[QUOTE="green slime, post: 3302341, member: 1325"] Continuing from earlier reply: The Elven knights I was thinking of were the "Knights of the Hart". From the High Forest. Aim for Champion of Corellon Lorethian PrC (races of the wild). Str 16, Dex 18, Con 13, Int 14, Wis 13, Cha 11 I'm fond of placing Int high in fighters, to get a good number of skills (Tumble, and Balance to 5) but this aids in those quirky Diplomacy and Know (religion) requirements here as well. Requirements are: +7 BAB, Diplomacy 4, Knowledge (religion) 2, All martial weapons & heavy armour, Combat Expertise, Dodge, Mounted Combat, weapon focus Long sword or Exotic weapon Elven thin/courtblade. 2nd level of PrC allows you to add Dex mod to damage, in addition to Str mod. Later you also gain better than normal benefits from your high dex, even when wearing heavy armours. This PrC is really quite good, as you also gain the benefit of Good Will & Fort saves, bonus feats, and full BAB. Possible Feat/Level progression: 1st: ExWpn:courtblade (1d10 18-20/x2) Ftr1: Finesse Ftr2: Power Attack 3rd: Mounted Combat Ftr4: Combat Expertise, +1 Dex 6th: Leadership (mount) Ftr6: Dodge 8th: +1 Dex CoC1: Ride-by-Attack 9th: WF:greatsword (courtblade counts as greatsword), Elegant Strike, (you gain Dex bonus to dam, in addition to Str x1.5)) CoC3: Armour's max Dex bonus increases CoC4: Mobility 12th: WS:greatsword, +1 Dex CoC5: Armour type does not impede movement. So not only does increasing your Dex improve your ability to avoid damage (max Dex bonus from armour increases), it also increases your chances to hit (finesse), and Damage (Elegant Strike). Delay access to the PrC by a level, dump one level fighter, and pick up two of Rogue: Evasion, and sneak attack damage. Mobility is the kind of feat that you barely notice when you gain its benefit, and so gets bad rep. As a DM, it and Spring Attack are highly aggravating. Spring Attack may not be so useful for a Tank, but Mobility helps has its uses. [/QUOTE]
