[QUOTE="Zelc, post: 3999828, member: 40496"] By the way, Able Learner is required for Chameleon, Open Minded isn't very good, and Jack of All Trades is kind of a waste with Able Learner. So as far as a build, you can do something like this: Feat Rogue 1/Human Paragon 1/Cloistered Cleric 1/Human Paragon +2/Chameleon 9/Suel Arcanamach 4/Chameleon +1/Something +1 This gets you Trapfinding, at least 4+int skills per level every level, three domains, TONS of class skills, Divine Metamagic, and Arcane Strike with a normal feat at level 18. Your BAB without Divine Metamagic is pretty low though. An alternative with DMM is this: Feat Rogue 1/Paladin 4/Chameleon 9/Suel Arcanamach 4/Chameleon +1/Something +1 Again, you get Trapfinding, but your skills per level will be lower. You still get Turning, but you also have more Cha synergy with Cha to saves and Smite Evil. Your BAB will be higher, but can't be more than +15 without Divine Power. Without DMM, you can do something like this: Feat Rogue 1/Fighter 4/Chameleon 7/Occult Slayer 5/Chameleon +3 Trapfinding, lots of melee bonuses, and better defenses against magic. Where you put those levels of Occult Slayer is up to you, depending on how early you want to get that Mind Blank effect. You'll end up with +16 BAB. ETA: Oh right, forgot about the Master Thrower Chameleons I've seen. The idea is to get a high Dexterity check and abuse the Trip Shot skill trick. Your allies will thank you for sending everything to the ground. Human Paragon 1/Marshal 1/Human Paragon +2/Fighter 1/Chameleon 3/Master Thrower 1/Chameleon +4/Master Thrower +4/Fighter +3 Grab the Motivate Dexterity aura and go down the TWF line along with Rapid Shot. With Master Thrower, grab Trip Shot, Palm Throw, and Weak Spot. You should also get Ranged Weapon Mastery. Buff yourself with Haste. At the end, you'll be making attacks with bonuses that look like this with just BAB and penalties: +12/+12/+12/+12/+7/+7/+2/+2/-3 each time throwing two weapons (18 weapons thrown) After all the bonuses (+25 in all after buffs), it'd probably look something like this (remember, all are touch attacks!): +37/+37/+37/+37/+32/+32/+27/+27/+22 (x2) Assuming you put 18 base into Dex, you can get 18 base + 6 enhancement + 5 level + 5 inherent + 6 Human Paragon and Chameleon = 40 Dexterity. Tack on, say, a Charisma of 20 (14 base + 6 enhancement) and we're looking at a trip Dexterity check of +24. Not to mention each attack is probably doing 1d4+1d6+12 after enchanting your weapons with a Flame Arrows and a Greater Magic Weapon (use Practiced Spellcaster to bump your caster level up). Assuming only one of the touch attacks miss, that's an average of 292 damage per round - and either 8 or 16 trip attempts with a +24 trip check on each! That's not taking on items that give bonuses for skill checks. Really, there are tons of ways to build viable and powerful Chameleons. Feel free to mix and match to your desire. [/QUOTE]
