An armor made of Mithral has -10% Miss Chance. Giving it Twilight property lowers the miss chance by another 10%. -20% in total. Is this the limit? Or can you further reduce the arcane spell failure chance of an armor? Some classes (most of them are prestige, I guess) has similar class...

See DMG P.105 "Treasure". A cohort usually takes his share of treasure (half the amount of one PC.) And that is usually needed to let a cohort arm appropriately for his level and survive. In D&D, many of a character's capability (including survivability) is coming from not only his own abilities...

The title says it all. I have ran it in 3.5e. I know that is a good one. And that is a famous adventure with very good reputation. Some friends of mine want to play that adventure but they only play (and have) 4e rules. So it is useful if there is some good conversion. Also, I am interested...

Cohort healer .. yes. Having no healer in a party is very problematic. So complementing that role with a cohort is a reasonable option. But a Cohort Marshal (or some other buffer), I say that is a totally different story:p

Right. But Cohort rule is more so than most of the other rules are. Many of the rules are optional indeed. But Cohort is more "optional" and specifically need's a DM's permission. IMHO, a play group should think twice before even allowing one cohort. That will technically let a player control...

If your DM allows it. Remember that Leadership & Cohort rule is not meant for min-maxing. It is there to complement the lacking talent in a certain party and/or for role playing reason.

All of them are really good. And the usefulness of each selection will depend on each characters. But I like the Heart most. Heart ... Breath weapon's damage is not that great. But you can easily add another die with a cheap magic item (Dragon Spirit Cincture ;2,000 gp; MIC). As you can choose...

When someone not either Sorcerer or Wizard (say, Bard, Beguiler, Warmage, etc.) become a Mage of the Arcane Order, can they cast spells not in their class spell list via Spell Pool? It seems that this prestige class augments non-preparation casters more so than to augment wizards.

Could have been an option. But I doubt it was actually practical. When WotC changed to 4e, they have already released so many supplements and were running out of new things to release. Unless, say, they have released something like 3.75e, they could not wrote more supplements which sells well...

Flash Frost Shaft trap in P.113 of Revenge of the Giants adventure does not have Perception entry. Does that mean no one will find the trap until it is triggered? Or, should I refer to Difficulty Class by Level table? If so, which number should I use? Easy? Normal? Or Hard?

I know. Maybe the author watched some highly fictional Japanese Ninja movie or Anime.

Thank you all. I finally dug up my DCv1. Lucerne Hammer seems to be a descent option, if not wonderful, as it is a martial weapon. Still, Pincer staff seems to be too good. Long Staff is not a pole weapon, just a quarterstaff with some special defensive trick.

Also, ask your DM if you can buy "used" wands with say, 10 or 25 charges left. For a one-shot game, that will open up a lot more options.

To enter Spellsword you need BAB +4. Wablade1/Wizard4 need another +1 BAB.

Frankly speaking, 3.5e core rules are not really supporting LA+X races well. But at least, the example in DMG P.172 "Other Statistics for Monsters" shows that an Ogre with no class levels (4 rancial HDs, LA+2, ECL 6) has two feats, not three.

Well, so, the trinket mage is, mechanically, more like a sorcerer with expandable spells known. With some time and cost needed to expand one's repertoire. How much spell slots are you trying to give that class? As many as wizard class has? Or less? The strength of such a class will depend...

I am not that familiar with Gestalt builds but .... what kind of capabilities are you required to have as "the rogue" for the party? It seems that there already are 2 PCs with Trapfinding class feature. And that 5 Rogue / 3 Paragon -6 Warlock / 2 Assassin will easily be the best reconnaissance...

Possibly. But they may just choose to become prone. Or use some other methods to move away from the place (flight, teleportation, etc.). By the way, the stats in Deities and Demigods are, in some aspects, rather week. For example, no deity has 21+ levels in a certain class and thus caster...

I cannot say whether if you should max-out social skills or not. The importance of those skills largely depend on adventures you play and the habit of your DM. As for UMD monkey, if you really want to, you MUST max-out or you may not able to fill that role. Unless constantly beating DC 20, you...
