I see mention of prestige bard, but nothing for prestige paladin yet?

Warmage 1/Rainbow Servant 10/Sacred Exorcist 1/Prestige Paladin 3/Silver Pyromancer 5 nets you Divine Grace and paladin spells (why doesn't prestige paladin give pally spells anyways?), plus a bunch of other goodies.

Prestige Bard, Paladin, and Ranger all give access to their respective spell lists (or at least the PHB set, with DM's option to add the rest) when you take them. It's part of the sidebar at the bottom of page 71.

As a general rule, murdering people and taking their stuff is pretty much superior to breaking their stuff, murdering them, then not having any stuff to take.

Oh I'll make a party. I'll make a party so hard... I'll make a party that makes you feel so awkward downstairs.

You'll see the party and only be able to respond, "Oh yeah baby."

Silver Pyromancer was just to go with the paladin idea and to get pally spells (oops, ninja'd). Silver burnination is also nice. But... I just noticed the last line in the spellcasting entry that specifically excludes warmages from adding the spells to their list. How dumb is that?

Oh whatever, just slap on devoted performer and stack Prestige Bard on top of Prestige Paladin... or something.

Still not seeing the advantage of Prestige Bard over regular Bard.

They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...

One for the Wizard on his dark throne

bard grants spellcasting while PrC Bard adds to existing casting.  So rather than having a second caster level to track and maintain, as well as pesky spells known and spells per day, you just get to beat up the bard and take all his stuff. You learn all his spells since they become part of your list and gain bard abilities all with your full casterlevel and normal spells per day.

I thought the rule was until you gained your first spellcaster enhancement, it didn't grant the benefits of the casting resources. Guess I had it wrong, thanks for the clarification.

Hood - My first answer to all your build questions; past, present, and future.

Don't even need TO for this.  Any decent Hood build, especially one with Celerity, one-rounds [Azathoth, the most powerful greater deity from d20 Cthulu].
Does it bug anyone else that we've reached the point where characters who can obliterate a greater deity in one round are considered "decent?"
