Question 271: Does a Factotum's ability to mimic spells as "spell like abilities" qualify them for any feat or PrC that requires " Ability to cast X level arcane spells"?

Q265: There was a thread here about the benefits of being evil. Can someone please find me a link to it? My google-fu has failed me...   :bigeye
A265: (the non-number FAIL one) My prereq and race niche board resources mentions the two biggest ones. DCSF-able vile feats give gaunt and obese for con or dex characters. Also Rebuke > Turn undead. See my build compendium for the 200+ HD commanding build.

q269 Want to give a Giant the ability to Earth Glide. Ideas?
A269: Xorn Movement (Sor/Wiz 5, SpC page 244) gives Earth Glide (I think). The 5th level of Earth Dreamer (Races of Stone) also grants Earth Glide. Both of those options require (significant) investment into spellcasting, though.

Not so much for Earth Dreamer, that just requires you to be able to cast 1st-level spells.  If the giant in question has inherent spellcasting ability, then 5 levels of Earth Dreamer could be a good investment.

A library a +2 to your check.


Still a houserule but it would be changing what something does rather than adding a use.

Depends upon the library - see stronghold builder's guidebook.

Q 273

I want to play a Fiend of Possession without a physical body, or spending as little time in mine as possible. I'd also like to get into FoP as quick as I can, and my DM will most likely wave the evil subtype requirement. I was thinking about starting with Ardent and going into Thrallherd, but I'm open to other suggestions. What do?

P.S. All sources allowed, as well as flaws (DM hasn't decided on limit, probably 3 or 4).
Elminster this, Elminster that. Give ME 2000 years and a pointy hat and I'll kick his arse!

Ask if you can enter with four levels in ghost and the malevolence ability.  Seems like it ought to be a shoe-in.

Sounds like a pretty good idea, how do I deal with the outsider requirement though? Not sure if he'll wave that as well.

Works well with Initiating multiple strikes per round. And gets Int to everything.

Q: What class would be best to gestalt with a White Raven Warblade? Marshal?

Depends on what you want to do, I have been on a marshal kick lately and it's really nice for high cha builds, but warbalde is ussualy high int.

However if you have good cha, having the aura that adds dmg to charge attacks, a fly speed (so you wan make a diving charge) and a lance will let you add tripple cha modifier to damage. Add pounce, and you opponent is in for a world of hurt. Oh and incidentally you are buffing the rest of the party at the same time.

However you don't want too many marshal levels, probably not more than 5 (2 major and 3 minor for flexibility) usually less, although the grant movement ability is nice with the charge aura since it allow setup for the charges.

If you relent a bit on the no caster add a level of cloistered cleric followed by some prestige paladin levels, adding cha to saves and another bunch of nice abilities, like turn undead to power stuff. If nothing else (ie: you are intent on wasting your casting) you can always use the few spells you get for healing, and you can use wands of CLW. But elation is a nice party buff spell and it is a morale bonus to stats and speed, which is somewhat rare.
