I've been wanting to use/find out about some feats/items/weapons in books that I don't have yet. (and due to my current location, I'm unable to get any new books without undue difficulty and expence)
So I was wondering, would anyone mine telling me about some feats/items/weapons from Complete Warrior, PHB 2, etc... Along with any requirements, benifits, changed rules, or variants of course.
The books I own are the Dungeon Master's Guide, the Player's Handbook, Complete Adventurer, Items and Equipment Guide, and Masters of the Wild, with a Monster Manual and Oriental Adventures on the way.
The specific feats that I'm wanting to know about are Ranged Pin, Ranged Disarm, Ranged Sunder, and Defencive Archer. ( I focus my char on archery obviously ) And I'm wanting to know about the comp. greatbow from Complete Warrior.
My upcoming campaign's party consists of (as of right now anyway) a fighter, a ninja, a sorceress, and a samurai. There are 2-3 more players joining in, but I don't know what they want to play yet.
Any help would be appreciated.

go to crystal keep.com; their is a plethora of stuff there and the book you can find it in; is a very helpful resource for a guy like me what has almost every book and can't remember which book has what as well as for the guy who doesnt have much and would like to see what is worth owning. It doesnt have everything; but it is a good place for you to start. Hope you find it helpful.

hehe WOC makes good money off me from this site as I keep seeing things in books I have to own :)
Thank you. The site did prove useful. ^ ^
But do you have any suggestions as to aid my players/chars? Playing only archer characters seems to have limited my creativity when working with melee/sword & board chars, be they PCs or NPCs.

Zen Archery for the win, if your character has a high Wisdom. My player's druid has this, and it's downright scary at higher levels.
the PHBII is pretty good at showing how personality A-G, goes with Class 1-12, with feat chain alph-omega, in party red-violet, etc.
Don't forget that the ph has a good 40 feats in it. While all that fancy stuff from the other books is cool, if you are not very experienced with it, it can be just fancy stuff. I have rarely seen any character (at least since the 'completes' started) finsih a single feat chain just from the ph. imho there is nothing boring in those feat chains even if the new books are fancier. I have a similar feeling about all the new prestige classes where no one plays the DMG which are good (playable and fun) pcs.

Um... O.o Come again?

This is true, but my intent is to grant my players more/niftier options while in combat. My upcoming game is a low-magic campaign, so I'm expecting clever feat/skill usage to be paramount.
And tell me more of this "Zen Archery." I am quite curious. From what I gather, you apply your wis bonus to ranged attacks instead of dex, correct? Requirements?

Complete Warrior, page 106. Yes, Wisdom instead of Dexterity, you can only use bows, I think. I don't have the rest of the details, sorry! (And I wouldn't post the complete info anyway...copyright and all...)
However, elven druid with Zen Archery = scary stuff.
Though interesting, my archers are always dex reliant, I've got a couple PCs that might help though...
I'll have to remember that feat. Thanks for the info Lilith.
