[QUOTE="gfunk, post: 1189120, member: 1813"] Thanks, I actually made about a half dozen character builds until I found one that I was satisfied with. As to playing really good PCs, well I really don't know why my last two were like that. I make builds based on how interesting they are to me and if they are fun to play. When you take the Vow of Poverty, you gain several powerful benefits. One of these is the acquistion of Exalted Feats like a fighter gains bonus feats. You get one bonus feat at 2nd level and a new one at every other level after that. So Caine has 4 regular feats (1 for being human, 3 for levels 1, 3, 6) and 3 exalted feats (3 for levels 2, 4, 6). Eyes of the Avoral give the recipient a +8 racial bonus to Spot checks for 10 min/level. Yoke of Mercy forces one creature to fight in a merciful manner. They must deal nonlethal damage, cannot use spells or spell-like abilities to deal damage, and will not coup-de-grace helpless foes. No. In this case, I can burn 1 XP for every 5 gp the component is worth. For spells like Stoneskin and Forcecage, I would have to burn the XP each time since the components are consumed in the casting. For others, like Shapechange, the XP cost is one-time since the component is a focus. You are, I assume, talking about the requirements for Mystic Theurge. Apostle of Peace gives you a small list of divine spells. You gain 1st level spells at the 1st level of AoP and gain a new spell level roughly every level afterwards. The pre-req for Mystic Theurge is the ability to cast 2nd level divine and arcane spells. No, actually it came up during a conversation with JollyDoc. I told him that my new PC basically "walked the earth." Jollydoc said that was what Jules in Pulp Fiction said, who was in turn quoting Caine from the 1970s series Kung Fu. So I named Caine after the title character and named my Lantern Archon companion Jules. [/QUOTE]
