Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

Everburning Torch would be a nice use of 110 gp. Alchemist's Fire?


Power Attack goes without saying. Perfect choice. Cleave I am not sold on, though...

 

[hafrogman]

Normally a good feat, but the Adventure Paths do tend to focus on large single combats over lots of little ones.

Still a lot of good choices out there.

Iron will (10 wisdom + Barbarian = the rest of us get hurt )
Weapon Focus (Now with 5% more accuracy)
Improved Toughness (Not so great now, but a consideration for the future)

Normally a good feat, but the Adventure Paths do tend to focus on large single combats over lots of little ones.

I can think of at least 3 encounters in the pirate tunnels where Cleave wouldn't have gone astray....

But yeah, Power Attack is a must.

 

[covaithe]

I could certainly be talked out of Cleave. If we have reason to expect small numbers of difficult-to-hit enemies, weapon focus seems promising. If you think will saves are likely to be a problem, what would you think of con 14 wis 14 rather than con 16 wis 10? Or even con 14 dex 14 wis 12?

Hey all,

Busy patch these last few days...I'll get a new post up tomorrow.

Thanks,
Mal

 

[stonegod]

Ditto. Except for the update part.

 

[covaithe]

After some thought, I've decided I'd rather go ahead and drop con down a bit in favor of wisdom. I think this is slightly better for the character concept, and Hafrogman's point about will saves is well taken. The effect on skills is nice, too. So I've edited Eyvi's character sheet to that effect.

A couple of other changes while I was in there:
- added untrained skill modifiers as well, just for convenience
- Chaotic good, not neutral good. Not sure how that got in there.
- weapon focus (greataxe) instead of cleave. I'm still willing to entertain other suggestions here.

With regards to the everburning torch, I don't think it is something Eyvi would carry in his pre-adventuring life, but he would be willing to purchase one if the party felt it necessary.

 

[stonegod]

Not that he'd be carrying it (except out of combat) w/ a two handed weapon.

Not that he'd be carrying it (except out of combat) w/ a two handed weapon.

Excellent point.

 

[Malvoisin]

Sorry I've been so quiet....finals looming and all that!

There is a new post up now In-Character. At this point, things can be fairly open until I have a good idea of what you want to do next.

covaithe, I'll check out Eyvi's character sheet, and let you know if I see any problems. It shouldn't be much longer now, and we'll get him involved in the game!
