[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 5514953, member: 12460"] Zerith, you've built a pretty good defensive character, but unfortunately it seems like you've put all your eggs in one basket. Your character seems to be able to do only one thing well, and that's take a beating. Unless the monsters are under the effect of your test of mettle, they are going to be pretty free to ignore you most of the time and go after your allies who are actually dealing damage. I'm not saying you can't play a knight, but I would strongly consider rebuilding with more damage-dealing potential in mind. You didn't even purchase a magic weapon. I know you are probably expecting the cleric or wizard to cast greater magic weapon, but that strategy isn't fool-proof. Spellcasting monsters know how to use targeted dispel magic. Also, I will let you swap out Mounted Combat for one of the feats on the knight's bonus feat list. There won't be a lot of opportunities for using a mount in this campaign. I also noticed you are bristling with weapons. I can think you have two means of storing these. The first would me your mount, which you generally won't be bringing into the dungeon. The second would be Heward's handy haversack. I generally only allow light weapons to be stored in Heward's handy haversack because of volume limitations; IMHO the item was designed to hold various tools, but not weapons. As for weapon storage, you can store two one-handed or light weapons (along your belt) plus one two-handed weapon (strapped to your back) on your person. Anything more requires extra hands to hold. Thus if you wanted to have a longbow and a greatsword, you'd need to be carrying one or the other at all times since both require two hands. Daggers and similarly small items might be exceptions. A dagger could be placed in a boot strap, or several along a bandoleer. You can also store weapons inside a bag of holding, assuming they are sheathed or padded to prevent the bag from being pierced. edit: Re: weapon focus. This feat works on an entire weapon group, not just one weapon. [/QUOTE]
