Stats using the elite array, and no magic items added yet. I ended up leaving out Iron Heart Surge because of being a warforged, but it would be an obvious pick otherwise for Survival Guy.Also, you can reallocate essentia each round, so you could have 3 in great raptor mask outside of combat (and have +8 to Spot all the time), and then shift it into speed and AC bonuses once combat starts instead.NG male personality warforged crusader 6//totemist 6Medium construct (living construct)Init +1; Senses Listen -1, Spot +1Languages Common————————————————————————————————————————AC 27, touch 11, flat-footed 26    (+1 Dex, +4 natural armor +8 armor, +4 tower shield)hp 51 (6 HD); can't be healed by conjuration (healing) spells; steely resolve 10; DR 2/adamantineImmune poison, sleep effects, paralysis, disease, nausea, fatigue, exhaustion, effects that cause the sickened condition, energy drain, sneak attacks, critical hitsFort +8, Ref +6, Will +4; evasion, indomitable soul, totem's protection, zealous surgeWeakness vulnerability to rusting grasp (2d6 damage)————————————————————————————————————————Speed 30 ft.Melee longsword +8 (1d8+2) orMelee slam +8 (1d4+2)Space 5 ft.; Reach 5 ft.Base Atk +6; Grp +8Atk Options furious counterstrike, smite 1/day (+0 attack, +6 damage)Special Actions wild empathy +6 (+2 magical beasts)Maneuvers Known (IL 6th):    1st—charging minotaur (your bull rush charge also does 2d6+2 damage if successful), crusader's strike (on successful attack, heal you or an ally within 10 feet 1d6+5), leading the attack (on successful attack, your allies get +4 to attack your target until your next turn), stone bones (on successful attack, you have DR 5/adamantine until your next turn), vanguard strike (on successful attack, your allies get +4 to attack your target until your next turn)    2nd—foehammer (one attack ignores DR and does +2d6 damage), mountain hammer (one attack ignores DR and hardness and does +2d6 damage)Stances Known (IL 6th):    1st—bolstering voice (all allies within 60 feet who can hear you get +2 morale on Will, or +4 vs fear), martial spirit (each successful melee attack you make heals you or an ally within 30 feet 2 damage)Soulmelds Shaped (ML 6th; essentia capacity 2; 4 essentia):    Feet—worg pelt [2 ess] (+2 +2/essentia Hide and Move silently; +5 +5/essentia speed)    Totem (ML 7th; essentia capacity 3)—great raptor mask [0 ess] (evasion; +2 +2/essentia competence on Spot)    Unbound—blink shirt [0 ess] (pseudo-dimension door at will, range 10 ft + 10 ft/essentia), wormtail belt [2 ess] (+2 +1/essential natural armor enhancement)————————————————————————————————————————Abilities Str 14, Dex 13, Con 17, Int 8, Wis 8, Cha 10Feats Adamantine Body, Improved Fortification, Stone PowerSkills Whatever, but Listen and Spot are the most important.————————————————————————————————————————Furious Counterstrike (Ex) Get a bonus to attack and damage based on your steely resolve poolIndomitable Soul (Ex) +Cha to Will savesSteely Resolve (Ex) Delay up to 10 damage you take until the end of your next turnTotem's Protection (Ex) +4 on saves against the supernatural abilities of magical beasts.Zealous Surge (Ex) 1/day, you can reroll a save</blockquote>
