Unless Afina says she's interested in crafting anything, I'll sell it.

As for Mystra, I doubt I'll follow her again, unless she starts becoming more active with us once we recruit one of her guys or something. One of the reasons Ithea supposedly went lapsed follower was disappointment in Mystra's lack of activity/involvement. Barring a good change in that, Ithea wouldn't start following her again.

Okay, note the purchase in loot. Fair enough on the second, really just tossing ideas out now.

And fuck wild mage.

27 gives you a heartbroken look before gnawing on the wall.

You could go Green Star ADept and go MECHA KITTY?

How about Celebrex from Dragon Compendium?

I'll have to look at that, I guess. Dunno anything about it

I'm really just firing out ideas here.

Planeshifter from Manual of the Planes, maybe? It could help you with your own plane shifts.

Bonus DM nagging!

Could you guys spell out what classes you're planning to take for the next five or so levels? I don't know is a valid answer, but if you do tell me. Also, what feats are you grabbing at 21, 24 and any bonus feats? Thanks, doing some DM work and it would be useful to know.

19: Druid 19//Ardent Dilletant 4
20: Druid 20//Ardent Dilletant 5
     +1 to Charisma
21: Custom PrC//Scout
     Epic Spellcasting
22: Custom PrC//Scout
23: Custom PrC//Scout

I'm open for suggestions!
What if they're not stars at all? What if the night sky is full of titanic far-off lidless eyes, staring in all directions across eternity?

Anastasia

Base classes, eh? More rogue gets more SA and eventually rogue talents. Not bad depending on what you use them on. More monk gives you monk stuff, not great but it couldn't hurt depending on ACFs. You have full casting already, so I'd be thinking depth and boosting what you have. If all else fails you could go druid on that side for the bonus epic feats.

Also, are we talking a dip or a real level investment here?

Casual suggestions. Obviously bear on mind stepping on toes with things like sentinel, scout or factotum. Dunno if they care, but fair warning.

Barbarian: Rage while shapeshifted. +10 movement isn't bad. Most of the rest isn't worth too much for you barring ACF shenanigans.
Fighter: Feats. Always useful, never really excels.
Sentinel (paladin variant): Anti evil outsider NG paladin. Misalea uses it. Not bad but it is a paladin class so beware of all that brings in.
Ranger: Combat style isn't much for you, but you get a few bonus feats and odds'n'ends. If you get one of the favored enemy feats it might have some merit, but it would require a serious investment. The spellcasting is completely wasted on you.
Sor/Wiz: Casting dip. Probably not worth a lot since you already have one set of spellcasting.
Psionics in general: See sor/wiz. Psychic Warrior is an option if you want a small dip for a few bonus feats.
Ninja: Jokes aside, it doesn't really offer you much besides invisibility that's likely to be bypassed anyway.
Scout: Skirmish isn't bad since you do a fair bit of mobile combat, has some okay synergy with druid's nature-y abilities.
Savant: A shit load of little things spread out all over. Plays into the wiseman(turtle) angle, though it's not mechanically earthshattering.
Factotum: It's been done by Ithea'n'Sylvie, but it's not a terrible 3+ level dip.
Incarnum: I don't know it, but Merc got some use out of it in B2. It may be worth investigating. Same with vestiges and ToM.

Incarnum's not really worth getting into at this point probably.

How does it work versus late level dipping, anyway? Does it scale at all?

Ithea, your sheet init is only +10. You have +6 dex and +4 improved init, but don't you get int to init from Factotum 3?

It scales well enough, it's just that the bonuses aren't particularly exciting for Yuth that he couldn't probably get better from another class unless he wants some investment, as far as I can tell.

In Dana's case I said it might work as a dip for her because she was lawful neutral and she could get bonuses to melee attack rolls as an incarnate. She doesn't qualify anymore since her alignment changed as an aside.

He'd probably have wanted to grab some incarnum feats, but at epic levels he'd probably want to use his feats on the epic ones, obviously.

Anastasia

Probably. This is why I try to be done with base class dips by epic. You struggle to integrate level 1-2 stuff in, oftentimes.
