[Cerek the Barbaric]

Originally posted by krunchyfrogg: In my above thread about power-parties, I made my protogonist a Berserker/Cleric dual class. I'm wondering, do you think I'd be better off (ie, have a more powerful character) if the protagonist were a dwarven fighter/cleric multiclass? He'd eventually have access to both Fighter and Cleric HLA's, which would be really cool.

A dwarven character will naturally be "tougher" than a human PC due to the Con bonus and bonuses to Saves vs Magic and Poison. And don't knock the advantages of the Fighter HLA's. Hardiness will reduce physical damage, Resist Magic will reduce the effects of magical damage (in addition to the dwarves increased Saving Throws) and Critical Strike or Smite can help take an opponent out of the fight in a hurry.

Plus your overall hit points will be higher since you still gain hp's under fighter class too.
