[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 5364532, member: 15538"] AC is not as good as a tricked out cleric, and damage is going to be lower than a power attacking barbarian, but I might play something like this. It's too bad there's not room in the budget for an adamantine weapon, but he can beat a CR 11 stone golem's DR with every single damage roll in melee, so that's probably an ok risk. Basically, a fairly high mobility melee/ranged double threat, who can understudy the rogue with magic item use and perception. Very fun, totally able to go toe to toe with CR-appropriate dragons, and very buffable. Damage output in melee is in the neighborhood of 35 hp/round, compared to about 36-72 for a wizard with Empowered Fireball and let's say 70 or so for a raging barbarian with a two-hander using PA. Human Fighter 12 Str 16 (20), Dex 12 (14), Con 14 (16), Int 14, Wis 9, Cha 10 Initiative +6 AC 22 (+2 Dex +7 armor +2 shield +1 deflection) hit points 106 Fort +14 (+8 +3 Con +3 resistance), Will +8 (+4 -1 Wis +3 resistance +2 misc), Ref +9 (+4 +2 Dex +3 resistance) BAB +12/+7/+2, melee +17, ranged +14, grapple +17 Speed 40 feet Feats: EWP (bastard sword) (B), Iron Will, Blind-Fight, Skill focus (UMD), Magical Affinity, Point Blank Shot, W focus (bastard sword), W Spec (bastard sword), W focus (longbow), W Spec (longbow), Precise Shot, Improved Initiative, Combat Reflexes.
