[OOC] Secret War

Yeah, we ended up getting an interesting set of stat rolls lol...

In addition to copying all your guys' information on paper, I'm thinking of starting a rogue's gallery thread for the game's character info. I'll bring that up when we got our characters finished and got game rollin' of course.

The Digger - if you're unsure of a second language to pick, just go with Chondathan, since that's the local language.

Sunuvagun, you're right!! That's what I get for going from memory. The adjustments have been made, thanks, WD!

Haha, yeah I've still got some habits that want to die hard as well. I still catch myself including the racial negatives to ability scores.

Digger: That works, and thank you.

Lickspit actually works well disadvantaged of course. It's just one more thing for him to be bitter about.

Yeah, I like Morrim's low Dex, it is part of the reason he tripped and fell down that big hole , and why they had him guard the back door during the attack, you can't have some clumsy dwarf getting in the way.

Sorry to everyone for me playing the one CHA ditching dwarf.

But I think this will reflect his elte aptitute and his feel of mental superiority. At least he works against this character traits (has learned the 'diplomacy' skill).

Bah, no need to apologize WD, I need to have a decent CHA (or at least that's what the PHB tells me ), but Wizards don't need no stinking charisma.

Hi Redclaw
I spent a lot of time working on a protecting paladin for another game (which seems to have stalled completely even before we got started) and I wonder if you really need both high Str and Cha. A paladin needs to be able to take a lot of punishment and he can use Cha almost exclusively for damage.

Have you considered the following

Str 12
Con 16+2 = 18 (think of the HP and Surges!)
Dex 7
Int 11
Wis 14+2 = 16
Cha 17

for a proper defensive build you should probably reverse Int and Dex but that is sort of min-maxing and personally I love the idea of a clumsy paladin.

I've never really looked at higher level builds but loads of people go on about 'Hammer Rhythm' which needs High Con. And Dwarves and hammers just go together!

I thought about lowering Str for Con, but there are a few big advantages. First of all, Hammer Rhythm requires both Str 15 and Con 17, so either build needs three points added to one of the stats, and Bludgeon Mastery requires Str 19, Con 19. I realize we'll never get to epic levels with these characters, but it's fun to plan ahead.

Secondly, Str is going to be important with any basic attacks Rangok makes, as well as allowing me to choose some of the other powers. I'm tempted by Martyr's Retribution at 5th level, for example. I'll definitely lean to the Cha powers, but it's nice to have a few options.

The Dex-Int switch makes a lot of sense. There a couple of Dex 13 feats that interest me (Astral Fire and Raging Storm), and Shield Specialization at the paragon level reuires a 15. On the other hand, I just can't see the low Int, but the clumsy hammer-swinger is kind of fun.

But if Redclaw does that, Rangok won't be able to use any of the STR based powers... there are some decent ones.

Although 4 more hp & 2 more surges... & a +1 to Fort Def.

I'm hoping to make significant progress on my cleric build today after work.
