Might I also recommend Pharaoh's Fist's Fistbeard Beardfist for dwarfy goodness?

Beguiler.
Oh, did you need more? Beguiler 10/Exemplar 2 focusing on bluff. At level 15, you can lie so well, people will fight to the death for you.

Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
@Request #72
And make it a changeling. With rogue sub levels. 10 skillpoints/level and other subpar abilities, woot! And warshaper, although that deviates a little from the original request.
Levels in spymaster or the rakshasa race would work too.
Request #73
And I want to see a hybrid of sonofzeal's build and Fistbeard Beardfist. Indestructiblely dwarfy, fueled by ale, and kills people with his beard.

Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
Request #74
One of my players has requested for me to build him a blaster type with as many at-will abilities as possible--reserve feats, soulmelds, vestiges, whatever, as long as he doesn't have to deal with per-day mechanics at all (that he has to use, at least; having spells to power reserve feats, for instance, is fine)-- and I want to see what you come up with.

Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
Request #76
A Neutral-Good elven generalist wizard, sort of a gish, but mainly a spellcaster.
Possibly a metallic draconic flavour but no high LA. No ToB or setting specific.

Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
A change to Request 66 (6?):
Any person who can use the Necrotic Line of Spells horrifyingly well :P
I'd settle for just cyst and one of the other ones if it was awesome.

Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
Request #77:
Anti-magic warrior, someone who blasts away magic users without having a single level of primary caster himself. Due to his backstory, he especially hates all arcane (watched family murdered by evil arcanists with only a touch of necromancy), tolerating only good or occasional neutral divine and only outright exalted arcanists who've taken feats or classes to tie their powers to their alignment and taken personal risks to save his life. Vestige and pact magic would also be hated, and psionics and soulmelding etc would be at best viewed with suspicion on par with divine casters, probably with less tolerance as they tend to be independent of allignment and a good Psion or Soulmelder today could go evil tomorrow without a loss of power.
If you can, look at the first slew of Warcraft RPG books, written in 3rd ed, which includes a Spellbreaker feat and chain (base feat is a standard action single attack, forces the target to lose a number of spell levels on a hit; chain includes a spell-like ability of Dispel Magic). However I do not know if they're in the newer 3.5 release, the World of Warcraft RPG.

Convince your DM that the Warlock Invocations count as spellcasting, then go Warlock/Binder/Anima Mage. If your DM is okay with homebrew, then Reserve Mage is just about perfect for the character concept.

Candle of Invocation > Efreet > three Candles of Invocation > more Efreet > and so on. Eventually, you will have so many Candles that you could just toss a fireball in a room and light enough for a small army of whatever you'd like.

Silver Dragon with an elven bloodline? IS there even an elven bloodline? I guess you could weave some elven blood into your backstory and take levels in the Elf Paragon class.
Sure, you have LA and RHD, but you also have natural spellcasting to go with it.

Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
Request Number 78
I wanted the highest possible BAB while also getting 9th level arcane spellcasting. The setting is Eberron, no RHD, only + 0 LA. All books except psionics, no web content or dragon magazine. I'd prefer Int based casting, but any will do. 32 Point buy.
Thanks!

There's probably something better, but ... does Bard 1/Duskblade 8/Eldritch Knight 1/Sublime Chord 1/Abjurant Champion 5/Eldritch Knight 4 work? That would get BAB +18.

Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
Request #79
i need a large character with no more than 1 LA and no RHD. he needs fight with chains that are attached to his arms, as that is how his teammates "hold him back". he shall also need to be throwing rocks, using large sticks, or whatever this feral man can find to bash peoples minds in without second thought. this needs to be based on a 36 point buy

Spellthief // Monk 4 / Barbarian 1 / Fist of the Forest
Spellthief steals spells from the casters, so you can throw them in their face or use them for your benefit. Fist of the Forest gives up magical equipment for various (albeit weak) bonuses. Since you're giving up the benefits of magical items, you might as well take Vow of Poverty for those benefits as well.

Barbarian/Frenzied Berserker/Reaping Mauler comes to mind as a grappler and hand-to-hand fighter, which a /Hulking Hurler would be more someone who chucks stuff around. Or perhaps combine the two, for grabbing opponents and throwing them at each other.
Half-Giant is +1 LA and counts as a large creature when desired.

Unless you are suggesting Practiced Spellcaster or other early entry shenanigans, it would have to be Duskblade 9/ Bard 1/ Sublime Chord 2 / Abjurant Champ 5 / Eldritch Knight (Or Knight Phantom) 3 for + 18 BAB and CL 18 for Sublime Chord.
I was going to go Wizard 5/ Knight Phantom 3/ Abjurant Champ 5/ Knight Phantom + 7, that gets +17 BAB and 19 CL. But Duskblade-into-sublime-chord has lots of style points.

Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
Request #77
Concept: Magic-less Mage Killer
Race/Class: Karsite (using LA-buyoff) Warblade 20.
Components: Feat-heavy. Mage Slayer and Pierce Magical Concealment (CArc) are a must. Power Attack and Leap Attack will also help. Grab Boost Spell Resistance and Daazzix’s vest for pretty respectable SR, as well as Iron Heart Surge, and Martial Study for "Shadow Jaunt" if you can. Dip Fighter if extra feats are needed.
Result: Will be able to shrug off a surprising amount of what your average mage can throw at him, with a surprisingly high SR for a PC that looks pretty human and his various Maneuver defences. Will be able to kill many mages in a single round if he can get off one good attack. If race is already established, perhaps distant Karsite blood could be activated somehow through his quest to become a better mage killer.

Why Sublime Chord 2? Eldritch Knight only requires casting Level 1 spells. You might have to switch it and Abjurant Champion in order, but shouldn't the build work with just Sublime Chord 1?
... not that it makes a difference to your final BAB anyway, I guess.

Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
Request #78
Concept: Max BAB and 9th level spells
Race/Class: CW Samurai 20
Components: Maxed cross-classed UMD, and a 3,825 gp scroll of Shapechange
Result: Shapechange into something with Arcane casting, like a Dread Linnorm. Your BAB is 20, and you get 9th level spells and books thrown at you. Enjoy!
Request #79
Comment: Er, about 90% of this is flavour. Still.....
Concept: The Fettered
Race/Class: Half-Giant or Neanderthal, Swordsage 20
Result: Swordsage may seem like an odd choice here, but that's what this thread's about. However if you focus on Setting Sun and Tiger Claw, you should get the point across quite effectively. The former lets you send your enemies (and willing allies) flying, and the latter gives you a very savage combat style. Boost your Str enough, and nobody will notice you only have 3/4 BAB.

You get Song of Arcane Power at Sublime Chord 2, better than nothing at Eldritch Knight 4... Maybe my Eldrich Knight is not the same as yours, as mine seems to need level 3 spells.

Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
MY Request
SOMething quite boring really, using only the phb and the dmg can you make me a character that is quite combat based but with something else to make him/her a bit more interesting too? Also I would prefer it if they used a different weapon to the typical greatsword or axe.
Cheers!

I'll leave truly creative builds to the resident builders of this thread. However, this link is here for an alternative:

Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
a evil villain, Machinus, who seeks to destroy all flesh. he was human once, now he's more of a steampunk/warforged/golem cyborg. His lair is a TANKS-CASTLE (ohyeah!).
he(it?) is for a E6 world, so no more than level 10. haha
any ideas?

Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
Artificial Magic
Details: The character was a wizard's experiment, being injected with chemicals and dragon's blood, need a character that was heavily affected by the blood and has magic and combat abilities.
Two flaws and a trait allowed
Give a character layout if you can

Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
Request #83 (ish)
I need a CR (yes it's an NPC) 12 ish batman. Or more a Robin I guess. He's his boss' willing hand (boss is large sized half dragon warblade) Needs to be able to fly and be invisible (ideally greater), teleport (him and the boss), heal (in an emergency) and ideally create walls of force or similar? Any ideas?
-
Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
Request #84?:
I would like to know if you have an idea how to create a character with the same fighting style as Jing (from the manga Jing: King of Bandits).
Basically:
Stealthy and acrobatic in and out of battle.
When in a fight he fuses his animal friend (a talking bird) with his right arm and shoots some kind of energy balls from the bird's beak. It can be a volley of small projectiles or a single big and powerful shot.
Level should be around 10-15. And the animal does not have to be a bird.

Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
Request #80
Comment: Requires the houserule that prone=flatfooted, but most people hardly even see that as a houserule. This build isn't too exotic, but is a personal favorite for core games
Concept: Bruiser with Tricks
Race/Class: Orc Barbarian 1 / Rogue 19
Components: Improved Trip, Guisarme or Spiked Chain, Armor Spikes
Result: Rage, use your newfound strength to trip things, then sneak attack 'em while they're down. If you watch Mixed Martial Arts, this'd be called "ground and pound". Your attack bonus suffers, but your high Str helps compensate and you don't need a high bonus for this approach anyway. Your damage, on the other hand, will be quite significant. And since you've got Rogue skillpoints, you'll have a lot more going on than most people would suspect. If you can get your Use Magic Device up high enough to use a Scroll of Tensor's Transformation, that might be loads of fun too. Oh, and try to get the feat "Extra Rage" from Complete Warrior, if you get the chance.
Request #81
Comments: I briefly toyed with the idea of having him as a Lord of Blades ripoff, but that's a bit too straightforward for me. Unfortunately, there's not all that many steampunk elements in D&D without ripping off Iron Kingdoms (which you might want to do)
Concept: Technological villain
Race/Class: Human Artificer
Components: Construct Grafter
Result: A human who's gradually changing himself and everyone around him into machines. Grab some Half-Golem guards, some Iron Defender Homunculus minions, and give him a variety of nasty wands and scrolls. Your only limit is gold.
