    Stat Penalties and Wildshape

    I have a player that wants to play a Jermlain Druid. Before I say yes to this, I want to know what to expect. The stat bonuses are -8Str, +6 Dex, -2 Con, -2 Int, +6 Wis, -6 Cha. Will all of the penalties be erased once Wildshaped? Does he keep his own HP when wildshaped? Will having a...

    Making Animal Companion Useful With Only 4 Levels of Ranger

    I would like to make a build that is essentially a ToB Ranger. My plan is Ranger 4/Warblade 11/Bloodclaw Master 5 and I would like to have my animal companion be useful. Is there a way to increase my effective druid level? I have heard of a feat (Wild Cohort, maybe?) that grants an animal...

    How Useful is Intimidate?

    I have a +4 modifier to Intimidate due to a class feature, but the rest of my build does not give any support to the intimidate skill. Is it viable to simply put max ranks into it without any supporting feats?

    Bestowing Negative Levels with Magic Weapons

    I am currently wielding Souldrinker (I am immune to energy drain) and I would like to further enhance it to bestow negative levels. I am aware of the Souldrinking property from BoVD, but I would like to know if there are any other, similar enhancements.

    Using Creation and Fabricate

    I would like to try a Psion Shaper. I was wondering what types of uses are there (in and out of combat) for the powers Minor Creation, Major Creation, True Creation, Fabricate, and Greater Fabricate? It seems that they can be quite good for generating wealth via selling false goods, or...

    Domains not in SpC or PHB

    Does anyone know of a list of domains that are useful and not included in the Spell Compendium or Player's Handbook? I'm looking, specifically, for a Cleric dedicated to the cause Lawfulness and a Cleric that specializes in undead. I've also looked at the domains from Frostburn, Sandstorm...

    Permanent Buff Spell Items

    Is there a formula for making a magic item that permanently bestows a certain buff, similar to Ring of Blink/Invisibility/Freedom of Movement?

    Mounts as Cohorts (formerly: Azurin Paladin's Soulborn Mount)

    I want to mess with incarnum for a bit and I'm going to play an Azuran Paladin that will (ask my DM to be allowed to) use the Channel Incarnum ability from the Azurin Cleric sub level in place of the normal Turn Undead at level 4, along with grabbing some incarnum feats as part of the build. I...

    Gaining Domain Powers

    I would like to know of any ways to give a Cleric a domain granted power, aside from acquiring an additional domain. I am aware of Planar Touchstone, I was just looking for something with a little less baggage.

    Horzon Walker's Planar Terrain Mastery Alternative

    I rather like the Planar Terrain Mastery: Shifting ability, but the rest of the class isn't exactly what I like to play. Aside from magic items (anklet of translocation, etc) are there other classes that have a similar ability? I would like to stay away from too much magic/psionics, since I...

    Claw-Based Wilder

    I would like some opinions on the viability of this idea. My plan is to be a Wilder with the Educated Wilder ACF, using the Expanded Knowledge feats to gain the PsiWar claw powers. It seems that they would be especially good with Wild Surge. I also have a few questions about the particulars of...

    TWF Questions.

    I was just wondering a few things about TWF. - Suppose, for the following questions that I have 18 strength, a BAB of +2, and the TWF feat. Wielding a two-handed weapon would give me an attack bonus of (+4)*1.5 + 2 = +8 AB. A light/one-handed weapon would give me 4 + 2 = +6 AB. -If I have 4...

    No Pain, No Gain

    I would like to try my hand at making a character that can sacrifice his life essence in order to gain power. What I'm looking for is something similar to Hellfire Warlock or Blood Magus, but melee focused. My initial reaction would be to try Runescarred Berserker, but I was hoping for someone a...

    Mixing Spellcasting: Questions About PrC Pally and Divine Magician

    Prestige Paladin and Divine Magician are both ways for classes to access spells that they normally would not be able to cast. But, I have a bit of confusion while I'm trying to spec out a build that uses these two. First, can Divine Magician allow you to access spells at an earlier level? For...

    Maximizing Dispel Checks

    What are ways to add bonuses to your dispel checks? I'm talking about things like the Oracle domain or Abjuration Specialist (which are, coincidentally, the only ways I know). Anything that adds a point or two would be useful. As such I have not noticed any feats, etc that do this. I would...

    Dragonborn Shifter

    If I want to make a Shifter Bard with the Savage Bard Variant can I take the Dragonborn template and still keep my shifting ability? The idea of this character is a draconic herald (using Dragonfire Inspiration) that can tap into his bestial draconic side gaining claws and fangs (Razorclaw and...

    Feral Template and Shifter PrCs

    So, I'm preparing to make a Feral Shifter. I am going to take levels in Warblade, Warshaper, and Bloodclaw Master. I just have a few questions. - Does the feral template lower my HD to d10s from d12s? - Aside from the various Shifter-specific classes in ECS/RoE, are there any classes that...

    Awakened Undead and Ability Scores

    Here's the scenario, as it stands: I'm approching the level at which I can begin to cast Awaken Undead. I have, up until now had a host of various monster skeletons. What I would like to do, in order to fill up my HD limit is to have a few Awakened undead lieutenants with class levels, rather...
