Fuck Dragonball. I wanna make a martial artist, not a constipated vegetable.

Then call it Bleach   Or Vicious.  Vicious is good Smile  Even if he's not bulletproof like the Erudite will be.

Q298:  For anyone who's ever dabbled with Iron Kingdoms...

Do the regional bonuses and modifiers for humans listed in the Iron Kingdoms sourcebook supersede those granted by the core Player's Handbook?  Because trading a feat and bonus skill points every level for an ability score adjustment and a +2 to a few skills my character will never use seems like a crappy trade...
And if they are supposed to replace PH humans then why are the non-human races so brokenly-good by comparison? (seriously... high elves in Iron Kingdoms get Spell Focus (Divination) for free and they lose... rapier off their racial weapon list)

Q 296
How many way (other than leveling up) are there to boost a rouges sneak attack dice? What are they? Is there a feat?
Martial Stance can get you +2d6. It's a feat from ToB. IIRC, it requires another feat as a prereq.

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

You are going to need a martial maneuver as a prereq anyways, so the rogue will either need to splash 1 lv in swordsage, or burn another feat on martial study (though cloak of deception is always nice to have).

You can also use the Deadly Precision weapon enhancement from the Magic Item Compendium. It's a +1 weapon enhancement that gives +1d6 sneak attack with that weapon, but does nothing if you do not already have sneak attack from another source.

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
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...

Well, there is the Urban Ranger variant... one aspect of that is that you can make Gather Information checks faster while doing urban tracking, but that probably doesn't help you much.

Dungeonscape has an ACF that gives you trapfinding and Disable Device as a class skill in exchange for Track and Swift Tracking.

Q298 Do temporary hit points from different sources stack? I can't seem to find the specific clause on that one.

There's one if you have Mystra as your deity, but of course I have Corellon. So no bonus spells for me. I don't have urban tracking so taking the swift version doesn't work.

I saw that need little sub, but I have Track already, and I use it often. I just don't see myself using the swift one anywhere near as often. Even the DM agreed with that.

Q 299 MMVI talks of a weapon called the Dragonsplit which is piercing or slashing. However, there's not talk about how much it costs to buy it, or what it's worth sold. Anyone know this answer?
Q 300 Can you use a greatsword with one hand if you have monkeygrip feat or the strongarm bracers?

A300: Yes. You can wield a weapon that is considered two-handed for your size cathegory in one hand if you are considered one size cathegory larger for that purpose (which is what monkey grip, Strongarm Bracers and Powerful Build do for you). However, if you try to wield a Large-sized Greatsword, you'll still need to wield it two-handed.

An entire thread dedicated to optimizing this PrC  can be found here. That being said, good god, is it broken or what?

However said link to here is broken. Does anyone have a point to the archived version or a re-post somewhere?

I would really appreciate it, Thanks in advance.

Reach Spell metamagic for a +2, or a Metamagic rod of Reach (Magic Item Compendium).

Disregard, misread.

Ocular Spell (+2; Lords of Madness 181) lets you convert any spell into a ray that you shoot from your eye.

This wont' work.  It specifically says:  Only ray spells and spells with a target other than personal can be cast as ocular spells.
