There's not a huge amount of min-maxing going on here, and I limited myself to PHB1 stuff for the most part (aside from being a half-orc). You could also go dual scimitars with scimitar dance and a higher Dex to really bring home the auto-damage or focus a bit more on crits with your magic items.Twin Strike (+19) for 2d10+18+2d8 when both hit (38 average vs. your guy's 40.5). On top of that:Double the crit rate, and those crits are pretty nasty.Less prone to overkill a target.Better chance of getting the quarry damage.Automatically deal 4 damage to an adjacent enemy at the end of his turn.Remember, your guy passed up his paragon path to pick up that at-will. A lot of the time that's a bad move, but barbarian makes it work. All in all if it's overpowered it's balanced by paragon multiclassing being underpowered, and neither are extreme enough to be game breakers.====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&DI Character Builder ======Tawar, level 13Half-Orc, Ranger, StormwardenBuild: Two-Blade RangerFighting Style: Two-Blade Fighting StyleFINAL ABILITY SCORESStr 23, Con 11, Dex 19, Int 11, Wis 12, Cha 9.STARTING ABILITY SCORESStr 18, Con 10, Dex 14, Int 10, Wis 11, Cha 8.AC: 27 Fort: 26 Reflex: 25 Will: 20HP: 93 Surges: 6 Surge Value: 23TRAINED SKILLSDungeoneering +12, Nature +12, Athletics +16, Perception +12, Acrobatics +14UNTRAINED SKILLSArcana +6, Bluff +5, Diplomacy +5, Endurance +7, Heal +7, History +6, Insight +7, Intimidate +7, Religion +6, Stealth +9, Streetwise +5, Thievery +9FEATSLevel 1: Weapon Proficiency (Bastard sword)Level 2: Weapon Focus (Heavy Blade)Level 4: Agile HunterLevel 6: Lethal HunterLevel 8: Two-Weapon FightingLevel 10: Two-Weapon DefenseLevel 11: Devastating CriticalLevel 12: Heavy Blade OpportunityPOWERSRanger at-will 1: Hit and RunRanger at-will 1: Twin StrikeRanger daily 1: Jaws of the WolfRanger daily 5: Two-Wolf PounceRanger daily 9: Swirling Leaves of SteelRanger encounter 1: Dire Wolverine StrikeRanger encounter 13: Armor Splinter (replaces Dire Wolverine Strike)Ranger encounter 3: Disruptive StrikeRanger encounter 7: Sweeping WhirlwindRanger utility 10: Expeditious StrideRanger utility 2: Yield GroundRanger utility 6: Evade AmbushITEMSAdventurer's Kit, Terror Bastard sword +3, Thundering Bastard sword +3, Sunleaf Hide Armor +3, Amulet of Protection +3, Frost Longbow +2====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&DI Character Builder ======</blockquote>
