[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 3059263, member: 63"] So my poor 5th level swordsage got wasted by a CR 10 sand giant last night, but the party prevailed thanks to camels and magic missile wands. The party leveled. So next week the party will come across a dim, weary Raptoran in the desert of Xen'drik. The game is 28-point buy, with anything from WotC available. I was planning to make a raptoran barbarian going into the stormtalon prestige class (Races of the Wild), with brutal throw (Complete Adventurer) and power throw and reckless rage (Races of Stone). We can take flaws (Unearthed Arcana), so I was thinking: Ycrok Alboba - Raptoran barbarian 5/stormtalon 1 Str 18 Dex 8 Con 16 Int 6 Wis 10 Cha 8 HP 62 AC 9 Flaws - Obvious, Pathetic (-2 Int). Feats - Power Attack, Brutal Throw, Power Throw, Reckless Rage, Flyby Attack Skills - Jump +x, Survival +x (don't recall how many skill points stormtalons get) Weapons - +1 ranseur, eighteen javelins, footbow, five spears Equipment - efficient quiver, a bunch of potions (including things like enlarge person), desert weather gear I don't know exactly how much money 6th level characters get off the top of my head, but I assume it's not enough to buy permanency for enlarge person (2950 gp). I'm working on the theory that my AC will be so low, creatures of appropriate CR will never miss anyway, so why bother with armor? If I could take the feat Reckless Offensive (XPH, I believe), I would. That way, while recklessly raging, charging, and reckless offensive-ing I could get my AC down to 1. Maybe I should go barbarian 4/fighter 1/stormtalon 1. Or to AC -1 if I had enlarge person. Attack bonus +11 (2d4+7), or +14 (2d4+11) while raging, or +12 (4d4+46) while power attacking for full, doing a diving charge, raging, and reckless offensive-ing, since raptorans can do double damage with a diving charge. Any other suggestions? [/QUOTE]
