[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 4208054, member: 6562"] Clownish outbursts, English gentleman, and archery. Let's see... [b]Human[/b] Str > Cha > Con > Dex > Int > Wis Bard 6 / Barbarian 1 (skill ranks go into Intimidate and Ride at this level) Feats: Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, Song of the Heart (Eberron), Haunting Melody (Eberron) Tactics: run around at 40 ft. movement rate singing Inspire Courage, shoot things with Rapid Shot, and if there's an opponent you can't run away from, Rage and kill it with your greatsword. The hard decision is Bard first or Barbarian first. Bard gives +8 skill points and a better skill list; Barbarian gives +6 HP. Good spells are: 0 - Summon Instrument, Mage Hand, Prestidigitation, Read Magic, Detect Magic, Dancing Lights 1 - Grease, Hideous Laughter, Silent Image, Cure Light Wounds 2 - Suggestion, Mirror Image, Glitterdust These spells mostly target Will, but [i]grease[/i] hits Reflex. Jester-esque spells IMHO are [i]grease[/i], [i]hideous laughter[/i] and [i]suggestion[/i]. I added [i]mirror image[/i] in case you ever want to buff for melee, because sometimes it's just not something you can avoid, and [i]glitterdust[/i] is a fantastic and flexible area de-buff. For more clownishness in your outbursts, consider asking for the [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/classFeatureVariants.htm#rageVariantWhirlingFrenzy] whirling frenzy [/url] variant. It's considered by some to be too strong, so be understanding if your DM say "no", but it does seem in theme for your dude. Cheers, -- N [/QUOTE]
