I'm playing in a short (3-5 session) 15th level adventure and I built a couple of warrior characters. We usually are pretty open as far as books allowed, but for this adventure the DM is enforcing a strict "Core Only" game (PHB+DMG only).

Wondering if anyone wanted to critique my guys, I haven't decided which guy I want to play.

Jerran- Ranger 11/Fighter 4 (http://www.sylnae.net/3eprofiler/view.php?id=7374)

Marrkar Redbeard- Paladin 3/Fighter 4/Dwarven Defender 8 (http://www.sylnae.net/3eprofiler/view.php?id=7453)

Samson- Paladin 15 (http://www.sylnae.net/3eprofiler/view.php?id=7714)

Xath- Paladin 3/Socerer 2/Dragon Disiple 10 (http://www.sylnae.net/3eprofiler/view.php?id=7423)

I think they're all pretty well rounded and ready to go, but if anyone see's anything to improve I like to hear it. :)

12-28-05, 10:31 AM For your paladin15 build...are you human or dwarf? You have human at the top of your sheet, but between the picture and some of the racial bonuses listed on your sheet I think you are dwarf.
What about a holy avenger? That would be really nice for you. Also, half-celestial template is nice. Divine Might and Divine Vigor are also good paladin feats.

For your war mount, why not get a dire lion? It would be much better then a war horse...it could also go into dungeons a bit easier.

EDIT: Lose the ring of prot +2 for ring of natural armor +2. You can cast spells (i.e. protection from evil) which will give you a +2 deflection bonus.

Instead of +5 full plate, why not get +1 mithril full plate of Soulfire. This makes it lighter and gives you a permenant death ward.
Lose the +5 shield, and go for a two-handed greatsword (holy avenger)...and when not using that, you are using your lance. Don't worry about the flaming portion....flaming does not get multiplied during a charge...but valorious is not a bad enchantment for a charging lance. Obviously ditch the frost pick for the greatsword.
To afford the holy avenger you may have to downgrade your horses armor a bit...just play with the costs...that weapon would really help you out. SR, dispel magic, major bonuses to evil, etc.

EDIT2: You do not have any headgear...make your wisdom sphere a head gear item

Thanks for the advice, Samson started as a human, but I decided on Gnome (I changed the sheet.

What about a holy avenger? That would be really nice for you. Also, half-celestial template is nice. Divine Might and Divine Vigor are also good paladin feats.

I figured on using the Holy Sword spell, to simulate a Holy evenger, without the cost. Divine Might and Vigor are out. (PHB&DMG only), and no templates allowed.

Instead of +5 full plate, why not get +1 mithril full plate of Soulfire. This makes it lighter and gives you a permenant death ward.
Again Core only :(

Lose the +5 shield, and go for a two-handed greatsword (holy avenger)...and when not using that, you are using your lance. Don't worry about the flaming portion....flaming does not get multiplied during a charge...but valorious is not a bad enchantment for a charging lance. Obviously ditch the frost pick for the greatsword.
Good advise on the flaming, though I can't take valorus, Maybe Keen instead. I Figured on charging from dogback most times, and wanted to max out defense which is why I went with the pick/shield style.

EDIT: Lose the ring of prot +2 for ring of natural armor +2. You can cast spells (i.e. protection from evil) which will give you a +2 deflection bonus.

Good Idea

For your war mount, why not get a dire lion? It would be much better then a war horse...it could also go into dungeons a bit easier.
Went with a riding dog, his stats are in the Notes section at the bottom.

Good Idea

Thanks :)
