DrObviousSo 10-24-06, 07:52 PM	(Or was it Githyanki? I can never remember.) Would it be wrong for me to say "What, they all look alike to you?" Yeah, it probably would be ;D

In general when someone is talking about a "gish" class/build there's a PC with max BAB and Spellcasting/Manifesting for their level.
