Gnomish Fighter, any ideas?

Apr 08, 2008 6:20:07 Although there are many other races that could suit a Fighter better, I'd like to find a way to play this combination and still be effective. The size penalties for trip, grapple, and various other combat-oriented moves that a Fighter will normally be encountering seems to be stacking up on me. Any ideas on how to build a gnomish Fighter to make it effective?

Apr 08, 2008 6:52:06 eh, no need to bump that much. Anyways, I would go with something along the lines of a whisper gnome swordsage. Swordsages have manouvers that rely on relativly small size to the opponents and there are feats in complete warrior and races of stone (and perhaps races of destiny as well) that gives you bonuses towards larger enemies.

Apr 08, 2008 18:38:33 I would do something like Swashbuckler 3/Rogue 2 (complete champion variant)/Invisable Blade 5/Blade Bravo 10

Yeah, you have a waisted feat with Rapier focus, but you become a feint/sneak attack master with some nice skills against larger opponents (practicly everyone).
