If you want versatility, Shadowcraft Mage (using the aforementioned Mindbender dip to delay the Advanced Learning by one level) is an excellent addition, giving you all those neat blasty spells you didn't already have.

Why? You'd be replacing it with a Cure Moderate Wounds, which isn't an immediate casting time.

So a lightly armored deepwarden. :)

And the Favored Soul, also from complete divine.

Similar doesn't mean the same. In this system, spell casting has a distinct and specific meaning from a spell like ability.

No, because a spell like ability is not spell casting.

Unless your players are particularly good at hunting down evil fey, which would make it a lot easier, and less moral.

I treat him as a rogue who happens to have some magic instead of sneak attack. From that point of view, you're in a very similar boat, with almost the exact same set of immune creatures (undead, constructs, plants, oozes, swarms) and some additional ones (elementals, higher level...

I'm not entirely sure why this Maug is such a problem. Fighter: Oh noes! a Maugtripmonkey! Wizard: Really? (*knowledge arcana roll*) That thing has a crappy will save normally. ~~GLITTERDUST~~ Cleric: Oh no, I can't tell if it made its save or not. Just to be safe... ~~OBSCURING...

I'm particularly fond of pages 6-18, 31-94, and Chapter 4 if you're a beguiler. (Few players have been enamored with the spells other than the beguiler who had them forced upon him.)

Don't forget a couple Hobgoblin Bard1's mixed in with the back line archers!

It depends on if you feel that mimicking a summon spell is the same as casting a summon spell. One argument is that you aren't actually conjuring the creature with a summon spell, but creating a shadow creature with an illusion, which would mean the augment summoning doesn't work. Personally I...

Considering it's armor check penalty, weight, AC bonus, hardness, etc all don't change, then yes it is clearly visual only.

Agreed.

Assuming you're referring to the charts in the back? One of their limitations will be that they are limited to the feats in the PHB and PHB II. I haven't looked at them closely before, but here are some quick thoughts: Cleric: Healer Combat Casting is junk. If you desperately need to raise...

Ditto on this bit. It doesn't matter how much damage you do with your twinned, split, empowered, maximized, repeating scorching ray, or how much you supermount can charge for when you're spending three sessions at a festival/ball/royal soire trying to gather info, bluff, and diplominate people.

Or if you're a bastard, half golem (asssume the troll made it's will save to stay a giant and retain his con score). This will make him immune to mind affecting spells, as well as immune to non-lethal damage thanks to his construct traits. Anything other than acid and fire won't even knock him...

+0 LA Necropolitan. Basically just gives you the undead type, with no other changes.

This I do not deny. Actually in my group whenever there was a rules question, they'd ask me first. At the end of any explanation though, I'd remind the DM that it's his game, and as long as he is consistent with his rulings and everyone is having fun, who cares? (Though I admit I prefer RAW...

And much like the numerous characters that I build and never play, 95% of cases filed never see the court room, and 99% aren't played to the end (settled before the verdict). Eerie.
