[QUOTE="Krel, post: 3051626, member: 44417"] Thanks for all the responses. Its just that the other people in my group aren't exactly the best at creating characters. It seems that everytime I try to create a good character that takes the most out its abilities, everyone, including my DM, seems to think that I'm too powerful. When I try "powergaming", as some would call it, my DM seems to think that it unbalances the game. Anyway, back to buisness. I have several questions: 1. Would taking the half-dragon template be more advantageous to me than gaining more class levels? 2. What about the Frenzied Berserker prestige class from Complete Warrior? 3. What combination of class levels and LA from other races and templates would be best? I see that there are several possible combinations: 1. Take all class levels. Maybe Frenzied Berserker 10/Barbarian 6. 2. Take one template/LA race and one to three less levels of barbarian. 3. Take multiple templates and a LA race and less class levels. 4. Include a few levels of someting else like Paladin and Ranger. What do you think? Thanks. -Krel P.S. And by the way, about the Charisma, I like playing stupid and uncharismatic barbarians, so I purposely gave myself a low inteligence and charisma. :D [/QUOTE]
