[QUOTE="defendi, post: 3762355, member: 53467"] My group is about to start Shadowdale and I need to build a tank/leader character. I was thinking of a crusader, maybe White Raven, likely LG in alignment. I intend to be a strong leader and I'm thinking of working toward prestige classes which build on that (at least dabling in them), but that's only if I have room for the levels while I'm working on crusader-enhancing classes. I haven't decided on race, but was thinking Aasimar for concept reasons . . . I'm not married to that. I'll be starting at ninth level. My begining stats will likely be: 18, 13, 10, 15, 16, 12, to be assigned as I like. I'll probably be the only martial adept. The GM has told me that he's allowing any prestige class that increases divine casting level to advance my stances, maneuvers, etc. if I'm a crusader. Pretty much all the WotC books are fair game, and I can probably talk him into allowing in other classes if they fit. Any advice is welcome, especially in the matter of how my feats and manuevers will interact. ToB is relatively knew to me and I don't have much time to examine it this week before next saturday. Also, feel free to give advice beyond 9th, as we'll likely be playing up to 20th. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
