[QUOTE="ruleslawyer, post: 950626, member: 1757"] What Elder_Basilisk said. :) In addition, there is a point to be made that taking levels of fighter past Ftr10, or even past Ftr4, is completely pointless. If you are a human, dwarf, half-elf, half-orc, or halfling, you're better off ditching fighter, because fighter abilities don't scale with level. (Annoying, but true; feats, the fighter's bread and butter, are BAB- and feat-dependent rather than level-dependent.) Thus, Ftr4/Bbn16 (or Ftr4/Bbn1/PrC10/PrC5) is a great multiclass, and will be even better in 3.5e, when the barbarian gets greater rage and DR sooner. Ftr4/Sor1/other fighter classes is nice for [i]shield[/i], [i]true strike[/i], and [i]expeditious retreat[/i]. Ftr2/Pal1/Templar2/Clr15 is REALLY nice; you get the magical +16 BAB (allowing four iterative attacks), GREAT saves (between the pally's divine grace and cleric's saves), and 8th-level divine spells.
