Just seeing if this build is worth it

[Thadiues]

The goal is a TWF Dwarf using D axes. Let me know what I can do to improve. Also thinking that pure fighter might be better with the new capstone.

Dex based twf without evasion?

toss in 2 levels of monk for the extra 2 feats and go 2m(evasion+2feats)/6ranger(tempest+twf+itwf)/12f(2 tiers of pre)

edit - I guess it isn't "dex based" but I still say add evasion

[adamkatt]

I would think maybe maxxed out or closer to max str?

[maddmatt70]

All these builds are heading toward a 12 fighter 6 ranger and either 2 monk, 2 rogue, or 2 barbarian... Since you are going lawful and dwarf 2 monk likely will be your build. I am thinking about making a 2 rogue 12 fighter 6 ranger halfling myself. A warforged or dwarf variation with 2 levels of barbarian is also a pretty solid build..

[maddmatt70]

Yeah he should go max strength.. no reason to have an 18 starting dex..

[jmelanie7]

I would go :

18 str
15 dex
17 con
8 int
8 wis
6 cha

All lvl points go in to STR.
Should give you a solid base with ftr enhancements and a +1 or +3 tome.
Dex, your goal here is 17. So just use a +2 tome.
Having a 10 wisdom is totally pointless, since you need an 11 to actually be able to cast level 1 spells. just use a +3 item or better while you cast your only spell, then switch back, or if you decide to go with the capstone, which would make sense, then you dont even need to bother with the wisdom at all.

I would REALLY think about the capstone, cause it will give you the access to tier 3 of kensai, while giving you what you want from tempest.

Good luck!

[MondoGrunday]

i think it looks good an well balanced to what its suppose to do, shred up stuff. the dwarven axes is a great way to specialize at low cost with great output. dwarf con will allow the twf to stay in the fight longer. looks decent :)

[FreudoBaggins]

Reptilian? I would think Undead would be consistently more useful, and Evil Outsider or Giant better for endgame ...

[Thadiues]

After reading again the Kensai PrE and the Fighter capstone I think I am going to go Ftr all the way. I know that without evasion certain fights will be a pain in the a$$ but sometimes that makes it more fun. And the reason I put 18 into dex is because I have this thing with uneven numbers :-) and I didn't want to rely on a tome for my 17 dex.

And Freudo....Fav Enemys will change as I move through the game....those two were picked due to the sheer number of mobs in early levels.

Going to 16 dex and a +1 tome is really reasonable. That's how I made my pure fighter and someone just gave me the +1 tome. It means you can start with an 18 str.

I've also had the thought that if another TWF feat is introduced, say 'superior two weapon fighting' it might require a 19 dex and starting at 16 means it would still be feasable with a +3 tome.

[Girevik]

I just have one small nit pick.

Put a point in Tumble.

If you have an N/A, a +30 buff still leaves you at N/A.

If you have a 1, a +30 buff will leave you at 31. Quite a difference.

[FreudoBaggins]

I know someone will correct me if I am mistaken, but I believe it has been said there is no improvement noticeable in Jump after 40.

at level 11, the Jump spell is +30, and Jump items are of course +15 at level 15, and your strength bonus boosts Jump as well.

I have two capped characters with buffed Jump scores over 50. Do people think it is worth maxxing Jump, or not?


[maybe 3-4 points in tumble to overcome any ACP from armor or shields? My cleric can't tumble with his Madstone Shield equipped]
