Oh, and now I remember why I think of shock trooper as a broken loop - it's because of Knockback so if you qualify and use them both you can: Charge/bullrush your foe. win the str check and push him into his ally 3 squares back, trip both of them, use your attacks on each, each attack giving...

I brought up combat brute last page when I was responding to your earlier post. Since sunder is an attack option you can use it as your bonus attack when tripping people - with combat brute you can then do whatever follows it - again, i'm not remembering exactly which tactic of which feat goes...

I guess you're right, but with the sunder action for what I was referring to, armed opponents typically can be spread around the battlefield like butter between charging, bullrushing, tripping and sunder with mass trips followed by bullrushes followed by sunder followed by whatever I'm not...

25-50 damage is a joke to a dragon or caster at what level? I'm assuming the dragon was young adult in which case it probably had 178 hp. 50 damage isn't by any means insanity, but if the one pc who is not designed soley to hurt things is taking less than 4 attacks to down the single largest...

Aerial combat. well so far the warlock gunned down 1 yrthak and put another to sleep, effectively killing him in that situation. Dragons won't be dealable in the same ways, but the rogue and warlock together can probably put out enough ranged damage to combat a dragon if that is the main focus...

I love some fresh opinions, thanks all. Despite higher than suggested CRs, this PC can still execute 25 damage strikes on the low end and somewhere near 50 with the right devoted spirit manuevers. Nothing to brag about but it's hard to say it doesn't contribute. @Sekhmet : You bring up a good...

I hope not, that goes against our gamining ethics. No character in our games is rolling dice and mentally adding numbers to hit creatures. Sure, a character wearing the thickest armor with the thickest shield might not be a suitable target when there is a skinny half elf nearby, but you can't...

^ Sure, to gain +3 shield bonus to ac they have to be in one of 12 adjacent tiles. But lets say that they aren't and that a large sized tank like this is threatening a knot of enemies around him. If the rogue/ninja is flanking one of those enemies he would at the very least gain a +4 sacred...

Sekhmet: my current party has armor, dex, dodge and insight bonuses to ac. I'm not even sure about the last. I'm betting the warblade and the rogue both have a +2-3 ring of prot, but even if it's +3 they can still gain an effective ac + capping at +12. Tank will probably always have a slightly...

Save or die? Well I don't want to thumb through the ToB right now but he's crusader/cleric/fighter/ruby knight which I think gives him a big boost to fort/will saves and with the disciplines offered to him I think there are 1 or 2 counters that will help out in this regard as well. Plus, for...
