[QUOTE="Greenfeuer, post: 6804270, member: 6775193"] Hello there people, I am making a Halfling Spell-less Ranger. We are converting our characters from Pathfinder, a formerly Warhammer second edition. So there is som lore / reason to choose what I choose, for bonus racials + other abilties. [URL]http://www.adnd3egame.com/documents/ranger%20variant.pdf[/URL] - Link I like to have comments on my build and suggestions, aswell on the few mods that are made. If they are bad good or in balanced or well balanced. My background story will be Folk Hero but my GM agreed to let me drop animal handling for somthing else, since I won't be using it alot. Hardly use the rideing pony my halfling has for anything but short trips or carrying stuff, he prefer to go by foot. The skills will be: Acrobatics and Survival. I will be level 8. My proficent skills will be: Perception, Stealth, Atheltics. - Acrobatics and Survival from story! My stats will be as following: 12 Str 16 Dex 14 Con 10 int 14 Wisdom 10 Cha I my get less Wisdom for more 12 Cha, because my character is quite social. I tend to carry / have alot of gear, for hunting trolls and such on this character +1 strenght score is quite need to have :) Feats: Lucky, Sharpshooter. I will trade a few things for more racial to fit the Warhammer lore since we play in that world. [B]Heavy armor for: Halfling Weapon Training:[/B][COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana] When you attack with a dagger, a short sword, or a sling with which you have proficiency, the damage die for that weapon increases by one step: from d4 to d6, or d6 to d8. [/FONT][/COLOR][B]Medium armor for: Magic Resistance or Gnome "Halfling" cunning.[/B] [B]All shields beside buckler for: Night Vision. [/B] I am going ranged so I naturally choose Archery, but I will be using a Sling :) I got a got problem with the following class ability - [B]SCOUT’S INSTINCTS: [/B]At 3rd level, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make with any two of the following skills:Investigation, Nature, Perception, Stealth, and Survival. At 10th level you can choose another two skill proficiencies togain this benefit. The problem is, I run out of skills to choose, since it seemse to double the proficiency, and I don't got that with Nature or Investigation, which leaves the question. Wil I be allowed to chose another then? Do I simply get proficency in the skill I choose, that I normally didn't? - As it is, I am forced to drop one of the skills, to take nature or investigation. Another one is I am going to trade following ability for a feat. Or is it worth more? [B]CALL NATURAL ALLIES Starting[/B] at 13th level, when you are in an area of your favoredterrain, you can call natural creatures from that terrain to fight on your behalf, using your attunement to the natural world to convince them to aid you. The DM chooses beasts appropriate to the terrain to come to your aid from amongthose that could hear you and that are within 1 mile of you,in one of the following groups:• One beast of challenge rating 3 or lower• Three beasts of challenge rating 1 or lower• Six beasts of challenge rating 1/2 or lower• Twelve beasts of challenge rating 1/4 or lower. Because it simply don't fit my character. Going to mod my Herbalist kit into a Halfling Cooking kit which is a mixture of that and Cooking. - Since apperently Halfling cooking as healing propperties in Warhammer. - This changes nothing in the rules but more my characters approach for RP flavor. With that said, looking forward to all of you guys feedback! :D I am thinking of which ability to choose for archtypes abilties too. [B]HUNTER’S PREYAt 3rd level, you gain one of the following features of yourchoice:[/B] [B]• Giant Killer:[/B] When a Large or larger creature within 5 feet of you hits or misses you with an attack, you canuse your reaction to attack that creature immediately after its attack, provided that you can see the creature. In addition, when fighting Large or larger creatures you may Dodge as a bonus action. [B] • Horde Breaker:[/B] Once on each of your turns when youmake a weapon attack, you can make another attack with the same weapon against a different creature thatis within 5 feet of the original target and within range of your weapon. In addition, when within 5 feet of two or more foes, you may Help an ally as a bonus action. [B] • Relentless Harrier:[/B] Your tenacity can wear down themost potent foes. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, the creature takes an extra 2d4 damage if it’s below its hit point maximum. You can deal this extra damage only once per turn. At 7th, 11th, and 15th levels, you gain an additional d4 ofdamage, to a maximum of 5d4 at levels 15 and higher. [/QUOTE]
