[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 1025205, member: 707"] I'll roll for my stats on Sunday (the DMs using a special system where we roll for stat sets that he has charted out) and that will determine a lot. If I have good enough stats to put a 14 or so into strength, I may start out taking Dodge, Mobility, Expertise as my starting feats, and just using my strength with the whip as my standard attack, and a longsword if I need to help flank (I plan on buying a spiked gauntlet to threaten when using the whip). Then pick up Improved Trip (or Disarm? Is one better than the other?) at 6th, and push Spring Attack back to 9th. Though I would prefer not to take fighter levels at this point (at least until 10th so I can get my greedy little hands on [i]Dimension Door[/i],) if the campaign winds up being more hack-and-slash than anything else, that'll be my first move.I agree with you absolutely. A Mithril Chain Shirt isn't really necessary for my PC. Eventually, though, I'd like to get a mithril medium armor (which would then be light) for the added AC bonus. Note that my DM has come up with custom armor stats, and the medium and heavy armors provide a slightly better AC bonus than the core rules. Celestial mithril scale is what I'll be shooting for.
