Primary melee Two-weapon fighting Strong cat traits: High Dex rather than Str Claws Really fast in general, also with faster burst speeds Good at jumping and pouncing Natural climber Superior senses (scent, lowlight, darkvision) Starting Level: 10th Starting Gold: 65,000, no limit on item price Optimization Goal: Get the non-essential elements met adequately, then focus on as much TWF synergies as we can. I'm looking at dragoon-style pounce and crit-fishing, mostly via Tiger Claw maneuvers. HOUSERULES & BOOKS Show Books: All 3.0, 3.5, and Pathfinder books are available. He's probably also open to Dr/Du mags. Skills: We're using Pathfinder's skill system. Important differences for this build -- no extra cost for cross-class, max ranks = HD (all skill requirements for feats/PrCs should be reduced by three), and Balance, Jump, and Tumble are all wrapped into Acrobatics (Dex-based, wee!). Feats: Feats are gained at every odd level. Classes: We're free to choose between 3.5's or Pathfinder's versions of core classes. Regardless, there is no XP penalty for multiclassing. Races: Since Pathfinder races tend to be more powerful than 3.5's (by approximately 1 LA), we're knocking off an LA of any D&D race, raher than giving Pathfinder races +1 LA. This isn't fully relevant, since I have a custom race, but it does explain why it probably looks too strong for a 1 LA. Magic Items: We're ignoring body slot affinities, and we're adding in the Headband body slot that Pathfinder added, as well as making armor seperate from the Body slot. Custom items are allowed. *Unearthed Arcana*: Fractional BAB and saves, flaws, and traits.
