New Edition, New Campain, in the Realms but all other standard WoTC Books allowed (no Oriental please.. more a personal thing).


This is what I came up with, it´s certainly not Min/Maxed yet, so I´d like to have an opinion or two from you on if it is even viable..
My personal preferences are more to have a variety of skills as you can see.

The greatsword is not a given, but I thought it might go nice with the new Power Attack.

Builds up to lvl 10 are given here, beyond that, I´ll want to keep my Options for new Splats (BoED or Complete Fighter)

32 point buy, lvl 4 is where we start. Must be Human.


1st Consideration...
Ranger/Cleric of Gwaeron Windstorm (Fav. Weapon: Greatsword)
Domain of Travel & Animal (Good, Knowledge & Plant are the others)

Str: 18 Dex: 14 Con: 16 Int: 10 Wis: 14 Cha: 8

Lvl Class Feats other

1 Ranger Weapon Focus, Power Attack,
2 Cleric
3 Cleric Cleave
4 Ranger Rapid Shot Wis +1
5 Ranger Endurance
6 Cleric [Feat]
7 Templar Weapon Spec.
8 Contempl. Wis +1, Celerity Domain
9 Cleric [Feat] GMW-Spell!
10 Ranger (?) Animal Comp.


Thats sort of my favorite so far... pls comment.

An older version of the big Sword man was this Paladin of Torm (Fav. Weapon: Greatsword)
I am not quite sure if it turns out more or less effective.
It sure as hell as almost to none skill-points. Being an old Rogue-Player, this kinda bugs me.


Str: 14 Dex: 12 Con: 14 Int: 10 Wis: 12 Cha: 18

Lvl Class Feats other

1 Paladin Weapon Focus, Power Attack
2 Paladin
3 Paladin Divine Might
4 Paladin Wis +1
5 Paladin Summon Horse!
6 Paladin Endurance
7 Templar Weapon Spec.
8 Templar
9 Templar Cleave
10 Templar Impr. Critical

Hello,
if you play in FR, then have a look at the windwalker prestige class from Faith and Pantheons.

You can qualify with Ranger 1/Cleric 6 and get full Bab and spell progression.
God is Shaundakul.
Domains Travel and Trade
Weapon focus greatsword needed.

8 Contempl. Wis +1, Celerity Domain
9 Cleric [Feat] GMW-Spell!
10 Ranger (?) Animal Comp.

Um, how at 8th lvl do you qualify for Contemplative? I thought you had to have 13 ranks in knowledge (religion), i.e. 10th lvl.
