(Wu Jen for Arcane, Ninja for Adventurer, Shujena for Divine, and Samurai for Warrior).  If you play a combaty cleric that feels limited by preparing spells, give him the Favored Soul from Complete Divine.  It's kinda like a sorcerer with wings and the cleric spell list.  I could go on for days.  Each book has base classes, PrC's, items, feats, and spells specifically tailored to playing those specific types of characters, as well as suggestions for DM's on how to use those things in a game.You could, potentially make your PC's buy them and borrow them when needed so you both have access to the material that applies to what the PC wants to be.Another alternitave, although time-consuming is look through the books and create/adapt classes, spells, feats, and magic items, tailoring them to your campaign.Macrovore out.  Join the DMF, biotches</blockquote>
