[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 5510718, member: 29746"] I have to agree with pawsplay, if you're going to go with just one good save, Will makes more sense because a Commander is (as a basic fictional role) a person who uses his brain to win battles, by getting subordinates to use their abilities most effectively towards some overarching goal that the individuals themselves can't necessarily see. But honestly, given that Paladin and Ranger are both full BAB, and also get (admittedly minor) spellcasting to boot, I don't see a problem with giving the Commander good Fort and Will. Sure, the basic Fighter doesn't get good Will, but the basic Fighter can use armor and weapons better than the same-level Commander can in his wildest dreams. Since this is my first time chiming in on this thread, I'll mention that I, too, really like the class concept and execution so far. I have to say that the idea of making a Death Knight or Cleric Lich, who has Commander levels and the Commander of the Dead feat, gives me shivers of evil delight! :] [/QUOTE]
