I need to come up with a character for next weeks game, and am looking for some advice on how to build him.
I started out with a concept, and I'm trying to make sure this one has a bit of a survival chance.
...
By that, I mean I want to create a fighter type with little to no armor, and whose main weapons are the Scythe and the Sickle. (and maybe other farm implements? like pitchfork or something?)
personality:shy and non-threatening but able to stand his ground in a fight.
For classes, I want to go for little or no spellcasting, I'm thinking Barbarian (for the rage), Fighter (for the feats) or possibly even Hexblade or something like that.
...
hmm, I don't think I could do a shy, non threatening barbarian...
but, if you wanted a light armor, in your face, spit on you when you are dead barbarian, I would go with the following :
DWARF BARBARIAN !!!
10th level character so 2 ability score bumps gives you:
if you are 12th, put the last one on strength
Abilities: 15/13/22/13/13/11
Classes:
Barbarian 4, Fighter 4, Deepwarden 2
Feats: Endurance, Power Attack, Cleave, Improved Critical, Wep Focus, Wep Spec. and Reckless Rage
Skills: Deepwarden requires a lot, but easy to do with a 13 int
ac with no armor or buffs: 16
get a friendly mage to cast greater mage armor on you to bump to 22
average hp without raging, or buffs: 131
My friend Keith played a dwarf bezerker who never wore armor, and this is similar to his build, it was a very fun character to game with, and as you can see, the build doesn't suck from a combat standpoint, especially in a low magic world.
Hope this helps,
Athos
