You guys gave great advice and have really encouraged me to press on with this character. I got a lot of ideas too and, from your comments, can see I made a grave error in overlooking Weapon Focus, so I will be taking that. I'll also look at other 3.5 books for any other help I can get for my BAB.As a note, I did roll my stats. I was lucky enough not to roll anything lower than a 10, but I also didn't get anything higher than a 15.Now, onto the replies! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />What weapons are 2d4 for small creatures? I like the sound of that, although the 1d10 of a greatsword is very tempting, especially for the damage bonus for two-handed weapons. Also, I had tried Power Attack on two occasions and am uncertain whether to keep it at this point.I really appreciate that IronWolf!That was my first idea when I decided to go with Brew Potion. Unfortunately, I've read that, officially, True Strike can't be made into a potion! Plus, the spell only lasts for one attack. :\None of the other players have Spirited Charge, they are just playing as though they do have it. Thus, it's pointless for me to take the feat :\Wait, I can charge to the side of an enemy? I always thought with a charge you had to run straight into them! Now I guess I understand the purpose of ride-by-attack, lol. Also, I'm liking how that damage and BAB is calculating out. Thanks for the tips Dilvias!Good points. I'll drop Brew Potion till I can cast spells and ask about Extra Smite.Your post reminded me of a trait (we get the choice of two) that will help my BAB. Thanks! ;pWhile Dazzling Display and Shatter Defenses sound like great options,  they don't suit my character, who would more appropriately have negative points in Intimidate, haha. Thanks for the suggestion, though!Also, I'll ask about getting a bonus for picking up Spirited Charge, though I agree with you that it is rather annoying when people make up their own rules.Excuse me for asking but how does a shield bonus vary from an AC bonus? Is it that, when caught flat-footed, I would lose the AC bonus but not the shield bonus?I have already invested in Craft (Alchemy) and am going to see if I can replace Brew Potion with Craft, since the skill, at this point, doesn't seem like it is going to help much.Once more, thanks a bunch for your guys' suggestions! I'm going to do a bit more research and post my findings / changes!</blockquote>
