[Epic 20] Diablos Ex Machina

Help out a guy who thinks too much and confuses himself (or thinks too little)

Int mod = -2

21-2= 19

What I'm struggling with is the S, G, A, P, U rankings. I'm going to through my skills into Warcraft and Athletics. I'd like as high a rank as I could in Warcraft, secondary is Athletics.

For skill purposes, treat the Ogre HD as Fighter Levels, just with a different set of class skills. IE, just treat yourself as a 20th level fighter for figuring your total number of skill points.

Net is, you get 21+(int mod) skill points.

Just to get the hang of the system: Shouldn't that be 23 + Int ?

10 (Fighter) + 10 (level bonus 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20) +3 (Fighter 7,13,19)

I haven't gotten the hang of it yet, but skills are all I am missing. I have the feats and everything (I hope Complete Warrior is allowed) Oh, I'm missing Vitality Points too.

What I'm struggling with is the S, G, A, P, U rankings. I'm going to through my skills into Warcraft and Athletics. I'd like as high a rank as I could in Warcraft, secondary is Athletics.

I think the key is this chart:

[B]Skill Cost	Skill Rating[/B]
0 skill points	Untrained	
1 skill point	Poor
2 skill points	Average
3 skill points	Good
4 skill points	Supreme

You have 19 (or 21, if I am correct) skill "points". If you want to excel at Warcraft and Athletics, put 4 skill points into each to learn these two skills at level "Supreme" (which reduces your remaining to skill points to 11 (or 13) ).

According to this chart

[B]Skill Rating Bonuses[/B]
Level	Sprm	Good	Avrg	Poor 	Untrnd
1	+4	+3	+2	+1	+0
2	+5	+4	+3	+1	+0
3	+6	+5	+3	+2	+0
4	+7	+6	+4	+2	+1
5	+8	+6	+4	+3	+1
6	+9	+7	+5	+3	+1
7	+10	+8	+5	+3	+2
8	+11	+9	+6	+4	+2
9	+12	+9	+6	+4	+2
10	+13	+10	+7	+5	+3
11	+14	+11	+7	+5	+3
12	+15	+12	+8	+6	+3
13	+16	+12	+8	+6	+4
14	+17	+13	+9	+6	+4
15	+18	+14	+9	+7	+4
16	+19	+15	+10	+7	+5
17	+20	+15	+10	+8	+5
18	+21	+16	+11	+8	+5
19	+22	+17	+11	+9	+6
20	+23	+18	+12	+9	+6

you now have a +23 bonus in Warcraft and Athletics. (Skill level "supreme" (first column) and level 20.)


Does this help?

 

[OnlytheStrong]

Tons! Ty.

 

[Douane]

Stop the presses!!!


"At first level when characters are buying their skills they get a bonus to buying their class skills. Class skills get a free skill point added to them when bought."


So you don't have to spend 4 skill points for Warcraft and Athletics, but only three! (Both are class skills for fighters.=

Question!

If I take Adamantine Body, and the feat that lets me cast without spell fail in heavy armor, how does that interact with:

A) Armor as DR. Adamantine armor already gives DR...

B) DR from feats and/or class abilities.

Also!

Do you allow Magic Item Compendium or Spell Compendium as sources?

 

[OnlytheStrong]

This is what I have so far. I was curious as to if there is a limit as to how much money we can spend on any one item and what books we can use. I used the Complete Warrior book to grab some feats. When I post the actual character I will include the page numbers and descriptions of the non-core feats.


[sblock=Ogre (working on the name still)]

Str: 16 +10 racial +4 level adjustment = 30 +10 mod
Dex: 12 -2 racial = 10 +0 mod
Con: 16 +4 racial = 20 +5 mod
Int: 10 - 4 racial = 6 -2 mod
Wis: 12
Cha: 10 - 4 racial = 6 -2 mod

Feats: 16 (9 fighter bonus + 2 racial + 5 levels)
Cleave
Greater Cleave
Quick Draw

After some deliberation I've come up with:

Half-Dragon (Red) Scout 8/Fighter 4/Tempest 5

We're a group of monsters! Just keep your breath weapon away from me. Okay, I'm new to playing anything this high of level, so please, forgive my idiot questions. A suit of +10 Full Plate Armor would cost 388,300gp? I am waiting for the offical rulings before I buy anything, but I was just curious. I figure armor-wise I will need alittle help with spell resistance.

I can't decide between one handed and two handed weapons lol. Good thing we have alittle bit of time to decide these tough choices.
