Everyone,
I am requesting recommendations for classes for an Underdark 3.5e game I am joining. Here is what I have to work with:
Setting: The Underdark
Race: stuck with Duergar (there are Drow in the group)
Game type: normal encounters but there IS PVP which is the main reason for the request.
Levels: 16! I rolled perfect!
Books allowed: any of the published ones.
Others in group: all I know is there is one scout/ranger with the swift Hunter feat (the build I wanted to play)
Edit: Looks like I am stuck with a melee guy. :-(
Main Question:
So, there are LOTS of Drow PCs. I am one of the 'lucky' ones to play a Duergar. What I am looking for is a melee class that has survivability in this world. I KNOW I will be attacked by PC from time to time. I have not played many high level games but from what others have told me AC is not as critical as everything hits a lot more. They say saves are more important. True?
I am leaning towards a swordsage or a warblade. Their powers basically have no SR issues which almost everything I will face will have. I thought about a Shadow Hand focused SwordSage but I am not sure how valuable the SA damage will be. Thought maybe the warblade would be able to deal more damage (without SA damage) and have a better chance to survive (with the manuvera that give better chance of making saves.)
Anyways, there you have it. For this specifics world with all the stinking dirty Drow and PVP that is expected...what do you think
Oh..and the DM is thinking to change the favored class of the Duergar to Ranger.
