Hello everyone.
so i built a LV1 human Crusader with flaws for a upcoming campaign. i have gone through at least a dozen ideas already until i have decided firmly on Crusader. but the DM had hinted that he might or might not make it a gestalt campaign. so my original idea was Crusader/Bard. but then i also had a different idea, how about a Crusader/Swordsage? i know, i know, that's MAD, that was until i rolled 16,16,16,16,15,14 ability scores. (best scores that i ever rolled for a character :smallbiggrin:) so i put them in this order
STR 16+3
DEX 16+3
CON 16+3
INT 14+2
WIS 16+3
CHA 15+2
So I thought this would be a great Melee build. Good BAB, Good AC, all Good saves, 6 skills+Int+human skill points, LOTS of Maneuvers and i get a somewhat better weapon focus for free.
Basically the Idea of this Character is he going to be a Neutral Good Ex-Captain of the 4th knighthood of a kingdom and he is very tough to damage but is also very skilled in sword combat, knowing many different styles of swordplay.
I've heard that Warblade would be a better idea. but for me having a pretty balance build is very appealing to me.
so far for my 4 feats i have Extra granted Maneuver, Stone Power, Power attack, and i don't know what to take as a forth. I wanted a Bastard Sword but i know that probably a bad idea. might as well go with Greatsword. also i going to start with Scale armor but before i get to Lv 2 i going to either get a Chain shirt or Mithral Breastplate so i can also have the Wis AC bonus. just can't afford Chain shirt at LV1. so thats my Build. any suggestions would be helpful, especially what to take as a 4th feat (note: i don't think i need Adaptive style right away.)
note: i don't need any arcane or Divine spell caster stuff i have 2 friends that are also playing that love messing around with that stuff. also Psonics are not Allowed.
