Wow, this sounds really interesting. I don't own most of those books though, just the 3.5 SRD, Forgotten Realms, and I've seen the planescape stuff. I'd be interested in playing a vigilante flashy finesse fighter with a bit of magic and social skills. Is there any class you can suggest for that besides bard?
No skills are cross class so a fighter can max out bluff and diplomacy.
For a bit of magic you have a bunch of options with just those choices:
* Psychic warrior class
* You could gestalt with a caster class.
* I think spellfire or whatever it is called is available as a feat in the FRCS.
* Play a race with spell-like abilities (gnomes, tiefling, aasimar)
* I think there is a feat in FRCS that gives you minor spell-like abilities
* Cleric class would give d8 HD, some magic, medium BAB, and simple weapons; could be tailored to a finesse style fighter.
If you are using the
www.d20srd.org online srd there are variant rules options from Unearthed Arcana in the variant rules section that add other options: battle sorcerer variant, bard variants, etc.
Almost every core class except the dedicated caster ones could be a finesse style warrior, even paladin and clerics could do it moderately well.
