[QUOTE="javcs, post: 3025206, member: 43677"] This is essentially supposed to be a meat shield cohort to major opponent enemy spellcasters and archvillians. I picked an ogre because it was a low HD way to get the necessary Strength score and size to get Awesome Blow The value of his gear is somewhat more than the suggested value in the DMG for his RAW CR, but properly played, I think would be a more difficult opponent than the CR would suggest, and I'm assuming that he wouldn't be on his own and would probably be the second-in-command for a major NPC villian. Let me know what you think or any suggestions you might have. Tactics: Generally speaking, he'll melee, but, he hammers opponents who close to melee with him with an Awesome Blow, smacking them straight out, opponents trying to get past him get hit with Hold the Line - from the middle of his space, he can hit anything within 50ft using his +1 keen spiked chain, which would significantly slow down any opponent trying to get past him. Opponents on the edges of his reach, he'll smack upwards with an Awesome Blow to add to the damage. The average DC for the awesome blow is 23 and with a +21 (+17 with Awesome Blow) he's got excellent chances of hitting anyone within his reach with the chain. He's wearing a chain shirt and dastana (dastana is from the Arms and Equipment Guide) to get the most use out of his Dex bonus and get the best Armor bonus to AC possible.
