I’m playing in a large party and there are enough players to fill the standard archetypes. Therefore, I am interested in making a good support character, to be the spackle to keep the rest of the party together. The challenge: to make a 20th level build with the best diversity of party-supporting abilities. The sources: any WOTC v3.5 core compliant books, including the Players Guide to Faerun and Complete Warrior/Cleric. No Unearthed Arcana, Oriental Adventures, or Dragon mags. The dice: Oh, how Tymora hath blessed us with: 18, 15, 14, 13, 12, 12 Here’s my sample build. Please feel free to critique or submit your own. For the sake of brevity, I have only included pre-req skills and feats I like. NG Lesser Aasimar, Fighter 1/ Cleric 1/ Bard 1/ Marshal 4/ War Chanter 10/ Wizard 3 STR14 CON15 DEX12 INT13 WIS12+2 CHR 18+2 The theory: is to chant and cajole my companions to victory! Annoy foes with pesky arrow-biting action, or lay about with a good reach weapon. Be the Face, perform the occasional minor buff, and CLW those fallen out of death’s door! Yessir, she looks like an XP wreck for sure… 1. Fighter 1. Feats: Power Attack, Wpn Focus: Guisarme or Longbow. Sk: Heal 2 ranks. 2. Cleric of Oghma (Luck, Travel) 1. Sk: Heal 3 ranks. 3. Bard 1. Feat: Combat Expertise! 4. Marshal 1. Sk: Heal 1, Perform (chant) 3 5. Marshal 2. Sk: Heal 2, Perform (chant) 1 6. Marshal 3. Feat: Sacred Healing! 7. Marshal 4. Sk: Perform (chant) 2 8. War Chanter 1 9. Wizard 1. Feat: Divine Might! 10. War Chanter 2. 11. War Chanter 3. 12. Wizard 2. Feat: Practiced Spellcaster! 13. War Chanter 4. 14. War Chanter 5. 15. Wizard 3. Feat: TBD 16. War Chanter 6. 17. War Chanter 7. 18. War Chanter 8. Feat: TBD 19. War Chanter 9. 20. War Chanter 10!
