[QUOTE="Scotley, post: 5720788, member: 11520"] Looking of Besharnn, he's very interesting. I think most folks would max out strength with this build, but you've spread you abilities out a little more and so you've got pretty high AC with the magic medium armor, dodge and a 14 dex. High Hp from Con as well. High damage with the polearm. I guess you are going with the two-handed combat style from APG? Power attack seems like the natural choice with that. Trading +1 to hit for +3 damage is a no brainer. Damn, only third level and already 1d10+6 to damage? x3 on crits! So, you could do in theory 48 points of damage on a crit. I'm gonna have to really scale up the fights in the adventure path. A few mechanical things I noted: You had the +1 breast plate down as 2,500 gp. I'm only getting a cost of 1350 gp. Am I missing something? You have a bonus feat of Endurance coming at third level. As a half-orc you get a +2 to intimidate. You should pick your combat style, first favored enemy and favored terrain. Remember in Pathfinder you get plus three to any class skill you take at least one rank in. You might want to spread your points around just a bit since you really get a nice bump for taking any points at all in class skill. Knowledge nature, geography or dungeoneering would all be +5 for an investment of one rank. You can take various bonuses for taking a level in your favored class, which I presume will be Ranger. Are you taking extra skill rank, hit point or as a Ranger I think you can give you animal companion extra hit points when you get one. [/QUOTE]
