IntroI've read
The Handbook.
I want to make my party glorious while still being able to be offensively useful pre-
polymorph.
Here's the situation: 32 point buy, starting at ECL1. Party mates are uncertain. All 3.5 material is OK pending DM approval. No Reserves of Strength feat, no Leadership, no (nearly) infinite loops.
