[QUOTE="A2Z, post: 2081556, member: 244"] So, I finally got the Black Company Campaign Setting. I haven't gotten very far in to it yet but one thing that caught my eye were the new ranger combat style. For those not familiar with it, in addition to Archery and Two-Weapon Fighting they've added Two-Handed, Mounted and Light. I may be missing one I don't have the book with me. Anyway, I thought it was a great idea but we need more. What about straight sword and shield fighters? Or even others. There's more possibilities out there. So, mainly I'm trying to work out a new combat style for my current ranger who wants to use a sword and shield. I'm having a bit if trouble coming up with working combanations though. Here's a few of my ideas. Defensive Style 1 Combat Expertise [PHB] Improved Combat Expertise [Complete Warrior] ?? (ideas?) Defensive Style 2 Dodge [PHB] Improved Dodge [Black Company] (+2 against 1 opp. or +1 against 2) Greater Dodge [Black Company] (+2 against 2 opp. or +1 against all) Shield Style Improved Shield Bash [PHB] Shield Charge [Complete Warrior] Shield Slam [Complete Warrior] Charge Style Fast Movement (+10 Movement) Fleet of Foot [Complete Warrior] (Make one turn while charging) Greater Charge (make a full attack after charge when opponent flat footed or denied dex bonus) There's also the standard dodge/mobility/spring attack and power attack/cleave/great cleave but I'm kind of looking for something new. Anyway, some of them may be weaker than the standards while some may be too powerfull. I'd like to know what others think and what ideas the rest of you can come up with. [/QUOTE]
