You should almost NEVER need them, but if you get grappled, swallowed, or you find yourself pinned down in a narrow corridor, they are nice to have. Go with a glaive and make sure you put armor spikes on your armor (always a smart idea, reach weapon or not!).

If your focus is primarily damage, you'll do good in nearly every other situation with a simple 5' step and a full attack, or a move action + strike. Spiked Chains are really only great for controllers. This also has the advantage of not being super precision dependant, as PA damage works against constructs just fine. Use that one SA die to really hammer people with what are normally roguey feats, but that benefit hugely from a 2hander. Be more of a thug rogue than a finesse rogue. Get a nice 2hander, even one with reach like a glaive, and focus primarily on 2handed PA damage. If I was you, I'd avoid TWF.its too feat heavy for now.

Its static bonus damage, so it multiplies on a crit (unlike SA). This is REALLY strong, as it prevents foes from full attacking you back, and with high damage strikes like some Diamond Mind and Tiger Claw and Stone Dragon have, the save you force can be pretty high.Ĭraven (Champions of Ruin), this feat adds your character level to SA damage. Requires a +6 BAB and 1d6 SA damage minimum, so you could get it with your 9th level feat. Staggering Strike (CWarrior), when you SA someone, they have to make a fort save vs your damage or be staggered (single action, similar to slowed). If you really wanted to go crazy you could take Sword of the Arcane Order and cast Wizard spells out of those Ranger slots but that's a bit far off of what you wanted (although this does open up a lot of similarly mundane-feeling spells that you could limit yourself to). So you could get your trap finding, Sneak Attacking skillmonkey on while still getting full BAB and powerful melee combat options functionally similar to your Warblade maneuvers.

Ranger spells from the Spell Compendium are pretty cool for melee characters, with stuff like Rhino's Rush, Lion's Charge, and Blade Storm, plus that one spell from PHII that gives you Sneak Attack - all being fairly natural, mundane-feeling abilities merely accessed through a spellcasting mechanic. The Mystic Ranger variant gives up the useless Ranger Animal Companion and slightly delays Favored Enemy and Weapon Style progression in exchange for spellcasting that starts early, gives more spells and progresses fast. If you're not set on those particular classes, a Ranger can use the Dungeonscape ACF to give up tracking for trapfinding and Disable Device in-class, has lots of skill points and is full BAB. This way, I'll have 5th level manuvers and evasion

My starting idea is to build a rogue 2/warblade 8 character. Also, humans get +1 to one ability score, and -1 to one ability score (can both be applied to the same score, for no net change.) I also get three cultural bonus feats (which I've chosen as Able Learner Heat Endurance and Second Wind ) 53,000 gp to spend (49,000 base, plus 4,000 bonus for the faction the character will belong to.) all basic classes get an additional 2 base skill points per level. I also want to be good at combat, even against uncritible things (like constructs and undead, specifically.)Ĭharacter is level 10.

The character has to be as skilled as possible at finding, disabling/bypassing and repairing traps. I'd like to build a multiclass rogue/warblade. Well, the wizard character I worked on so hard died in his first encounter and is unlikely to be raised due to intraparty factions.
