And no, I am not min-maxing. I am playing an interesting character. If I was min-maxing, I'd go for a dhampier or an elf or something. Get that weapon finess. But Brugar is not about finess, he's about sneaking up behind someone and goudging out a chunk of their backside with his greataxe.

If I didn't need INT 13 for a few feats down the line (combat expertise and Gang Up - may spend my combat trick @ level 2 so I can get Gang Up by level 3), I'd have boosted STR with that 15. Still, he gets to be smarter than the average orc.

Looks good to me. Suffers from low hit points, but with your strength and sneak attack, most enemies at your level will be dropping like flies. Your stats are all-around quite good, aside from low Con. I think the flavor is nice, and flavor is ultimately more rewarding than min-maxing in my experience as a player and a GM.

Can't wait to hear how your first session goes!

So what's his personality like?

 

[Glade Riven]

He's a backstabbing S.O.B. who is irritated at this team mates for wanting to go out and about in broad daylight. Brugar also likes to be underestimated, so he plays up the "big dumb orc" routine and then surprises people by doing something unexpectedly smart - like advanced mathematics. He also likes to gross people out by eating...things...that nobody else would touch.
