The Dragon Knight (Fighter 14 / Bard 6 / RDD 20)

[Orion]

A dragon knight build idea, focused on the RDD class with:

• 38 Str (potentially 50 Str), 46 mundane AB
• Taunt to lower enemy AC further by up to -6
• Great saves especially against spells (ie 38 will save again spells without items)
• +6 AC from RDD 20, +8 AC from Tumble 40, +2 AC from armor skin, +5-10 AC from expertise or improved expertise
• 289 skill points for whatever Bard / RDD skills you like (8 ranks in lore is required for RDD)
• Improved Disarm for up to +8 extra AB against tiny weapon wielders

Dev crit can be put into the build by putting Power Attack/Cleave/Great Cleave/Overwhelming Crit/Devastating Critical and dropping some of the save feats.
