I'm a big fan of the Bounty Hunter Durge from the Clone Wars in Star Wars. I'm trying to come up with a build for him in D&D, and I rthink I have come close but I'm always looking for help. I'm trying to keep the initial LA low so that I can have as many class levels as possible. Here is what I have. I started with Human(LA+0) as my base race b/c of the extra feat and skills and them applied the Artic Racial Variant Template(LA+0) from Dragon #306 to get a boost to my Con score. From there I added the Half Zombie Template(LA+1) from Dragon #313(My Favorite Issue of All Time) to get a boost to strength as well as immunuties to fear, confusion, and energy drain; and thats not mentioning the bonus feats of endurance, diehard, and most importantly toughness (you'll see why toughness in important in a second). Finally, I added the Feral Creature Template(LA+1) from Savage Species, which gave me a nice boost to Str, Con, Natural Armor, Movement, Dark Vision and yes Fast Healing which is very important to being Durge like. Now for the Feats, and this is where it gets fun ;D. I took the regional feat Troll Blooded from Dragon #319 which gave Durge Regeneration 1,(Toughness was a prereq and Half Zombie gave me that feat!)but also fatigues him; so with my human bonus/extra feat I took the ancestor feat Tireless from Dragon #318 which grants me an immunity to fatigue. Durge now has hefty Str and Con scores and the ability to Regenerate and Fast Heal (which we know work together thanks to the sidebar in Dragon #307) all for two levels. Throw in the Earth Sense Feat from Races of Stone to give Durge that "sixth sense" he seemed to have during the battle on the Gungan Moon, and multiclass Fighter and Barbarian and you have one hell of a Regenerating/Fast Healing Beast at high lvls (remember at 12 lvl you will have Fast Healing 5 from Feral Creature Template) all for a +2LA. I am always looking to improve the build so if anyone has any suggestions please help. I don't think Feral Creature quite Captures the feel of Durge but it has dynamite fast healing which is a must for a Durge character. The only Alternatives were the Shadow Creature Template(LA+2) that has Fast Healing 2, and the Half-Troll(LA+4) that has fast healing 5. I think Goliath could be a cool base Race b/c of the powerful build, but I couldn't tinker it to be just right. Please give me your ideas and feedback everyone(and may the force be with us).
