Masters of the Arcane

[Jemal]

More questioning for the DM (Sorry for Spamming) :
Would ANY of the following count as a 'virtual feat' substitute for the Blood Magus class from Complete Arcane (Which requires Great Fortitude and Toughness):
Rat Familiar or Loremaster's "Lore of True Stamina". (Both provide an unnamed +2 bonus to Fortitude saves, like Great Fortitude)
Toad Familar or Loremaster's "Secret Health" (Both give +3 HP, just like Toughness).

Would you allow the Dread Necromancer from Heroes of Horror (similar like a Warmage, but specializing in necromancy)?

...

Did you see my post?

Sorry guys, I've been a bit delayed getting my other gmae up and running.

Jemal: Sure, I'll let you take those abilities, though for the virtual feat question, neither of those apply sorry.

Walking Dad: I'm still trying to get a copy of heroes of horror.

Vertexx: I follow pretty standard rules for polymorph. You are still limited to 15 HD and you cannot assume the form of things with templates. I'm not allowing books in as a source, you have to ask for specific things. I'm not allowing your mount to be anything you asked for sorry. No templates, 3.0 monsters manuals, no savage species. At least in the terms of mounts sorry. You can use practiced spellcaster btw. And I'm not allowing special materials for items either. You can have fullplate, thats it. PHB only essentially.

Characters will be level 20.
Abilities will be 32 point buy.
Allowed sources will be Core, Completes, Spell Compendium. Any other Wizards hardcover source will be considered but must be approved by me first. No SRD.
Any Races allowed in said sources.
HP will be standard, max at first level and then rolled via invisible castle.

Drow OK? They are a race from Core.

Drow are fine.

Alrighty then, I don't think I'll be submitting a toon for this game, no gear i slike making half of a character...1 bad save roll and your dead. And since I always roll crap (the others can attest to this) I'll just bow out now, good luck all!

Working up a drow druid 18.

Would the druid avenger class variant from Unearthed Arcana be OK? http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#druidVariantDruidicAvenger

 

[Shayuri]

I believe I'll do up an oriental style sorceress. Yessss...

How are my chances you got the copy soon?

Other ideas:

Plain specialist wizard
Wizard 5 / Master Specialist 10 / Archmage 5
(what about "buying" new spells known?)

Bard / Sublime Chord (do you allow paragon classes from UA?)

 

[Jemal]

Well my idea has progressed a bit, I'm stuck between three variants of a fairly standard Sorc/Archmage. The variant is the third class.. Dragonheart mage, Loremaster, or Blood Magus.. Just can't decide which to go with.

Well, here's rough drafts of each without spell selection..
