[QUOTE="ThoughtBubble, post: 978234, member: 9723"] You folks are scary. How do you come up with all this stuff? I don't think I'd be able to keep track of most of it. But, if I pulled half this stuff, my DM would freak, and half the players in the game would start pouting. Nothing worse than pouting team-mates; except, occasionally, live ones. Yeah, we're none too effective (elven monk, human bard, fighter/rouge that hasn't flanked yet, gnomish barbarian, and a druid who is our goodberry dispenser), and being that good would break things. As far as my DM's concerns go, he'd prefer me to stay core though he is willing to look at outside sources. However, each ability is on a case by case basis. He also strongly dissaproves of multiclassing to snag an ability or two, then switching classes. I'm also not too likely to get anything more specific than a +1 or +2 shield with some elemental resisitance. Did I mention that he's wary of me becase I'm willing to work a bit extra to try to gain additional measures of efficency? So, that's looking grim. However, as a DM..... I think a good shield based character could make a neat NPC. Now, how much of this could make into a mounted Blackguard? Or should I just buy the books allready? [/QUOTE]
