01-01-06, 05:03 PM The projected idea is currently Fighter 8/Cavalier 10/??? 2.

And this list of feats is pretty much what is required for it in the least: Mounted Combat, Spirited Charge, Trample, PA, Imp. Sunder, Imp. Bull Rush, Combat Brute, Calvary Charger, Leap Attack, Ride By Attack, Weapon Focus (Lance), and Shock Trooper.

So, is there any way to improve this entire build? I'm sure there must be, and so, I ask the CO board for their input in this entire thing. Pretty much any book can be used for this, too, as long as it's WotC made.

01-01-06, 05:56 PM Fewer fighter levels, are you really going to be that strapped for feats? As fighter levels really arent that good! Paladin for the summon mount ability is always nice, perhaps look at the supermount thread thats pretty good :) must be in the library

Well, as you can see, this build needs to cram in at least 12 feats, and the earlier, the better. Unfortunatly, for most of those feats, nothing else really supplies them and keeps me at a full BAB.

Paladin is an immeadiate "No", if only because it lacks what the build requires: Bonus feats out the wazoo. Plus having to be a goody-two-shoes all the time doesn't appeal to me so much, and it add's another ability score I'd want to be good (Cha).

01-01-06, 06:19 PM Check out beastmaster from Complete Adventurer. It only requires 1 feat to get into (skill focus handle animal, something that can help you) gives you an animal companion equal to a druid's +3 for every beastmaster level you have.

01-01-06, 06:26 PM that's slightly blown out of proportion there ninjarabbit at first level it either gives you an animal companion with the equivalent levels of a druid 4 or adds it's level +3 to your companion's progression, so between that and natural bond you could get a nasty companion to ride if you felt like tweaking your build a bit, the prereqs are easy too, just some ranks in handle animal and survival and a feat i think?

Yeah I guess I could have worded it a little better, so I guess that means I'm writing the next D&D book.
