Maybe a Warrior can?

[Heoki]

I want to make a really strong fighter with some small offensive and a little bit of defensive magic on the side. But I want mostly all defense and power. I would only like to have the ability to use a few healing or attacking spells every now and then. Anyone have any good ideas on how to go abotu makign a character like this?

Hume War using 1H Sword and a shield and when he gets some of the nice abilities you like, change over to RedM. RedM has most the things your talking about. They can do most every thing, but nothing the best. They can fight with good 1H Swords, use shields, nice armor, casts some of both W and B magic and by you using 1H Sword from the beginning it's Lev will be nice, Subing War will bring the RedM's HPs, Str, Vit, Dex and Agil. The only bad thing about Subing War is that their Int and Mind will not be real strong and being Hume will keeps these balanced(one won't be real strong over the other).

Just remember, RedM arn't the best at anything, but can do most everything. Subing War will just help u in Melee. You can try Subing other things for the RedM if u like to help other things but it kind of sounded like you wanted to do good in melee.
Hope I helped u out ^__^.

PS: Look around the site, there should be lots of info about races and jobs to choise from. See u around

Defense + Healing = Paladin

Warrior to Paladin seems to be your deal.
