Non-epic classes never grant epic feats. It's covered in a faq/errata somewhere.

At any rate, Wizard bonus feats can only be Metamagic or Item Creation. Epic Wizard Bonus Feats draw from a different list.

Swashbuckler is from Complete Warrior.

I'm not tracking spells known, so don't bother buying spells. Just assume you have any you'll need.

Well then, I'm just screwed. I thought I had a pretty strong character actually, but there's just no way I can compete with players who own more books than I do (and since I don't own any, that means all of you).
The character I have now won't work, so I'll have to start all over again with a new concept. Since there's no way I can finish it before sunday I'm faced with the option of playing with a sub-par character or not playing at all...

*Shrugs* To be fair, I'm working from only the 3.5 SRD. That's only giving me the core + epic rules, and I think my character is fairly strong.
 

On second thought, I now realise my last post was incredibly whiny. I want to play in this game. So what if my character doesn't inflict as many HPs in damage as some of the other players, and so what if he's easier killed. I'm sure the DM will adapt the challenge we face according to our actual power.

D'oh! I forgot about the RG thread. I was going from your stats posted earlier in this thread...

There are a few issues with bonuses on your character:
  • The Boots of Swiftness provide an enhancement bonus to Dexterity, as do the Gloves of Dexterity. Bonuses of the same type (with the exception of unnamed bonuses and dodge bonuses) do not stack, so only the better of the two bonuses would apply. The same also applies to the insight bonuses from dark foresight and the Sacred Fist class, and to the deflection bonuses from the Ring of Ineffable Evil and magic circle against good. You've got similar problems with the bonuses on your saves.
  • However, the monk's Wisdom and level bonuses to AC are unnamed, not insight, and so stack with anything.


On the money front, I'd suggest buying items to boost all (or as many as you can, item slots allowing) of your ability scores. 36,000 gp for a +6 to a stat really isn't much in a game at this level. Wands, staffs and scrolls are also worth looking into for spells that aren't too dependant on caster level. Needless to say, this works best for utility spells such as invisibility or spider climb.

Thanks Jarval!
I appreciate your help. The corrections have been made.
Cheers,

SG

First, that's not true. Planning and intelligent design beats having more books any day of the week.

Check my PC for example. Plenty of power (though I intentionally did not min-max the items); and with the exception of two feats from Complete Divine everything on my character sheet is from the SRD.
 

Looking over my character, I've still got 200,000 gp left, and the following two magic item slots unused: One suit of armour, and one vest, vestment, or shirt. Given that my character's a wizard, I'm unlikely to be able to fill the armour slot with anything, but I'm wondering if there are any vests, vestments, or shirts that might be useful. Suggestions very welcome :)

Vest of resistence from Complete Arcane gives a +5 bonus to saves. It's pretty much the same as the cloak of resistence, but occupying a less valuable (to most wizards) slot. Also, don't robes take up the same space as armor? If that's the case then it shouldn't be hard to find something for that slot.
