IE it's powers. (A vicious, Vorpal sword for example would probably be much different from a Merciful Holy sword).Truthfully, I was kinda hoping there'd be one intelligent item in the party.  I do so enjoy them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I do have a suggestion to up your damage: Switch to a Bastard Sword.  it's only a 1pt increase in dice, BUT if you're willing to sacrifice one level, it'll get you access to the exotic weapon master PrC, which has some very neat little tricks in it.  Specifically: Uncanny Blow (When wielding a one handed exotic weapon in two hands, you treat it as two-handed for power attack purposes, AND add 2X your str bonus to damage).  (ALSO Shayuri forgot to note that G.Sword lets you add 1.5X str bonus to damage, instead of just the 1x used by the one-handed long sword, which makes it a bit more viable option.)As far as Feats - I would suggest agaisnt Karmic Strike/Robillars gambit.  Firstly b/c I just dislike them, secondly: As I've stated before, I work off the 'mutually assured destruction' mode of DMing, so if you take them there's a good chance you'll meet someone with them at some point, and have a good old fashioned 1-round double ko.Feat selection I'd suggest Exotic Proficiency(Bastard Sword), W. Focus, W.Spec, Power Attack, Cleave, Great Cleave, Imp Crit as highest on the list.Quick Draw has limited usage, and Improved Initiative is only worth taking if you really need to go first (IMO), such as for sneak attackers.  I'm not too fond of Greater weapon focus/specialization, but they're good filler feats if you've got nothing better.Also, Pain Mastery can be interesting if you're playing the tank type.  Note that it's not 50pts of damage in a single attack, it's just +2(UNNAMED) bonus to STR for each 50 dmg you take in the encounter, though you become exhausted afterwards.OnlytheStrongMy apologies, I was under the impression it DID stack with itself.  Kinda OP now that I look back on it *L*  thnx guys for pointing that out.  Tell you what, I'll let you take an improvement to it as a single advancement to it for pointing out my flaw. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  Call it Greater Natural Attack (Think of it as 1 more stack).Shayuri Depends on which rules you're talking about using to create your 'mobile fortress'.  It'd have to be something permanent to count for Leadership (IE not Daerns instant fortress or Mord's Mansion-style ability)For Feats, How about Thick Skinned? (From Savage Species)  It would up your DR to 7/cold iron, which is fairly respectable.Or, Supernatural Transformation (Also savage species).  It's been 'officially' erratad that only racial SLA's count, but I've always disagreed and felt that warlock invocations should be considered innate. and I'm the DM, so <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />.  Hell, take supernatural transformation: Eldritch blast and you now have a supernatural eldritch blast that overcomes SR (Though it would become an SLA if you used any invocations on it, unless they were also supernatural)MythHeh.  constructs. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Biggest concern: Don't ride a horse.  Unless you can get a mount that's got some meat to it, your mount will be dead the first combat.  A single fireball/lightning bolt/stray arrow and your beloved animal is gone.Hmm.. If you want, we could talk about you taking a horse as a familiar. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />For elemental traits all you really have to do is create a section on your sheet called Special Qualities or some such, and just copy all of your traits there.  A few questions & Suggestions: Why Spell focus Necromancy?  Wouldn't conjuration make more sense for a fire mage?Energy Admixture can be fun, and greater spell focus may be useful, but at Epic, Fire Immunity/resistance isn't all that uncommon.  I think if you're looking for a fire mage, you'd be better off finding room for the Searing Spell metamagic feat, as voidrazor suggested.  I'd be ok with it for a dedicated fire mage.Not sure what you're planning on spending your archmage lvls on, but I'd suggest using at least one of them for mastery of shaping, so you don't boom your buddies.For the others.. spellpower+4 can be fun.</blockquote>
