[QUOTE="Pickles JG, post: 4379421, member: 61501"] If he were a two weapon fighting Ranger with a javelin & longsword & the TWF feats he would be +3 prof d8+1 damage main hand & +2 prof d6 damage off hand. He gets the same +1 to AC & Reflex as a light shield from his feat. He can throw his javelin as a ranged attack - though he needs a magic one to really get it working & returning (or "rebounding"). This is a the baseline for what he gets with the shield recoloured as a Javelin. I suspect this would not have quite enough flavour. If instead he took light shield proficiency feat & the Monk unarmed ability instead of martial (d8 +3 prof) & another feat that let him bash with his [I]light[/I] shield as an unarmed attack (while retaining AC boost!) he would be slightly better in melee & would need something like a magic shield that has the property can add its enhancement bonus to damage for bash & thrown attacks & can be used as a thrown weapon. (I reckon this would be like a 3-4 level item for +1) He would then be a tad stronger than my javelin ranger but that's OK as it needs a specific magic item & the javelin build is very suboptimal. Ranger is a very good fit - is it the player's view of the character that it is more defendery or yours :P [/QUOTE]
