[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 1125001, member: 7808"] Besides the problems already mentioned with your first build, here are a few things that I see as potential problems with it: You first face the major problem that none of the PrCs you used are core. In fact, you used a total of 4 different non-core sources (3 splat books and one campaign setting). Because of that, it cannot be said that they are meant to be 100% balanced with core classes, as well as not meant to be used in conjunction with one another. You also have the problem of convincing a DM to allow you to use all of them. On top of all this, these are all 3.0 PrCs used with 3.5 core classes (which, admittedly, is probably a minor thing). You assume that you are a worshiper of a diety with the composite longbow as a favored weapon. I know of no such diety (though I don't have Forgotten Realms, so there could be one in there). If one existed, it would have to be within one degree of Lawful Good, which you are forced to be. You have 51 skills ranks required for the PrCs you named. Even without the problem of getting them at the right time, that leaves you with only about 15 skill points left to use as the player sees fit. This is not even enough to max out a single skill (and barely covers maxing out of Ride, since you already have 4 ranks in it as prerequisites). Since the original point of this thread was the fact that you thought Fighters didn't have enough skill points to spend, I don't see this as being a good thing. Finally, the base abilities required for this build are: Str: 13 Dex: 13 Con: N/A Int: 10 Wis: 11 Cha: 12 This is a total expenditure of 19 points, using the point buy system. From your description you wanted a character with good strength (for melee, and to get use of of a composite bow), dexterity (for riding and ranged combat), constistution (as hit points are needed for a melee fighter), and charisma (to get use out of smite and lay of hands). I don't see this as working out well for someone with point buy, and it would require some lucky rolling. [/QUOTE]
