[QUOTE="Inconsequenti-AL, post: 1744904, member: 6584"] Weapon spec does seem quite fitting! I think bastard sword and buckler gives you the best of both worlds - you only take a -1 to hit using it 2 handed, even if you do lose the shield AC... I also think it looks cool :) Or quickdraw and a shield? From the game I've been playing, there are 2 very good defensive options: First is to ask for an item of blur or displacement. Those miss chances are really useful and work on most creatures... even keep away some of the nastier spells. Better than high AC in many cases. The path I went for is spring attack... there are a lot of creatures you don't want to let get a full round attack on you. Spring in for a single large power attack, then back off a short distance. Very good at keeping things busy, whilst the other party members can nuke 'em. Speed boosts sit nicely with this - IIRC, Travel domain gives you longstrider at 1st level? [/QUOTE]
