A 64b: On the other hand, there are a couple ways to let something else maintain that concentration for you. There's a spell which does it (and specifically calls itself out as an exception... but I can't remember the name), and I'm pretty sure there's a feat which let's your familiar do it as well.

That's true. Sonorous hum is a sor/wiz/bard 3 spell (IIRC - it's in the Spell Compendium). There's also a power which you can manifest to hand concentration on a psionic power off to your psicrystal, but I'm not sure if there's a feat that gives your familiar the ability to concentrate. There may be, though, I'd check the "getting the best of your familiar" thread from 339.

So being able to maintain concentration as a swift action is of little benefit to the wizard? I did once think of giving it to the balor so he could maintain implosion as a move action...

Surreal · « **Reply #183 on:** June 07, 2008, 05:13:15 AM »

Well, the skill trick ('swift concentration' I believe) is still useful in that it frees up your standard action for something else non-casting related... such as attacking, or running, or using an item/wand/sphere of annihilation/etc.

Q65: There's the Master Specialist Prc, and the focused specialist (feat?), right? Now, there's the Elven substitution level one of the races books for being a generalist, but is there more that expounds on being a Generalist wizard?

Rebel7284 · « **Reply #187 on:** June 08, 2008, 05:25:14 PM »

Q 66 are there any other PrCs like Sacred Exorcist that can advance an arcane spell casting class and at the same time grant turn undead (significant cookies if domains are also granted.)

AfterCrescent · « **Reply #188 on:** June 08, 2008, 05:55:38 PM »

A 65. Focused Specialist is an Alternate Class Feature. And no, there is no further expansion on the Racial Substitution Levels for Elven Generalist Wizards.

Q67: Is there an evil-compatible PrC at least 8 levels long that grants at least 3/4 BAB, full arcane advancement, and Cha-based benefits? (I'm looking for an evil version of Sacred Exorcist to plug into a pal/sor gish that uses blackguard instead of paladin.)

Q68 Does knowledge devotion and the Factotum's cunning insight ability stack ?

Surreal · « **Reply #191 on:** June 09, 2008, 04:49:33 AM »

A 65: Perhaps Mage of the Arcane Order? (although I think that benefits specialists more than generalists)

A 66: I've checked my lists and can't find anything.

A 67: Flipping through the x stay to y bonus thread, nothing really stands out. Best I can see if maybe the Ascetic Mage feat. An evil sorcerer/monk/blackguard isn't all that bad actually.

AfterCrescent · « **Reply #192 on:** June 09, 2008, 11:30:07 AM »

A 68. KD is an insight bonus while CI is a competence. So, yes, they stack.

A 76: This is from memory, so could be completely wrong. The Demon-Blooded PrC from Heroes of Horror might do some of what you wish. It is 9/10 casting (the caster level loss is at 10th level), and I have a general rememberance that it is 3/4 BAB, but I could be wholly wrong. It does give you a +1 Cha boost and several demonic resistances (the last level makes you into a half-fiend, IIRC).

It's at least worth checking out. Sorry, don't have books with me at the moment.

AfterCrescent · « **Reply #194 on:** June 09, 2008, 12:50:40 PM »

A67c. Fiend-blooded is 9/10 but poor BAB. +1Cha/Int/Dex/Con and other fiendish goodies, though.

ksbsnowowl · « **Reply #195 on:** June 09, 2008, 02:53:24 PM »

Yeah, that's the one. Too bad it's not 3/4 BAB...

Rebel7284 · « **Reply #196 on:** June 09, 2008, 04:23:02 PM »

A67: Unseen Seer has 3/4 BAB and full casting. No real CHA bennies but free sneak attack + hunter's eye never hurt.

Q69 Is the ability that the feat Anvil of Thunder (CW) grants you only usable once per round?

Surreal · « **Reply #198 on:** June 10, 2008, 03:46:56 AM »

Q 70: From both a rules and fluff point of view, can a Hellbred become a Necropolitan? (or a lich or any other form of undead for that matter)

I can envision a PC who has perhaps failed in his quest for redemption, and with his end approaching decides to cheat death and eternal damnation by becoming undead... but have I missed anything?

AfterCrescent · « **Reply #199 on:** June 10, 2008, 03:52:05 AM »

A70. Yes. And I love the flavor.
