[QUOTE="garyh, post: 286327, member: 6078"] Warpriest would certainly work. As for TaB, true, anyone playing a HO arcanist is kinda asking for it, but I'm looking at things outside the standard HO Barb that would still give a good feel for the flavor of a HO. Let's look at the fighter PrC's from Sword and Fist. (I think we can all agree asking for a HO fighter PrC isn't TOO much.) :) Cavalier: Appropriate for a very civilized HO. Devoted Defender: Neutral. I don't see a lot of point to this class for anyone, but hey... Duelist: Only for a very untypical HO. Fist of Hextor: It works, but how many PC's worship evil gods? Ghostwalker: Neutral. If you want your HO (or anything else) to be a Clint Eastwood clone, this PrC's for you. If not, oh well. Gladiator: Very appropriate. Halfling Outrider: Racially Prohibited. Knight Protector with the Really Long Name: Racially Prohibited. Lasher: Very appropriate. Master of Chains: Would work, but the 13 Int for Expertise is a bit tough. The combination of 6 feat requirements and 14 ranks in non-fighter skills also makes it a long road. You have to go Fig/Rog to get the skills in a reasonable time, but then you slow down your feats, and come to think of it, there are WAY too many feats required for a lot of these SaF classes, but that's another rant. :D Master Samurai: Only for a very untypical HO (in a campaign that allows Eastern flavor in the first place). Order of the Bow: It works if you accidentally made your Half-ELF archer a Half-ORC. ;) Ravager: It works, but not well as a PC class. See "Fist of Hextor," above, regarding evil gods as well. Tribal Protector: Very appropriate. Warmaster: Workable, though emphasis on CHA (Diplomacy, Leadership) makes it a bit tough. Weaponmaster: It'd be great if it wasn't for the Expetise = Int 13 thing again. I guess you could look at that list and see a lot of options, or you could look at that list and see a lot of things that don't work very well. It's a "Are you a half-full or half-empty person" test, I suppose. [/QUOTE]
