Incarnate, access to EVERY feat 3.0-3.5, 3rd party, and beyond... WWY-Pick?

[jameswilliamogle]

Thanks, yes, thats quite doable...  Not sure about combining Ur-Priest w/ Contemplative, though... how would that work, mechanically?  I'm in Faerun...  any dead gods from that campaign w/ the law domain?

So...

I have 4 xxx levels to play with, still, and 3 feats (the obvious would be getting to DMM: Persistent, but I want to avoid it / look at other options first).  Tome of Battle classes are an option there.  Then, there's other PrCs to consider into epic, which would be cool.

Too bad I have to pick just one class to improve w/ incarnum advancement, though..  Actually, would it be that bad if I just stuck with Incarnate?  It keeps it more "pure" a build if I do... And I've never been impressed with dipping Totemist except in specialized melee builds...

The Rokugan (Legend of the Five Rings) books have some very flavorful and powerful feats in them, especially the Scorpion and Crane clans, but others have gems as well. I've made some builds with them and posted them on 339 a couple of times. I'll see if I can dig up one.

Edit: Master Po used some.

I also have a ton of martial-oriented feats in my old house rules that I collected off the net from various places. They were aimed at powering up melee characters, especially fighters, pre-ToB.

There has to be a full BAB class that grants sneak attack somewhere. If there is, you can get in at level 12. If not, level 15.

Just go to my "lists of stuff" and search for "full bab" in the sneak attack section. There are quite a few PrCs there, though some are tricky to qualify for without losing BAB.

OK I've asked the DM if an Incarnate 9 / Ur-Priest 1 / Contemplative 1 / Sahpire Hierarch 8 / something 1 would be too powerful (taking the levels in that order - not looking for game breaking; L9 spells at L18).  I found Amaunator for dead faerunian law gods.

Just to clarify, the Bard is shooting for Bard 4 / Druid 3 / Arcane Hieromphant 3 / Sublime Chord 1 / Fochlucan Lyricist 9 for 9th arcane, 8th divine, and +16 bab.  I dont think I'm asking for much relative to that, but I'm really kicking arse right now, so it may look skewed ATM.

I was going to say "Look at the Rokugan D20" ninja'd
The scorpion have bayushi's technique which essentially lets you take "sudden strike" as a bonus feat up to like 5 times I think.
Pretty cool.
Ahh the Rokugani ninja has the good bab and full sneak attack.
