See if you can get access to Radiant Servant of Pelor from complete divine. Should be easy to boost your turn check through the roof -- Circlet of Persuasion, for example. I'd suggest finding a way to spend your ungodly number of turn attempts on something else in case you don't run into...

Thanks, Hyp! So, a druid with a Monk's Belt, Improved Unarmed Strike, and Multiattack could be quite fearsome in straight up melee... I inquire as I'm trying to build a blighter villain that isn't totally useless. The only thing Blighter's get out of their former druid levels is...

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how these factors interact. Due to the wilding clasp, the item will work all the time. AC Bonus - That's easy! WIS to AC + 1; Doesn't stack with armor. Unarmed Damage Unarmed damage = 1d8 This one is thornier. In normal form, making an unarmed attack still...

The trick to build a cleric that dominates is simple -- stop caring so much about your friends. When your party members are pleading for healing in round 4 of the fight, the CoDzilla's time is likely better spent wading into the fight solo, as they are fully buffed and can likely handle the...

If you're pumping CHA, you could invest in Use Magic Device cross class. Burning a feat on Skill Focus (UMD) and retraining it at higher levels would help too. Then just whip out a scroll of Divine Power for important fights and pretend to be a cleric.

Combat Expertise Improved Trip (with large size and decent STR) Combat Reflexes (with 14+ dex) Hold the Line I'd suggest finding a way to get access to the Alter Self spell. Then you can shift into a medium size race, throw on Enlarge Person, and go to town. Hopefully you can get access to...

There's a feat from Complete Mage (Magical Attunement or something like that?) that lets one use an item via UMD all day long once you activate it once. Seems like it could easily be abused...

Except the OP asked for a powerful cleric build, and mystic theurge is anything but. :D If you want a necromanctic cleric there are more efficient ways to build them -- although Libris Mortis might not be a bad reference.

If you can use the cloistered cleric variant from the SRD, a Rogue 1/Cloistered Cleric X makes a highly effective skill monkey/trap smith + divine caster double threat. You'll probably want to be a human to avoid XP penalties. If you're stuck on dwarf, the only way to make that combo work is...

I'd be tempted to throw on a +2 LA template for a quick and dirty fix. Doesn't require as much restatting as adding class levels does. If you're set on adding class levels, I'd just throw on two fighter levels for simplicity's sake. Grab another pair of feats and a few extra HP. Unless your...

CoDzilla FTW! The mighty level 1 druid gets: - A riding dog tank that can kick any fighter's butt, and continue to kick it at level 3 and up - Two spells, plus ability to use scrolls - Decent skill points with a few useful skills Not too shabby. It only gets sicker as the levels increase...

Agreed. In this case, a drow with leadership isn't a big issue. But imagine a race with a CHA boost (such as an Aasimar) exploiting such a loophope. Likewise, VoP is very clearly keyed to character level. Level Adjust sucks. The better solution, IMHO, is less direct. I'd advise to (A)...

My players have just come into possession of the phylactary of a certain lich (the Ghostlord from RHOD). How can such an item be destroyed by characters of 7th & 8th level? I think it should not be as hard to destroy as an artifact, but it should not be easier than sundering a shield bought at...

One of my players, a newly-minted 9th level dwarvish knight, is planning on taking Leadership. We're playing the Red Hand of Doom, and the group is on the eve of the Siege of Brindol. For those not familiar with the module, a large goblin horde is about the assault a city. He thinks it would...

Most of those tasks (ditch-digging, bearing materials from site A to site B, etc) are simple ability score checks, I'd think. Anyone can do such tasks with no training, especially if under some supervision. Probably related to CON or STR. Who should be better at unskilled manual labor? That...

That is not a great idea, IMHO, unless it is a one level dip for Beguiling Influence on your way to making a Diplomancer. Although Complete Mage does have a bit more support for dual-caster threats involving Warlocks...

Considering that they wasted feats on item crafting, burnt XP (valued by NPCs at 5 GP per XP), and spent some downtime, they aren't as far apart as one might think.

Your friends are correct in that bards are somewhat underpowered at every level. However, as you have seen, bards ROCK when dealing with social situations or with creatures that are vulnerable to sonic, mind-affecting language based affects (like many urban encounters). You've got your niche...
