I'd love to see others' builds and ideas, so feel free to post 'em!"IGNITER" PYRO BUILDThe first suggested build is the Igniter pyro. The Igniter build focuses on maximizing the pyro's mainstay power, the ability to potentially ignite opponents, and two-weapon fighting. More often than not, this is going to be the standard build for most pyro characters or NPCs.Race: Human, for bonus feat to kick start TWF, stat boost and extra skill points.Starting Stats:(15pt standard point buy)STR 14, DEX 17, CON 12, INT 11, WIS 10, CHA 10.Basic starting gear: studded leather, shortsword (piercing), handaxe (slashing), (12) torches (bludgeoning + fire and possible igniting), (2) alchemist’s fire, light crossbow, 20 bolts...................................................................SkillsAll pyros have a fair number of skill points to play with. The most important for the igniter are:       <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Craft (Alchemy) for alchemist's fire and all the other handy alchemy items.
