character ideas

[luthais]

Hello playground. Looking for suggestions for a new character to build. Level ten, would prefer a mix of martial and caster, no wizard please, decent saves and full bab. Now here's the part where you should start drooling... ANY class and ANY race, within reqs. Id like to keep either CG or CN. Undead also not really wanted. Other than that, fire up those cheese canons!

As a side note, I've always been kinda partial to giants and warforged.

[Diovid]

Warforged Duskblade 10, take the Knowledge Devotion and Power Attack feats. Some other possible feats: Arcane Disciple, Obtain Familiar, Improved Familiar, Arcane Strike, Battle Caster.

Full bab and casting,duskblade is a nice choise

[defiantdan]

DMM: Persisted cleric bone knight. all the undead flavor none of the calories. Cheater of Mystra is also a good go. I know you said no wizards but if you pick wizard and go polymorphing persisted wraithstrike incantatrix. bab becomes meaningless.

Hard to get away from Duskblade if you want casting and full BAB.

However, a paladin might work too:

The a-game paladin does have spell-casting enough to be a relevant feature, full BAB, and very good saves.

Speaking of which, Mystic Ranger (Dragon Magazine #336) with the Sword of the Arcane Order feat and the Shooting Star substitution levels is a decent alternative to Duskblade.

Hexblade into Jade Phoenix Mage. Hexblade has Mettle. Duskblade is nice, but hard to prestige class out of until 13. Full attack Channel is very strong and entices you to stay in Duskblade.

I can deal with having more melee than casting, as that's what most of my chars have been, if that helps any.

As a side note, how hard do you think they'd throw the dmg at me for playing a storm giant bonus feat? Lol

Feral Half giant psi war into slayer. You get pounce from template. Work up to shocktrooper with leap attack. Uber charger kind of, but you get full attack on charge and can reset with hustle so they have to come to you for AoO. If you kill your oppenent in first swing, manifest hustle as a swift action to get another free move action and charge again. Expanded knowledge to get psychic reformation and link it to a power like expansion and you can have any melee feat tree you need to take on hard opponents in the second round. Its a powerhouse before you even add your psy war powers like strength of my enemy and such. Slayer makes you immune to most mind effecting stuff. Very powerful gish feal over all.

Uhm...Human Wu Jen (NOT WIZARD) 5/Crusader 1/Jade Phoenix Mage 2/Spellsword 1/JPM +8/Archmage 3
Max Int-Con-Str-Dex-Wis-Cha

Use the Trascend Mortality + Emerald Immolation combo. Turn Body Outside Body into a spell-like ability with Archmage and have your clones make more clones. Grab a longspear, use prestidigitation to paint yourself blue and call youself The Phantom Lancer. Oh, make Giant Size a spell-like ability too, now your clones can make themselves Colossal with +32 str -_-! uhm...wat else...just...be creative :vvv

[gorfnab]

Paladin of Freedom 2/ Sorcerer 4/ Spellsword 1/ Abjurant Champion 5/ Sacred Exorcist 8

Bard 8/ Paladin of Freedom 2/ Sublime Chord 2/ Abjurant Champion 5/ Sacred Exorcist 3

[ComaVision]

DMM: Persisted cleric bone knight.

This. Persist Divine Power for full BaB.

Hexblade into Jade Phoenix Mage. Hexblade has Mettle. Duskblade is nice, but hard to prestige class out of until 13. Full attack Channel is very strong and entices you to stay in Duskblade.

Unseelie Fey Human Hexblade 7/Black Guard 3/Hexblade 10. Take the PHB2 alternate class feature for the Dark Companions.

Feats in order: Dreadful Wrath, Power Attack, Cleave, Improved Sunder, Bind Vestige, Improved Bind Vestige (Focalor), Brutal Strike, Netherese Battle Curse.

Full BAB, 4th level arcane casting, 2nd level divine casting, Command undead, + Charisma to saves, Mettle, a walk around -6+Charisma modifier debuff to saves with no saving throw to anyone adjacent to you, and a potential additional -8 on top of that. Not only are you debuffing saves, but also attack, to hit, ac, skill and ability checks as well. If flaws are allowed, I'd encourage some meta magic fun. Especially since you can use divine meta magic with your turn/rebuke attemts. Chain Unluck anyone? Unseelie fey with winter's chill gives you a ton of bonuses in addition to the debuff ability. You will be an enabler for the rest of your party to run roughshod over an encounter while you tank and melee away, and unlike a typical Hexblade you have staying power via persistent stacking debuff auras.
