Hey gang. One of my players wanted to DM a few little missions to help a new player learn faster (I'm the group DM but I can't commit to more sessions). So he's gonna DM some sessions at level 1. I expect this to be a massive hack-n-slash as he really doesn't know much about magic. It'll be really straight forward with probably a lot of narrative and very little role-playing. That's cool. It's mainly to familiarize the new guy with the combat a little more.
I wanna build a dex based spear-weilding swordsage who uses a lot of the Tiger Claw (jumping around and attacking) and maybe a hint of Dessert Wind. Maybe a dabble in Stone Dragon for the "mountain hammer" line. I'd kinda like to model him after a mix of Brad Pitt fom Troy, and that australian guy who use a spear in the Final Fantasy Advent Children movie (he doesn't have many scenes).
Lots of problems with this build. Can I weapon finesse a spear. If not, then I'll need a high str for attack, dex for AC, wis for AC and class abilities. I'm not worried about damage. Maneuvers should take care of that. I'd like to do the leap attack thing, but is that useless on a 3/4 BAB build. Any advice is appreciated.
Books are Core, PHBII, all Completes, MIC, Draco, SC and of course...ToB
No one in this group is optimized so I'm not worried about the perfect build. Just a fun one.
