[QUOTE="Jackinthegreen, post: 6166672, member: 6678119"] If you're going to go with cleric, don't even think about hopping in to dwarven defender. Actually, don't even think about going DD period. Spellcasting is so much better than DD. That and if you're going to try and tank stuff, you absolutely need to be mobile and benefiting from dwarven defender's abilities means that won't happen. Or you need to be able to draw everything to you and survive it. The DD can do the latter, but not the former since it lacks actual offense to make you a threat. Favored Soul is an odd class to try summoning with, but it can work. If he's lost levels though, you guys need to find ways to bring him back up ASAP because summoning stuff can really be awesome. Does he have any summoning feats perchance? What kinds of things does he typically summon? Honestly, there's little better you can do with your current feat choice than improving your tactics, until you level. You don't seem to have the support needed to make those feats really shine (enlarge person is one of the big ones, pun intended). And you also don't seem to have much support from the DM to let you do a lot since he's screwing you on magic items. You may wish to look up the "Lockdown fighter" build and see how it uses its feats. There's also [url=http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=12015.0]this build[/url] which will give you an idea of the real power possible with D&D. [/QUOTE]
