[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5738631, member: 35909"] As for builds, here's one I started working on (unfinished). It's not optimal as I was basing the character on a real life historical badass and chose curses to match, but seems decent. I built using just the core, APG, and Ultimates, so no Cornugon Smash. I'm really questioning how useful Intimidating Glare and a DC ~18 Terrifying Howl really is at his level, though, it'd probably be better to get rid of those rage powers and possibly the Dreadful Carnage chain and just do Cornugon Smash. :( [b][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otani_Yoshitsugu]Ōtani Yoshitsugu[/url], The Epitome of the Way of the Samurai (ECL 13)[/b] [sblock]NG Half-Elf Invulnerable Rager Barbarian 8 / Dual-Cursed Oracle 1 / Barb +4 Str 18, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 11, Cha 12 (25 PB) HP: xxx [+39] (12d12 +1d8 +52 +13 favored class) Str 21 (25) [31], Dex 14 (18), Con 14 (18) [24], Int 13, Wis 10, Cha 12 (14) AC: 27 [25] (10 +9 armor +4 dex +1 insight +2 deflect +1 natural) Touch: 17 [15]; FF: 23 [21] Saves: Fortitude +15 [18], Reflex +11, Will +9 [12] (+2 vs. enchantment, +4 vs. disease) BAB +12/+7/+2; CMB +19 [22], CMD 36 [37] Feats: 1 Skill Focus (Intimidate) [Half-Elf] 1 Power Attack 3 Furious Focus 5 Step Up 7 Combat Reflexes 9 Extra Revelation (War Sight) 11 Intimidating Prowess 13 Dreadful Carnage Skills (65): Acrobatics +19 (13 ranks +3 class +4 dex -1 acp) Climb +10 [13] (1 rank +3 class +7 str -1 acp) Heal +4 (1 rank +3 class) Intimidate +34 [37] (13 ranks +3 class +2 cha +7 str +6 focus +3 competence) Know (history) +5 (1 rank +3 class +1 int) Know (nature) +5 (1 rank +3 class +1 int) Know (planes) +5 (1 rank +3 class +1 int) Know (religion) +5 (1 rank +3 class +1 int) Perception +18 (13 ranks +3 class +2 racial) Spellcraft +5 (1 rank +3 class +1 int) Survival +6 (3 ranks +3 class) Swim +10 [13] (1 rank +3 class +7 str -1 acp) Class: Fast Movement, Greater Rage (+6 str/con, +3 will, -2 AC; 30 rounds/day), Invulnerability (DR 6/--; DR 12 vs. nonlethal), Extreme Endurance (Endure Elements [heat] and fire resist 3), Lame Curse (-10 ft speed; immune to fatigue; not slowed by encumbrance), Wasting Curse (-4 on non-Intimidate cha checks; +4 saves vs. disease), Battle Mystery, Misfortune Revelation (Immediate, cause creature w/in 30 ft to reroll, limit once/creature/day) Rage Powers: 2 - Intimidating Glare, 4 - Reckless Abandon, 6 – Guarded Life, 8 – Terrifying Howl, 10 - Flesh Wound, 12 - Come and Get Me Spells (CL 1): Level 0, infinite/day, DC 12: Detect Magic, Guidance, Light, Spark Level 1, 4/day, DC 13: Bless, Cure Light Wounds, Entropic Shield Equipment: +3 Nodachi +3 Mithral Breastplate Str +4 Dex +4 Con +4 Cha +2 Circlet of Persuasion Dusty Rose Iuon Stone Ring of Protect +2 Natural Armor +1 Cloak of Resistance +3 Potions of Invigorate[/sblock] [sblock]Yoshitsugu was at the head of about 600 men, with another 4000 or so under Toda Shigemasa, Hiratsuka Tamehiro, Ōtani Yoshikatsu (his son), and Kinoshita Yoritsugu.
