Re: Your favorite level 20 DnD 3.5 character class combinations
One of my favourite 20-builds was Eric Malfolitangous the Great and his build looked something like this; Bard 2/Cleric 2/Druid 2/Sorcerer 2/Wizard 2/Favoured Soul 2/Spirit Shaman 2/ Shugenja 2/Warmage 2/Wu Jen 2...not, perhaps, optimal in any way shape or form and I never actually played him, but he does have an awful lot of 1st level spells...
I apologise if I come across daft. I'm a bit like that. I also like a good argument, so please don't take offence if I'm somewhat...forthright.
Please be aware; when it comes to 5ed D&D, I own Core (1st printing) and SCAG only. All my opinions and rulings are based solely on those, unless otherwise stated. I reserve the right of ignorance of errata or any other source.

Re: Your favorite level 20 DnD 3.5 character class combinations
I'm actually a fan of taking classes all the way to 20, if they're decent enough classes. But here are a few multiclassed builds that I've found clever.
Rogue 2 / Swashbuckler 3 / Assassin 5 / Bladesinger 10
Factotum 3 / Incarnate 7 / Umbral Disciple 10
Binder 1 / Warlock 12 / Chameleon 2 / Hellfire Warlock 3 / whatever 2 (Half-Fey Savage Progressions LA is fun)
simple but good: Swift Hunter, Scout 4 / Ranger 16
simple but good: Daring Outlaw, Rogue 4 / Swashbuckler 16You can call me Draz.
Trophies:
Spoiler
Also of note:
- Winning Entry of Gestalt Build Challenge IV
- 3rd Place in Iron Chef XI (Blade Bravo)
- Judge of Iron Chef XXIII (Divine Champion)
I have a number of ongoing projects that I manically jump between to spend my free time ... so don't be surprised when I post a lot about something for a few days, then burn out and abandon it.
... yes, I need to be tested for ADHD.

Re: Your favorite level 20 DnD 3.5 character class combinations
The best? Or my favorite? If the latter, 20 levels in paladin without PrCs or anything. Mostly because no one ever does that, except me of course.
Fighter: "I can kill a guy in one turn."
Cleric: "I can kill a guy in half a turn."
Wizard: "I can kill a guy before my turn."
Bard: "I can get three idiots to kill guys for me."
Many thanks to Ink for my awesome avatar.

Re: Your favorite level 20 DnD 3.5 character class combinations
Right, but I was asking more about the prestige classes people were putting in - Virtuoso, Sublime Chord, Ur-Priest, etc.
Is there a master index to classes?
I think I found one - but What's "Conjurer" from, it's not on http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/lists/prc or http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/lists/class ?Last edited by Random832; 2009-07-22 at 04:44 PM.

Re: Your favorite level 20 DnD 3.5 character class combinations
Conjurer is just a fancy way of saying "I'm a wizard who specialized in conjuration at 1st level"
Edit: Ninja-ed
Personally for the best party buffer:
Bard 7/Marshal 7/Paladin of Freedom 6
You wanna tlak abotu buffing up the partie's stats passively?
Marshall can create minor and major aura, Paladin has passive party buffs, and then Bardric Music (I usually pick poetry or singing)
All of the buffs from the three classes stack. I was bumping everyone's stats up by leaps and bounds. And My character was fun to play.
Edit 2: I lost the gameLast edited by Croverus; 2009-07-22 at 04:52 PM.

Re: Your favorite level 20 DnD 3.5 character class combinations
Creativity notwithstanding
Melee fanboy reporting in.
Swordsage2 / Swashbuckler 3 / Fighter 2 / Dervish 10 / Exotic Weapons Master 3
Here's the funny part.
Name: Anemone, Champion of the Seelie Court
Race: Pixie
Primary Weapon: +3 Returning Drow Ripper Chain of Warning (base weapon Quintessential Drow 3.5 book).
Turns undead as a 18th level Cleric
SR of 35 (39 vs. [Evil] spells)
Flight 100' / round with Perfect maneuverability (items and class bonuses)
AC somewhere in the 50's
Can crit just about anything. 'Cept oozes.
Adds DEX, INT, and STR modifiers to damage.
Has 'True Seeing' permanancied.
In exchange for a reduced LA, I downgraded the Greater Invis to a standard Invis 3/day.
Feats include EWP ; Improved Trip ; Improved Disarm ; Flyby Attack ; Improved Flyby Attack ; Elusive Dance, and the standard Dervish stuff.
She is also a Bladedancer, Querim'Quar in the High Elven language. This is a fighting style (see Quintessential Elf) that she has adapted to her strengths (with DM approval).
Exotic Weapons Master you ask? Well, let me tell you.
+2 bonus on trip
Can throw weapon (thus Returning)
Flurry with said weapon, giving me ahem Insane amounts of attacks.
Notes on the 'Quintessential' books. These have been updated to 3.5 edition, and while they do provide some powerful alternatives, they are not without balance. Keeping in the spirit of the game, naturally, the EL's have been increased, and the entire build was balanced by 4 DMs (myself included) and 3 other players. Straight Vanilla DnD is kinda boring and too far built around spellcasters. Melee fanboys are forced look outside of the standard WoTC offerings for their obsession, and I have found a home with the Quintessential series.Funny, I always figured I'd be killed by a paladin.So, what you're saying is we rolled a 1 on our credit check?
