Your favorite level 20 DnD 3.5 character class combinations

[Arkhemedes]

My first post alright my favorite 20nth level character combination is a bard10/sublimechord10 because everyone underestimates the bard until now ( let the creativity flow)

[Pharaoh's Fist]

Ever try Bard8/Ur Priest2/Sublime Chord2/Mystic Theurge 8?

[JellyPooga]

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...

A Bard build I always wanted to try involved one level of Sublime Chord and then levels of Virtuoso.

[Pharaoh's Fist]

I think the standard bard build for that is Bard9/Virtuoso1/Sublime chord2/Virtuoso8

What does that do, exactly?

[Gnaeus]

It gives you 9th level cleric spells to go with your 9th level sorc/wiz spells.

[Elfin]

Warblade 20.
Because warblades are awesome.

[Draz74]

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 16

[Cicciograna]

level 20 wizard.

Same for me.

[grautry]

Same for me.

Thirded.

Or pretty much any full caster. It's not really about the power but simply about having tons and tons of new and interesting options and new goodies at every other level.

[Random832]

So what books are these classes from, anyway?

[Tafkan]

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.

[hamishspence]

Dungeonscape- Factotum
Complete Divine- Shugenja, Favoured Soul, Spirit Shaman
Complete Arcane- Warlock, Warmage, Wu-Jen
Complete Warrior- Hexblade, Swashbuckler, Samurai
Tome of Magic- Binder, Shadowcaster, Truenamer
Tome of Battle: The Book of Nine Swords- Warblade, Crusader, Swordsage
Magic of Incarnum- Totemist, Incarnate, Soulborn

These are just a few of the sources with 20 level classes.

[OMG PONIES]

Conjurer 3/Master Specialist 4/Malconvoker 5/Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil 7/LOL 1

[Random832]

These are just a few of the sources with 20 level classes.

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 ?

[lsfreak]

Conjurer as in wizard specialized in conjuration.

[Croverus]

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 game

[AslanCross]

Dungeoncrasher Fighter 6/Warblade 14.

[Gnorman]

Conjurer 3/Master Specialist 4/Malconvoker 5/Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil 7/LOL 1

Basically the same, though IotSV is just a little TOO cheesy for me.

I like:

Conjurer 3 / Master Specialist 4 / Mindbender 1 / Malconvoker 9 / Paragnostic Disciple 3.

I just REALLY like Telepathy.

level 20 wizard.

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.

Obviously I lost my Druid class abilities after drinking a potion that changed my alignment to CE. But it is okay because then I found a Helmet of Alignment Change to become LG.

You don't qualify for Eldritch Knight either...
