Bonk a Neutral Good Dwarven Fighter 2 / Rouge 14
Requested By: McStabby & Roadkill525
Introduction
The request was for a rogue with stunning blow, way of the assassin, decent trap skills and decent UMD. I also had done a strength based blunt Halfling and commented on how Halfling made stunning blow difficult to pull off effectively. Unfortunately the races good at tactics (Warforged and Dwarf) have issues with charisma making the UMD a bit more difficult. Also the requester seemed fairly new so I’m assuming 28pts, so stats are at a bit of a premium.
I went with dwarf so I could beef up the hit points a bit more with toughness. Again I went with a blunt focus since stunning weapons are all blunts. I went with two handed fighting to emphasize a strength focus, but I will probably do a TWF version of the basic idea next to explore the option. Extending from the two handed weapon is using power attack. This can be tricky for a rogue so you will want to use it only when you are assured you can land the blows. Generally you are going to want to focus on one target, stun them, and then clobber them.
However, I did decide to throw in the Cleave feats. This is a pretty dangerous maneuver for a rogue as you can do a lot of damage to a lot of angry monsters all at once. However, I think if you are clever you can find occasions to use this to good effect and really decimate a large group of monsters. It may go very well with a paralyze or even a good weighted weapon, or even just with diplomacy, letting you mitigate the nasty agro while beating the daylights out of many monsters at once. I’d also strongly recommend some fearsome armor! I think the risk (massive agro) is worth the fun (mass crippling strike and sneak attack!).
Enhancements were hard on this build with a huge number of good things to spend them on. I focused first on the stunning blow, then on getting way of the assassin, then skills, and finally on durability.
