data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Anyway, Kai Sarutobi, here's a slightly revised version of my Dragoon.  I'm still considering a few different ideas on his background and name, so haven't added them yet.I shifted a point from Wisdom to Dexterity, and moved some skill points around to make him a better "Face" for the party if needed.  I did worry before that he might be a bit too weak on offense, so I acquiesced on Power Attack and threw in one copy of Melee Weapon Mastery (a feat from PHB 2, requires Weapon Specialization, +8 BAB, and stuff, for +2 to attack and damage with piercing melee weapons in this character's case).I dropped Improved Critical, Sudden Recovery, Improved Initiative, and Martial Stance.  Made Leaping Dragon Stance his third normal Warblade stance instead of Dancing Blade Form.  Took Endurance in place of Improved Initiative, as a prerequisite for Steadfast Determination at 12th-level (a feat from PHB 2 that changes his Will save modifier to Constitution instead of Wisdom, and allows natural 1 rolls on Fortitude to have a chance at success instead of auto-failure).Swapped out his last level of Warblade for one level of Fighter, taking Armor Specialization (full plate) as the bonus feat (from PHB 2, required armor proficiency and +12 BAB, gives him DR 2/- in the chosen type of masterwork or magical armor as long as he retains his Dexterity bonus to AC).  With that level change, I had to reverse the 12th-level maneuver swap of Mountain Hammer for Iron Bones, so he now has Mountain Hammer as a maneuver instead.  The level change also reduced his saves a bit, except Fortitude, but the feat changes and a Cloak of Resistance +2 helped fix that.  HP and skills were also adjusted a bit with the Fighter level.Added items, mostly some stat/AC-boosters, a few potions, and a Stone Salve (in case anyone gets petrified; I had 4k gp left, so...).  All from the DMG/SRD.  Left the +4 longspear and +4 mithral full plate in for now as temporary placeholders, but didn't spend any of his starting gold on them.Melee Weapon Mastery is on page 81 of the Player's Handbook II, Steadfast Determination is on page 83 of it, and Armor Specialization is on page 75 of it.  If you don't approve these feats, I'll just swap them back out for something else in the core rules or Tome of Battle.[sblock=Dragoon 2.0]DragoonHuman, Male,
