[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4874354, member: 35909"] Well, you can't use ISA very often. you should look for other ways to get SA with your spells. Grease or anything else that makes a person balance leaves them without dex to AC, unless they have 5+ ranks in the skill. With your DM, that might work a session or two before he gives everything balance ranks... O_O Deadeye Shot from PH2 lets you ready to shoot someone after they are stuck inmelee, leaving them flatfooted to your attack. If he allows the 3.0 Song and Silence book, Quicker than the Eye feat will be your best friend. As to the blindsense example...did you mean blindsight? Blindsense only tells you what square a creature's in, it still leaves you with a 50% miss chance and the person is effectively invisible (can SA, gets a bonus to hit, foe is flatfooted, etc...). It also tends to be fairly short-ranged. I have a PC right now that got blindsense from draconicheritage feats and it only goes out to 20 ft. That's assuming your DM's even [i]trying[/i] to play by the rules, of course. He might just be outright cheating. And yes, I think DMs can cheat. It's one thing to just give an NPC some things he probably could have gotten with the right build out of laziness/lack of time, just assigning those abilities. It's quite another to just start tossing on 733+ powerz that no legitimately built NPC of that level/CR could possibly have. [/QUOTE]
