Q1. I’m looking to put together a build that gets Acrobatic Charge at the earliest level.
DM restrictions:
a) All 3.5 books except: Tome of Battle and anything Psionic or Planar.
b) Race must Players Handbook (1 or 2), or variant thereof e.g. Grey Elf
c) Templates OK so long as humanoid
d) Alignment: no CE or LG
e) Up to LA +2 buyoff
The only way that I’ve found so far to get Acrobatic Charge is:
a) Class: Swashbuckler (level 7) (Complete Warrior)
b) PrC: Thief-Acrobat (level 3) (Complete Adventurer)
Raw ability scores: 18, 15, 15, 12, 12, 12
Template: Half-Vampire for Str & Dex +2 bonuses (LA +2) {this is my choice - open to other ideas}
Weapon: Greatsword, Armor: Light
Swashbuckler build (outline)
Abilities: Str 18+2, Dex 15+2, Con 15, Int 12, Wis 12, Cha 12+2 ( lvl 4 Dex +1, lvl 8 Con +1)
Brb 1: (Lion Totem) for Pounce
Swb 7: for Acrobatic Charge – also PA and Leap Attack
Ftr 1: for Shock Trooper
Thief-Acrobat build (outline)
Abilities: Str 18+2, Dex 12+2, Con 15, Int 15, Wis 12, Cha 12+2 (lvl 4 Int +1, lvl 8 Con +1)
Brb 1: (Lion Totem) for Pounce
Rouge 1, 2: (Martial Training) for skill pts and Evasion feat
Fighter 1, 2: for feats, lvl 4 Int +1 just gives enough cc skill points to qualify for Thief-Acrobat (T-A)
T-A 1: Leap Attack
T-A 2, 3: for Acrobatic Charge
Ftr 3: for Shock Trooper
I’ve tried to include most of the “version”, “DM restriction” information I’ve seen asked for in other posts.
Thanks for any constructive responses.
