Hey! Have you ever heard of a LF zon with no passives?

Sam has always had and always will have one point in
Leap (pre-req)
Leap Attack (needed for getting the hell our of tight areas)
Bash (pre-req)
Stun (pre-req0
Concentrate (always on except in Chaos Sanctuary - synergized by BO)
Berzerk (need for PIs and OKs - This synergized by siomething)
Iron Skin (pre-req, but not taken until it is obvious that Nat Res is
needed)
Natural Resistance (More important for HC, sometimes more pts needed
depending on skill plusses)

War Cries are:
shout - 20
BO - 20
War Cry -20
Battle Cry - 1 hit wonder (needed for bosses and Champs and super
uniques)
Battle Command - 1 hit wonder, can rescream to keep in effect
Taunt - had 9 points, probably could have used less
Howl - one hit wonder (with plusses kept the crowds running for plenty
of time)
Find potion - pre-req
Find Item - 1 hit wonder (level 15 on weapon switch with Bcomm, good
enough)

This actaully leaves some freebies but can't remember what I mapped
out.

Sam has to fight, sometimes not only out of desire but out of
neccesity.

With a nice party he just ran and jumped around and War Cried and
stuned for 6 plus secs at a clip while others wasted the beasts. Then
if corpse leftover after vine, necros, etc, he coughed up some items
when possible.

Prefers a weapon with crushing blow.
Used a 3 Pdiam Scutum

Sam did not have a spirit shield but planned on one when he got the
vipermagi from bongo. This would have had him screaming some severly
high notes.

I hope I am able to get his latest incarnation up to where the now NL
version is.
