[QUOTE="gfunk, post: 936215, member: 1813"] So we are starting a new campaign and I like the idea of making a big old thug. We use 32 pt buy and Fire Giants have an initial +4 boost to Str. This is what I'm thinking Str 14 --> 18 Dex 12 Con 18 Int 10 Wis 12 Cha 8 HP are max for 1st level = 8+4 = 12 I have 300 gp to burn so I was thinking about breastplate and a greatsword. AC 18 (+5 armor, +1 Dex, +2 natural) Attack +4 (+4 Str) Dmg 2d6 + 6 Feat: Power Attack Saves: Fort +6, Reflex +1, Will +1 So here are my questions, 1) What do you think of my point spread for the 32 point buy? Since Con is very important for a front-liner and since my Str goes up quickly, I choose to make it 18. 2) What feats do you think I should take? At 3rd I wanted to pick up Cleave and after that, I'm not sure. Roll With It? Iron Will? 3) Do you think another monstrous PC is better for a front-line bruiser? If so, suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
