[QUOTE="Yair, post: 1941288, member: 10913"] I want to design a "tank" to play in my next session, and I would appreciate any advice/suggestions/builds. We use 3.5e rules, in the Ravenloft setting. For those not familiar with 3.5e Ravenloft, the rules are standard 3.5e except there are no Halflings, Paladins, or Monks, summoning and [I]detect evil[/I] like effects don't work, and Will saves are very important. (There are numerous changes, but that's that in a nutshell.) We also allow clerics to spontanously cast domain spells (but not cure spells). The character should be 5th level, but with an eye towards higher levels (we rise about 1 level per two months). To generate ability scores we use 76 points distributed between the abilities (from 3 to 18), except 18 costs 1 point extra. (This is before racial and level modifiers.) The character's role should be that of a tank - abosrbing hits and engaging in melee. We have two level 6 wizards in the party, plus one unknown character (new player) plues occasionally a ranger 5 or multiclassed bard 5. The character should be non-evil. I'm not sure on equipment, but going by DMG standards is probably fine. We have a few weeks of down-time in the campaign every one to two levels. We usually don't have a lot of mometary resources. I'm currently thinking of a dwarven defender build with fgt 4/sor 1 (enlarge person) and a spiked chain, plus the improved trip feat.
