[QUOTE="malcolm_n, post: 4692147, member: 63154"] I love trying my hand at these requests. I'd probably start with a spear fighter (great weapon build) so he can fight with a shield, but doesn't have to. I'll go 10 levels in for a good idea and suggest a Path - I'd take Tide of Iron and Crushing Surge for at-wills - at 1st level, I'd probably take Pinning Sweep (E) and Lasting Threat (D); Improved Vigor for a feat to emphasize the Spartan's lasting nature. - Utility 2 I'd take Shielded Sides, and Advance Lunge for Encounter 3; Surprising Charge for level 2 feat. - at 4, I'd put focus on Strength and Dexterity for better attacks and AC/Ref. I'd also consider Martial Alacrity as a feat for flavor and effectiveness. - Rain of Steel would be a decent level 5 daily and Unbreakable at 6; Shield Push would be a good level 6 feat - At 7 I'd probably take come and get it - level 8 I'd choose Weapon Focus (spears); and 9 would be good for Jackal Strike. I'd also take Defensive Resurgence at 10 For a paragon path, I'd take either Shield Adept or Pit Fighter. This would be my best choice for your average Spartan. If you're trying to mimic the main character from the movie instead, I'd multiclass Warlord for Stand the Fallen (D5), Stand Tough (U6) and Lion's Roar (E7). Not sure if this is what you had in mind, but I figured it's at least a decent build. [/QUOTE]
