    QD is a prereq for PA.

    Cool. Well have fun with the character. I would consider getting a pearl of power for the cleric so he can cast the extra GMW for you. I think it's cheaper than your magic bow.

    I'm telling you, go ranger/cleric ;). You will have a +3 bab (ranger) +2 bab (cleric) +5 bab (PrC) +6 (using your suggested dex) +1 WF +2 BoA +2 (cat's grace) = +21/+16. If you are concerned about not having C'sG for all battles, just get a wand of cat's grace. With two casting's of GMW your...

    How about a Ranger3/Cleric3/PA3/DWSX. This will give you access to true strike (for the bow that has it as a spell trigger) and hunter's mercy - FRCS spell for rangers. You only lose 1 AB and can take elf as a domain to give you PBS for free. You'll need a wand of true stike (if you don't get...

    What is an appropriate DC?

    I'd say DC 5 Str check with swim modifiers applied for encumberance. I would not allow taking 10 because if they fail, they fall.

    What skill do you take to craft poisons?

    I think the normal drawback (I think its a 10% chance) of poisoning yourself isn't balance enough? However, it definitely requires craft (poison) in terms of skill overlap and I disagree that it should be a professioin. Professions include things like fishing, farming, and sailing. Craft...

    Really nasty crit, or bad ruling?

    Question: would a simple calm emotions spell end the frenzy? I am pretty sure it ends the rage.

    I never said don't use darkvision or blindsight, I just said be an elf and stock up on daylight spells :).

    Combat Cleric

    If you haven't PC'ed a cleric recently, IME, review of the spells is essential. The fact that so many of the spells provide similar type bonuses, and those bonuses are similar to items (as you already pointed out) is a real head-ache to mull through. I currently play a 10th level cleric of...

    Nah, I'd go with Elf and stock up on the daylight spells - drow hate light and elves hate drow. Now if it were duegar, well, that's another story :).

    Really nasty crit, or bad ruling?

    IIRC, the great axe base damage is 1d12 not 2d6 but that won't really change anything (increases the chances to deviate from average of course). At 14th level, while that is certainly alot of damage, it is by no means insta-death. Given that the character was wearing a breastplate he is...

    Protecting my PC from Ability Score drains

    It specifically stated in the spell description in 3.0 that this was the case. IIRC it was uncounterable period, but it could have just not been automatic and require a roll like a normal dispel attempt. But I definitely remember something about dispel magic being a special case when it came...

    Protecting my PC from Ability Score drains

    Ok, this I am sure of. Unless it has been changed in 3.5, dispel magic cannot be used to counter another dispel magic.

    What skill do you take to craft poisons?

    Presumably anyone can take the Craft(poison) skill. However, the question is whether or not they have the use poison ability (such as what is granted by the Assassin PrC, and I think the Blackguard PrC as well IIRC). If you don't have the poison use ability you will be prone to poisoning...

    Protecting my PC from Ability Score drains

    :) I meant that I feel pretty sheepish thinking myself a rules buff and forgetting to check the spell description to see if spell resistance applies.

    I too have attempted a summoner build worthy of the name. One thing I came up with which you might be interested in is somehow gaining access to the Summoner domain from DotF. I believe this is possible with the Contemplative PrC. However, IDHMBWM and could be wrong. If anything, gaining one...

    Protecting my PC from Ability Score drains

    No I meant dispel magic does not apply to dispel magic - dispel magic cannot be used to counter dispel magic. Spell Resistance or Spell Immunity can be dispelled, you are right, after the person beats the spell resistance roll. Just because the spells are dispellable does not mean that spell...

    Protecting my PC from Ability Score drains

    Since when? I know dispel magic does not apply to dispel magic. However, if a creature had innate SR, I thought it applied to dispel magic the same as any other spell, no? I wasn't going to go into the details but since you brought it up: Listen Check DC -5 with the following circumstances...

    Review your summon spells. If you use a summon spell to summon a creature from a lower level summon spell you can summon 1d3 or 1d4+1. A free maximize or empower is a very nice thing. However, what about twin or repeat spell from T&B (I realize this is not SL stuff) but in general, that is...
