[QUOTE="Mengu, post: 5006645, member: 65726"] Thinking more about this, I wonder how different roles are going to fair against the soldier. The three I'd be curious to see are: Half-orc Two-weapon Ranger with 18 str/dex and a pair of Bastard Swords (or maybe Waraxes). The 5 THP when bloodied should be interesting since it both makes up for the dwarf's minor action second wind, and the ranger's significantly fewer healing surges. I don't know if this is quite worth the test because the reaping strike greatweapon fighter is also essentially a striker. Goliath Battle Cleric with Str 18, Con 16, Dex 10, Int 8, Wis 14, Cha 13, Goliath Greatweapon Prowess, using Priest's Shield, Healing Strike, Moment of Glory. The three heals per encounter should make a significant difference in early day encounter survival. Moment of Glory should make one fight fairly trivial and reserve healing surges. I expect the cleric would rarely, if ever need second wind.
