...for when I've a chance to play. I was toying up the idea of an elven bard/weaponmaster with a few levels of RDD. Based on a similar theme of my jedi sential/weapon master from Kotor 2. I wonder how such a build could cope - thoughts/ideas would be appriecated. Given how I don't have the manual on me right now, its a bit difficult to work out such things. What levels does the RDD gain its stat bonuses? As to the weapon, I was considering a rapier or a longsword (to be different from my usual katana). The RDD is for the stat bonuses, the hitdie and for the nice effect of the breath. I considered a sorcerer, but that's more akin to a jedi consular - even though true strike and keen edge are tempting... but I don't really think its worth it. I was thinking that a paladin would be most akin to the guardian class. Although a paladin/weapon master would be fun too. [img]smile.gif[/img] . Before anyone points out that bards can't be lawful (if I recall correctly), I think NG is perhaps closest to alignment that I could get away with. Of course, once I've put enough levels in to get RDD & WM the alignment shouldn't matter...
How many feats are needed for the WM? Weapon focus & spring attack feats?

The other build I was considering was a barbarian/weaponmaster perhaps with a few ranger levels or a barbarian/sorc(1)/RDD just for kicks. Again, thoughts?

Cheers in advance, CD.
