Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gorgoroth" data-source="post: 5735281" data-attributes="member: 6674889">thanks for the input!I like the beast totem stuff because I can't be disarmed and having it already would have saved a lot of grief when I didn't have access to my greataxe while in town (during a goblin attack no less). We had to check our weapons a the gates.The second level of oracle was at 16, when it negates speed penalty in heavy armor. I didn't remember the mithral full place counts as medium anyway, but regardless of that, my speed is still reduced by 10 by wearing medium armor, is it not? So by taking lame oracle 2, at level 18, I would get 10 speed back from the medium armor speed penalty, right? And the Bab is +1 at that levelI'm curious, why does Less Beast totem suck? I can still use a Greatsword and use the offhand claw for another attack, can't I? Might have to grab Quickdraw to shift your hand around, but I'm not sure how the rules work for this totem power. It says you gain two claw attacks at your full Bab while raging. Do you need to have both hands free in order to use the second claw attack? Even still, charge in with greatsword, chop, drop, claw. Saves a feat, but costs in amulets of mighty striking. Benefits such as Elemental Rage and so on are good. At level 10 with greater beast totem, the damage with your claws is equivalent to a doubleaxe with greater weapon focus, two weapon fighting, and double slice. That's 5 feats saved. Not too bad! Even better, with your pounce full attack, you avoid -2 on all your subsequent iterative attacks with your greatsword too. Also, with improved natural attack and greater beast totem, the damage with your claws is the same as a greatsword, but with an extra attack. Not bad!I like claw attacks ala wolverine as a backup weapon in case I'm in jail or lose my weapon or it gets broken during combat, but also to avoid the TWF feat tree.Reason I took Improved Sunder was so I could debuff enemy AC or damage during my first charge. I can fix the broken items after combat with a Mending spell, can't I? Granted, we're almost level 3 and I haven't used sunder once, so I am kind of coming over to this. BUT, when fighting that big bad d00d, sundering his wand or his armor, esp with Spell Sunder and the superstition / witch hunter powers I plan on taking to become a nuisance to magic users.Now my main question is whether Metal oracle mystery at level 9 or weapon focus in claws with Battle. I'm leaning towards Metal for the speed, which is great with pounce.</blockquote>
