[QUOTE="Allistar1801, post: 7639433, member: 6977279"] So this isn't really meant to be for optimization or anything, just a fun little character build for an up and coming character of mine and I'm curious as to how people will critique it. I've already talked to the DM about how I want to RP the character and have a story arc in mind, so the character will have at least something going for him no matter if this plan goes face down.
