I am currently playing a Savage technologist barbarian//unarmed swordsage in the current game. It's cool, it's fun, it's pretty strong and I'm very happy about it because it does everything I like - it punches pretty well and shoot while doing so and most important it is completely viable even without a gun.
The problem is that I am using a lot of cheesy things to make this build work. First off we are using both 3.5 and pathfinder, the DM is letting me use the "Sword and Gun" ability with my unarmed strikes, we have 2 flaws and we are allowed to use any core and third party book, I rolled 3d6 for my stats and they are pretty much over the roof because I'm a lucky son of an Orcus - in our group everything is legit, we play by the rules usually but like in the "Sword and gun" example we can make some exceptions. Everything is legit till the character stay a character and it doesn't turn to be a meaningless build, we don't play with numbers on a sheet but with characters capable of having good roleplay potential.
BUT! I said "what if I want to play in another game with my character?" I won't because I love my group but what if in the future (an alternative future) I will be forced to play with strict rules like fps rules? I don't want to play another shabby character, I love this one and I just don't want to play something else, I just want to say "Hey maybe fun can be legal sometimes".
So how do I recreate my character with fps rules?
She is an Elan, Dex based, absolutely chaotic neutral and with a passion for raging in combat (so I'm not considering lawful monk-y builds), capable of using guns with unarmed strikes obiously but being pretty good even without a gun
