Is it too late to suggest Cavalier 1/Bard 5/Battle Herald 1/Low Templar 1/Battle Herald 9/Bard X, with feat choices of Nature Soul, Squire, Animal Ally, Imperial Knight, Leadership?
Cavalier is a Prestige Class in 3.5. I'm not sure of any way to get a +8 BAB without any class levels but I'd love to hear that exploit. :P

Rip.  Sorry, I've been playing too much Pathfinder, immediately changed the words in the thread title.  Just ignore me.

I mixed it up with Kinght for some reason, so it's also my fault. I'm beginning to think it would have been better if I had asked some sorts of vague questions and made the character myself based on the most voted answers... Which is an option that I'm tempted to take.

I think that it's a good idea, or else, we'll be stuck arguing about what to play for weeks.

Yes, I think I'm doing that.

EDIT: Edited with several questions. Feel free to answer them (as if you were the character, obviously) and/or vote other people's answers. Most voted set of answers will be the character.

I personally will vote for a full-caster (with preparation preferred), simply because they have so many toys to play with, and Bay Twelve loves abusing toys (plus, they can decide that one day they'll walk around as a T-Rex, and the next, they'll create their own private demi-plane, then decide that they'll go bind an Elder Evil (A.K.A. horrors that even the gods fear) to their will, then the next day do all of that in one day, because they can).

Eventually, Bay Twelve will tire of typing "I hit the thing with my sword". Full-Casters bring variety.

*slow clap* Well ATHATH congratulations. You managed to give the MC a mental breakdown before we even finished the first arc.

Besides, if you insist on being a gish, Eldritch Knight is not how you go about it. Be a Cleric and Persist Divine Power and a bunch of other combat buffs. Bam, you're now a better fighter than the Fighter and still have spell slots left over to do something constructive or annihilate enemies so hard that they can't be raised from the dead with mortal magic with. Dip a ToB class if you want even more combat abilities.

That, sir, is rollplaying, not roleplaying. I trust you know the difference.

They're not mutually exclusive.

They often are.

Anyway, as I said, now the character will be made by answering the questions I left on the first post. It's something I'm far more comfortable with, and it is something that will make people who know less about D&D participate more.

Uhmm... Bump?

Well. I guess there's very little interest in a game like this :/

+1.  Not sure about the plot twist, though.
