7th level? Minotaurs have 6 Racial HD, meaning they start at Lvl 8, or lvl 9 if they have one level of PC class. Or do you mean 7 HD (6 for Minotaur, 1 for Barbarian)?

A +1 animated shield is a +4 item. For the same price (give or take the few GP difference in the base item's price), he'd get a +4 buckler. Not +3. And there's still the ACP.

...then they'd be screwed even if he didn't have Blasphemy, 'cause it means the Half-Fiend's Challenge Rating is 7 higher than the PCs, so they possibly can't win. It's a bit like "Wow, the Tarrasque could kill my 4 lvl 13 PCs so easily! What do I do against that?"

Yup. Though it's completely illogical. I mean, what's the logic in suffering the Armor Check Penalty of a shield that's FREAKIN' FLYING A YARD AWAY FROM ME??? BTW, I think you're better off taking the Improved Buckler Defense feat and using a buckler. Better cost/benefit ratio. +1 Animated...

It's unclear. I'd say it protects from incorporeal attacks, but not from incorporeal touch attacks. Of course, that would only be my interpretation.

Align weapon does not help against, say, Undead, or Plants. And even though you *may* have arrows made of cold iron, silver, or adamantine, how often do you *really* have some?

Sure. Why wouldn't it?

Not in the DMG, at least (don't have the MIC, maybe someone else could check?). You'll also notice that there is no such thing as an acid weapon either...

I'd say text trumps table as usual, so you can only hover with perfect maneuvrability or the hover feat. But it might also be a mistake in the SRD, so maybe someone with a real PHB / DMG might confirm/infirm this theory...

I'm still wondering what this thread has to do with D&D, mind you...

If I may suggest... Barbarian (Lion variant from Complete Champion)1/Fighter 4/Warblade 1 1-Racial - Power Attack 2-Racial 3-Barbarian - Improved Bull Rush 4-Fighter - Powerful Charge 5-Fighter - Greater Powerful Charge 6-Fighter - Leap Attack 7-Fighter - Shock Trooper 8-Warblade Warblade...

Uh... Break DC 25 is tough. It means a creature with 30 Str (quite a high score) only has 25% chance of breaking a net. That's not that evident.

Failing the Concentration check means you're too busy dodging blows to concentrate properly on your spell. You lose the spell, but don't provoke an AoO.

Then you can still take Improved Buckler Defense... It's IMO a much more cost-effective solution than Animated shield.

You'll want Zen archery, which lets you use your Wisdom on attack rolls with ranged weapons, so you won't need to boost Dex that high. Also try and take a level of Soulbow for Wis to damage with your mind arrows, plus the boost to your Reflex save should be worth it and it opens the door to...

I'll second that. Seems balanced to me.

Reference, please... From what I can read in the SRD, nothing makes a magical item immune to Shatter. Difference is, the item gets a Will save even if it is unattended. Coming back to the start: Shatter works on objects and on crystalline creatures. Body parts aren't objects.

Apart from the -2 Int you forgot, you got it right. 3rd party source, and would frankly be worth +2 LA (mind you, the Draconic template too...). Scent is an awesome ability.

Comments on oddball things I played, classes whose party role isn't clearly defined, that sort of things.... - Duskblade: A good secondary fighter, able to deal tremendous amount of damage, but with less options and less survivability than a raw fighter. Can act as a secondary blaster...

No racial HD, and only LA +1 for increasing all physical stats and the most important mental stat? No way. But here maybe a few things that might come close... Draconic template (Draconomicon or Dragon Magic): +2 Str +2 Con +2 Cha, natural armor +1, LA +1 Bugbear: +4 Str +2 Dex +2 Con -2 Cha...
