Okay, so as a Werebear everything else.

Werebear LA and RHD/Umbral Disciple 3//Rogue/Pious Templar/ect

works just fine.

stack how? If one class gives you turn undead and another gives you rebuke dragons, then you have those two things. You can't add you class levels in a Dragon rebuking class to your class levels in undead turning for a total level.

That would be like asking if you could make a Wizard 8/Cleric 8 who casts as a level 16 Wizard and Cleric.

No, one class gives me turn undead, but I wish to use both the destroy undead and rebuke dragon altclass features to stack so I deal the damage to dragons.
A player once asked me if there was any way to make a Tarrasque more evil... 3 sessions later he was stoned with D20s as the PC led an exidus out of the path of a Dire Tarrasque of Legendary Wonder.

Phew! Finally got around to finishing my character's spell and maneuver selection... though I think my spell selection is pretty shaky. I'm not used to playing gishes - if anyone wants to critique my spell selection, I'm all ears.

Now I just need to work on the equipment.

Could be worse, my whole build is built around killing dragons with spells.

It's just that there's WAY too much to choose from. It's pretty overwhelming.

So you want to use an ACF that changes how turn/rebuke undead works, but use it on a "rebuke Dragons" feature?

That's okay.

I invite anyone to critique my build if they would.

Assuming we're not using multiclass XP penalties (we aren't right?), the only thing I'd change would be to take a level of Crusader or Warblade instead of the second level of Marshal. The White Raven maneuvers would more than make up for the +1 melee bonus.

That's certainly true. Looking at the  Maneuvers I'm wondering if it would be worth it to work a second crusader level in to get better ones now or simply wait. I like the minor aura and diplo focus from marshal, which will help my rogue side and anyone else using dex. The other levels are right where I want them to get the features I want. White raven looks to be the best fit.

Had to do some racial and template changes but I think I got him made now, Theravel.

Any thoughts on the build would be welcomed. 0:)

No multiclass penalties. Should go without saying.

Also, what is Obidirium?

Next step up from addy, in Stronghold Builder's Guidebook:

Obdurium: This incredibly rare and hard metal represents the pinnacle of nonmagical wall strength. Treat weapons and armor crafted from obdurium as adamantine, except for hardness (30), hit points (60 per inch of thickness, or twice as many hit points as a typical item), and price (twice the listed price for adamantine).
HP: 60 per inch of thickness; Break DC: 48 + 4 per inch of thickness.

so will I be handling the rogue skills? I have the face skills, but if open locks and trap disabling are covered already, I could reallocate some skills to not be redundant.

From what I can tell you are the only one with locks and traps, I can sneak with you but I did not have enough skill points to cover them.

Is there going to be any like bank or some such for extra gear/gold. I just do not want to be carrying around so much gold.

Alright then. I sub'd in a level of crusader, will take another at level. I'll do my best to tackle the locks and traps. Basic gist of back story is that he is a baron's son who wants to learn how to rule through strength and influence.
