[QUOTE="Viandante, post: 5144390, member: 88225"] Meh, I also study in a university, and I'm first one to do that in a worker's family...every now and then, they tell me why I just don't stop and start working, as I'd be saving money for a long time now... I was thinking about not taking Daring Outlaw, but then I thought that not only a couple D6 are no laughing matter when added to all of your attacks, but I could also use the dodge bonus. I mean, a +3 dodge bonus independent from my Titan Fighting bonus which is also stackable means I can have +4 to AC vs an enemy and +3 AC vs another one, or choose to just get +7 to AC against the biggest one...which is a good amount of dodge bonus here! Meh, I think that maybe I should just stick to small weapons. I could just get rapiers (as soon as we get out of slavery and I can buy some weapons, of course) if I'm planning to do the Blade Bravo PrC at some point, as I have to take Weapon Focus (Rapiers) anyway. You are right about saying that my first dmage source are sneak attacks, I'm no real fighter. Yes, we can use all sourcebooks. But is spending two feats a good thing? I mean, two feats spent just so I could cast two spells (a cantrip and a level 1 spell) seems a bit too much for me...but maybe I don't see the bigger picture. And no, my DM likes to keep golems / undeads immune to criticals and sneak attacks, so I still need special weapons / spells to overcome this. My master hates everything out of context, and he'd never allow us to use oriental weapons. I was thinking about just getting the proficiency and telling him about the errata. While I'd really like to go all Chuck Norris with criticals / Telling Blow on all of the enemies' ass, I don't like being the source of a broken game. Maybe I won't bring up the errata but I won't pursue the Improved Critical way. I fear I don't have the book, and neither do any of my friends. We are evil characters. Another quick question: I rolled these stats 18 16 16 14 14 12 Whisper Gnome has +2 to Dex and Con, -2 to Str and Cha. So I put the 18 in Dex, 16 in Str, the other 16 in Int, 14 in Cha, 14 in Cos and 12 in Wis ending up with this: 14 Strenght 20 Dexterity 16 Constitution 16 Intelligence 12 Wisdom 12 Charisma My only doubt is: should I swap Strenght for Constitution? I mean, with Weapon Finesse I took care of hit rolls and I rely on sneak attacks for damage anyway, and a +1 on damage on every attack just isn't that great, while a +1 on fort saves and a +1hp per level seems like the best thing. Let me know, I'm going out but I'll be back soon! [/QUOTE]
