    Help me create a broken, munchkin character!

    Basically, Pazuzu gives you a free wish if you summon him by speaking his name (I think there's a chance of failure except for paladins? also makes you move towards Chaotic Evil, but that's ok in this case). A Knowledge checks is required to know this. Wish for a Candle of Invocation. Summon...

    Help me create a broken, munchkin character!

    Actually, now he's a level 1 Paladin that makes a Knowledge (The Planes) check (DC 35?) to summon Pazuzu.

    Multi-classing and skill rank maximums

    Right, and you can also buy your Handle Animal or any other Ranger class skill up to 8 as, but you may have to pay 2 skill pts as normal for buying CC skills.

    Psionic Monk build questions...

    Well, it depends on whether you want the War Mind abilities or the Slayer abilities. With Superior Unarmed Strike and a Monk's Belt, you need 11 levels of "Monk" to get that 2d10 damage. So, you could go with Monk 2/Psychic Warrior 4/Slayer 10/Psychic Warrior +4, and end up with 18th level...

    PsyWar Polearm Build

    Well, it's good if you can get this damage progression on your weapon. -2 attack for 18 damage? That's pretty good. Unfortunately, I don't think you can Monkey Grip an unarmed attack. If you can't Monkey Grip the unarmed attack, Monkey Grip the Monk. As for powers, I'd also recommend...

    What would be better for this build?

    I just found this build on the CharOp forums: Might be something to look at.

    PsyWar Polearm Build

    Monkey Grip is not a good feat unless you're getting 2d6 damage off it (usually, that means you wield a Gargantuan Halberd before Monkey Grip). For a 1d8 Halberd, for example, you get a permanent -2 attack for an additional 2.5 average damage. Compare with Power Attack, where you have the...

    Monk variant, balanced off warlock

    Don't forget they won't qualify for PrCs that require a power point reserve unless you explicitly state it. Honestly, I think that's more trouble than it's worth. There aren't that many effects that remove power points (I can think of 3, one of which (Psionic Hole) won't apply and the other...

    Monks and AC

    Quick idea for +20 weapon: +1 Composite Longbow of Splitting (+3) Force (+2) Speed (+3) Collision (+2) Flaming (+1) Frost (+1) Shock (+1) Corrosive (+1) Screaming (+1) Psychokinetic (+1) Eager (+1) Exit Wound (+2). After a GMW, that's 1d8+10+5d6+2d4 (average: 37, automatically overcomes DR...

    Monks and AC

    This absolutely cannot be right. For one thing, from the FAQ: Of course, some don't think the FAQ is authoritative, so I'll also bring in the argument from balance. We're talking about having weapons that should cost far more than your entire WBL, much less compared to a weapon a normal...

    PsyWar Polearm Build

    You also want Martial Stance (Thicket of Blades) from Tome of Battle ASAP (Level 12?). That + Stand Still = fantastic. As for other feats, you can't go wrong with Combat Reflexes and Stand Still. Overchannel is good, but I don't recommend Talented. I also don't recommend the Combat Focus...

    Planned novels to bridge the edition leap?

    In the latest Drizzt book, he's still around post-Spellplague 100 years afterwards. You can read about it in the previews on the WotC website. His friends, however, will not age as well. Cattie-Brie, for instance, chose the worst time to multiclass into Wizard. Wulfgar went back to the...

    Need quick Book of Nine Swords multi-classes help

    For #1: No. From the class descriptions, it suggests the maneuvers are specific to a class, and each class's readied maneuvers can only come from that class's maneuvers known. Also, see Page 40, under Recovering Expended Maneuvers, which says to keep track of readied, expended, and recovered...

    What would be better for this build?

    Your caster level is 2x your Chameleon level. So yes, you end up with CL 20 at 15 HD. (Bloodline levels, GO!) Unfortunately, that doesn't let you qualify for feats. To do that, you can take Practiced Spellcaster on either your Paladin or your Bard, which gives you CL 5. That's enough to...

    What would be better for this build?

    Here's another idea. If you have access to Races of Destiny, why not do something like Bard 1/Paladin 4/Chameleon 10/X 5? If the X is a full BAB class or Prestige Class (I recommend at least 1 level of Horizon Walker for immunity to fatigue), you end up with 16 BAB at level 20. You only get 5...

    Monk variant, balanced off warlock

    Well, how else is the DM going to mess with them? ;) Eh, if you really want to give them psionic focus without PP, I guess that's not a big deal. I like the consistency though, and the tough DMs will enjoy the added opportunities.

    D&D 4E Testing "Try 4e" house rules

    Be warned that doing this will make reroll effects a lot better for casters and a lot worse for defenders since now spell "attack" failures can be rerolled but successes probably can't. You may need to change reroll save effects to force your enemy to reroll the spell "attack".

    Monk variant, balanced off warlock

    Just give the new Monk the Wild Talent feat, like Soulknives. That'll let them take psionic feats too.

    D&D 4E Testing "Try 4e" house rules

    Well, yes, but if you're planning on taking a Prestige Class, it's not as big a deal. For instance, Fighter 2/Barbarian 1/Psychic Warrior 2 can be a good lead-in to War Mind 10. You get 4 bonus feats, Rage 1/day (more with a feat), and losing higher level class abilities isn't such a big deal...

    Monks and AC

    Well, maybe, but that's still not a Monk build. And while I'm a fan of most parts of Hyperconcious (what was Bruce thinking when he wrote Call Beast of the Id?), let's not delve into the near-infinite space of 3rd party material, shall we? He said it well :). Ah, right. The main source of...
