[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 4911063, member: 82106"] Go with whatever class has the mechanics you want, fluff is whatever you make it. He could be any of a whole number of classes in theory. I could see a character like that as a bard, a druid, a shaman, invoker, sorcerer, warden, cleric, warlock, or a wizard. Warlord certainly isn't out of the question either. I think the main question would be what sort of role is character playing in the party? Presumably as a leader you'd want probably bard, shaman, cleric, or warlord. Really some type of cleric with maybe a bit of keyword swapping so maybe instead of turning undead he can blast divine immortals or whatever. That would be the simplest. He can be a big bad arsed STR cleric. Throw in a fun DC feat for Gruumsh worship and it seems pretty good. The shaman is great, IF you want to utilize the SC mechanics as part of his character. Otherwise there's no reason to bother with it. An orcish bard skinned as a "battle chanter" would probably be cool. Warlord could definitely give you a sort of "Battle Adept of Gruumsh" with his powers flavored as divine gifts of inspiration from the god. [/QUOTE]
