Actually, in 3.5 rules, I think that if he cross-classsed from a druid he can't take any more druid levels anyway.Quote:

I loved stacking prestige classes in 3.5
As long as they stayed within a level or two of each other, you never had an XP penalty. I had an epic Dwarf of epicness. He also had armor that put most artifact armors to shame, all made within the rules. That armor was beyond supreme. Combined with his prestige class combo, he gave a new definition to the term "tank."
See, that's the exact kind of player I DON'T like... someone who uses prestige classes to become completely OP. It's the kind of thing that makes other people switch to 4th edition.Quote:

Most people seem to just want to jack up their power as high as they can get it, and tack on real character traits as an afterthought... those people aren't often fun to play with.
Even though my post started Trog's rant, I agree with you. I don't tend to stack for power, but rather for the experiences of the character. Aside from the epic dorf I spoke of, I generally had one of the least powerful characters in any given adventure group. It's more fun when there's an actual sense of mortality, and your character might fail. One of the most fun campaigns I ever had was a short-lived game where my whole group made characters using the "peasant" class. I was a fisherman. We all SUCKED at combat, and we ran like hell to survive an orc attack. It only lasted a few weekends, but it was so fun being in those characters.Quote:

For example, there was a Thri-Kreen Psiknife in my group once who was the most overpowered level one character I had ever seen. He was capable of single-handedly taking down an entire orc warband.
That player had a hell of a good time, but all the other players had no fun at all. So they ganged up on him and tried to kill his character. Being the DM, I jumped in and stopped it before the Thri-kreen massacred them all, but it goes to show you how finding all these exploits can pretty much ruin a good game.
Lol you guys.
YOu gotta be a Orc Ninja.
There is a 3.5 homebrew class called "Ninja of the Hidden Waters."
Any race can be one of them, and they basically act as a combination between a monk and a rogue. It's actually a pretty well made class. It's pretty damn fun to play as one, and it isn't OP.
So depending on what kind of ninja you want, you could be a ninja regardless of race.
...I think you need to get laid.
