Checking in from the lovely and still-intact (for the moment anyway- I have a feeling that may change rather quickly once we hit giants) Team Black. I've been working on some ideas for a back-up character, and I figured I ought to start asking questions now. You know, just in case...
Mostly, I want to ask about things that come from sourcebooks that aren't either specifically approved up front, but also haven't been specifically disallowed either. I presume that such things are on a case-by-case basis, so I wanted to inquire about a few, in the interest of thinning the herd a bit. The creative tinkering gives me something to do at work, when I can't actually post or check anything.
So, here goes:
1. PHB II: some feats and/or spells, and the Sorceror variant (metamagic specialist)
2. Spell Compendium: Um, well, some spells... My arcane caster idea is a sound/force sorceror, and both those spell types are strongly represented.
3. Dragonmarked: some of the feats, and the Blade of Orien PrC (or the first few levels anyway, on a ranger/rogue base).
That ought to give me some room to tinker- and Ipshivi, while she doesn't deal lots of damage, is fairly survivable. I hope...
