Looking at the black bear in the MM 3d8+6 HP, stats of 19/13/15/2/12/6...with awaken, you get 3d6 intel, 2HD and 1d3 charisma. It's almost as if awakening is a hindrance.Being 3HD and having +2 BAB, it looks like it is using the rogue/monk/ect table. So, going up to 5 HD, I'd have it gain +1 BAB. I'd also count the bears HD as levels (I've been working up giants recently), so, he would have the feats of a 5th level character.Something like-Racial Hit Dice: An awakened black bear begins with 5 levels of bear, which provide 5d8 hit dice, base attack bonus of +3, and base saving throws of Fort +4, Ref +4, Will +2. Racial Skills: A black bear’s bear levels give it skill points equal to 9 × (2 + Int modifier). Its class skills are climb, hide, spot, listen and swim. Racial Feats: A black bear's bear levels give it 2 featsRacial Bonus: +4 to swim checksIf you wanted to roll it's stats, I'd use: +8 Str, +2 Dex, +4 Con, +2 Wis, -4 Cha.So, to make him 14th level, add 9 levels of fighter:9 level of Fighter:9d10 HDBAB +9/+4Saves 6/3/3Feats 5 bonus feats So total:HD 9d10 + 5d8 + con (roughly 42 to 158)BAB +12/+7/+2Melee +18/+13/+8 (assuming +1 str at 4, 8, 12)Saves: fort +12 reflex +9 will +6Feats 9 (5 fighter + 4 level)Plus can take TWF... feats could really add up... plus the druid spells.... could make him a very effective tank. You could also go monk (not sure it would make sense in your campaign).</blockquote>
