The bear bear bear bear warrior: Help please!
« on: August 16, 2011, 04:15:56 PM »
I've been looking to create a character for an upcoming campaign based around using every bear option I can get my hands on.  Mostly because bears are awesome, but also because they're not terrible in terms of game mechanics.  However, as I am not as literate in DnD as I would like to be, I really only know of the bear warrior and that druids can eventually wildshape into a bear.  Given that this will be a relatively low level campaign at the start (probably 4th or 5th level), I'm not sure where to begin.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone were to list other ways I can get more bear into this warrior!

Fistbear Bearfist might be a good place to start.

Edit:  There's also The Barbearian.

The DM giveth and the rogue taketh away.
I have a 5 in Charisma and Diplomacy is a cross-class skill.  Hopefully I don't piss off too many people.

There is also the Bearly Legal Grizzly Swarm
Am I the only one who's mind was broken when they realized the implication of the existence of the aberration bloodline.

There's the Primeval in Frostburn also.

You turn into a bear for minutes at a time. Polar bear qualifies on HD.

You get bonuses to 4 stats and penalties to 2 as you advance, and the bear form stats get better as you go up.

By level 20, you can have a Str pushing 80 easily.

Neanderthal Barb 8, Primeval 10, Warshaper2
str 20
+5 levels
+3 regression
+4 rage
+8 Animal Devotion
+6 enhancement
+5 inherent
+22 Polar Bear w Primal Form
+4 Warshaper 2

Str77 off the top of my head

A bear, there was! A bear! A bear! All black and brown and covered in hair!

Now just get yourself a platypus-bear and I'll be there.

I dare anyone to find a hole in that logic.

Damn, all of the above were my first thoughts, and of course I got beaten to them. In case it wasn't obvious before, bears are a bit of a thing on these boards...

"Oh come they said,"
"Oh come to the fair!"
"The fair? said he,
"But I'm a bear!"
"All black and brown,"
"And covered in hair!"

I fixed it for you.
Masterful haiku it's not.
Yet, this one is. Bears!
