{{GitP|10762}}The '''Dreadnaught''' class is a warrior separate from both the fighter and the barbarian. Where the fighter enters combat with style and tactics and the barbarian enters in fury, the dreadnaught wades in swinging, soaking blows and fearing little. '''Abilities:''' Constitution is your prime statistic, boosting your already immense amount of hit points. Strength will help you end combats quicker, and Dexterity will help you dodge and give you access to feats that may make your life easier. Probably least important is Charisma: nobody likes a brawler. '''Races:''' Dwarves and half-orcs are the most common among dreadnaughts, though there are some human and half-elven ones. Perhaps the most rare are elven and halfing dreadnaughts, though they are certainly not unheard of. '''Alignment:''' Dreadnaughts, though they can be of any alignment, tend towards chaos. '''Hit Die:''' d12 '''Starting Gold''': 3d4x10 gp. '''Starting Age''': As fighter (PH 109). ==Class Features== '''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Dreadnaughts are proficient with all simple and martial weapons. They are also proficient with all kinds of armor and all shields. '''Class Skills''' (2 + Int modifier per level, x4 at 1st level): Climb, Craft, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Jump, Ride '''Power Attack''': At 1st level, the dreadnaught gains the use of the Power Attack feat. '''Cleave''': At 2nd level, the dreadnaught gains the Cleave feat. '''Rugged''': At 3rd level, the dreadnaught gains +3 hit points. This ability increases by three points every three levels (+6 hit points at 6th level, +9 points at 9th level, etc., up to +18 at 18th level) '''Endurance''': At 5th level, the dreadnaught gains the Endurance feat. '''Great Cleave''': At 6th level, the dreadnaught gains the Great Cleave feat. '''Damage Reduction''': At 7th level, the dreadnaught gains Damage Reduction 1/-. Every four levels thereafter (11th, 15th, and 19th), the dreadnaught's damage reduction increases by one. '''Diehard''': At 10th level, the dreadnaught gains the Diehard feat. '''Supreme Toughness''': Starting at 14th level, if the dreadnaught makes a successful Fortitude saving throw against an attack or effect which normally deals half damage or only has a partial effect on a successful save, he instead takes no damage and is not affected by the spell. '''Supreme Cleave''': At 20th level, the dreadnaught may take a five-foot step before attempting a cleave. ====Religion==== Most dreadnaughts worship Kord, Heironeous, or St. Cuthbert. Evil aligned dreadnaughts (of which there are a few) worship Nerull almost as a whole. ====Other Classes==== Barbarians and fighters get along with dreadnaughts the best, while wizards, clerics, and sorcerors tend to not deal with dreadnaughts. Rogues and rangers find them lacking in finesse, but bards like them as they make good stories. ====Combat==== Wade in, swing away, and draw fire off of your compatriots. You can take the abuse. ==Dreadnaught Progression== {|border=1px !Level !!Base Attack Bonus !!Fort Save !!Ref Save !!Will Save !!Special |- |'''1st''' || +1 || +2 || +0 || +0 || Power Attack |- |'''2nd''' || +2 || +3 || +0 || +0 || Cleave |- |'''3rd''' || +3 || +3 || +1 || +1 || Rugged +3 |- |'''4th''' || +4 || +4 || +1 || +1 || - |- |'''5th''' || +5 || +4 || +1 || +1 || Endurance |- |'''6th''' || +6/+1 || +5 || +2 || +2 || Great Cleave, Rugged +6 |- |'''7th''' || +7/+2 || +5 || +2 || +2 || Damage Reduction 1/- |- |'''8th''' || +8/+3 || +6 || +2 || +2 || - |- |'''9th''' || +9/+4 || +6 || +3 || +3 || Rugged +9 |- |'''10th''' || +10/+5 || +7 || +3 || +3 || Diehard |- |'''11th''' || +11/+6/+1 || +7 || +3 || +3 || Damage Reduction 2/- |- |'''12th''' || +12/+7/+2 || +8 || +4 || +4 || Rugged +12 |- |'''13th''' || +13/+8/+3 || +8 || +4 || +4 || - |- |'''14th''' || +14/+9/+4 || +9 || +4 || +4 || Supreme Toughness |- |'''15th''' || +15/+10/+5 || +9 || +5 || +5 || Damage Reduction 3/-, Rugged +15 |- |'''16th''' || +16/+11/+6/+1 || +10 || +5 || +5 || - |- |'''17th''' || +17/+12/+7/+2 || +10 || +5 || +5 || - |- |'''18th''' || +18/+13/+8/+3 || +11 || +6 || +6 || Rugged +18 |- |'''19th''' || +19/+14/+9/+4 || +11 || +6 || +6 || Damage Reduction 4/- |- |'''20th''' || +20/+15/+10/+5 || +12 || +6 || +6 || Supreme Cleave |} [http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=gaming;action=display;num=1151451042;start=0#0 Reference] [[category:Marranarch]][[category:Red Under Blue]][[category:Player Character Classes]][[category:Fax Encyclopedicus]]
