THF Elf FVS?

[jennick52]

I was wondering if there are any builds for this? Figured it would roll out the blocks the same way as the WF version, but using falcions instead of 2h swords. It seems, at least to me, that it should be able to do the same things as the WF version, and it would be able to heal itself better, plus it doesnt take the negatives to wis/cha. I can see the negative to con to be a bit daunting, but not all that much of a turn off.

Thanks for any feedback.

You would be actualy losing a bit more than that. Elves don't get a favored feat for falchion but WF get one for great swords so you end up losing 4 damage and 1 hit from that feat alone + 6 damage from the passive enhancment WFs get that improves upon powerattack AND the extra magical effects proc on glancing blow (another WF enhancment)
As an elf you get +4damage and +2 to hit with falchion so that covers a small part but 6 damage is still a big gap.

Thanks for the reply. Guess it would be better to go twf, with all the enhancements elves get for scimitars, and the favored feats as well. Again, thanks for the reply.

If you have the race or are VIP, you may want to take a look at the release notes for Helves in U8 also. They suddenly appear to be becoming quite a viable option for many things due to the improved dilletantes.
