WF KotC/Kensei with Zeal
Good DPS (better without RP use of GreatSword)
Decent survival as well - Decent Saves - Plenty of Immunities
Only Tome needed is +2 CHR for DM II - and even that could be from level ups
At level 10 when you finally get spells - swap Adamantine Body out for Toughness or something else
Philosophy:
This is not meant as yet another alt build to tweak out,
it is more a build meant for the 1st few caps, before your inventory is overflowing with goodness
That is also why this build is not meant for Tanking
I went with Greatsword because:
It works with the whole Follower of the Lord of Blades thing (RP value as well as the +1)
It can be Summoned (alot easier than farming/crafting)
They are generally cheap
It wouldn't be that hard to swap out later for a higher dps choice, or just start a different path if you already have good end game weaps ready
I didn't go pure Pally because:
WF is a great race, but has gimped CHR, so DM III and IV would be hard/expensive to get to
- 14 Pally gives Zeal - 6 Figher gives feats and Kensei
Also Kensei adds to glancing which is a nice bonus
Kensei also give more utility against non undead/evil outsider, instead of putting all my eggs in one basket
I didn't go two weapon because:
There is better synergy with WF and THF than TWF - WF do not get a DEX bonus, but they do get PA (and glancing bonuses, but didn't take em based on comment)
In general THF is cheaper
There are already good builds that go Zeal/Tempest which would be more natural for TWF
- I like the saves/immunities of Pally better
Even though you get better single target dps (double smite, etc)
- you get much better multi target with THF, and also bigger flashing numbers
You click less with THF and there are already alot of clicks with this build :)
