Overpowered?

Play an apostle of peace. =)

Failing that... consider the Druid/Monk mashup in Unearthed Arcana. In addition to sacrificing your wildshape you'd sacrifice spellcasting. In return you'd get one ranger combat mastery, access to the longbow and zen archery as a bonus feat.

So a non-combatant combatant or an environmentalist?
oh jokes galore lol. To put what I said a different way, a guy that doesn't care to fight, but will fight if need be.
Give up genasi, go human, Use a composite Greatbow, play as one of the many classes with massive sneak attack bonuses.

after doing so you should drop most things better than anyone else and not break any magic rules. but at that point the bow is a game breaker, just as it was in medieval europe and asia.
We, literally, have a ranger doing pretty much that. So as not to step on anyone's toes, that option is closed to me.

The DM doesn't care what kind of druid, the fact that its a druid is enough for him to ban it to me, and as I said up above, we already have a ranger doing the range thing. Is there anything else like the Duskblade though? After reading through it again, I like it, but I was wondering if there was anything else.

Why did you tell everyone my plan? Fighter/Rogue/Kensai who focuses on the greatbow?

Why would you do this to me?



As for it being over powered, I don't think so, it just means you did a good job.
 

Well the fact is what you described personality wise is sort of opposite of an Air Genasi. It also isn't really that great of a race. I would look into being an Aasimar Incarnate, it sounds like the party lacks a solid support character. Don't be fooled by the initial stats, first the Aasimar gets an increased hit die and the system can give you many buffs to your attack. I would say choose a lawful good alignment, the radiance feature will give increased attack and defense for you and your party. Also be sure to get the vitality belt(hit points equal to your meldshaper level x essentia invested) and incarnate avatar(similar to your radiance feature except for you only based upon essentia invested) soulmelds. It also has many other little abilities that you can choose from.

I was banned from Magic of Incarnum, due to playing an Evil Incarnate and killing the party with a Necrocarnum Zombie. "Air Genasi are fast and free willed", which sounds like, in battle, a hippy. Peace and Mother Earth. Atleast, that's the slant I can take, I don't HAVE to, after all, I'm still trying to find a class, but once that's done then the char personality will take root then. Basically, I'm trying to find a class suited to the race, without going default (fighter).
 

Ah, okay been having a bit too much fun then :devil:. Well you could look at the paladin of Freedom variant the chaotic good paladin and replace the mount with a divine spirit. Though, yet again the race isn't good knocking at a couple of key paly attributes. Again, I suggest an Aasimar, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to take a Dead Poet's Society spin with him. The Freedom variant gives you immunity to compulsions and +4 saves for you party to them, functions like and replaces aura of courage. The divine spirit allows you to have an array of non-attackable support spirits. One heals up to twice your lay on hands, other increases attack and damage to those adjacent to, a third gives you DR 10/-, Diehard, and can use your lay on hands as a free action, and finally as a cap stone one gives a fast healing 10 to those adjacent to it. Granted they come every 5 levels, but you can have more than one out at a time.

The race is set: the DM will not allow it to be changed. If I would of known he would of had such an uproar over Factotum, I wouldn't of picked an Air Genasi. Its not my fault that you can bluff in combat to make an opponent flat footed for your next attack and thus spam Iajutsu Focus. .... well I really need another class now. An Paladin is out. I played a Half Dragon Paladin with the dragonic feat Frightful Presence. While no where near busted, it was hilarious, and it peeved out the DM cause his horde had poor saves >.>
 

Wow, he allows a swordsage to another guy and not a paladin for you he must have it out for you. He couldn't combat against a stupid frightful presence. I mean understand against a mass of rube fighters, but in general? Does this person not know that there are hundreds of things out there immune to mind-affecting, compulsion, and fear effects? Also if you have improved feint it is still a move action to bluff and standard to attack. Yay, you killed one low level person while not tactically positioning yourself.
Anyway, back to the drawing board, I guess you could look at a daring outlaw build. Rogue and Swashbuckler levels stack for sneak attack damage and grace features. At Rogue 3 replace trap sense with penetrating strike 1/2 sneak attack to things normally immune.
 


Though I still think your party needs a solid support character, the rest are geared for offense and mobility. I know you said you don't want to touch tome of battle but since your race is non-optimized maybe you could get away with a defensive support crusader. Just think about it you have things like stone power, vital recovery, divine spirit, and psychic renewal(I'm sure there is something that gives temporary hit points by expending focus). With the right powers you can be chanting peace and love while the war-mongering hoards try to hack you to pieces.
