Tasgall Mac Ruaidh (RP Build)

[Irinis]

In character:

As near as I can tell, my name means "uglyface the red." Why would my parents saddle me with such a name? I am quite handsome, even non-Dwarven lasses agree on that score. Perhaps only the redfaced, redhaired baby I once was inspired it. Maybe they hoped Lady Luck would smile on me after having such a terrible name. Whatever the reason, I rather like it, and I have been quite lucky for the most part after being adopted by a small tribe of Half-Orcs when my parents were killed, although I ascribe that luck to the Sovereign Host.

Out of character:

This was my first FvS build and my first healer to cap. I built him as a generalist because I didn't really know what I wanted. He's been AWESOME to play, healing Hound and VOD at level 14, elite VODs, etc. I swapped out Greater Spell Pen for Empower Healing in order to heal certain situations better and am really liking that. It's just a pity that offensive casting isn't very effective in epics. I'm torn on TR plans - much as I love Destruction and Implosion I also really like taking him into epics, but a melee/healer build would be much better there than an offensive caster build would be.

Build Retrospective:

Since this is a retrospective, I've left the skills off.

You'll notice immediately the INT is very high. As much as I like skills I would probably have less INT next time and eat a tome at 7.

The STR is too high for an offensive caster. He melee'd a LOT until about level 10, when his weapons were weak and I figured it was time to phase out melee. Then he didn't get BB for another couple of levels, so it was frustrating. He never has a problem with stat damage but I wouldn't start this high again. Higher or lower.

The low starting CON 12, still ends up at a respectable amount of HP especially since he rarely melees anymore.

20 Heroic Durability
160 Class breakdown (Favored Soul 8 x 20)
22 Toughness feat
60 Racial and FvS toughness enhancements
120 from 22 CON
20 Minos
20 Dusk Heart
45 Shroud
10 Draconic
= 477 unbuffed

20 Rage spell
16 GH

= 513

Right now he doesn't have Draconic yet, and hasn't done enough Shrouds to cleanse his HP item or make T3. Sitting at 432 hp unbuffed. Greater or Superior False Life would make 533 max HP.

SP

Archmagi, Shroud 150 SP for 2703 SP total.

DCs are low due to 31 WIS and not having exceptional yet. He'd be -1 on a typical offensive caster due to starting with 16 WIS instead of max.
