Combine item alteration (Art 4) with skill enhancement and you can pretty much have as high a total bonus as you want if you have time to buff. A circlet of persuasion grants a +3 competence bonus to Charisma-based checks.

Re: land movement Improved Grapple grants +4 and you don't provoke an AoO.

If a skill is a class skill for any of your classes your maximum rank is your character level + 3. (PHB page 62) Complete Arcane. Complete Mage. Draconic Heritage is a feat.

Dread necromancer doesn't get a familiar as a class feature. The Apprentice feat can't get you heal.

Loremaster has heal as a class skill, but you can't get it before level 8. With a sufficiently high Int you could get Graft Flesh as a secret and start on fleshwarper at level 9. (Wizard 7/Loremaster 3/Fleshwarper 10 is probably more practical.) One possibility for heal is Draconic Heritage...

I've been in a number of high level 3.x campaigns, and that's simply not true.

Fearsome grapple (lv2, SpC) grants a +8 bonus to grapple at that level. Immediate action, V component. Blink (lv2) should work. It can't be used in a grapple, but it's a decent buff in general and can be cast at the start of a battle or after an escape with some other spell (like dimension hop...

Shapechange. No contest.

I'm not sure, but I think Foxworthy is saying the same thing I tried to say in my last post. The player can have any item he wants. The character can't. In order to understand this you have to understand the difference between the character and the player. Do you apply some dice-rolling...

In 3rd edition DnD "gp" is meant to work much the same as "xp". When a character accumulates enough XP, the player generally gets to decide how the character improves. This does not mean that every city or wilderness village has hundreds of specialized adventurer schools catering to...

From the Rules Compendium: "Expert Assistance If you have 5 or more ranks in a skill you’re using to aid another, you can grant a higher bonus. For every 10 points your check result exceeds 10, the circumstance bonus increases by 1. To determine the circumstance bonus quickly, simply divide the...
