K - I'm fine with the fact you don't like Gish characters, and think they are just crutches for people with ADD, but as you then stated later you're not always playing maximized characters. It's not a stretch to believe that other people might not either. I don't think it's so much to do with being ...

And by being awesome at one thing, you mean advancing as a fighter who can't keep up with the majority of the other classes in the game?

Spell linked familiar seems useful;

From 9-11th caster level, you can grant your familiar 1 zero level spell
12-14th, 2/1
15-17th, 3/2/1
18-20th, 4/3/2

They cast at half your caster level, and don't use components.

"Something to consider in building a character. How high a level do you feel you're really likely to play to? The highest I've ever hit from level 1 on was 12. The game often runs off the rails at high levels and my groups often tacticly agree to just start anew by that point."[br][br]I ag...

If you're evil, you're p...

Third and final question before I continue crunching options for this character: If you (everyone) were to build an assassin character - how would you approach it?

Like monkey gripping two large longswords.[br][br]I don't know about you, but -6/-6 for 2d6/2d6 is a steal!11[br]----------------------------------[br]I really don't understand Wotc sometimes. I can deal with joke prestige classes and feats that allow people to play cloud or pretend they are anime c...

Alright, gentlemen, thank you for the replies. It will take me a while to organize the posted information and read the books referenced. [br][br]My next question is - is there any real reason for a typically finesse/dual wielding character to use the oversized wielding feat from the adventurer book?...

Hello, citizens of the den. I found your page through a search engine looking for something D&D related, i'm sure. [br][br]After a brief exchange with one of your more "charismatic" posters, I was directed to simply ask for help in the open.[br][br]My ultimate goal is to build a functi...
