Casting Absorb Weapon on a foe's unarmed strike

Absorb Weapon (in the Spell Compendium and Complete Adventurer) specifies that the target weapon be "not in another creature's possession". Your own unarmed strike, though ...  :???

See your local Cleric for a quick salve of Blood Wind, and call me in the morning.

Frost Vortex. It's a double threat spell (Cold damage, plus a short duration Slow effect on a Reflex save). Better than that, it can be used like a trap, with a permanent duration until triggered. No expensive material components or xp costs, just a 5th level slot. Could be useful for trapping your lair on off-days, alongside Ghoul Glyph and Explosive Runes?

From Drow of the Underdark:
Despana School: It's like Martial Stance (thicket of blades) and Augment Summoning rolled into one. Note that you can use it with familiars and special mounts.
Eilservs School: Put this on a UMD rogue.
Versatile Combatant: Basically Two-Weapon Fighting and Close Combat Shot(!) combined, with easy prereqs; sure it's hand crossbows only, but DotU also has the better-known Hand Crossbow Focus

Critical Hit builds are NASTY!

Stalactite, a +3 weapon property from Underdark, petrifies the target on a critical hit (DC19).  "Save or die" properties are rare, but this one has a somewhat decent save DC and bypasses Death Ward as well as most immunities.  I only know of a handful of living creatures that are immune to petrification.

Rangers do have one major claim to fame: They're the only class that allows taking an Epic feat at level 12 (or earlier if you manage to get a new feat at 11).

The Uncanny Accuracy Epic feat allows you to ignore miss chances from all concealment, even total.  It also states
Quote from: SRD, Uncanny Accuracy
Special

A character with at least 11 levels of ranger can qualify for this feat even if he or she does not have the prerequisites for it, but can only use it when wearing light or no armor.

Making it the only Epic feat I know of that is available before level 21 (without Old Dragon cheese).

How are you firing 760k mouth darts in a full-attack? I thought it was only 3 darts per attack, not all of them.
Also, what's the War Domain association do (and for), and why do I fear that my first question will be answered by this one?
Oh, and how are you getting Aptitude on each of the mouth darts so you can actually apply Boomerang/Chakram Ricochet to the darts?

or sorry forgot Multiweapon Fighting... :-p

i'm firing them as offhand weapons, instead of as the 'same' weapon

War Domain rank 4 gives you free Aptitude

For people who like breaking the game by controlling unusual undead ( you have to have access to Krynn unfortunately)

Shadow Wight (Bestiary of Krynn) is a 6 HD incorporeal undead. Its strike does normal damage and d8 Charisma damage to living creatures.

A victim taken to 0 charisma loses her feeling of self so completely, she is wiped out of existence, not only killed beyond ressurection but forgotten by all who ever met her.

From Dragon #313:
Gore Toss. Prereqs: BAB +4, Gore attack; free AoO-less trip attempt after hitting with a gore attack.
Spirit of the Beast. Prereqs: Alternate form, Quick Change, Dex/Con 13; you can manifest your other form's natural weapons in humanoid form.

The Mind Mage from the same issue is also interesting. An 8/8/10 theurge PrC with CL/ML/save DC shenanigans, cheap Eschew/Silent/Still, and the ability to channel touch spells through powers. Plus it comes with a bunch of feats which let you expend spells to add effects to powers and vice versa.

So... it's a Tomogara?

Krynn is just plain funky. I love Dragonlance, but that bestiary. . .

For example, the Cedar Wretch at CR 4, gets 6 attacks at a +8 each. I placed one of these against 6th level characters, and one of them walked up. . . and got nailed by 2 hits and 2 crits. . . and died.

Another example, the Frost Dragon can also remove you from existence, and the Amphi-Dragon just shouldn't exist.

Yea, they got that "Sentient Essence of Primordial Chaos Seeking to Undo All Creation" thing going on. This results in some pretty freaky monsters.
