gnomefrk 01-28-06, 08:50 PM	Give me some help. Anyone got a good build for a Bbn/Druid? I am thinking... 1st...bbn (dodge) (i am thinking scimitar as wpn. of choice, druids are restricted from have reach wpns and all) 2nd...drd 3rd...bbn (mobility) 4th...drd 5th...bbn 6th...drd (spring attack) Keep in mind I want this character to be abke to hold his own in a fight and also cast magic. Any ideas are appreciated (up top 10th lvl would be great)

One level of Barb is nice for the speed boost, and for the extra weapon proficencies, and for Rage (and thus for Snow Tiger Berserker, if you're from Faerun -- being from Rashemon also gives you Rashemi Elemental Summoning so it's an excellent region for a Barb/Druid all around). Anyway -- one level of Barb is the most I'd take. After that, you're losing way too much in the long-term (Wild Shape). -- N

gnomefrk 01-28-06, 11:08 PM	not a bad idea, but in our campaign we are limited to the PHB.

Nifft 01-28-06, 11:14 PM	Play a straight Druid. You will really be hurting your power level by taking that many levels of Barbarian. -- N
