Dwarven Dual Axe Fighter/Barb

[ErgonomicCat]

I can't imagine it's not a good build.

People tell me it's not.

But I wanna see for myself.

So I'm working on a dwarven TWF.

Main Hand, Dwarven Axe, off hand, Hand Axe.

1d10/1d6 damage (on par with Bastard sword/short sword, lose a human feat, gain EWP (Dwarven Axe)).

And then do the dwarven axe bonii.

Based on the char planner, I came up with this:

At the end of the day, I have +22/+22/+17/+17/+12/+12 attacks (with the TWF penalty) base.

With an Axe, I get +8 damage (from Dwarven + IWS) and +4 to hit (From Dwarven + IWF).

So assuming a +5 weapon in each hand at level 14, that's +31/+31/+26/+26/+21/+21 for 1d10+19 main hand and 1d6+16 off hand.

I can wear Mithril Full Plate and get all my dex bonus.

That seems pretty nice.

Is my math off?

Will I regret my enhancements?

Any comments?

Perfect in every detail, then?

I think the pre-req for GTWfighting is 17 Dex. Items and enhancements don't work for that, so you'll need a tome.

[ErgonomicCat]

Seems to be.

That, or put my level up points in to Dex. I think it's worth it, though....

Your going higher higher con then strength, taking toughness and putting a large part of your action poitns towards it.

If your so concerned about survivability your much better off dropping twf and picking up a shield. Start 18 strength.

Hmmm, good point.

SIR YES SIR!

Is it worth going to 18, though? That's 6 extra points. Pulling those from Con would drop me down to a 12. I can't imagine playing a fighter w/a 12 con.

A 17 str would let me have 15 dex, 15 con. That seems like a worth while trade to me.
