[QUOTE="vhailor, post: 4483250, member: 77206"] [CODE]Human Tactical Warlord Level 1 STR 18 +4 Max HP 25 Healing Surges 8 CON 13 +1 Bloodied 12 Value 7 DEX 11 +0 AC 18 INT 16 +3 FORT 16 WIS 8 -1 REF 16 CHA 10 +0 WILL 12 Equipment: Longsword, Hide, Heavy Shield Feats: Shield Proficiency (Heavy), Tactical Assault At-Will ------------------ Commander's Strike Wolf Pact Tactics Viper's Strike (which will sacrifice in case I choose to multiclass) Encounter ---------------------------- 1 Warlord's Favor Daily --------------------------------------------- 1 Lead the Attack Utility (Take at 2 level) -------------------------------------------- 1 Knights Move[/CODE] Questions: 1.What do you suggest: STR 18 + INT 16 OR STR 16 + INT 18? If I go for INT=18, an alternative is Eladrin: STR 16 +CON 11 +DEX 15 +INT 18 +WIS 10 +CHA 8 With Hide Armor + Heavy Shield I'd have AC 19, FORT 14, REF 16, WILL 12 In this built I'd go for:Heavy Shield Proficiency, Eladrin Soldier, Heavy Blade Opportunity, Heavy Blade Mastery What I like about this built is that low STR isn't really that important since one at-will causes an ally to attack, and Wolf Pact Tactics give you the beefit before you roll(You could flank the enemy). After seeing it writen I guess I'll with the Eladrin. 2.I still don't know if I should go for Heavy Blade Opportunity and/or Shield Specialization, which would require to start with at least 13 DEX. I'd be forced to start with DEX 13 + INT 15, and spend an extra +1 to DEX, given to 4th or 8th level. 3.About the feats, I was thinking to start with: Shield Proficiency (Heavy), Action Surge (to increase the chanses that a daily or encounter will hit), Tactical Assault, Weapon Proficiency: bastard sword OR Weapon Proficiency: Spiked Chain(if I choose to take heavy armor and drop the Shield), Toughness. Should I start with 14 CON, so I can choose Armor Specialization(Hide)? 4.Can someone add the +2 given from a race, to an attribute with value 8, or do I have to raise it first to 10? 5.I'm thinking that, until I raise Intelligence to 18 (at 8 level), I could go for chainmail (it gives the same AC as hide + INT), taking Dwarven Armor. When I change to Hide I'd go for Elven Battle Armor. I would appreciate any comment or suggestion about the build or the questions above. [/QUOTE]
