And he'll probably get the Soak even higher with Constitution enhancing items, natural armor bonuses, and maybe an item that increases size.Imagine: 20th level fighter*Base Constitution: 20 (+5 Soak)*Amulet of Health +6 and Natural Armor +5 (+8 Soak)*Full Plate Mail +5 (+13 Soak)*Toughness x3 (+3 Soak)Total Soak: 29Then, once a character gets into epic levels, he can take the Damage Reduction feat for +3 soak a shot.Yep. Makes a significant difference as levels increase.I never thought of that one. Very good suggestion for the medieval crowd. The Mexican Army, during the days of the Texas Revolution and USA's War with Mexico, was a terror. They were the only army in the theater that had mounted calvary. (The US had dragoons. They'd ride up and dismount to fight.) The Mexicans would charge in and lance the lot of their enemies. Devastating.I like how the revised GnG rules make that work. I don't think I'd double the damage from the attack roll, just the dice and bonuses.Yes. Their sneak attack helps level the field, but there are easy ways to overcome that special ability (such as Uncanny Dodge).I'd hate to be a Rogue fighting a Barbarian.</blockquote>
