I remeber that spot, and the first thing I though of was killing them over and over for XP. After the first wave of guys, I stopped getting XP for the kills! I could have been mistaken, but I know thats why I moved on.

It completly depends on the playstyle of your caster. If you are a sword weilding eldritch knight, then your arcane abilities are going to be used primarly to buff yourself. Therefore extend spell would be of greatest value. If you are a backstabbing trickster, quickened invisibility+backstabbing ...

I can finesse a short sword, and equip it as a two handed weapon, and get the 1.5 bonus damage from combat insight, and get precise strike from being a duelist. All in all not bad, it just would be nicer with a rapier's crit range too.

I tried giving a rapier to my dex based gnome and his AB droped from 36 to 21! Not cool. So are rapiers not finessable for small characters? Is this supposed to be the case?

Probably not, as your Neverwinter companions are no longer traveling with you.

Firebrand randomly targets any creature in the area of effect. Same with Isaac's Missile Storm btw.

That's not how it works in the game. Firebrand only targets enemies. I can cite a source, and I just tested on hardcore to confirm this.

"Firebrand: d6/lvl fire damage (to 15d6) to 1 target/level ...

My arcane bread and butter is firebrand, isaacs missle storm, and lesser isaacs missle storm, - all of them as is, or empowered, or maximized. Because clerics have none of these 9 options, it's hard for me to think that they can match a wizards offensive power.

I think there is alot more to ...

What about unlimited XP glitches? Just to compensate for the XP loss of course.

Well I've run across one 'glitch'. It's when you accidently open up the console (the '~' key) type:
DebugMode 1
givexp 5000
DebugMode 0

It seems to happen most often when you are about to reach a big battle and you ...

It was my impression that the requirements for epic spells are:
1. Ability to cast 9th level spells (arcane or divine) or dark invocations (warlock)
2. Character level 21+

So there shouldn't be any problem picking them as feats at any point past level 20. I havn't tried yet, so I could be wrong ...

Curious, why don't you want epic spells? Especially Vampiric Feast with a necromancy focus.

I havn't played the swashbuckler in through a campaign but I did some testing vs some fighters, demons, udead, and a dragon. Funny sight parrying vs the dragon, until he decided to blast me back 100 feet and hit me with his fire breath. Guess I should have invested in Use Magic Device and given ...

Yes, but I don't know if its enough to get 2 or 3 extra levels, especially because levels 21-22-23 require more and more XP.

But a more evective technique I've used with my Svirfneblin is simply not leveling up as often. I wait for every 4th level (when I get a stat increase) before clicking the ...

Some other ideas. So what! I like monks and bards.

I have some comments about your Monk/Wizard/Palemaster from one who has played one through the OC (not MOTB yet though).

Your concerns are valid. This class does not do lots of damage and has mediocre BAB. At times you will have trouble hitting and killing things (githyanki comes to mind), but don ...

I'm not sure if this will help but it works for me.

I found that the least frustrating camera mode is character mode WITHOUT edge of screen scrolling. I have the setting so that when I hold the Mouse1 button my character walks forward. Also, you can still look around by holding the Mouse3 button or ...

If you have or are planning to get the expansion, think about this build.

Monk(11)/Favored Soul(12)/Storm Lord(7) or
Monk(11)/Favored Soul(10)/Storm Lord(9)

The point is that you can enchant Shiruken with some nice damage throw them really fast with flurry of blows, and have plus to hit from being ...

If you like beating someone down with a ton of strength and a two handed weapon see what you think of this level 30 build:

If you don't mind changing alignments between monk and FB
Monk(12)/Bard(1)/RDD(10)/FB(7)
or
Monk(13)/Bard(1)/RDD(10)/Ranger(6)
or even
Monk(12)/Bard(1)/RDD(10)/WM-Quarterstaff ...

I just concieved another unique build. It's a bit of a combination between a couple other combos I've liked to use.

First is the Cleric/Blackguard/Divine Champion. At first glance its a pretty ordinary Evil Divine hodgepodge, but there are two nice tricks. First is charisma is useful in many ways ...

Under Options you should find tabs for Stragegy Mode and Character Mode. Under these tabs there should all sorts of settings including a toggle for edge of screen scrolling and a slider for scrolling speed.

Hitting "*" on the numberpad is default to change between strategy mode (current) and character mode (desired). I have a laptop without a numberpad so I had to go into options and change the button to something else.
