I've got an idea that goes a bit far afield from your starting point, but will accomplish your design goals. Consider monk or a 2 level monk splash. Specifically, the maneuver master archetype. It meshes pretty well with the fighter lore warden archetype. I'm typing on a phone right now. If...

Next step is to figure out your order of priorities. I get the impression it's along these lines: 1) high AC 2) strong melee controlling ability 3) accuracy 4) skills 5) resilience 6) doing damage (with good crits) Is that a fair assessment?

I have a couple of questions that should help us help you better. 1) What is the rest of the party going to be? 2) What can you tell us about the campaign and setting? 3) Any play style preferences you have.

Cool! If I have anybody to bring into the fold, I'll definitely give that a shot.

I've heard a number of people say the beginner box is excellent. What is it that sets it apart?

I really wish I was running a game right now so I could playtest some of this stuff. Out of curiosity, how much of this material are you planning on releasing back into the OGL wilds?

After we finished our 4e game, we started up our current game of E6 Pathfinder. It truly nails all the criteria you laid out there, Mercurius.

I'm playing in an excellent Dark Sun game right now. If you want to geek out about the setting, I'm your huckleberry. -blarg

I'm ashamed to admit that it took me this much time to realize that this thread is about helping a priest touch things offensively.

When in doubt, ask yourself how they'd do it on Girl Genius. I think the answer is pretty clear: they'd take a source of electricity and use it to power a clockwork launcher that propels lengths of railway at high speeds. Naturally, it would be called a railroad gun.

*facepalm* Dear self, repeat after me: Don't give your DM ideas. *double facepalm*

For what it's worth, melee touch attack bonus is keyed to Strength, rather than Dexterity. -blarg

Extra special note for anybody who wants to improve their skill in any game at all ever: learn how to milk the action economy for every single smidgen of advantage. Start with Lanchester's Laws. Your life will never be the same. -blarg ps - If the Wikipedia article is daunting, try this one...

A single optimized PC at any level can increase the party's effectiveness massively. If you have multiple, optimized, high-level characters and they're engineered to force-multiply each other, then you've got your work cut out for you. Here are some suggestions: 1) Split the party. The...

If you got to take the half-dragon template for cheap, I wouldn't worry about the duplicate abilities. If it was expensive, there was a ritual in a 3.5 book that let you change the type of dragon blood you carry (ie from red dragon to blue dragon). See if your DM is kind enough to let you use...

To simulate a non-random skill-based game like chess, I would use relevant modifiers plus 2d10 or 3d6 to resolve opposed checks. The distribution curves would tend to significantly favour the more skilled player.

Some other options of varying power levels to choose between: 1) Bump the HD up to d10s. 2) Add a couple of new class skills. 3) A scaling bonus to Tumble, similar to how trapfinding works in PF. 4) Flavour tweak: make them psionic by giving them Wild Talent for free. Perhaps not at first...

The Ur-Quan from Star Control 2. Of course, if you have Ur-Quan, you kind of have to bring in the Dnyarri. While you're mining that game, it would be very nearly criminal to leave behind the Zoq Fot Pik. Some of the alien races in David Brin's Uplift series are thoroughly enjoyable. The...

I'm given to understand that the numbered demons were to get around problems caused by inappropriately concerned fundies.

Autohypnosis is very nearly a made-up synonym for self-discipline.
