Going to play a Bugbear in a 4th level game.

Stats 17 16 16 13 13 10

Bugbear Str +4, Dex +2, Con +2, Cha -2
Natural Armor +3
Move Silently +4
3 HD Humanoid Primary Ref save
2 Feats
I will not start with a class level, but I should have a plan. The stats lend themselves to Melee type ... and that is what I prefer to play anyway.

Thinking of going with these stats
Str 21 Dex 15 Con 18 Int 13 Wis 16 Cha 8

Thinking of either Barbarian/Fighter or Favored Soul (Mini's Handbook)

Ideas/Thoughts?

Check out Funny Slaughter's improved trip build. It would work great with a Bugbear.

Oh, to answer the question...

ability alocation looks good.

Almost any melee class works good as a bugbear.

Personally I'd prefer to go Barbarian up to 2 then Rogue at least to 3 or 4, and ranger for some levels also (up to 3rd to avoid multiclass exp penalties).

Actually, with those stats a bugbear monk looks good as well.

Things to avoid are any type of primary caster. That being said, don't be afraid to pick up a few levels of a caster class for a little self support. Cleric 2-4 would be a nice touch, with only a 1 point hit to your BAB.

I hope it goes well for ya. I know I enjoyed it! :cool:

Cheers
