For the record, I made that full defense build, and I appreciate the information
But, I've found that there's something wrong with Freelancer specifically because Full BAB and all good saves is really cheap.
I have someone in my campaign, with Umbra, that mathed out their character to the point he has all good saves, full BAB, a d12 for health, red mage spells, an ability that allows them to bypass DR, and at level 11 took Jack of all Trades, so he doesn't have to spend points on skills. Just skill points. He also took something from Dark Knight that allows him to add his Charisma modifier (+4) to all of his saves. I can't kill him because of the healing magic and his saves.
Like, it's less the fact that it's an overpowered class, it's moreso that the customization is the problem. You can choose so many things that altogether will shove your foot in your dm's rear end. You can do far too much with the class and I think it needs to be altered some. Like, health and saves should only be able to be bought at first level, with health and BAB. You know?
