[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 2473367, member: 478"] We just lost our Barbarian/.../Dragon Disciple, so I guess it's the big, universal equation, that there must be someone creating one now to keep the balance. ;) Dragon Disciple is definitely a fighter class, not a spellcaster, but that seems to be the route he wants to go, so that is covered. With those stats, he will probably be quite effective, too. :) As Jack already said, you need only one level in a spellcasting class to cover the requirements, and that is probably the best way, too... or was, before Complete Adventurer, since now 4 levels of sorcerer can actually be quite appealing with spells like [i]Wraithstrike[/i] available at 2nd level. He'll have quite a few spell slots to cast that eventually. Here's an example, how it could look like: Human Barbarian 1/Sorcerer 4/Dragon Disciple 0 (not yet ;)) Str 18 Dex 15+1 Con 18 Int 13 Wis 10 Cha 12 [b]Hit Points:[/b] 12+4d4+20 (44 hp - that's about what a fighter with a 14 Con has at this level) [b]Skills:[/b] Climb 4 ranks, Jump 4 ranks, Intimidate 4 ranks, Listen 4 ranks, Survival 4 ranks, Swim 4 ranks, Knowledge (arcana) 8 ranks, Concentration 8 ranks [b]Feats:[/b] Extra Rage (1st), Power Attack (human), Cleave (3rd), (Combat Expertise (6th), Improved Trip (9th)). [b]Spells:[/b] 1st - [i]Shield[/i], [i]True Strike[/i], [i]Critical Strike[/i]; 2nd - [i]Wraithstrike[/i]. [b]Equipment:[/b] Greatsword, Mithril Breastplate, etc. With mithril armor, the arcane spell failure is low enough to be feasible (even the 25% from mithril full plate), sometimes a spell won't work because of that, but I wouldn't worry about it too much, just do not run around in heavy armor (it would also reduce the nice fast movement, anyways). Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
