[QUOTE="SpiderMonkey, post: 4055833, member: 11385"] Hi, all. I posted this over at WotC's forums, but I thought I'd post here, too. I'm going to play for the first time in a really long time, and I've got a concept nailed down. The DM is having us do a house-ruled point buy system for character creation that's very generous, so the whole "multi-ability syndrome" isn't really an issue. I'm trying to limit myself to the Complete X splatbooks, Unearthed Arcana, and Player's Handbook II. Basically, no setting specific books or template madness. What I've got is a human Barbarian 1/Ranger 1/Fighter 1/Paladin of Freedom (UA variant) 4/Divine Crusader (CD) X of Kord He'll have a strong charisma, so the feats I'm looking at are Divine Might, Extra Smiting, Extra Rage, Leadership, Weapon Focus (to qualify for DC), and Power Attack. I'll probably look at Practiced Spellcaster and/or Spontaneous Healer later on (to get rid of spells in the Strength Domain like "Magic Vestment"). I'm still not sure if I'm going for a level of Ranger for the Track and favored enemy bits, or do two levels of Fighter instead. What do you think? I think I have an empty feat slot or two in there relatively early (before I go for the Pally feats). Suggestions? Some potential problems: LOW Will feat early on; though this should even out when the Divine Grace kicks in, and then become good when the Divine Crusader levels kick in. LOW Reflex save. Whatcha gonna do? Low AC. Somewhat 1-dimensional (i.e. buff, destroy, eat cake, done). Concept-wise, I'm going for the untamed savage becoming civilized and religious. I have thought about simply taking a few levels in Divine Crusader and then taking a + divine caster level prestige class, but I haven't really found any that I particularly like. Basically I'm looking for a brick/meatshield with a little bit of buff casting and social abilities. I really like the notion of going into a rage and then laying some power-attacked smites down. Suggestions? Comments? [/QUOTE]
