01-03-06, 03:48 PM Well the "problem " is this... in the upcomming game i have to make a character. The party is composed of 2 fighters, one rogue and one sorcerer all level 1.

Useful info for future posters:
->starting level: 1
->starting gold: 900gp
->rolled stats: 10 11 11 12 12 18
->allowed books: phb+dmg

i need sume sugestions on the path i should take. Of course the first thing that comes to mind is a cleric but with those stats i'm again walking at crawling speed (with a max 12 strenngth i'll be on medium encumberance at best). Other thought i had was to make another fighter focued on tripping/disarming and hoping to drop all the enemies fast before they can do anything (we have lost of fire power :) )

i'm not looking at the BEST option yet (i'll go to character optimization for that) i'm asking for opinions/other options :).

thanks for the time :D

01-04-06, 10:00 AM A dwarven fighter with a 12 in con to get a 14 or an elven ranged fighter. Crappy con but stay away and try not to get hit...

01-04-06, 10:09 AM a wizard, maybe elven would be good. since wizards mostly focus on int, and elves get a bonus to dex. though the con penalty would hurt, if you are playing 3.0 you can just get a toad familiar and offset it...or take the toad in 3.5 anyway and get the toughness feat, adding 3 hp.

Meh, I'd say go with the elf wizard. Put the 18 in intelligence, and your 12's in dex & con. Try to offset the loss of con with a toad familiar, as Araciel suggested, and otherwise you're going to heavily rely on your friends for defensive support. Know the moves withdraw and total defense, for they will help you.
