Would SotAO and Ultimate magus make nice off gish if the dm allowed battleblessing to work with this? Maybe some Geomancer in it?
Brainstorming for next game.
All dnd 3.5 no dragon mag stuff and no thirdparty is fair game. Looking for a fun gish to play.
Look for the thread "true arcane dilliante" (misspelled for ease of searching, as that's how the OP spelled it in the title), and check out my version of anklebite's Master Spellthief. Gets dual 9's, a ton of metamagic, full 10 levels of UM, and an ending CL (technically, if you include Mystic Fire Knight sub) of 224. Even without the sub, CL 110. Reserves of Strength will let you gish with the best, since anything that has a cap and gives (effect)/level will give you a shitpile of (effect). Check out the math on
phantasmal steed mentioned...you basically become an F-22 pilot, complete with stealth capability, air-to-air, air-to-ground, ECM, supersonic capability, and damage negation (eh...chafe? flares?), just like the real thing!
