When I run games, I never care about perfect point balance or optimisation because most of the game books or resources I use have done that for me (DMG NPCs, templates, stats in the Dungeon Mag, Jamis Buck's RPG Generators, etc.). Now that I am on the other side of the screen, I find myself surrounded by newer players who are determining their feats and other items to obtain special prestige classes when they eventually hit 8th level. This isn't exactly how I'm used to playing D&D... so I need to become schooled in how best to optimise my character. Here is the scoop: I get to make a third level PC (who shouldn't be chaotic and/or evil), are in a typical fantasy genre campaign (no bronze age or gunpowder weapons), and all the players have access to a boatload of WotC and non-WotC D20 prestige classes, spells, items, and stuff. I rolled a 16, 15, 13, 11, 9 and an 8 for my stats. Class and race doesn't matter. I can play any type of character class or critter and have fun. I can play a Gnome Illusionist or a Half-Gelatinous Drow Elf Cleric to the God of Cheese following the Chiurgeon prestige class. So long as it isn't past third level, I've got the green light. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /> Ultimately, I just don't want to play the weakest character in the group... and I know this group is all about optimizing their PCs.  Any trips, tricks, books or websites that y'all can recommend so I can continue further along the dark side would be appreciated.
