[QUOTE="malcolm_n, post: 5211108, member: 63154"] Galen was an interesting build, but a lot of fun. I figure he's the kind of hero that really just wants to do good, even if he's not all that good at it. So, I went with a good hybrid combination, but gave him feats that would suit his character more than said classes. The character is playable, but interesting in his use of his abilities; much like I would imagine Galen to be. An Important Note about this character, I treated his Staff of Resilience as the same item as his spear. Should he be disarmed, he loses the benefit of both. This was the most within-the-rules way I could portray his use of the spear and his borrowed power.[sblock=Galen Bradwarden]====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ====== Galen Bradwarden, level 26 Human, Swordmage|Wizard, Draconic Antithesis, Parable Swordmage Aegis (Hybrid): Aegis of Shielding Background: Missing Master, Occupation - Scholar, Adventurer's Scion, Monster Hunter (+2 to Arcana) FINAL ABILITY SCORES Str 15, Con 23, Dex 15, Int 24, Wis 10, Cha 12.
