Halfy Dragonmarks are awesome, post your build

[Crarites]

I built a halfling cleric specifically to use the clickie heal abilities. Undying sovereignty/5 heal clicks/7cure/9cures/+12 divine healing. The marks can't be interrupted and work when feebleminded. Divine healing can be used through barriers same as paladin lay on hands. What I found most interesting with the halfling cleric is how little the character has to rely on wands and or scrolls. The larger goal of building a healing cleric that wasn't a money pit worked out very well.

Tamn is just about to hit lvl 7 and has been going great so far
what he will eventually be

32 pt halfling
Paladin 11/Ftr 1/Rog 2
LG

Stats
Str 14 ----> 24 (+3 level up, +1 Tome, +6 item)
Dex 13 ----> 22 (+2 Enhancements, +1 Tome, +6 item)
Con 14 ----> 20 (+6 item)
int 12 -----> 13 (+1 Tome consumed at level 1)
wis 11 -----> 18 (+1 tome, +6 item)
cha 14 ----> 24 (+6 item, +1 tome, +3 enhancement)

Skills
Intimidate max Ranks
UMD max Ranks

To maintain max ranks take fighter early, around 3 or 4 and raise only intimidate, use those rogue levels to increase umd only and take them late, you dont get evasion until lvl 14, but if you can find yourself an int 2 tome somehow then you dont need to worry

Feats
1. Least mark of healing
3. Toughness (anythign really i just like the extra hp)
Ftr. CE
6. Lesser mark of healing
9. improved critical
12. Greater mark of healing.

Yeah I thought about that...you would have more mana to burn on offensive spells...but not the feats to make those spells kick-ass..you definitely pick up a lot of heal-power though! I can't wait for maximize when I take my 4th level of pally.

I have a 14 Halfling Paladin I built to be a healing Pally. His 2 skill points went into Heal and Diplo. Greater Dragon Marks and Empower Healing. I maxed out the enhancements for the dragonmarks and LOH. Also the Undying Sov. There have been quite a few times where I have been a wand whipping healer (with all my clickies) or helped the OOM cleric by healing in the middle of combat. He has almost surpassed my main as my favorite character to play...
Basically, Halflings rule.

Interesting thread.

A few weeks back I read about a halfling bard 1/wizard 13 who tried to emulate the MysticTheurge PrC using wands, scrolls, and halfling dragonmarks. It got me to thinking ...

I rolled up (and am slowly leveling) 2 halflings (lost my mule slots!). First a bard 1/wizard 13 as described above. Second, a bard 1/sorc 13 which will be tough because of lack of feats but I wanna try it.

I'm not very far along on any of them, but it was interesting to see this thread because I seriously think that halflings are underrated at the moment.

Got mine up to level 12 right now. 32 point build. Ranger11/Rogue1. Took the rogue level first, of course. And the least mark. Was easily able to solo up to level 3. Grabbed bastard sword for melee oomph and flava at level 3. Levels 6 and 9 finished off the dragon marks. Just got Empower Healing at level 12. Also just found an Improved Potency VI item. Have my enhancements totally full on dragon marks, and full on ranger devotion. I'm popping my heals for 306 HP each! Being able to do any trapsmithing, and pretty much being able to take the place of a cleric allows me to form a new group and take anybody, first come first served. UMD is maxed so I've been able to use the warforged-only vorpal longsword and paralyzing long bow. Got his ass handed to him by a Duergar Champion in BAM, so not a great toe to toe melee. But in the same night did Chains of Flame sans cleric. Very powerful character, very fun to play...

Hello,

I haven't ever posted on the forums before, as most needs are always covered by those who like to talk alot. However even small posts can give others ideals for things they might be looking for, so here it goes.

This is a 28 point multi-class build that uses a few tomes, but doesn't have too if you don't have access to these. The tomes can just round out some stats, and free up some enhancement points. If you have access to a 32 point build feel free to increase the stats you would like higher. Again this is just a template using the halfing build, it can work with any race. Each race gives it's own advantage to some aspect of the build. (i.e. Halfling better healing, Human better intimidate / more skill points, Dwarf more Hp's / better DR...etc ..etc)

11 Cleric / 3 Pally / 2 Fighter

Stats:

Str: 12 (+1 ftr / +4 levels / +1 tome / +6 item)
Int: 13 (+1 tome - 1st level for more skill points, though not needed)
Wis: 12 (+2 cleric / +4-6 item / +2 favor tome if aquired)
Dex: 10 (+2 halfing / +4-6 item / or +1 half / +1 tome / + item - frees up 4 enhancement points)
Con: 11 (+1 tome / + 4-6 item)
Cha: 16 (+2 cleric / + 4-6 item or +1 tome / + 1 cleric / +item - frees up 4 enhancement points)

Modified Stats:

Str: 24 (23 with no tome)
Int: 14 (13 with no tome)
Wis: 22 (18 with no tome or +6 item)
Dex: 18 (16 with no +6 item)
Con: 18 (16 with +5 item)
Cha: 24 (22 with no +6 item)

Again if you are a min/maxer feel free to change anything you want..this is more for the casual gamer who can get access to some good gear but not all the uber gear.

Next we will go to the saves:

Base: +7 / +3 / +7 Cleric
+3 / +1 / +1 Pally
+3 / +0 / +0 Ftr
+3 / +3 / +4 stats(went with lower ones)
+2 / +2 / +2 Pally Aura
+1 / +1 / +1 Halfling
+6 / +6 / +6 Divine Grace (lower cha)
+0 / +2 / +0 Halfling saves(enhancement)
+4 / +4 / +4 Resist item
+2 / +2 / +2 Heroism buff(morale bonus)
+2 / +2 / +2 Recitation(luck bonus)

+33 / +26 / +29 (on average with gear attainable easily)

+ 2 more Greater Heroism
+ 2 more better aura
+ 1 more better resist
+ 2 / + 2 / + 3 better stats

+40 / +33 / +37


Next will check out AC:

10 Base
13 +5 fullplate
7 +5 lg shield (if mith tower add 2)
1 Dex (3 if mithral plate)
1 halfling
5 Combat Exp
2 Pally Aura
2 Chaosguard
5 protection (not that hard to get these days)
3 barkskin(potion)
2 Recitation (self cast)
1 Haste (potion / caster)
1 Parry Wep (Insight bonus)
2 if blocking

53 / 55 blocking (easily attainable)

2 better pally aura
2 better barkskin
2 Mithral Tower shield
2 Mithral Fullplate
3 Chatter Ring (dodge bonus)
1 Dodge Feat

65 / 67 ( harder to get / though even a casual player can get some off this)

Next will be HP:

20 Heroic
20 Ftr
30 Pally
88 Cleric
10 Draconic
48 Con(64 w/18con)
18 (Aidspell)
?? (Falselife item if equipped - we will use 20)
18 (Toughness feat if taken)

234 / ~288 if you like alot of HP

Next is Intimidate:

19 base
6 Cha (7 if CHA higher)
2 Luck(recitation or item)
1 Ftr
15 Item
3 SF:Intim(if taken at 15th)
4 Greater Hero

50 total / 47 no SF: Intim (51 / 48 for better CHA)

Next is to hit:

+13 Base
+7 Str
+1 Halfling
+3 Divine Favor (self cast)
+4 Wep / Extra dam
+1 Enhancement (longswords)
+3 Divine Power (self cast)
+2 Recitation (self cast)
+1 haste (potion or caster)

+35 total
-2 towershield

+33 total

Here is the Feats:

1st: Least Mark
3rd: Empower Healing or Maximize
6th: Lesser Mark
9th: Greater Mark
12th: Empower Healing or Maximize
15th: SF: Intimidate or Toughness

Ftr feat: Combat Expertise
Ftr feat: Improved Crit (slashing)

Level Breakdown:

Pali / Pali / Cleric / Cleric / Cleric / Ftr / Pali / Cleric / Cleric / Ftr / Cleric the rest

Here are the Skills:

Intimidate to the Max level / I went with UMD, Jump and Balance(the latter to to get a positive number with a few points in each)

UMd Breakdown:

9 Base
6 Cha(or 7 if you have better stats)
2 Luck (Recitation or Item)
4 Greater Heroism
3 Golden Cartouche

24 (25 for higher CHA)

This will let you use alot of racially restricted gear as well as some arcane items and scrolls. Great for out of combat use and ok for in combat use as you probly wont be using the cartouche at that time.

Next we go to Enhancements: (Can switch these any way you like as equipment or tomes you get while leveling)

Ideally this what I would like with the gear I got and tomes used:

Extra Dragonmark IV / Ftr Intimidate I / Divine Healing III / Follower of the Soverign Host / Cleric Life Magic IV / Halfling LUck II(Reflex)
Energy of the Zealot III / Halfling Dex I(+1 tome used) / Cleric CHA I(+1 tome used) / Paladin Aura of Bulwark I / Paladin Aura of Resist I
Ftr Str I / Cleric Wisdom II / Lay on Hands I

This will leave you with 4 points still left over for whatever or if you didnt have tomes to get + 2 stat bonus still in one stat.


In conclusion I have been playing this build and am currently level 10. It has provided great versitility and the healing power has been great so far. It's nice to be able to give others some buffs and I have been able to take advantage of the UMD at this level also. My hitpoints haven't been a problem so far even on elite dungeons I have been on. I do have some misses on intimidating giants, though I didn't have a max intimidate item for my level. Mind you I still can Intimidate them though. I feel this build will only get better as the cleric levels go up now and being able to raise your healer of whoever is nice as well. Also you will be able to use any level 7 scroll without failure and level 8 scrolls with minor failure(10% I think). With a 24 UMD Displacement scrolls or other Arcane items and such may be useful as well, even though the duration will be short.


I thank all the other posts for helping me think of something that may be useful to someone. Also this build will work as a Halfling Ftr / Magic-user if you either went Str build or Dex based. The only thing that changes is your gear somewhat. Split is 11 Wizard / 3 Pally / 2 Ftr, this works great with halfling dragon marks as the wizard levels get you 3 Metamagic feats to go with the ones you got already. I will post it when I have completly written it down.

stupid question but how do you get dragonmarks?

[Artierius]

stupid question but how do you get dragonmarks?

In the harbor by the mailbox and Auction house guy...there is a man stading there that will give you a quest which the door is immediatly to the right if you are looking at the Auction house guy. Go into the door, answere a few questions and you can now use dragonmarks upon creation of any race that can use them. This means delete the guy you just created to unlock this if you wanted him to have dragonmarks, if he is still low level 1-2.

Hope this helps...
