[QUOTE="The Souljourner, post: 1173465, member: 1622"] Well, let me see... monk for 3 free feats, +3 to all my saves, and adding my wisdom bonus to my AC. Fighter for two free feats, the BAB, and half the requirement for the prestige class. Wizard is pretty self explanatory. I don't intend on penetrating spell resistance on much of anything. That's not the point. Not every caster is a blaster mage, Frank. Self buffs, utility spells, and yes some damage spells against guys without SR. I will be able to cast 8th level spells.... that's almost as good as the 20th level wizard, if you're not trying to penetrate spell resistance. As for my fighting ability, I'll have plenty of defensive spells, and if I want to break out the beatstick, I can cast Tenser's Transformation and be just as good as the fighter. I will have 16(!) feats by 18th level, which is only two fewer than a straight fighter. My BAB will be slightly behind, but it'll be slightly better than a cleric's. I can polymorph (even quicken it if I want) into something bashtastic... plus I will be a hell of a lot less boring than a straight fighter type. I think that's well worth it. But I don't want to be a fightery cleric. That's boring. Been there, done that, want to do something else. I think this is a viable alternative. No I won't have the pure hitting power of the straight fighter or the pure spellcasting power of a straight wizard, but I'll be a good second string at both. It mentions a single melee attack. It doesn't say anything about weapons. Attacking with a reach weapon is a melee attack. Attacking with an unarmed strike is a melee attack. -The Souljourner [/QUOTE]
