[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 5229884, member: 50895"] Sylrae, OK, let me give this a shot... an alternate fighter build (I'm doing this on the spot), I am replacing half the bonus feats with Clan feats, but I am also replacing some of the other half into Extraordinary Abilities - I don't know if that is too weak or too powerful or not (borrowing from Duelist features)... [B]Clan Warrior[/B] (Fighter variant) Full BAB, Fighter HD, Saves, Skills modifier, and Barbarian Skill List. 1st Shield Defense (Ex) add Intelligence bonus, if any, to Dexterity AC adjustment when wielding a shield. 2nd Clan Feat, Bravery 1 3rd Shield Training 1 4th Shield Parry (Ex) as per Duelist Parry, but using a shield instead. 5th Favored Enemy (must a single Celtic Clan) 6th Clan feat, Bravery 2 7th Shield Training 2 8th Bonus Feat (any non clan feat, including fighter feat list) 9th Weapon Training 1 (limited to Celtic Weapons list) 10th Reposte (as per Duelist ability), Bravery +3 11th Shield Training 3 12th Bonus Feat (any non clan...) 13th Favored Enemy 2 14th Clan feat, Bravery +4 15th Shield Training 4 16th Elaborate Defense (as per Duelist ability) 17th Weapon Training 2 (limited to Celtic Weaopns list) 18th Clan feat, Bravery +5 19th Armor Mastery (shield) 20th Favored Enemy 3, Weapon Mastery I chose to replace three of the five Weapon Training slots, as I feel Favored Enemy fits the same category as Weapon Training, plus there are less weapons available being limited to the Celtic Weapon List. Club, Shillelagh Club, Burda (stats as mace) War Sling - d6 damage, 19-20 x2. Short bow (not composite, no sheaf arrows) Gladio short sword Gallic long sword Pictish bastard sword (exotic) Falcata great sword (stats as falchion) Gaesume long spear Gaesume light lance (modified spear) Gesios Javelin Pilum Javelin Gae Bolg barbed spear Celtic Armor: leather, studded, bronze scale, ring mail, chain mail shirt; any shield (medium targe round shield, medium Pictish H-shield, Scuta large shield). Most clan warriors only use a shield in combat, armor is reserved for nobles and champions. I would prefer a better name for Reposte, but same mechanics - doesn't sound very clan warrior-ish. Perhaps another for Elaborate Defense, or perhaps remove that ability altogether and replace with a non-clan feat. I'm not sure I'm happy with this way as a variant fighter class, but I'll playtest it even against my original clan warrior to test it out that way, against a fighter... we'll see. No promises, but I'll give it a shot. It might be worth offering both the fighter variant or Clan Warrior class, or perhaps replace the Rage Powers with Duelist abilities as above. More thinking to do... Thoughts? GP [/QUOTE]
