[QUOTE="Divide, post: 5223041, member: 91745"] Howdy, I've been lurking the boards but I hadn't been compelled to register until today, where I've been stuck in a slight logic loop here: The group I play 3.5 with is going to be having a one off in a few weeks. Our DM has given us a few set parameters and info concerning the game: 30 point buy system 340k gold to start Level 17 characters shapechange is disallowed The setting will be undead heavy. The DM has allowed (which seems like common sense) using the swashbucklers dodge to count towards the feat requirements for mobility and spring attack. These things in mind, I'm rolling a straight swashbuckler. I'm going dex, con, and int heavy (focussing less on Cha due to the nature of the game). Obviously, a swashbuckler is a bad choice in an undead campaign w/o truedeath crystals, so they will be on her weapons or within close reach. I was thinking of the following 7 feats: Weapon focus (rapier) Two weapon Fighting Improved critical Mobility Spring attack Bounding Assault Combat Acrobat. I was going to invest in some skill tricks (Changing direction in a charge and a few others that I haven't gotten to really read through yet) The idea of this character is to be able to maximize on the swashbucklers ability to get around dangerous areas and still attack. If I'm "safe" in an attack area, I'll unleash a full attack. So first of two questions: Are there any horrible gaps in my logic here? second: overcoming dr without spending every bit of 360k on weapons. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
