old DM did from time to time, but it seemed like he mostly forgot about them (then again, this is the DM that thought DR/magic applied to everything but spells). Then again, the people I play with aren't optimizers, as the fun thing to call them these days, "munchkins."

My group, including I (the DM), love the splatbooks. Well, one of my players and I love splatbooks. The rest haven't been playing long enough to really get into them. I was surprised when one wanted to a play a race from Races of Destiny (the Sharkim or something like that), I've only given...

Has anyone had experience with the UA skills variant where you choose your skills (Skill points + Int Mod)? Was it good? Bad? Anything to watch out for? Is all skills as class skills a better variant?

In Illinois, schools and some businesses take Casmir Pulaski Day off. I think we're the only state that does that. It's about the only good thing a Polish person's done for me. =P I'm kidding of course. They make for great light bulb jokes too. Although, if I'd say that out loud, I'd get...

This makes me laugh. In my German class last year, we had this dumb kid (I mean, DUMB) who, one day in the middle of class, suddenly started flapping his arms and squaking. We started calling it the Dirty Bird. It was so funny. We ended up with the Dirty Horse and Dirty Pterodactyal too.

No Forgotten Realms. No Eberron. Mostly. Sometimes we harvest from those books. Core. PHB II DMG II (though, not really) MM 2-3 Complete Arcane/Mage/Divine/Warrior/Adventurer (No one's got Scoundrel) Heroes of Horror Libris Mortis Tome of Magic Magic of Incarnum Races of...

Make all spartan "wizards" warmages. Or at the very least, say that all wizards are specalised in Evocation. Or just say they are sorcerers. Sorcerer/Warmage would probably be best for a spartan wizard. As for religion? Favored Souls/Clerics of the god of war. As for it even being possible...

Don't know much about the Mystic. Out of the ones I do know. Favored Soul with the Shugenja in seond. Spirit Shamans are wonky, I dislike them immensely.

PHB II Complete Divine/Arcane/Warrior/Adventurer/Psionic Tome of Magic Tome of Battle Heroes of Horror Heroes of Battle Eberron Campaign Setting Magic of Incarnum Dragon Magic Ghostwalk Unearthed Arcana if you count variants DMG and Expanded Psionic Handbook have some as well, although I...

Gargoyle might be fine. If you can somehow get the construct type, Stone Golem. Earth elemental if you can get that type.

A level of Marshall will let you add your CHA bonus to Init, Dex, and Dex based skill checks.

Font of Life is a pretty good feat for avoiding negative levels. If you're gonna take it, Unquenchable Flame of Life as well as Enduring Life and Lasting Life. But it only works against negative level affects.

I've always wondered why there are no Wisdom based arcane casters. And why intelligence based casters MUST be prep and charisma is spontaneous (Duskblade and Beguiler aside). Iunno something that came to my mind. I'd model the class off the Duskblade; however, despite my lack of knowledge of...
