You can do the same thing with less MAD by going Water Shugenja/Warmage. Shugenja also doesn't have the armor restriction, so he'll be able to make use of his improved armor proficiencies from Warmage 8. Two levels of Paladin gives him Divine Grace, Skill Focus (Knowledge: Religion) and two...

I know you specifically said not Bard, but Battle Dancer//Bard is awesome and meets all of your other requirements. Build to Sublime Chord and you're practically a Sorcerer, but built on a far better chassis. Taking Arcane Preparation to qualify for Wyrm Wizard practically gives you the best...

I never buy duplicates, but it seems like every time I go through storage or clean my room or move house that I end up with three or four more copies of the 3.0 and 3.5 Player's Handbook, that absolutely no one claims to be missing. So I sell them, and a couple months later, I find a few more...

Wasn't normally an issue in my group, because when I was playing AD&D it was rare for a game to last longer than three sessions. I wouldn't apply them now, but I am inclined to stick to a modified form of the racial class limits.

I'm still trying to figure out what in the Hell being an ascetic has to do with being Good.

It was. My solution in 3.X is much simpler. You have one XP total and level up in all of your classes simultaneously, but the XP requirements per level are based on your class(es) and race. Yeah. Only exception was hit points-- you got hit points according to 1/X of your hit point roll, where...

You divided your XP gains by the number of classes, and advanced in all classes concurrently. Think Gestalt with a level adjustment. Since each class had a different XP table, you would advance in each class at a different rate and the system had rules for how to handle this.

Fair cop. The implementation left a lot to be desired. But the absence of kits and customization options really hurt the diversity of the game, and Prestige Classes were a poor substitute.

I consider 3e to be a massive step backward from the Player's Option rules, at least in terms of character options. I see the influence in the combat system, but everything else seems to have come from Classic and 1e.

Personally, I just went back to AD&D multiclassing rules. I like the alternate Favored Class bonuses because they give an incentive for characters to stick to racially preferred classes without applying a hard limit.

I was already thinking along those lines. It would give non-humans a pretty compelling reason to stick to their racial favored classes without outright requiring it.

This would never have struck me as a problem that required solving, but I like the rule. It simplifies things immensely.

The main thing with the Monk is that it was designed around the AD&D Monk class, which had been built with entirely different assumptions. The Monk's rapid-fire unarmed attacks came from a design space in which he could make all of those attacks at his full THAC0 while moving his full movement...

Greater create demiplane. Put a portal in the hut. You can either use the demiplane to link portals between your field hut and your stronghold, or you can build your stronghold inside the demiplane itself. It's nowhere near as fast as greater teleport, but your cargo capacity is effectively...

Another question. Our theoretical Wiz 3/Sor 3/Ultimate Magus 10 decides to take levels in Wyrm Wizard. Since Spell Research doesn't add spells to both class lists, can he alternate which class gets the spells?

I'm not referring to the spell research rules. I'm referring to the Spell Research class ability of the Wyrm Wizard PrC-- Dragon Magic page 55-- and abilities like it, that add spells from other spell lists to your class spell list and/or spells known.

Yes. I wasn't thinking to apply them to Ultimate Magus, any more than I would think you could apply the Wyrm Wizard's "+1 spellcasting" to Ultimate Magus. I'm strictly concerned with the effects of the Spell Research ability. Sorcerer/Wizard was the example I used, but the character I have in...

From the PFSRD: Does this mean that it also counts as bardic performance for the purpose of qualifying for feats and/or Prestige Classes that require bardic performance? Logical reading would say that it must, or else the Archaeologist doesn't qualify to take any of the abilities that the...

So, there are a number of ways of getting extra spells known or adding extra spells to your class spell list. But what if you have more than one spellcasting class? For instance, if you're an Ultimate Magus 10 and decide to finish your progression in Wyrm Wizard, does Spell Research add spells...
