[QUOTE="BiggusGeekus, post: 2984023, member: 1014"] This guy does not want to play a servant of Ilmater. He wants to play a a chain fighter. He's not going to change his mind. So you're going to have to decide how you feel about that. But make no mistake this dude has made his decision. It may not be a [i]concious[/i] one, but he's made it nonetheless. Suggestions: - Don't let him be a size Large. Nix the Jotunbrud feat. Give him a +1 CON in exchange and call it a special feat because he's dedicated to Ilmater or whatever. - Make the offer of having him give up light armor in exchange for the Dodge feat. House rule that Dodge gives a blanket +1 AC to all opponents. This is a serious offer, he doesn't have to take it. But it plays more into Ilmater if he doesn't have armor. - Have lots of melee encounters for him to use his abilities. It isn't fair if he takes this character and suddenly all opponents attack with ranged weapons or are oozes. He's still going to be a combat monster, that's fine because it's what he very obviously wants to play. But you've taken away a little of the crazy and tied it into the background that you have chosen for your game. That said, there's a lot of ways to beat a spiked chain guy. Just make sure to let him shine during some of the encounters or it won't be any fun for him. [/QUOTE]
