Take the quiz: "Which Random Irish Gaelic Phrase Are You? "
Is maith liom bananai
Is maith liom bananai - 'I like bananas.'You're laid-back and you enjoy the simple things in life. Some might say you're a little too laid-back. Just what is it you're smoking, anyway?
They _had_ a word for bananas?
I may enjoy the simple things in life (and I do like bananas) but the rest is horribly wrong.

Thinking about Thursdays. Armexis is about to hit 5th level, where fighters get dick all (followed by a flood @ 6th for a straight fighter). It's the ideal point to multiclass. There are no prestige classes I'm interested in that I make the pre-reqs for, and none of the PHB base classes seem appropriate at this point (I have in the past considered cleric and barbarian as potentials, but the party now has a cleric and there is no reason in-game and the stresses which were pushing towards barbarian have gone - more or less).
However, there is the new Swashbuckler base class in the Complete Warrior. Same HD, skill points, a very complimentary list of class skills, and a feat which admittedly Armexis wouldn't get much use out of on a regular basis but could come in useful in some circumstances. Then take that 5th level of fighter at character level 6 and FL 6th @ CL 7, spreading out those goodies. If I later come to another level where I'm looking at nothing shiney, another level of Swashbuckler for the skills. Etc.
I know the GM is cool with this. I'm unsure of my own motivations. Actually, no, I'm sure of my own motivations. I'm powergaming or twinking or cheesing, actively hunting for a way to power up my character even if it might not quite fit with the original concept. I'm not sure I'm comfortable doing that. Where is the line between "reasonable" and "abuse" of this concept?
The Swashbuckler is soooo close to just another level of Fighter that it barely makes a difference, especially since Armexis is a light-armour fighter anyway, but then it could wind up being a significant difference.
