[QUOTE="Sezarious, post: 6874297, member: 6792106"] Ok so here i think is what MAY work. I didn't much like your starting Ability scores because i couldn't shuffle them about much, trying to keep in mind MC Ability score prerequisites too. Here's my suggestion, similar to a previous suggestion above but just my take on all the details: Stout Halfling - Bear Totem Barb 5, Hoardbreaker Hunter Ranger 3 Str:20 Dex: 12 (Becomes 14) Con: 18 (Becomes 19) Int: 10 Wis: 16 Cha: 10 AC: 18 (Half plate 15+ Dex mod 2 + Dual Weapon Fighting 1) HP: 90 (12 from barb lv 1, (4X7=)28 from barb lvs 2 to 5, (3X6=)18 from Rang lvs 1 to 3 + (8X4=)32 from con mod) Speed: 35ft Standard 3 attacks at +8 (1d8+5 each), 4 attacks whenever enemies stand within 5 ft of each other. When out of Rages, consider using Hunters Mark for extra 1d6 damage per hit. I suggest eventual Ranger 4 Barbarian 8, Fighter (Champion or Battlemaster) 8 This will give you enough ASI's to max out Dex and Con with 2 ASI's to spare, also it will give you a second fighting style, which you can put into defense. When Dex and Con are increased twice, take your armor off, when they're maxed, your ac will be 22! My suggestions for those 2 ASI's/feats you'd have to spare? Well, looking at action economy, maybe sentinel, or maybe defensive duellist, OR how's this... Ritual Caster, Where the ritual you get from it is Phantom Steed. Summon a riding dog and dual wield Lances.... Mwuhahahahah. [/QUOTE]
