[QUOTE="Silverblade The Ench, post: 4270935, member: 19083"] And the greatclub is crap in 4th ed...2d4 damage, for a 2hander with no other benefit...meh! WIll give him a mornginstar, which are now 2 handers...and on anothwr point, there's no way I'm letting the greatsword stay at 1d10 damage, that's grossly wrong. Since i've got books early, I'm making characters for my pals to play in KOTS...2nd level cleric (battle), ranger 2nd level (archer), dwarf wizard 1st, halfling rogue (1st, Ill go with pregen as it's cool). giving their main characters extra level to balance it up, to offset deaths, lack of experience in playing 4th etc. The cleric will be the party "tank" as it were. No shield for clerics = silly, IMHO. his two feats are armour of Bahamut (to offset party taking crits) and Toughness (maybe light shield, hm). Using 4d6 drop one for stats, so he got great rolls, so after racial bonus, s20 c17 d16 i14 w18 cha18, with hide armour and morningstar or mace and light shield. hopefully that should let him be a reasonable "tank" for the party, using "Healing strike" and Righteous Brand to help. :) [/QUOTE]
