[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 1353262, member: 892"] It would be a point buy (30 points). I alternate between "Extremes" and "nothing above 14" when I do point buys. This one is more on the "extremes" level. Partly because I wanted to try out all the class skills, and this is the only way to get all of them that I can see (unless I multi-class into rogue, perhaps).. The low strength hurts, but I can manage to carry what I need (perhaps I will hire someone to "Caddy" :) ). And Weapon Finesse and the SB Int bonus to damage sort of substitutes for the lack of str. But you are right, a Heward's Handy Haversack would be disproporionately valuable to this character. And one post back, thanks for noting the importance of Improved Critical. I was considering it, but with Improved Critical not stacking with Keenness in 3.5, and various ways of getting weapons to be keen (scabbard of keen edges, if nothing else), I had to pass (since I am not a fighter, I can't do the feat-a-palooza thing they do, unfortunately). Also, I don't know how much control over magic items I will get (depends if we have a mage who goes the item making route). If I have control, then scabbard of keen edges is a good way to go. If I don't have control, then I might use a different weapon than whatever I chose to improve critical in, if I find one that is kewl enough. I figured I had enough feats for one "Shtick" and went for the two-weapon route. I chose dodge because it stacks with an SB class ability. And nymph's kiss works both for background fluff and for the extra skill points. Thanks for all of your suggestions so far. Please keep them coming! [/QUOTE]
