[QUOTE="Drammor, post: 5448050, member: 95071"] I've slowly been building a ridiculous ~3.75 dwarf by the request of my DM. I would like some help with building him, and he is supposed to be optimized as much as possible with a 75-pt stat buy. I'm allowed to use any source that I can both find and provide to the DM, so even Dragon magazine counts as long as I can snag a copy of the mag for proofing. The campaign's a little weird, set partway into 3.5 and partway into Pathfinder. The DM is using Pathfinder's rules for skills, and we can also use any other relevant PF material for building the character. Hereto unnamed, he's a fully-optioned gestalt build: Fighter 7//Rogue (martial variant)4/PsyWar 2/? 1. He has the mineral warrior template, and the campaign limit is 8 levels, so I've filled that quota. Any suggestions for that other level? His other current relevant things look like this: str 14, dex 13, con 24, int 10, wis 13, cha 3. Feats: Born Under the Half Moon, Toughness, Greater Resiliency, Power Attack, Improved Sunder, Deadly Concussion, Martial Study (Shield Block), Martial Stance (Martial Spirit), Heavy Armor Optimization, Combat Focus, Deflective Armor, Combat Stability, Focused Shield and... I haven't bought his 6th level feat, yet. He's using Poor Reflexes and Shaky as Flaws to help pay for all those feats. I put most of his skill points into appraise, linguistics, perform (percussion), autohypnosis, craft (armorsmithing) and craft (weaponsmithing). I still have 5 points left to spend. For his gear so far, I've bought Boots of the Unending Journey, Blueshine Dwarvencraft Mechanus Gear Armor +1, a restful armor augment crystal, Dwarvencraft Darkwood Tower Shield w\ Wand Chamber, and a shield augment crystal of bent sight. If I did my math right (which I doubt), he's got a 32 AC, 15 w\o armor, 32 ff and 24 touch. And uhm, yeah... that's about it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
