Dayum, even the name is awesome.

Sorry, but Gladiator being my favorite movie of all time, I had to request advice from some of you great CharOp thinkers on how to build this guy.

I couldn't find any builds when I did a web search. I tried to make him in NWN, but gave up when I decided that his head looked too much like that of my other NWN character, Chuck Norris(Monk 40th lvl, 60 for each ability score).

I figured that even though this character was supposed to be a part of RL(yet fiction), he deserved something less mundane than simply a bunch of levels in fighter. Reasonably intelligent and very charismatic as well as physically capable, I took him as one of those characters who were blessed with high ability score rolls, but I don't think such luck benefits the fighter as much as other classes. I considered Legendary Leader, but I'm not sure what feats exactly to go along with it, and I would like him to be optimized a bit besides just having what seems to make sense.

He planned on bringing an entire freakin' army to bear on Rome and thus staging a coup(though he was screwed out of being able to), and I figured that accounted for a very high leadership score, if not a pretty high level.

Anyway, I'm still stuck, and I hoped some of you with knowledge of many different feats/builds would be able to offer suggestions/builds. Any imput would be greatly appreciated!
