Another thought, Do you lose your dex when cowering? If so, Expert Tactician would rock - probably replace Weapon Focus with it.

I had forgotten that Power Attack is a prerequisite for Resounding Blow and Quell the Profane. So I have to have it :). I am fairly certain the DM will not mind the 3.0 version of keen stacking with I.C. (the whole non-stacking is just assanine anyway - it was only an issue for bladed...

How do you best optimize the above two feats for a 9th level character? For getting the effects: Improved Critical/Keen Power Critical Weapon Focus Greater Weapon Focus For maximizing opportunity: Two Weapon Fighting Cleave Whirlwind Attack Hold the Line Combat Reflexes I am making a 9th...

I think build 3 is too powerful for the personality of 1. Part of the backstory on 1 is that the character has a walled up knot of fear that manifests in a bunch of subtle ways. Build 3 is a total freaking badass: with the stacking rules of 3.0 of keen and I.C., almost every other attack is...

So here are the three character ideas: 1. Elven Monk 5/Ranger 5 that focuses on getting as many attacks as possible to maximize the favored enemy damage w/ the feats: PBS, RS, I.F.E., W.Fin. following the TWF'ing combat style. Personality (Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan). 2. Dwarven Barb...

Single classed survivor If I wanted to make a super defensive character, what class should I take. I am thinking paladin KotC mix with a maxed out chr and con with a bunch of divine feats: divine vigor, divine shield, divine might, extra turning. Thoughts?

Take TWF'ing Solid, I would opt for TWF'ing instead of RS. You already have dex as a dump stat with your heavy armor and if you only use ranged weapons during the first round when enemies close, it is suboptimal to burn a feat in that direction. Take TWF'ing and dual wield your great sword...

Next character idea: Human DWS: Ranger 6, DWS 3 w/ WF, FS, PBS, RS, MS, Favored Critical, and (either rapid reload or EWP - repeating crossbow) wielding a crossbow (repeating). With a maxed out hide skill he can be sniping from around 200' away or so which would negate the -20 penalty to hide...

So what is the final breakdown? (To all other EN Worldians) I am also going to be involved in this game that Solid Snake is making a character for and I was thinking something along the lines of a Tom Hanks type character in Saving Private Ryan: someone with a background as a teacher of some...

If you are going to max out your chr definitely go with divine might and power attack. Divine might is just incredible for the damage boost. And if you go this route, you might want favored power attack to boost the power attack even further. A second thought is favored critical (acts as...

So they switched it from 3.0 then. I'd say stick with the censuring from DotF which functions like turning. You might want to pick up at least one level of ranger to get the favored enemy so you can get nemesis from BoED (automatic detection of favored enemy even through walls to 60' +1c6 dmg...

Solid Snake - What's the concept you are going after?

With so many of the abilities of the Hammer of Moradin tied to hammer throwing, I'd consider point blank shot. This won't net you the same gain as would zen archery in to hit bonuses but would open the door for rapid shot. If you combined this with melee attacks, this would give you an...

This feat is either broken or useless. If the feat considers you to have rolled an 8 it is broken because it makes maximize obsolete and makes empower go through the roof. if on the other hand you just treat several dice as maximized as per the metamagic feat, I already can do that with the...

I never mentioned him going insane :). Actually, he took it all in stride (although the other player in the game was poo-ing bricks). Like I said, it wasn't that he had a problem with it (except for post game to make sure the ruling was right), rather it was just a significant step up from...

I had just assumed that you could do one or the other. I guess I will have to reread the ability description. Of course, I already talked to my DM about it because he was thinking maximize was the most broken thing out there until I pointed out that actually the empower was more powerful...

I am almost thinking augment healing is the most important thing to possibly take especially because the empower healing would make the +2 effectively into a +3 (and I am always about the synergy). Looking over the analysis for the other feat choices (bravo by the way), I agree that quicken is...

Not a bad suggestion if I was overly concerned with taking that type of damage. However, it is not fire seeds specifically that I am afraid of - my DM does not trade :):):) for tat in that sense. Rather than being vindictive he merely says: "The kid gloves are off". :) As far as I am aware...

All right :). Enough of that. We are not designed to be super uber munchkins, we are not level 16 and this is in mechanics dominated by pre-BoED's and pre-CW. I suppose you are right though - but still, with one spell, 122 damage is nothing to snuff at. Actually, the real concern is that we...

Disciple of the Sun - unnecessary: already have the extension of the sun domain power to normal amount of turning attempts. Improved Turning? - is certainly in line with the character so far. However, he was designed with an initial hatred in his heart towards all undead and now has evolved...
