Well I should hit with that leading the attack, so Kirrg(not that he needs it) and Durion get a +4 on all attacks. Next round I'll get crusader's strike, I'll use it on myself so if I hit I get back 8-13 hp. Hopefully we we fight that bugbear his is alone this time. I have a feeling he won't wait long enough for more than a few rounds though. Hopefully he is alone though. I also think he might be a cleric. If my chronocharm doesn't get used on the manticore, I'll have it in reserve for any rays the cleric might be shooting.
H4H, Assuming I was going to make it to level 8, I planned on putting my ability point to Wis, that would give me 1st level spells. I thought the bonuses I'd get from the free feats would be more beneficial than 1 level of crusader. But if you rule that I can only take the feats in slots, then I'll probably keep going crusader. I've already kind of know what feats I want anyway.
