[QUOTE="chorolus, post: 5161181, member: 89552"] I've thought of using a spiked chain as well...and the related feats are quite nice looking. Another idea for the 'minion-master' build: he could take the feat to gain a familiar as well and would then have 3 'pets' helping him to block/corner foes. Now, if only the Beast Protector worked for the spirit/familiar as well... --- I also had another interesting idea today for a (somewhat) ranged crit-focused Ranger/Rogue combo...might not exactly be the most optimal build, but could be quite fun to experiment with. I'm not 100% sure if the concept would completely work within DnD's game mechanics though... He would start as a Ranger/Rogue Hybrid and MC to Swordmage for the Improved Swordbond feat, and focus on using Twin Strike with throwing daggers. After each Twin Strike, Improved Swordbond could be used to 'boomerang' your weapons back to your hands...seems very Krull-like and reeks of pure awesomeness!! Stat-wise he would focus heavily on Str/Dex, and would definitely take the Daggermaster PP. The best Hybrid Talent to take would probably be Rogue -> Brutal Scoundrel to add Str to sneak attacks. Could also wield Wraithblade daggers and watch the Sneak Attacks fly, literally :D What do you guys think? I'm not too sure about the Powers/feats I chose, I only gave them a brief look-through for now.
