[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5560721, member: 16069"] The difficulty for me is to reset my brain to a PHB only world- From top to bottom, Pelor choice- cool looking forward to it, just to say the Dwarves now have a number of gods in the DDI. Brainfart for additional +10, no probs. I take it you're not messing with your base Stats- no probs. Feats and Weapons, again the problem is reseting to PHB only, WOTC themselves realised there was aproblem with To Hits for some PC builds and introduced Weapon Expertise which gave an extra +1 To Hit (per tier, so +2 at 11th Level etc.), so if you want this... then take it in Axes and use Battleaxe (+5 To Hit with Str, +6 with Cha) & Throwing Axes (+5 to hit, and they add on the Str bonus to the damage 1d6+2)- that at least puts both up +1. You could as an alternative go for a Longsword with Javelins for missile weapons (both Heavy Blades) which taken with Weapon Expertise Heavy Blades would be +6 To Hit with Str and +7 with Cha for the Longsword, and +5 with Javelins (again 1d6+2 damage). The other thing is I'd like to give you the option of some better armour, say a suit of PLatemail that has been passed down your family, and a Heavy Shield if you'll take them- That would increase your AC which is going to be the thing that takes a beating- Base (10) + Plate (+8) + Heavy Shield (+2) = 20. That would make you -4 on some of your Skill Checks, none of your trained ones however. It would also put your Reflex up to 13. Again the choices are entirely yours, if I've missed anything then please anyone else in game add your info. Cheers Goonalan [/QUOTE]
