    One shot, one kill !!

    The only damage boosting feat I can think of (other than the obvious Weapon Specialization) is Divine Might (CW). (Yes, it works on ranged weapons.) There are some prestige classes that could help. Deepwood sniper (MotW) gives you a 4x critical on level 2 and 5x on level 7. Peerless archer...

    Fast Intimidation?

    There's the Frightful Presence feat in Draconomicon, and the Dreadful Wrath regional feat from Player's Guide to Faerun. Both give you a frightful presence type ability. Edit: Too slow. How embarrasing. Must preview. :)

    Why take the Agile Shield Fighter feat?

    Not really. That's not what it says, and according to the official FAQ, that's not what it means. (Nor would it make sense from an in-game POV.)

    Change Weapon focus or Specialization

    Polymorph any object doesn't work on magic items in 3.5 . Edit: The morphing weapon ability (+1, Underdark) can accomplish the same thing.

    CL 16 gish spell list

    Which books can you use? What kind of character is it? (Multiclassing? Wizard or sorcerer? Ability scores? Feats? Equipment?)

    Good archer builds?

    Bad logic. A normal ranged attack uses a standard action. (So does casting most spells, the Manyshot feat, turning undead and many other actions.) It does not follow that you can substitute the attacks in a full attack action with any action that requires a standard action. Nor does it mean...

    Good archer builds?

    CCS is not a "must". An archer should be staying away from melee range. If he does end up in melee he should back away (tumble + Manyshot maybe). If he absolutely wants to keep making full attacks he can usually just take a 5' step. (That said, it's not a bad ability to have, "just in case".)

    Good archer builds?

    Rapid Shot gives you one extra attack when using the full attack action with a ranged weapon. Manyshot is a standard action. Thus, you can't combine them.

    Who do you consider an Anti-Hero in fiction?

    Titus Pullo, from HBO's Rome series.

    Looking for lore/secret focused PrCs

    The cataclysm mage PrC from the Eberron Explorer's Handbook fits, but it's very campaign specific and IMO it's not a well designed class.

    Good archer builds?

    The deepwood sniper doesn't have an "ignore cover thing". You're probably thinking of the peerless archer. (My conversion.)

    Good archer builds?

    I don't think replacing the intuit direction and wilderness lore (3.0) skills with survival (3.5) is that much of a task. I don't see anything else that needs conversion. *** As for potent archers, Champions of Ruin has the Justice of Weald and Woe PrC. It grants some decent abilities and...

    D&D 3.x Good Melee Builds For Low-Wealth 3.5 Campaigns?

    Is a front-line melee fighting build using full (or near full) spellcasting progression acceptable? Are you making a new 14th level character? (And why don't/didn't your artificer make more magic items?)

    Max melee damage at 1st level - core vs. non-core

    Yarr! That ye did! :o

    Max melee damage at 1st level - core vs. non-core

    I don't think this kind of challenge will reveal anything meaningful about core vs. non-core. Max "best-case" damage has little or nothing to do with game balance. Also, in my experience the end result depends mostly on how the OP is interpreted and how cheesy you're willing to get. In that...

    Armed attacks with weapons & claws

    Me neither. Probably because it does get 8 attacks in 1 round. :) For an example, see the troll hunter from the MM/SRD:

    Armed attacks with weapons & claws

    SRD: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#manufacturedWeapons In your example I see no reason why the fighter wouldn't get 4 attacks.

    Anti-Magic Field

    What they relly need are a few no-magic melee monsters backing them up. Even a basic troll can be a serious threat when you don't have any magic.

    Advice on Rogue/Druid/Warshaper build

    None of the basic ways of qualifying for warshaper (like druid wild shape) strike me as especially underpowered, so that's not a big sacrifice. And if a race is balanced at LA +1 or more then it's not really a "cost" either. But obviously YMMV. One extra attack isn't going to help that much...

    Advice on Rogue/Druid/Warshaper build

    I don't see how this could make an effective character. All your equipment will meld when you shapeshift, and you only get one natural attack. I really think a changeling or shifter character would be better. (You don't want to qualify for warshaper with a shapechanging race, but a one-level...
