[QUOTE="Flipguarder, post: 4775882, member: 61430"] I have an Idea for a character that's basically a weak party all by himself. He will start at a minimum of level 8. [U]The Necessary Things [/U] Ritual casting Dual-wielding flails (because it may be the coolest thing ever). Wears plate [U]The Wanted Things[/U] Decent attacking ability Great defenses As many healing surges as I can muster High intimidate score [U]Things I can Sacrifice[/U] Mobility (at least without items being added in.) Dex if need be Charisma Skills Race choice Normally "must-have" feats Probably going to be necessary to sacrifice some reflex defense Aoe ability Now it seems the best idea off hand is to roll a tempest fighter, multi-class wizard (for ritual casting) and be done with it. But from the martial power book it seems the tempest fighter has a SEVERELY limited set of attack powers devoted to it. Possibly because its based on a defender class, something I'm not particularly interested in for a solo character. The other option is to roll a ranger spend 3 feats getting plate and multi-class wizard. Obviously sacrificing some healing surges, and using more feats but gaining much more in way of striking ability. [U]Things to know[/U] This character will most likely be used in situations where Im having very few encounters 3-5 in between extended rests. Overall the ability to strike effectively is more important than maxing my defenses. but the necessary things are the MOST important. The plan is for him to be alone and possibly join a party where he would function as an extremely aggressive striker. His name is [B]Drago the Flailer[/B]. His catch phrase should be obvious: [I]"I must break you."[/I] Thanks in advance for any ideas opinions you might have. Also any item ideas would be great, anything that helps mobility, healing surges and reflex defense seems to be what Ill need. EDIT: ummm.... I possibly put this thread in the wrong forum, but don't really know a better place to put it. [/QUOTE]
