    Dervish (complete warrior) with a scythe. Suggestions?

    One shadow hand stance. (And you have to be in a shadow hand stance to get the benefit.)

    Having some trouble with a PC & Deepwarden PrC - SOLVED (and in record time too!!)

    As written, an armor's maximum Dex to AC will not affect Con to AC. As intended? If it's not intended to work as written it would be a pretty glaring oversight from the designer. It's not like "dwarven fighter with heavy armor" is an exotic and unusual concept, and any experienced player is...

    Is Frightful Presence (the feat) a fear affect?

    Yupp.

    Level 12, All books are fair game. Now, what should I be? [Updated, still need help!]

    Divine Metamagic is a feat from Complete Divine (see errata). It lets you add metamagic to a spell with no increase in the spell slot used by burning turn undead attempts (1+level increase from feat). Persistent Spell gives a spell with Range: Personal a duration of 24 hours. The "traditional"...

    Best Feats for Greatsword Fighter?

    You can't take 8th and 9th level maneuvers. Like I said earlier the highest level maneuver you can choose depends on your initiator level and the table on page 39. Your initiator level is 1/2 the fighter level, so the highest level maneuver available is 5. You also need to meet the...

    Level 12, All books are fair game. Now, what should I be? [Updated, still need help!]

    20% XP penalty. Ouchy. Also, you don't need a CG deity. Within one step works for the True Believer feat (Pious Templar prerequisite), and paladin's don't have to have the same alignment as their deity. Pelor is still the only Core option if you want the healing domain, and his favored weapon...

    Dervish (complete warrior) with a scythe. Suggestions?

    If you want a slashing spiked chain the whip dagger (S&F, A&EG) would be ideal. You could pick up some levels of Lasher (S&F) eventually, and a level of Exotic Weapon Master (CW) would give you 2x Str bonus damage when wielding it two-handed. If that's not available the kusari-gama (DMG 145)...

    Level 12, All books are fair game. Now, what should I be? [Updated, still need help!]

    A spellcasting occult slayer doesn't really work. :\ You really want 4 levels of paladin, both for the spell and for Turn Undead. One spell/day may not seem like much, but with some pearls of power it can prove a real help. My suggestion: rhino's rush (SC), for the devastating charges. (Wis...

    Wildshape, what's the current ruleset for it?

    Looks like www.d20SRD.org has an updated version Wild shape: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/druid.htm#wildShape Alternate form: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#alternateForm

    Can you use 3.0 books? Book of Nine Swords?

    It also lets you bypass DR, but yes, it's not worth a high level feat by itself. However, you need a devoted spirit maneuver to qualify for the Thicket of Blades stance. An epic fighter using Overwhelming Attack can easily do 100+ damage with a single hit, so an extra AoO is no small advantage.

    Best Feats for Greatsword Fighter?

    Yes. No. Your highest level maneuver known is based on your initiator level and the table on page 39. To pick a 2nd level maneuver you must be initiator level 3, or level 6 (/2 = 3) if you're not a martial adept.

    Then we don't agree. :) IMO "using your off hand to help wield a two-handed weapon" (buckler description) is the same as "[using] a weapon in your off hand" (buckler description). This is "logically correct", it makes sense and I think it's fairly clear that it's the intent. That's why it...

    Interesting statement from a WizO on the D&D forum:

    1. Unless "revision data" refers to the SRD you can not play "3.5" without 3.5 books. (And the SRD doesn't have rules for experience.) There are no comprehensive conversion rules available from WotC. 2. If WotC collected "opinions and playtest data" before making 3.5 they did it very quietly...

    Best Feats for Greatsword Fighter?

    Look at the text you quoted: "In any case, if you use a weapon in your off hand, you don’t get the buckler’s AC bonus for the rest of the round." If using a two-handed weapon isn't "using a weapon in your off-hand" you don't even need the feat to benefit from the buckler's AC bonus. :) Edit...

    I don't especially like Defensive Sweep. Opponents tend to move around a lot in battle. Works well with the combo I'm suggesting below though. Improved Sunder isn't that great either, but I suppose it can be useful if you don't mind destroying your loot. Lightening Reflexes is not that...

    Dual shields

    I've never bashed anyone or anything with a shield, but I'm quite confident that I'd be able to do it with more power if the shield was on my right hand. I find it difficult to believe that any "handed" person would not feel the same way with regards to their primary hand. :\ Restricting...
