Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nyeshet" data-source="post: 3440439" data-attributes="member: 18363">I'm a little impressed that Belkar is so completely CE that his only alignment options left for consulting are NE, CE, and CN (ie: the two devils and the slaad). All others see to still have all four alignments (good, evil, chaos, law) to consult with, but Belkar is so thoroughly CE that only evil, chaos, and a meta-alignment of chaotic evil remain to advise him.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" />  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> I still want to know how a halfling ranger with two daggers is dealing enough damage to slay various creatures with one hit (from the chimera way back to the obviously 8+ level human rogue (archer w/ rapid shot) in this strip to the various hobgoblins. Granted, the hobgoblins are likely only first or second level warriors, while he is a 12th level Ranger (11) / Barbarian (1). And it is entirely possible that he has goblinoids (and almost certainly humans) as favored enemies. But even still he seems to put out quite a bit of damage for a 2WF dagger using str-penalty race combative. Rage can help, but it barely makes up for the str penalty he has to begin with. Personally, I'm beginning to wonder if he might be some alternative class mixing features of rogue and ranger. Sneak attack would explain a lot, after all, especially if stacked with favored weapon bonuses. As it is Belkar lacks any use of ranger magic, animal companion, etc - several of the more useful features of the class. But if he gave those up for normal sneak attack progression then suddenly a lot becomes easier to believe / take in. (Also, if I recall correctly, didn't he state he wanted more skill points in the first strip - and then got upset because he didn't get any? Yet rangers *did* get more skill points, suggesting again that perhaps Belkar's class is mixing elements of Rogue and Ranger (as rogues did not gain any more skill points.)In any case, I think Belkar will remain a mystery for a while yet to come.</blockquote>
