We'll know if he's allowing flows at character creation.
I'm going to use the savage progression from the web enhancement:
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sp/20040117aThe current party setup we have 2 or 3 unknowns, and a gnome god wizard who will be holding onto my back buffing me and slinging spells aka enlarge person
.
There's a few concerns I have, mainly how to make my attacks magical and able to bypass DR, and which PrC to take.
I'm going to be taking Werewolf lord, and then either warshaper or Black Blood Hunter. At least Black Blood Hunter 1 for the ability to equip wild items.
Feats, not sure what to take. Power Attack, maybe a charger build or something, take Lion totem barbarian for pounce.
Here's an optimization dilemma, I personally prefer werewolves to weretigers, weretigers to me seem like the broke man's rakshasa. Weretiger's get pounce and rake and Black Blood Hunters improved hybrid form allows that to happen while your shifted. Which should I take?
My current order I think will be:
Werewolf2/Direwolf2/Direwolf+6/Warshaper2/BBH1/Warshaper+3/BBH+6
Black Blood Hunter seems a little lackluster, using Savage Species quick change combined with Warshaper 5 emulates the lv9BBH ability. Warshaper gives STR/CON +4, reach, immunity to crits, increased natural attack damage die, a lot of attractive options.
I'm trying to figure out combat strategies as well, I'm thinking go wolf form, bite the shit out of people tripping them combine with imp trip to bite again. Or go hybrid with claws or a greatsword and slash people to bits. I was once told 2claws +bite was stronger than a greatsword+bite, it doesn't seem that way considering you can enchant the great sword. Are there any items that allow you to enchant natural attacks other than the amulet of might fists? I think there were some kind of monk wraps that could maybe work in some book.
