Half-Orc: Usual Reasons

Warforged w/Adamantine Body: Nerfs your speed, but you start off with an AC of 20-21 & DR 2/Adamantine and you qualify for the warforged juggernaut prestige class.

Warforged w/Mithril Body: You keep the speed & dex bonus.

In both WF cases, the +2 CON helps

Halfling. Gives you an excuse to have a velociraptor at some point. Then you get it awakened (Leadership cohort?).

Dwarf w/Greatsword: Super-Deformed Anime character in action...

06-07-05, 03:47 PM Thanks DarkWarriorKarg,
I was actually thinking halfling or Warforged but my DM doesn't think having to in the party is a good idea, so i thought it would be funny to be a Kobold.

Well, the roll-play challenge is there...

But Kobolds are as sub-optimal as barbarians as you can get. They get shafted on physical, except for dex.

06-07-05, 04:53 PM That might be true, but not only am i up for the challenge but i already rolled its stats and call it luck but i rolled perfectly. Now i just need for the dm to approve if not i've already made my halfling too.

I love it!!!!!

If you qualify, see if your DM will let you take the Improved natural armor feat. It's a monster feat in the MM, but may come in helpful.

From the 3.5 SRD
IMPROVED NATURAL ARMOR [GENERAL]
Prerequisites: Natural armor, Con 13.
Benefit: The creature’s natural armor bonus increases by 1.
Special: A creature can gain this feat multiple times. Each time the creature takes the feat its natural armor bonus increases by another point.

Cool!

I'm glad that works (I'd hate to have a barbarian w/ 9 STR... kinda ruins the image... glad the dice were kind)

06-08-05, 04:30 AM Shifter barbarians always work well. Either beasthide (+2 to Con and +2 natural AC) which extend your shift/rage time AND give more HP, or one of the strength enhancing traits (Longtooth, Razorclaw, or Gorebrute) to give you an even higher damage output.

Personally though I think the gorebrute works best with a scout... can only use horns on a charge attack, which is at least 10ft of straight movement, and scouts get bonus damage on any attack in which they move at least 10ft.... hrmmmm :D

06-08-05, 07:52 AM Thanks for the suggestions everyone, but my Kobold is great, not only is he almost as strong as our party's fighter (a warforged by the way) but he's harder to hit. and by almost as strong i mean that he's got less strength and that's it but my strength is like 14 and his is 16
