[QUOTE="Scratched_back, post: 2144792, member: 16262"] Hi all, Briefly, I need to know if my character is judged (by you) to be overly powerful for a low level character. I understand that "powerful" is only relative to the individual game, but I'm worried that I've inadvertantly designed a character that forces my GM to overpower encounters and make other PCs in the party feel ridiculed. Take a look and see what you think. Kerith - Sun Elf: 9th Level (1st Fighter/5th Wizard/3rd EldritchKnight) BAB: +6/+1 Caster Level: 7th Hitpoints: 65 AC: 15 STR: 18 DEX: 14 CON: 14 INT: 16 WIS: 14 CHA: 10 Feats: Weapon Focus: Greatsword, Power Attack, Cleave, Skill Focus: Concentration, Arcane Strike (by far my best feat, from complete warrior), Improved Toughness, Practised Spellcaster. Weapon: +2 Keen Greatsword - Ability to store one 3rd level or lower "touch range" spell per day and release it as a free action. Typically in my case, a Vampyric Touch. Armour: +3 Bracers of Armour. Attacks: +13/+8 at 2d6 + 8 (Note, much more often than not, in a combat situation, I have haste cast upon myself for an extra attack, and frequently "sacrifice spells" to arcane strike for massive bonuses to hit and damage. When attacking three times per round, using a 3rd level spell for +3 to hit and +3d4 damage becomes awesome. Also, couple with this that I threaten on 17+, I just seem to dish out a LOT more damage than our party's fighters, and do it consistently.) To sum things up, I consistently do more damage than the fighters in the party, I can cast spells as if a 9th level mage, I have 65 hitpoints due to Improved Toughness so I'm not made of tissue paper like most mages (I also legitimately rolled maximum on ever single hit die, with my GM and entire party as witness, which helps!) and if ever in need of healing, I typically vampyric touch and move/fly away! Please get back to me and tell me if this is a freak of D&D because it's getting to the point where I feel bad for showing up the other characters at points, and this isn't a way to brag, this is concerning if I'm taking the fun out of the game for anyone! Cheers all. [/QUOTE]
