My new tank

[teddok]

Some of you on Serlonia might know Perren. He is a very egotistical dwarven fighter. He is a 28 point build also. I love em to death. I have been thinking for a very long time about what I could do to make him better if i rerolled him. I will not get rid of him but i think that I will roll up his son. This is what he looks like as a 32 pointer.

Now some of you maybe wondering why i took the Lvl of Bard. Two reasons....
The first is wand usage. Now I know i would get that from a lvl of Paly but I want him to be CG. Another option would have been Ranger. Those 2 classes would have both given me wand healing. They would also give me an additional +1 to my BaB, and another 4 HP. (yea 4 hitpoints is the only differance between a Fighter and Bard per lvl.) The other reason was UMD. I cant get both a maxed UMD and wand healing from any other one class. The song is also a nice little buff. It will help a little I think a little.

As it is he has a base HP total of 342 Add on a greater false life and a +6 con item thats an addition 72 HPs for a total of 414. 150 argenseese favor puts him at 424. A plus 3 tome will put him at 434. The orgianal sits at 460. Thats more HP then alot of Barbs raged.

I took the 14 Int for the skill points. It allows me to focus on UMD, Jump, Swim and Balance. Those are my 4 main skills of choice. He has all the main Weapon and genric feats that he needs also so I decide to take Skill Profeincy: UMD. That puts his UMD at a 20. He know can use Race required items and can also use Rez scrolls and the such with a Decent success rate.

Well here is the build...
Let me know what you all think of it.

Well I guess that sense no one has commented that they belive it is a good build.

[bandyman1]

Actually, you lose 4 hps for going bard. Bard = 6 hps per lvl. Fighter = 10 hps per lvl.
Ranger would have lost you 2. Ranger = 8 hps per lvl.


Had to throw something up there since you want comments :D .

Other than that, looks pretty solid man.

Well i was about to disagree with you but then I looked at it again and found that yes you are correct, but again its only 4 HP's.

Any comments or can I just log this a another Great build.

Well, since you've given up the BAB for one level of Bard, why not "go all in" and take two levels of Bard?

You will lose:
4 hit points,
no feats, and no enhancements you are using, no durations on spells, etc.

You will gain:
Access to the Bard's Charisma I enhancement (handy for a UMD type),
access to Wand and Scroll Mastery I (+10% for 1 Action point),
a +1 to both your Will and Reflex saves,
more Skill points and more In class skill points for UMD, Balance, etc.,
another spell slot,
a few more spell points,
another song.

It looks like a good trade off to me.

Hum....
