Only Allowed Sourcebooks: Savage Species, Magic Item Compendium, PHB, DMG, and MM I
Builds:
Anthromorphic Bat Cleric 3/Wizard 3/Mystic Theurge 1/Illithid Savant 11
Multiheaded Illithid 4*2
Doppleganger**3
*Uses a +1 Piercing Stygian Rapier to try to nova in melee via level loss
**Probably going to use level drain shenanigans to just have the LA and have 4 levels of rogue, may also be an air elemental from Savage Species
1Supposed to be healer/arcanist, used illithid savant to get 22 ranks in Concentration, probably going to take three levels of illithid savant in all before just focusing on mystic theurge. Until then probably +1 mystic theurge +1 illithid savant +1 mystic theurge....
2Supposed to be a more general character, uses SLAs a lot & has a high Charisma.
3Supposed to be rogue damage dealer/"tank", trying to level drain to get sneak attack dice and having a high con/AC.

What are your opinions of the general lay out thus far?
EDIT: The anthropomorphic bat may actually take 5 levels in illithid savant to get the choker's Quickness ability. Or... he could steal the Acquire Special Attack or Special Quality ability of a higher level illithid savant....

On the illithid savant:

1. Does the DM know what class he is allowing? Illithid Savant is... maybe not the most broken prestige class, but it comes close.

2. How does the character qualify, anyway? Your spellcasting ability of both sides is too low for any kind of polymorphing cheese, and you're not an illithid.

He bought a use of polymorph any object. NOTE: the multiheaded illithid changed to a feral orc barbarian. FYI: this is supposed to be a relatively high optimization level: the illithid savant even is planning to use level drain/restoration cheese to make farmable illithid savants out of baleen whales... So he would... If it works... Theoretically infinite uses of acquire class ability/feat/etc. that a level 6 illithid can use.
