[QUOTE="rhm001, post: 4340662, member: 48494"] So, a couple points; only copied the relevant sections: 1) Did you take the scores based on what you think the character would have? Or because of Skills? Or did you roll them? If so, great. If not, then you might want to shoot for something a little more optimal with the 22 points, say: Strength : 16 (+3) Constitution : 15 (+2) (13+2) Dexterity :14 (+2) Intelligence : 10 (+0) Wisdom : 14 (+2) Charisma : 10 (+0) (8+2) As a Ranger, you don't get much from Int or Cha, so you might as well up Wis and Con, since Wisdom helps your attacks and hitpoints never hurt. Alternatively, you could take Wis 15 and Con 13, but if you're using a Battleaxe as one of your weapons, the Con can help with feats later on. 2) Why Skill Training? Character aspect? If not, there are a long list of feats that will be more useful; there's Two Weapon Fighting, to list one. 3) Why Eyebite? Even with your build as it was, you were going to have a hard time hitting anyone with it. I would suggest something Strength-based, possibly: Righteous Brand (Cleric); Cleave (Fighter); Viper's Strike (Warlord); or Wolf Pack Tactics (Warlord). Alternatively, if you still want to go for the "anger" character aspect, take the higher Con mentioned above and take one of the Warlock's other at wills, (any of them!) since they all either are or can be based on Con, so you'll at least have a slightly better chance to hit with them. You're in melee mostly, so I'd go with Hellish Rebuke if you did that. 4) Are the weapons based on the character, too? All swords or all axes might be preferable, though not necessary. If it's not a strong part of the character story, I'd also say there's no reason to take a shortbow when you can take a longbow. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
