07-01-04, 08:40 AM Just working up a character for an upcoming campaign looking for the usual good advice found on this forum.

He's pretty much the front line beat-them-to-hell-and-back guy. Hes devoted to Kord and believes strength, courage and force of arms is the answer to any problem. He's also got a bit of a temper.

"Vrul Orc-Son"
Half-Orc
Str:18(24) +2StatInc+2OgreGaunts+2Racial
Dex:12
Con:16(18) +2ConAmulet
Int:10(8) -2Racial
Wis:16
Cha:8(6) -2Racial

Lvls
1- Barbarian Feat-True Believer
2- Fighter FFeat-Weapon Focus:Greatsword
3- Fighter FFeat-Power Attack Feat-Intimidating Rage
4- Fighter
5- Fighter FFeat-Cleave
6- Pious Templar(Kord) Feat- Destructive Rage
7- Pious Templar
8- Frenzied Beserker

Equipment
Gauntlets of Ogre Str+2
Amulet of Health Con+2
+1 Full Plate Mail, Spiked
+1 Ring of Protection
+1 Screaming Greatsword
Cloak of Resistance +2
Wand of Cure Light Wounds
Pearl of Power(1st)

When Frenzied and Raging, His Greatsword will be at
+8Bab+12Str+1Foc+1Magic =
+22/+22/+17; 2d6+1d6+19 Damage

His huge Fortitude save and Mettle from Templar will serve to make most fortitude save spells useless against him, I tried to get his will as hefty as possible to make the DC 20 check for Frenzied Beserker
It'll be at +9, Add extra +2 while in Rage and +2 from true believer as well.

For his Pious templar spells, barring any special need, I would have him select Protection from Evil and Bless Weapon.

So what do you think? What can be improved?

07-01-04, 09:03 AM Geez, how could I have forgotten about Cleave as a prereq? Well, Cleave is good for an FB because of the massive damage they put out- they'll get good mileage out of the extra attack from the feat.
