[QUOTE="faria, post: 6795802, member: 6780042"] I'm thinking of making a Bear Totem Barbarian/Circle of the Moon (Bear) Druid multiclass. There are a few good options: Barbarian 14/Druid 6, Barbarian 4/Druid 16, or Barbarian 3/Druid 17. Barbarian 14 gives the Totem capstone Totemic Attunement (Bear) and makes you an amazing tank. CoM Druid 6 for Circle Forms gives me access to the best bear in the game: CR2 Polar/Cave Bear. Another option would be Barbarian 4/Druid 16 for the Totem Spirit (Bear) and an ASI, then stronger Wild Shapes that aren't bear-related. Aww... Final option is Barbarian 3/Druid 17. You give up an ASI for a 9th level spell slot. Spells aren't really important with this build, but if that's your thing, go for it. Forest Gnome fits thematically for the druid dip, will be ridiculously fun to roleplay, and physical stats don't matter when Wild Shaped. Also, while in gnome form, the minor boost to Dex technically gets me higher Initiative to turn into a bear faster. 1: Barbarian 1. A few reasons to start with this class. First, Con saves are common and also useful for Concentration on the rare occasion that I use a spell. More HP, more weapon options, better skills, etc. 2-3: Barbarian 1/Druid 2. Get Wild Shape ASAP. Brown Bears are strong. 4-5/6: Barbarian 3 or 4/Druid 2. Totem Spirit (Bear) makes me a tank, keeps me in bear form longer. Can take Barbarian to 4 for 1st ASI too if you wish. 6-9/10: Barbarian 3 or 4/Druid 6. Get access to the Polar/Cave Bears. 1st/2nd ASI depending. Bear build is finished. 10/11-20: Go the direction you wish from here. What do you guys think? How would you point buy this character? [/QUOTE]
