[QUOTE="Lord Ernie, post: 4960432, member: 58517"] When I read Half-Orc warrior and 'big axe' in one sentence, I can't help but think of a Barbarian (it may be related to the fact that one of the first D&D chars I saw in action, and awesomely so, was a half-orc barbarian). Now, with your stats, you can set up a pretty amazing example. This is a possible level 5 build; note that I kept myself to the item limitations of the DMG for high level chars (like most people in this thread); if you can get a better weapon, Bloodclaw or Reckless would really up your damage. ====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ====== level 5 Half-Orc, Barbarian Feral Might: Thaneborn Triumph FINAL ABILITY SCORES Str 21, Con 14, Dex 16, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 18.
