[QUOTE="tuxgeo, post: 6255176, member: 61026"] The Seeker/Warden hybrid only gives part of the Seeker's Bond; to get the rest of it, a dwarf would have to spend its sole 1st-level feat to take "Hybrid Talent: True Seeker's Bond." However, since the "Hybrid Talent" feat does not say you can take it more than once, this means the dwarf does not [I]also[/I] get to take "Hybrid Talent: Font of Life" to get a saving throw at the start of each turn. Sample character -- "Reefy" the Dwarf, Hybrid Spiritbond Seeker/Warden, with the "Hybrid Talent: True Seeker's Bond" feat at level 1, for the boomeranging thrown weapons (never run out of ammo) and for the use of STR in calculating AC. Basic ability scores: 16-16-12-10-10-10 gives: -Male Dwarf Seeker/Warden: WIS 16, STR 16, CON 12, INT 10, DEX 10, CHA 10 -- with Dwarf RACIAL BONUSES: WIS 18, STR 16, CON 14, INT 10, DEX 10, CHA 10 -- (with +2 to each of CON and WIS) Hit Points at 1st level: CON score + 6 (Seeker) + 8.5 (Warden) = 28, for a Surge value of 7; Hit Points gained per level: 2.5 (Seeker) + 3.5 (Warden) = 6; Surges per Day: 3.5 (Seeker) + 4.5 (Warden) = 8. AC 15 -- with Leather armor: 10 + 2 (Leather) + 3 (STR modifier) The Seeker has limited armor. For better defense at the expense of offense, put the +2 racial ability bonus in STR instead of WIS. Also, Seeker powers attack with WIS, but Warden powers attack with STR. You might want to choose one of those to emphasize. . . . "Tidal Spirit Shot" would be the iconic Seeker At-Will attack power because of the nautical/marine theme, and because it is multi-target. However, each of "Biting Swarm," "Grappling Spirits," and "Guardian Harrier" can be used as a ranged basic attack, so any of those might also serve well. Of the Warden At-Will attacks, only "Warden's Lunge" can be used as a melee basic attack, and then only when charging. . . . and I think that's enough of a skeleton suggestion there. [/QUOTE]
