[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 6254296, member: 6674868"] It has been my experience that casters make better melee combatants than melee classes do. As Pathfinder goes, I've played a Druid, a Vivisection Alchemist and a Synthesist Summoner. They've all been melee builds. The Druid would Summon Nature's Ally, had a Large Tiger and could Wildshape, making a Melee trio. The Alchemist could Bite/Claw/Claw using Feral Mutagen with Sneak Attack on each attack and was out damaging the Orc Fighter who had Power Attack by the time they were both level 5. The Synthesist Summoner could Pounce and Bite/Claw/Claw with Power Attack by level 2. All of these characters have been able to Melee like a boss.... and use spells, and have class abilities to supplement everything else. My general opinion (leaving room for exceptions) is nearly any class can be designed to be good at melee combat. The pure melee classes simply cannot do anything else. [/QUOTE]
