[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 3451453, member: 9026"] Not true. In case you haven't noticed, I can't find traps, I'm not immune to spells, have no ranged attacks to speak of, and have poor offensive capabilities. I did this mainly as a "Can't touch this" concept. *parry parry parry trip smack fast heal parry parry parry* And, to Shayuri - A Feral Saint isn't by nature contradictory. The Feral description states that they do sometimes wander into civilization, and some 'adapt', though [i]most[/i] find it too confining. The saint part is what happens when a previously barbaric fighter becomes civilized and becomes a very good person, all the time fighting against the animal urges within (As does everyone). *Somewhat like Rev Bem from Andromeda, though he has accepted the fact that he has gifts and talents which he can use to save others, instead of rejecting violence completely.* **SPECIAL NOTE ** I just did the math, and If I dropped the Feral Template, I'd replace it with the 10th level of Duelist, and in the end, I'd loose 4 AC, -1 will, -1 fort, +1 reflex, my attack and init would go up by 1, my damage would stay the same, and my speed would go down 10'. I'd loose pounce, improved grab, rake, rend, and claws (None of which I really planned on using anyways). I'd loose 15 hp from con but gain 1d10+4 hp from level, and I'd gain a feat and several skill points.
