[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3912521, member: 13966"] That's not the way to do it.... - Human Bard 2/Marshal 2/Warblade 4: Run basically the same as your idea, but [I]better[/I]. Awesome faceman for the group, high Charisma and Diplomacy, carrying a Wand of Cure Light/Moderate/Serious (whichever he can afford) for whenever he needs to help keep the group in good condition, Master of Tactics or Over the Top minor aura to add his Charisma bonus to everyone's damage with either flanking or charging attacks, any major aura that suits his fancy whether it's offensive or defensive, plus he'll have Tactics of the Wolf or Absolute Steel Stance along with a 1st-level stance of his choice, along with Douse the Flames, Steel Wind, Iron Heart Surge, White Raven Tactics, and Lion's Roar. His saves will be pretty good, his hit points will be decent or good, he'll have a +6/+1 Base Attack Bonus, he can start out with Point Blank Shot + Precise Shot + Rapid Shot + Song of the White Raven. - Dwarf Crusader 1/Dragon Shaman 7: As per your idea, but again, [I]better[/I]. Though not by much. Martial Spirit or Iron Guard's Glare for a stance, Crusader's Strike + Stone Bones + Vanguard Strike + Charging Minotaur + Douse the Flames. Still a +6/+1 Base Attack Bonus. Better survivability. - Human Wilder 8 or Wilder 7/Thrallherd 1 (getting a 7th-level thrall would be handy): Has a +6/+1 BAB (or +5 if going Thrallherd), 4th-level powers (3rd if going Thrallherd), and the ability to Wild Surge for +3 manifester levels, a nice boost to the potency of his powers. If going Thrallherd, he can get the Diplomacy ranks cross-class and can take Inquisitor as one of his 1st-level feats and Expanded Knowledge (Mindlink) as his 3rd-level feat. As a pure Wilder, though, he can allocate all four of his feats toward Psionic Endowment, Greater Psionic Endowment, Psionic Meditation, and Expanded Knowledge (Empathic Transfer). Either way, he can support the other two characters in melee combat once in a while, or at the very least be a secondary archer (they can spare 2 feats for PBS and Rapid Shot if needed). He can take Psionic Shot and Psionic Meditation if not going Thrallherd. Empathic Transfer + Body Adjustment (+ Body Purification later on) will allow the Wilder to serve as a healer in emergencies. He might want to pick up Quicken Power instead of one of his other feats, though, for Quickened Empathic Transfer accompanied by Body Adjustment in the same round. And he could even take Expanded Knowledge (Astral Construct) if he wanted to. [/QUOTE]
