#1 Unmaker Aug 06, 2010 23:15:50	I want to play a thri-kreen for our new Dark Sun campaign, but I don't know what roles will be open (usually I let everyone else pick what they want to play and I fill whatever role is left.) What, in your opinion, is the best class choice - per role - for a thri-kreen? Thanks in advance.

Leader-Shaman (have its spirit be insectlike too)(Ardent as a close second) Defender-Battlemind (the new build in the Psionic power is perfect)

Leader-Shaman (have its spirit be insectlike too)(Ardent as a close second) Defender-Battlemind (the new build in the Psionic power is perfect) I agree with everything here except Defender, which I shall add my 2cp as Fighter being the best, what with the built-in accuracy boost to make up for the lack of a boost to your primary.  A Tempest Fighter is easily the best here, what with the "iconic" kreen having a weapon in each hand... or a gythka.

#5 Eisenritter Aug 06, 2010 23:47:06	Was pared down to Dex/Wis, speed 7, skill bumps Nature and Athletics, always has a running start for jumping, and gets a free Quick Draw 1/round.  Have not seen what alternate stat they get, if any.
#6 bruul Aug 06, 2010 23:55:36	Yeah Tempest fighter would be my second choice due to the wisdom bump, but the dex works for the new Battlemind build and its all about speed.  Very old school kreen to me.
#7 Lord_Ventnor Aug 07, 2010 0:31:49	Info released on some threads indicates that Thri-Kreen actually get either Str/Dex or Dex/Wis boosts, so Tempest Fighters really are the best defender build for them at the moment.

Psi-leap into enemies with a three way claw attack followed by stone fist. Or maybe a calm, solo monk hunter with the patience of a stalking tiger using centered breath style. Thri-Kreen make excellent psionic or primal characters, of almost any class.

Odds of me getting the striker role aren't too good though...

As mentioned, they get either dex/str or dex/wis, so either or the established monk paths is open to you. Moreover, your encounter power is a melee attack that targets one, two, or three creatures and does extra damage the more targets you have.  So being the type of character that gets into melee would be good. Per role, I'd go like this: Striker - Monk Defender - Fighter Controller - Druid or Seeker Leader - Shaman (Though could make a pretty good Warlord as well - the Dex bonus can help with Heavy Blade feats)
