Which criteria shall we use to determine this? Death Attack? Sneakiness? Damage potential?

Polymorph reads "This spell functions like alter self" and nothing in the spell description contradicts the HP rule of alter self. No matter if through alternate form, shapechange, wild shape, or a spell or spell-like ability, you retain your own hit points.

Oh, please... Wish has an XP cost. Plus DC only has max. CL 10, which sucks when it comes to beating spell resistance and surviving Dispel Magic. If you want a spellcasting FoR, go Cleric10/FoR10.

A few notes... - Upon casting Alter Self your mount can't become a phase spider because your CL is only 4, thus allowing only 4HD forms. Phase Spider has 5 HD. - You can't polymorph a 4 HD creature into a 6 HD Hydra. The wording for Polymorph reads: "The assumed form can’t have more Hit Dice...

And don't forget Ranged Smite Evil...

Three feats I've come to really adore are those making underpowered base classes worth playing again: - Swift Hunter: makes it worth playing a nearly straight ranger or nearly straight scout (Sco4/Rgr16 or Rgr4/Sco16) - Daring Outlaw: makes it worth playing a nearly straight Swashbuckler...

A nice, if quite common, build. Core Paladin isn't that good, because Core lacks the awesomeohmygodhorriblycheesy feats Celestial Mount and Battle Blessing. outside Core, I'd take Pally 9 / Pious Templar 1 / Fist of Raziel 10. BAB 19, cast spells as an 18th level paladin, awesome saves, Mettle...

I'd say Detect Scrying, Mind Blank, Guards and Wards, Mirror Image, Quicken Teleport, True Seeing, and Permanent Image so adventurers only meet his illusion while he keeps an eye on them through the half-silvered mirror.

Three questions, three answers: - One per normal attack. - The number of attacks you can make in a round, obviously, otherwise no. - No. No. SP abilities are generally standard actions. SU sometimes aren't actions at all (Divine Grace, anyone?).

Casting is not the same thing as using a spell-like ability. No. They are considered spells of a certain level and CL for purpose of Dispel Magic, Globe of Invulnerability, that sort of things. They aren't spells per se.

Lion Totem Barbarian 1 / Rogue 3 / Swashbuckler (Shield of Blades) 5 / Fighter 1... better?

Uh... indeed. Sorry 'bout that. EDIT: concerning the first build, keep your feats, make it a Halfling (better hit, better AC, no Con penalty), switch Str and Wis, and go Ftr1/Monk 1/Rog 3/Ass5. SA damage definitely better, and you get one extra feat for Improved Initiative of Weapon Focus or...

I have a ton of builds that could break those two with one hand in the back and one eye closed while shooting between their legs... which ones would you like? To stay in the flavor, here a TWF-based 10th level character, 34 pt. buy Strongheart Halfling Lion Totem Barbarian 1 / Rogue 2 /...

That was a joke, right? I'd suggest that you take a closer look at Leap Attack. Then at Shock Trooper, particularly the Heedless Charge maneuver. Then think about the combination of both. 4x your BAB as a damage bonus on each attack of a leaping charge (you took Lion Totem Barbarian, didn't...

Just a question... how do you get so many Feats as a Barbarian? A CL 9 Minotaur Barbarian (meaning 6 Racial HD and 3 Barbarian levels) would only get 4 feats.

:confused: :confused: :confused: Erm... am I the only one to think this feat is utterly BROKEN ????

Depends on which Prestige class you intend to take :D :D :D EDIT: enough joking. Wis shall be your best stat in any case. The rest depends on the role you want to take. Undead blasters and diplomancers benefit from high Cha. High Con benefits everyone, especially the CoDzillas going for melee...

Why on earth do you want this??? You lose both your spellcasting progression and your Turn Undead progression. Divine Crusader is a good prestige class for non-spellcasting meatshields, not for Clerics!

SRD states that attacking with a light weapon in a grapple is a standard action, and not something you can do using a grapple attempt. As to the why grappling rather than attacking... Grappling: BAB + Strength + Size, many times per round. Attack: BAB + Str/Dex + buffs -4, once per round...

The rules for grappling are quite hard to understand, but the SRD's pretty clear about anything you asked. Yup. Yes. A grapple attempt is an attack, a pin is a grapple attempt. Multiple attacks, multiple attempts. You can attempt damage as usual, at the cost of a grapple attempt. Pinning...
