[QUOTE="Dragonwriter, post: 5472196, member: 54988"] Yeah, higher HD will do that. And my, at best average, luck on HP rolls... Really, your AC should be better. DS gets Medium Armor, Natural Armor boosts, etc. And you went with a higher Dex, while I went with a higher Str and Int. Ah, the joys of Multiple-Ability Dependency. :p But I've also got Combat Expertise, which I can use for a nice little +5 AC. And even taking such a penalty on my attacks, I've got a reasonable to-hit. Anyways, Duskblade is very much an offensive class, while DS is more balanced to defensive. At least, from my perspective... They both have their good points. I'll certainly sing the praises of the Dragon Shaman class any day (though you actually wouldn't want to hear me sing ;)), having played one for a solid 2+ years, from level 1. :) [/QUOTE]
