Kent's custom Character Builds

[sobriquet318]

I'd like to be warforged so that my caster/trapper partner can heal me. I love the idea of a ragetank, but what's important is that I can keep threat and stay alive. Any trips, sunders and/or disrupts are awesome! I was wondering if you could make this better...I'm not great at making builds. While I prefer THF I'm willing to go sword and board (as long as it's still fun to play!) or even consider cleric/pally/favored soul.

Also I'm totally lost as to what enhancements to grab.

Hi again, Kent! Thanks again for the two awesome builds you made me, I had a follow-up question for the first. Why Bastard Sword? I have very little knowledge of items and whatnot, but I have a BUNCH of pretty decent khopesh from before the big changes (and a couple really nice khopesh from after, too)...I was wondering if it'd be wise to grab that instead of bastard swords.
