[QUOTE="Forrester, post: 254619, member: 1279"] IMO if you aren't going to use two-weapon fighting, it might be best to take a level of barbarian instead of ranger. Rage is good. A 40' move is even better. Or, if you want to be the ultimate cheese-monster, take a level of ranger, a level of barbarian, and then three levels of fighter. You'll get Weapon Specialization soon enough. Of course, this is the Ultimate Cheese, but I understand that RttToH is quite a combat-happy module, something to make powergamers smile and not feel guilty abou tit. So there you go. (Personally, I'd go with a Meat-Shield cleric if I were you. You have the stats for it. 16 Str and Wis, 14 Dex and Con, 13 Int and Chr. Maybe go Dwarf? Meat-shield clerics are a lot of fun, and very flexible. Screw that standing in the back ready to cast Cure spells stuff -- after you Bull's Strength and Endurance yourself up, you'll be almost as good as a Fighter. Make sure you take the War domain if you can -- if not, Strength is good.) EDIT -- I noticed someone above posted a suggestion to maybe go F2/C3. I think this is, no offense, silly silly silly, especially if you've found a god that gives you Weapon Proficiency: Bastard Sword and Weapon Focus: Bastard sword. Two free feats and three extra hit points are *not* worth losing 3rd level spells. Cleric all the way . . . can you say Persistent Divine Favor? (I don't allow Persistent Power in my campaign, and in general dissuade this kind of powergaming, but hell, if it's being encouraged, knock yourself out!) [/QUOTE]
