By the way, because I'm a filthy thieving bastard who can't be bothered to minmax for himself, I snatched the backstory-fitting Magic-Blooded for myself.

Ehehe.

Also, can I prestige into Mindbender when the opportunity presents itself in a few levels?

[Harbingerjm]

I plan to take Mindbender myself, possibly as soon as next level.

[Tawa]

Dammit.

[Harbingerjm]

Why damnit?

[Tawa]

Dual prestige classes in the party; you can take it sooner than me as a result of having Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Sense Motive as class skills.

Oh well, I'll get more spells otherwise.

[Harbingerjm]

^.~ Wait, you were planning to go 10 Mindbender?
(Also, I don't have Intimidate as a Class Skill, sadly.)

[Nerjin]

It seems fine to take Mindbender. I'll allow it.

[Rolepgeek]

No idea if there's still room, but if there is, can I play as an adjusted version of my Duelblade?

Since we're meant to be evil, and he was effectively a killer for hire, I thought it would fit fairly well.

[Nerjin]

The other players took too long for there reserves to still count so yeah. As long as you get it to me before they get their sheet to me.

[Nerjin]

Rolep: Actually they have until 9pm [seven hours] to post a character because I don't feel good for penalizing them over sleep and possibly work. That said, feel free to put him up anyways.

Teal Quick Recconitor is fine, Swift Ambusher is fine. Travel Devotion is not however.

Harbinger Retraining will be allowed. I shoudl really purchase the PHBII at some point.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Question about Travel Devotion: Are the other devotion feats okay?
Knowledge, Strength, Death, Luck and Sun are some some examples.

[Nerjin]

Knowledge is fine, Strength is fine, Death is a no, Luck is no, Sun is fine.

Yeah, because then my build could go 10-10 even split. Mostly useful because I've heard the late-level Enchantment spells kinda drop off in usefulness after a while.

[My Name is Immaterial]

I've found something from the Player's Guide to Eberron, and had two questions:
1. Is it okay?
2. If so, do I lose the benefits if I lose my CON score later?

THE BLOODTOUCHED RITE
When an individual (usually an arcane spellcaster or a cleric) proves herself to be of particular worth to the undead leadership of the Blood of Vol, she is rewarded with participation in the Bloodtouched rite. Typically a character must be at least 3rd level to be so rewarded, though exceptions exist.
The ceremony requires a chalice brimming with blood donated by willing followers of the Blood of Vol. This chalice is the focus of extensive prayers, culminating when the officiating cleric channels negative energy into it. Once the chalice is prepared, it is passed around to the participants, who drink deeply from it.
A character who drinks from this chalice permanently loses 2 points of Constitution, but gains four benefits:

• Bonus hp equal to Charisma bonus (if any).
• +2 profane bonus on saves against poison, stunning, disease, death effects, and energy drain.
• +1 caster level on all necromancy spells.
• If the character is capable of rebuking undead, her effective cleric level for this ability is increased by 1.

The Constitution loss can't be prevented or reversed by any means. A creature without a Constitution score gains no benefit from the Bloodtouched rite.

Nerjin? May I use the Duelist feats from before, with some slight changes I'd like to run by you?

I'd like to make it a three-feat progression, with Duelist, Improved Duelist, and Greater Duelist. Possibly with side-feats such as Parrying Expert or something.

Duelist would require Weapon Finesse, Dodge, and Dex 15, and would give a +2 Dodge bonus to AC and a +1 comptence bonus to hit while wielding only one weapon in one hand and no shield, in addition to being able to add your Dexterity bonus instead of your Strength to melee damage rolls.
Improved Duelist would require Duelist, +6 BAB, and Dex 17, and would give another +2 Dodge bonus and +1 to hit while wielding only one weapon in one hand and no shield, and would also improve the critical rating or multiplier (don't know which one you'd rather, if not both) any weapons that can be Weapon Finessed that you wield by +1(rapier becomes 17-20 or 18-20/x3 handaxe becomes 19-20/x3 or x4)
Greater Duelist would require Improved Duelist, +11 BAB, and Dex 19, and would give another +2 Dodge bonus, and +1 to hit, as well as being able to parry attacks or something. I don't know. Much leas sure on this one. That or something akin to Flurry of Blows, I think(+1 extra attack at highest bonus while making fullattack and the whole one weapon no shield thing)

Also, more or less unrelated, but can Swordsages get Adaptive Style as a bonus feat? It's practically required for them, and if it isn't a bonus feat it's basically a feat tax(which is why they're typically considered the weakest of the ToB classes, in addition to their lower BAB).

And will Keen and Improved Critical be stacking?

Just trying to find ways to make my character concept work(the concept being a frighteningly competent swordsman, one whose never lost a straight-up duel - ever. Crossbows work just fine, as does treachery, or brute force, though. Still scary.)

If I can't go for Duelist, I might change a bit and go for Kukri Kritfisher with Blood in the Water, which I think suits an evil party (oh I'll just go charge up a bit by slaughtering civilians, brb) fairly well, too.
