Hoping someone can provide some starter tips for building a melee witch without using the scarred witch doctor or prehensile hair? I'd be willing to dip or multi class if necessary. Wondering if making him a skinwalker might help when he turns. Any thoughts?

So when critting while using bane, the 2d6 is static, but I get my (x4) multiptier on the +2, correct? Or do I get a x4 on the whole ball of wax? And what about using my destruction judgement? It's currently 3 additional damage... does that become 12 on a crit?

Thanks! I apparently just had back to back bad sessions because in last session I was hitting everything. As for my damage I guess that's all relative. I was hoping that with Bane and criting that I would be slicing the undead like a hot knife through butter - vanquishing them in one attack -...

I'm not totally sure I agree with that errata as Vital Striking during a Spring Attack is hardly game breaking. As for Cleave.... :hmm:

Appreciate the further explanation. Since I have an affinity for melee builds, my next character will likely be a fighter that dabbles in the Vital Strike tree. I'm getting ready to level to 8 now, and I'd hate to give up the extra attack, the 2nd judgement and extra spells to dip into fighter.

I keep reading about Vital Strike, but unless I'm very confused I'd be adding an additional 4 points of damage (on average) while losing my 2nd attack? Seems a bit hefty for the cost of a feat... or is the allure of Vital Strike just because it's a prereq. for other feats?

Thanks for the help! And I didn't realize that about the red text

Thanks for the help!

Upon reading the responses I realized I hadn't actually been adding half STR for using a two handed weapon. So I had only been using a +5 bonus, instead of the +7

So I'm in a Carrion Crown Campaign - book 3. My character is a human spellbreaker inquisitor (level 7) of Pharasma with the spellkiller inquisition We're only running with 3 characters so the GM has given us certain "extras" to help out (roll 5d6, reroll 1s and 2s, plus 4 traits (none are...

So I've used a LOT of Tinner's concepts... with the exception of using the Spellbreaker archtype, as well as nixing anything Taldan... my biggest questions are: what would my base damage be with a +1 Keen Mithral Scythe with a +5 STR modifier? while using power attack? plus bane? plus bane...

As a new player, I would recommend the wizard as you can easily gain experience using one with the Beginner Box. From then on out you can begin sculpting the wizard to whatever end you'd like. If you ever have a question, this forum is as knowledgeable as any and several here can help you build...

Very important stuff here. If you have some kobolds it's certainly possible they have some local "pets". Crocs and snakes work AMAZING... and if the party were a touch higher level, I might recommend a Dire Croc. Also, don't overlook the special abilities a monster might possess. Using the...

I'm beginning the 3rd book of Carrion Crown at level 7. There will only be 3 of us, so the GM has allowed us to roll 5d6, and reroll 1's and 2's, as well as pick 4 traits (none have to be campaign specific) That left me with: 18 18 18 17 16 13 before adding him my +2 human modifier or...

I'll be joining my game in a few days (starting book 3 of Carrion Crown as a level 7 character) GM has the following house rules as we'll be doing this with just 3 characters: roll 5d6 at char gen, dropping lowest 2, reroll 1's and 2's 4 traits (none of which have to be AP ones) at least 1/2...

Saw this very awesome thread which has provided me with a couple ideas.
