If you want AC for an orc, fighter and cleric are two of your best options, particularly if you are low on GPs. Clerics is probably the stronger of the two choices IMO, assuming that you focus on beating on things rather than answering every little call for healing during a battle (get some...

Take the fire domain and the Fiery Burst feat from Complete Mage. Poke around in that book for other reserve feats.

If you're a dwarf, you might look at the Runesmith (Races of Stone).

A bit of a late post, but on the off chance that you're still looking for an answer... There were additional wizard, cleric, and druid spells in some of the other supplements, particularly some of the Gazeteers. The boxed set featuring Thyatis and Alphatia had quite a few, particularly ones...

We used it. It did add some complexity, but you didn't really see most of it until you reached higher levels. Higher level characters benefited greatly from it and it also gave a reason to use some of the non-standard weapons.

The RC also received my vote. The BECMI edition of the game often gets overlooked despite having a few nice sections of rules that don't exist anywhere else, particularly the Companion set. For this reason it gets my vote, despite my still having my copy that I bought when it was new. The...

Well, I'm not a regular PF player, but have played 3.5 with high AC characters (both as player and DM) a number of times. A few things come to mind with making the mooks more effective: 1. Aid Another. Use it. 2. If they need a 20 to hit, go for broke. Power Attack. Rapid Shot. Who cares how...

Like many of the other posters, I've also detected a sense of apathy over the playtest amongst the various players that I've talked to. And the players who simply don't care about a new edition seems to greatly outnumber those who do. That doesn't bode well to me. Anger or excitement are...

Another good aid is picking up a copy of some of Clark Ashton Smith's works. Reading them gave me some insights into the characters featured in the Averoigne portion of the adventure.

I have to be honest, Monte leaving makes me incredibly dubious that D&D Next is going to work. He was the man behind 3/3.5E in the minds of the majority of the players out there (myself included). If he can't work with the project, it makes me think that the project isn't going to work for the...

The orc shotput might be kind of fun. You might have some encumberance issues packing enough for the number of attacks you're talking about though...

Well, if he's going to insist on going down this route, I think that a gnome is a better choice than a halfling. Take a look at the Titan Fighting feat from Races of Stone.
