Mid-point check-in

[reddragon56]

Right now I'm a 2 rogue/5 Barb.

I have 1 free feat exchange. This is pretty close to my build so-far. Not including equipment bonuses of course.

I wear a mithral +3 breastplate so evasion actually works.

I think as of now with equipment my con is 18 and my str is 19.

Right now I have a free feat exchange. So I was thinking of exchanging luck of the heroes with somthing else.

Switch it with toughness.


Also, you Really should have started with 18 str. The number 1 rule for barbarians is 18 str at creation, even splashes.

[reddragon56]

Does toughness really help mid to end game?

I can't imagine an extra 23 HP at level 20 to be all that helpful when barbs get so much HP to begin with. Or maybe I'm reading the feat wrong.

And yeah. I should have but I didn't. Worse comes to worse I could always use a tome.

Toughness isn't about the 23 HP the feat gives you it is about the 20-40 Hp in enhancements taking the feat opens up.

[BattleCircle]

IMHO, as high as your dex is you might want to think about swapping from THF to TWF. The extra attacks coupled with your haste boost will more than make up for the two points of strength. Then if you can afford the cost swap your Luck of Hero's for OTWF.

Just a thought. It's what I would do given your base stats

[reddragon56]

Oh I see about the toughness. I didn't know about that. Makes more sense.

Nothing can make up for that 2 strength. He will always do less dps than the same build that started with 18 str.

2 str is +1 to hit and +1 damage

+1 damage equals 6 extra damage on a crit of 19-20 (FB III); More if you use Two-Handed weapons due to Power Attack getting x1.5 str.

+1 to hit is important for him to miss less during his leveling.



As for switching to TWF. Wait till level 20 to do that. I would reroll or reincarnate as soon as possible, but that's just me .

[reddragon56]

I would reincarnate if you could do that at level 7

Also rerolling seems a waste. I have 400 favor right now. So any chances of improving this build as I go along would be great.

[Vyder]

Swap for toughness and go FB for now. Also its not to late to re roll for max strenth.

[reddragon56]

If I reroll it won't be as a barbarian. More likely a Hagglebot Bard or somesuch. Just so I have cash for the next time I have to reroll.
