[QUOTE="Majere, post: 1412740, member: 13916"] The problem is you cant have it both ways. If you want a big twohanded weapon and refuse to use wands because they are "girly" well then expect to get the crap beaten out of you, and get as many hp as you can. You have chosen to go for a damage dealing fighter, so expect to get beaten to a pulp repeatedly. If you want a decent ac, then dump the weapon, get a shield, use expertise, fight redefensively and get a wand of spell-buff to boost yourself. And shoot the DM for shafting your player for no apparent reason. And there is nothing girly about using wands ! Or about fighintg defensively, last session our fighter managed to survied about 12 rounds on 4 hp which surrounded by drow assassins thanks to his "girly buffs" and "wimpy" fighting defensively. Sure he might have been able to drop one if he fought them, but of course the next round he would have been put from 4 to about -20hp and instantly dead. And then we would have been screwed because after that combat we would have had to give up our rescue attempt because we dont have raise dead yet. As the saying goes Discretion is the better part of valour, ... sometimes merely staying alive is makes a telling contribution to your party. Just my 2c Majere [/QUOTE]
