"Indiana Jones" Type Build Recommendation

[redrobot]

Hey all,

First of all I just want to say I’m posting this in both fighter and barbarian forums because I think that these two classes are the way to go for the char I’m looking to build.

A little background first.

I’m very newb-ish to this game but I feel I have done enough homework to make a multi class work. Also I’m what I like to refer to as an “Internal” RPer. What I mean by that is that the internal logic of my character means a lot to me. I develop personalities and back stories for my characters and have an overall story arch in my mind as I level up. I don’t typically RP with others, but this internalization of my character helps me stave off the monotony that we all encounter in mmos.

That said what I’m looking for is a solid build that fits the, for lack of a better description, “Indiana Jones” type. A straight up (melee) HUMAN brawler (no sneaking) that also is very dungeon savvy (spotting and opening hidden doors, opening locks etc).

What really matters most to me is seeing ALL of the dungeon. I don’t want to be unable to find that hidden door or unable to open that chest. Traps to be frank are secondary. But I want to be able to see ALL of the Dungeon.

If anyone has any built recommendations that fit these criteria I would be very grateful. Links or DETAILED lvling advice would be best (still pretty new here). From what I gathered i'm probably looking at a light rogue splash. But most rogue/fighter builds focus on sneak attack damage or don't mention Lock and Secret Door spoting abilities.

I know it’s probably a pain seeing yet another newb with a build request but I hope you will be able to help.

Thanks so much.

P.S. 32 point builds are fine and buying tomes isn’t a problem.

EDIT: Hey, got a bunch of great advice in the Barb forum. Guess double posting is as dumb as I thought it would be. Next time I won't post after 26 hours no sleep.

huh. well, with a human or half-orc, you could just take the dragonmark of finding (need to the second tier of feats, and if you do you may as well go third tier i guess?), and get yourself a detect secret doors clicky to hold you until you get true seeing. that would handle secret doors, and opening locks.
