5th level, very little limitation fighter-type [Archive] - Wizards Community

08-19-06, 10:17 PM We're starting a new campaign. We're tired of plot driven, character intensive, detailed D&D for the moment. One of the group is running a random dungeon crawling expedition. Backstory and plot will take a backseat to whooping monster butt and looting.
I don't usually go in for this kind of powergaming, but it will be nice for a SMALL change of pace.

So I am not a powergamer and need some assistance building a character.
The DM is known to be deadly and favor some psionics.

Class, feats, and race: Any WOTC book is a go, 3.0 or 3.5, except campaign specific items like Forgotton Realms, Eberron, and Dragon Lance, they're out. But any race or class or feat pulled from any other source is fine. One caveat: if there is both a 3.0 and 3.5 version of a class, feat, or race, the 3.5 version will be used.
I can even use nonWOTC D&D sources as long as I can bring a copy of the source to the table.

I would like to build a fighter type, close combatant, not ranged. And as a dungeon crawler, no mounted combat types. I'm not great with spell casters.
NO alignment restrictions...in fact we're leaning toward evil as a group.
Psionics are allowed but I'd like my character to stay away from them as I as a player don't know them very well.

So, here are my guidelines:
5th level
Stats: 15, 15, 14, 14, 14, 7
9000gp

Edit: One small other caveat: nothing funky from Unearthed Arcana.

08-19-06, 10:42 PM I do not own this book, but it is fair game as far as character building goes....

08-19-06, 11:28 PM Well if you're going to use it then you should probably have it... but Swordsage or Warblade would be great for those stats. And they're fairly straightforward.
