A little background: a friend of mine asked me to join a PbP game of his, and requested that I make a "tracker" character for it. I figure sure, but I didn't want to go with a same-old, same-old ranger or a druid. So I start flipping through my books trying to find some things with survival as a class skill that seem interesting, when I realize that I hadn't checked Unearthed Arcana in a while.
So I check out the Savage Bard and Wilderness Rogue, both kinda meh toward. But then I run across the Druidic Avenger. Gets rid of your annoying connection to animals (companion and spontaneous casting) for fast movement and rage? Effing sign me up!
As a little background for this, I'm not only trying to make a decent character, but I'm trying to stay away from the super-powered CoD Cheese. And frankly, I also didn't want a druid character who was constantly surrounded by animal friends.
Anyway, I flip a few more pages to the "other variants" section, where I come across the deadly hunter variant. Holy crap this thing is awesome. Give up your Armor Proficiencies and Wild shape for monk fast move and AC, and ranger favored enemy, tracking and swift tracking? Perfect.
So combining the two, I've got a wis-based divine Full-Caster that is essentially a barbarian//ranger//monk gestalt, and takes only the most useful/fitting abilities for those classes to pair with druid casting.
So I gotta ask: what feats would you all pair for this, utilizing a strongheart halfling from the forgotten realms Cannath Vale who got Fearless as a free regional feat?
