Also, a natural 1 on a fortitude save is not an  automatic failure.*Snap Kick: Make one additional unarmed strike attack per round; all attacks that round take a -2 penalty.*Stonewarden: A Deepwarden may use his Constitution modifier in place of  his Dexterity if his Constitution is higher. This bonus is lost in all  situations that a Dexterity bonus would be lost under.*Fist of the  Forest AC bonus: While unarmored, you gain a bonus to your Armor Class  equal to your Constitution bonus (if any). See the monk class feature  (PH 40).*Feral Trance: For the duration of the trance, you gain a +4  bonus to Dexterity and a +2 bonus on damage rolls with your unarmed  strikes. You can also make one bite attack per round at your highest  attack bonus whenever you attack as a full-round action.The damage  for this attack is 1d6 + your Str modifier, regardless of your size. A  feral trance lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + your Con  modifier. While in a trance, you cannot perform certain actions, and  afterward you are fatigued. These restrictions are the same as those for  the barbarian's rage class feature (PH 25-26).*Signature Weapon: A Kensai gains the ability to enchant his signature weapon and imbue it with power.*Power  Surge: A Kensai may make a DC 15 concentration check as a move action  in order to gain +8 to Strength for a number of rounds equal to one half  his Kensai level. The DC increases by 5 each time he uses the ability  within a 24 hour period.That's 8 things you'd have to worry about... most of which aren't complicated or hard to learn.As a player... why do you care if the character's mechanics are complicated or not? If I want to create a reasonably powerful character but need several classes to pull off the mechanics, how is that detracting from your enjoyment of the game? If the multiclassing was indicative of an inability to roleplay well, I can see how that would detract from your fun, but then you're jumping to conclusions about my roleplaying ability.For the record, I have played a lower level version of this character in a RHOD game before, and much fun was had by all, including several dedicated roleplayers.He's supposed to be a dwarf who is can shrug off blows and resist spells due to sheer toughness, heal from drinking alcohol, fight like James Kirk, and wield his beard as a weapon.</blockquote>
