GAH
Most common and my least favorite misspelling in DnD.
I got Wizard, but I never have gone for any character class without some semblance of casting.
Closest to a noncaster was a 3.5 Cavalier/Paladin character who specialized in 1-hit KOs.
For funsies I took him up to level 30 to see if I could build him well enough to defeat a CR 50ish demigod dragon.
Answer: Yeah, pretty much. Dire Charge in on a hasted dragon from a quarter mile away, make 5 attacks at 5x damage with full power attack... instant kill, 1 round.
I used to have little 1v1 character matches with my friend where we'd build 3.5 characters to fight each other. One time he built an instant kill Fatespinner wizard. But he wasn't expecting my Cavalier charge at 4x speed and 5x damage. So I won that one.
Another time he built up a multi-attacking Monk, who ended up with something like 20 attacks per round. I built a Swordmage/Abjurant Champion/Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil. Spells>>>>>>attacks. He did manage to make it through my disintegration field. He didn't make it through my contingency acid barrier and Greater Luminous Armor.
My 4e character is a Longtooth Shifter Paladin, designed to be a mix of tank and damage. I think he's pretty respectable. I think he's right around lvl 13 now, but I haven't played in a while.
My 3.5 characters are a Dragonborn Lesser Aasimar Cloistered Cleric of Tyr, who exploited the hell out of the Knowledge Devotion feat. But he died from an Ice Storm from a Lich when he was level 4 (WTF DM? A Lich? And why doesn't Ice Storm have a save anyways?)
My current one is a super-summoner druid, with like 5 summoning bonuses, which makes the critters SUPER powerful. You don't want to mess with a half-plant crocodile with ice teeth. Definitely not 3 of them.
