[QUOTE="Mighty Halfling, post: 5380442, member: 13134"] Thanks for all the replies. One thing I should have mentioned ... at the moment, the DM isn't allowing anything from the Player's Handbook, so awesome feats such as [I]Hold the Line[/I] and sourcebook classes are out. (Prestige Classes are OK, he says.) Still, with a little whining, I might get some of those back in. :) I particularly appreciate the ideas for the cleric. They heavy use of [I]Bull's Strength[/I] will be great. And [I]Combat Reflexes[/I]? GREAT idea. For my Rogue build, I will probably stick with the Heavy Pick. I just love picks because they're so rarely used. I agree on the math you present though. Just going for the amusement of having a pick over the raw numbers of a scimitar. For the Wizard, a good point is made. I'll definitely take Necromancy over Evocation as my specialization. The Paladin Gnome threads you point to rely on non-PHB sources, so I'll have to be especially whiny to get all that. Still, if the numbers work out, I'll give it a try. I do my rolls this evening, so I'll jump back on to let you know how things went. For anyone else, I'll take additional suggestions all through character creation tonight. I have a smart phone, so I can check in! [/QUOTE]
