Apr 02, 2008 1:10:45 Any advice on making a gnomish luchadore? I'm planning on making a reaping mauler to make the grapples and pins worthwhile,and I plan on getting imp grapple and unarmed (obv), along with being a dungeon crasher and having earth's embrace.I may try to crossclass barbar/frenzied berserker, but that I may avoid just for munchkin reasons along with levels. I don't know what level this character will be when introduced, but naturally when it is, I plan on progressing it, so guidance for future reference would be helpful; any help would be appreciated.
