So, I've got these hard core black & white thinkers in my play group who think that everything is all-about the single class or more specifically, the full caster progression level classes because nothing is better than a 9th level spell. They ridicule me for mentioning build from this board (for instance the mystic theurge is just junk because dipping caster levels even 1 level is stupid).

We are currently playing in a level 17 good campaign and my goliath monk (1 ecl) proved to be virtually useless last night against the ancient red dragon or wu-jen summoned monoliths (i didn't take toooo much damage, but monks are more close combat oriented, less bringing down BBEM than wiping up the BBEG)

We have all of the 3.5 "Complete" series, Unearthed Arcana, Races of Stone, PtgF, MoF, UnEast, UDark and Psionics (but we don't use that after the Elan fiasco of 2004)

I need someting wicked good that is either warlock based, uses spells and melee (dagger spell, enlightened fist) or has dual casting classes (arcane and divine).

Now, when we play, sometimes the group is altered of faculties and I'm a really bad rules guy, so I'll need a spoon fed build with instructions AND a good set of debating points and strategies to prove the build.

In the game, My Goliath monk will be leading the entire race and our select group of near epic do-gooders on a raid of Thaymount to save the children of our race, so it would be a good way to die and have an excuse to bring in a funky powerhouse.

Our group has now:
1 Paladin of Tyr
1 Cleric /Contemplative of Tyr
1 Barbarian
1 Rogue
1 Wizard
1 Goliath Monk sub-optimized chain tripper (me)


Anyone want to make my friends unhappy? :P

not for the sake of optimizatized fun, but for great damage dealer, pure warmage could defenalty arch a few eyebrows

in my group my vamp rouge 7/custom prc 5/range 2/ couldnt compair to the damage the warmage 16 in the group was doing, unless i managed sneak attack...
that edge is kinda powerful if u get the right gear and extra edge :devil:
but beyond damage dealling spells, there are VERY few non combat spells :rant:

its in Complete Arcane read it!

Play a Dweomercheater and show them what it means to multiclass.

A divine Dweomerkeeper doesn't even need to multiclass - just take Magical Training (PGtF) to get the arcane spells.
