[QUOTE="DwarvenMongoose, post: 5177837, member: 90073"] Thanks a lot all for your comments - This forum is really friendly! Lets say I don't like to play religious character for fluff reasons. I already have a good background story, and would like to stick to fighter. So, no avenger, nor priest. I know I could play an elven bard, but let's stay focused on a Dwarf Fighter build - I'm stubborn : that is what I want to play (been 15 years since I played a purely martial character, and I want to feel the fun of crushing skulls with a big hammer) Thanks for pointing out unbreakable, I'll look it up. And no, no superior weapons - I would love to get my hands on a Craghammer, but it's a no go. Battle awareness, I saw as a way to get initiative only when I need it most - I like to have an option in that regard. I like to have that bit of flexibility too, if I need to get the drop one someone. Still, I will look if I can get anything better at that level - it may effectively be a waste. I think Comeback Strike is already "reliable" - not as powerfull as a reroll, but still. I'll look for an alternative for sweeping blow - but again, I may find myself surounded. I'll play in the back, but I will probably often need to deal with more than one critter, as I suspect the pally and the rogue will go for a flank on the big bad one and I'll have to deal with the rest for a while. As I see it : Front line X X Paladin and Rogue Drop some critters, quickly try to drop the big guy/mage/etc X Me Manage to stop the other critter/strikers before reach the back X X Mage and Ranger Help us do our job by killing fast small things and/or slowing them The plan is to move between the front line and back line as needed - I will have the though decision to decide who I let pass (because Mage and Ranger can deal with them) and who I stop - and when to release the pression on the front line or when to get more active at the back. I'll need to keep track of everybody's HP and surges and manage to minimize the damage dealt to the group as a whole. This position also allows me to be the effective "medic" of the group with my heal skill. [/QUOTE]
