5th lvl fighter affected by lycanthrapy (warerat). str-12,dex-20,con-18,int-14,wis-11,cha-17. i'm about to level up. just would like an opinion or two. i have such a low strength i'm not sure about continuing on w/ the fighter class. we really just use basic rules.

also, i was just handed a 4th lvl rouge from a member who had to quit. str-15,dex-18,con-14,int-17,wis-13,cha-18. also curious about advancement.


any help?

Multiclass the fighter to some casting class which uses charisma ( Favored soul comes to mind ), and just make the rogue a pure character, without any multiclassing because...to be honest...those stats are pretty radical, and almost any character that has them is really tough...

I would keep being a fighter, since you have already invested 5 levels into it. I suggest you either go for Two-Weapon Fighting or for ranged combat. A high Dex is crucial to both, while Str isn't as important as it is for straight melee fighters.

Be aware, though, that since the fighter is now a Wererat, the character is effectively an 8th-level character (5 fighter levels, +1 rat hit die, +2 afflicted lycanthrope level adjustment). So you won't actually gain your 6th regular class level until you gain enough experience to reach 9th character level. Unless your DM uses different rules for lycanthropes :)

I am going to suggest that you take a look at the Dervish PRC from Complete Warrior. I presume you have Weapon finesse to make use of that dex, what are your feats, etc.
