Re: Unique and Fun builds for 3.5
It's mildly dorky, but there's a way to play Llyan from The Chronicles of Prydain. Pick your race as Tibbit. Then choose two levels in a full-bab base class. I prefer Ftr1/Barb1. Then qualify for Stoneblessed (Goliath). By level 3, you count as a Goliath for racial prerequisites.
Now retrain your Barb1 level to use the Goliath Barbarian racial substitution level. Pick up Mountain Rage. Now when you rage, you gain +6 Strength and become a Large creature. You are now playing Llyan.Characters I've enjoyed playing for more than four sessions:
Falgar the Swiftblade
Revain Sumeth, Whip Fighter Extraordinaire
Malvin Firel, Cleric of Corellon, Destroyer of Undeath
Vongur Dorent, Primeval Champion of Poverty
In defense of the Vow of Poverty

Re: Unique and Fun builds for 3.5
I had a crazy cat lady build.
Mongrel Folk Druid 1/wizard 1/Sorc 1/Totemist 2/Beastmaster 10
Pertinent feats: wild companion, share soulmeld
The wizard and Sorcerer levels sub out their familiar for animal companions. Wild companion basically gives you another. In a nutshell, this build will give you up to 8 animal companions. You use share soulmeld, with the Manticore Belt bound to their totem Chakra. Maxed out, you will be able to fire off 72 spines a round. That is maxed out, but the combo is engaged at level 5, with 4 cats. Between them and you, that is at least 10 possible d6 damage attacks.
Mongrelfolk wasn't integral to the build, but drives home the crazy cat lady aesthetic.

Re: Unique and Fun builds for 3.5
Artificer 1/Kaorti 2/LA +2/Fiend of Possession 2/Artificer +4 has funny uses with the Web Enhancement that defines Kaorti ribbon weapons as a special material. Because it allows you to replace the normal GP cost of making Masterwork weapons and armor with 50% the market price in XP, and go down to 35% the base cost at 1 XP=5 GP as a replacement Magic Item crafting procedure. This means that when Retain Essence destroys anything made this way, you get back everything you spent on the base item and lose 65% less GP on the magic.
The ordering here is not-quite-RAW backstory abuse of Vile Transformation to have the Kaorti RHD fulfil the Fiend of Possession skill requirements for a clean early entry. At-will Etherealness at ECL 6 is lovely, free floating enhancements are great even at +2, Bestow Curse on contact may function as an on-hit effect, and hiding yourself in one of your items lets your cheap-to-change arsenal be carried through a lot of things. Artificer +8 gets you to CL 15 item requirements like 8th level spells and making them Intelligent, with LA buyoff letting you also reach FoP 5.

Re: Unique and Fun builds for 3.5
A build i want to try is to do Sorcerer 5, Fighter 5, Spell Sword 10. Mostly I just want casting on a guy in full plate for some utility stuff. Is this a great build? no. I figure it would function well enough for premade adventures or low op campaigns though.
the first half of the meaning of life is that there isn't one.
