With a HALFLING? You're kidding, right? Trip is Strength- and size-based and does not count BAB or weapon size, so I'd say Halflings are pretty much one of the worse races to use Trip with. Short Haft is a good option, but if you want to save a feat, just buy a Spiked gauntlet... Now to the...

How 'bout Bard 7/Divine Oracle 2/Druid 1/Fochlucan Lyrist 10? Requires that your DM rules that precient sense = evasion, but given that both work exactly the same, shouldn't be a problem. Using fractional BAB you get 16 BAB, arcane casting and bardic music as a level 19 bard, and divine casting...

Plus in an actual game, the GM wouldn't maybe allow a full melee character to take "shaky" as a flaw... flaws are supposed to have actual drawbacks, they're not meant for min-maxing for feats. The damage output is lower than a straight barbarian with the Power Attack/Improved Sunder/Leap...

Works even better if you don't use a normal whip, but instead take a level of Pyromancer for the very nice Fire Lash class ability. All your attacks will deal fire damage and be touch attacks.

What, a pouncing barbarian without Power Attack? Cleave? Improver Sunder? Improved Bull Rush? I mean, a standard combination for such a character would be grabbing Leap Attack, Battle Jump and Shock Trooper...

Sure, the whip wouldn't deal damage, but what about Arcane Channelling? The attack hits, so the spells are channeled, even if the WEAPON does not deal damage.

Karmic Strike and Robliar's Gambit come to mind.

I see VoP as a roleplaying flair. It is powerful at low levels, not so powerful at mid-levels and underpowered at high levels where gear counterbalances pretty much anything. And even this is DM-dependant; in low-magic settings, VoP will likely makemore of a difference than if you play per DMG...

Why, in fact? I mean, the guy suffers a penalty equal to up to twice his BAB for those benefits; why shouldn't he be able to do it? Replace Deep Impact by Shock Trooper, throw in Combat Brute and be a Goliath with Knockback (Goliath's racial ability more or less duplicates Leap of the Heavens).

Is it? Ever thought of a whip-wielding Duskblade with Whirlwind Attack?

Ever wielded a sword? Changing hands or shifting grip takes virtually no time. Nothing compared with drawing a weapon from its sheath and readying it. And as somebody mentioned earlier, if you can open your spell pouch, look into it, scramble around a bit, curse because your cell phone, chewing...

Better destroy people directly and sell the gear, but that's only me... In general, snuff the nonmagical stuff so your enemies get killed easily.

Master of Many Forms offers more schapechanging options at the cost of spellcasting... it's another style of playing. In any case, while Druid gets along very well on its own without any PrC, I'd always suggest a 1-level dip into Warshaper to grab the immunity to critical hits and sneak...

Go to crystalkeep.com/d20 and download the file named "Monsters by Hit Dice", should help you...

Hmmmm... maybe a Sacred bonus? Gotta read BoED again.

I think I'm just gonna roll my eyes and not develop any further.

Imaskari Vengeance Taker? Has the flair of the Assassin and continues your spellcasting progression (yet not fully).

Yes. Though if the power requires a RTA, I would make it more difficult to strike at an item held by the owner... dunno, maybe -2 for shield or armor, -4 for weapon, something like that.

No it's not. It is a broken spell, and I doubt any sane DM with a bit of experience would allow everything with it. I mean, Pun-Pun is based on Alter Self, y'know...
