[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 6287816, member: 36150"] First off, via TVTropes.org: (Fair warning: click any of the links below at your own peril - you can lose a third of your day in TV Tropes and not even notice until it's far, far too late.) I made a Half-Orc named Scrag. He's kind of a big deal, or at least, he likes to think he is. He is (presently) a Tempest Fighter with Spiked Chain and he sports a black Guile-esque brush cut that he lavishly maintains. He believes that 'no job is too small' - he does every odd job he can get his beefy paws on to make some scratch. His current 'permanent' gig is as an Arena Fighter (why didn't I just take Arena Fighter? He's not a Brute, per se) but he also has Surgeon as a background. He tends to the wounded as... well... as no one else really cares about the wounded in the Pits. He eats whatever he can grab, loves whatever he can grab (take that as dark as you like - that's the idea) and, while polite, generally acts like a Big Man About Town even if it's largely undeserved. Now, what I'd like to do: I'd like to see what kind of character he might evolve into come Paragon (level 11). I'd like for him to actually _earn_ the right to be Big Man About Town by having access to information and abilities that are largely outside a vanilla Fighter's usual realm. I'd like to avoid making a Hybrid (seems to cheapen the challenge to me; Assassin or Bard immediately cures the Skill issue, fr'ex) but I'm not against using a multi-class feat. Ultimately, I picture him as having 'street cred' as well as being a champion of the common people, being their sage and go-to guy for whatever. Am I overthinking this? How might you proceed?
