    Martial Weapon Proficiency: Greatsword.

    Weapon Finesse, Darkstalker, Tactile Trapsmith (if your Dex is substantially higher then your Int), and I'd go for the TWF chain, but it depends on your style of rogue.

    Yes. A dwarf fighter has proficiency with a longbow, but odds are they'd do better with a composite longbow built to to thier strength.

    You may be better served by taking a level (or three) in Swashbuckler.

    Or take one level of rogue, three of swashbuckler, and then the Daring Outlaw feat.

    You forgot Craven. The best feat for any rogue who ever intends to be in combat.

    Also, it's not a feat but you should prolly get the Penetrating Strike alternate class feature from Dungeonscape.

    And if you're up for a 1 level dip into swordsage that does wonders as well. A 1 level dip at level 9 gets you Assassin's Stance (+2d6 Sneak Attack damage) and a bunch of maneuvers (Cloak of Deception is nice, greater invisibility for the round). Grab the feat Shadow Blade and you get Dex to damage. Adaptive Style will let you refresh your maneuvers in combat but prolly isn't worth it if you are only doing the 1 level dip.

    I didn't play D&D for 6 years, and I started again last week. Last time I had PHB it was 3rd edition. I read PHB 3.5, FR Campaign Setting and PHB II. I need some explanations:

    In what book I can find Darkstalker, Tactile Trapsmith and TWF chain?

    I found Swashbuckler in PHB II and there says that this class appears in Complete Adventurer but I cannot find it. Where I can found its basic attack, and save modifiers?

    Were I can find Daring Outlaw and Craven feats?

    Where I can find swordsage and feats Assassin's Stance, Cloak of Deception, Shadow Blade, Adaptive Style?


    After all this is it wise to spend one feat on Martial Weapon Proficiency: Greatsword?

    And lastly is there a book where I can find all races or all classes?

    Thanks

    No. Use a rapier or short sword, trading in for a Sun Blade (in the SRD, I think) later on.

    It's a bastard sword that can be wielded as a short sword. 2000 gp, i think.

    It is a free, online collection of most of the stuff you need to run a basic 3.5 Edition game.

    But thanks for the list!

    Genasi won't be online, since they're part of Faerun. Basically, anything that's setting-specific (like Genasi) or Wizards of the Coast proprietary (like beholders and mindflayers) won't be online - or at least not legally. There are several spells whose names have are different between the PHB and the SRD because of this. It's called "Mage's Disjunction" in the SRD since the name of the mage in question is proprietary.

    Actually not quite. Copyright law is complicated and you could post that stuff under fair use but most people don't for various reasons and linking to such a site is a violation of the boards rules.

    I'd rather not have to deal with Messrs. Jones and Rodriguez to prove the point.
