    Default Reincarnation - fixing Hasenpfeffer

    Okay, I've gotten plenty of grief over my dex-based halfling ranger/wizard with the healing dragonmarks... Let's see if I can make him better...

    Definitely want 12 levels of ranger, 5 levels of wizard

    Let's go strength-based this time

    STR 16 (+5 level ups + 3 tome + 6 item + 2 Ram's + 2 rage) = 34
    DEX 16 (+2 tome + 6 item + 4 enhancements) = 28
    CON 14 (+2 tome + 6 item) = 22
    INT 12 (+2 tome) = 14
    WIS 8 (+6 item) = 14
    CHA 8

    Feats:
    1 Toughness
    3 Least Dragonmark
    6 Lesser Dragonmark
    9 Improved Crit: Pierce
    12 Greater Dragonmark
    15 Power Attack
    18 Empowered Healing (works on Dragonmarks)

    Wizard feats:
    Extend
    Maximize (works on Dragonmarks)


    Now... 12/5 ranger/wizard... A couple of choices here...

    15/5 ranger/wizard - extra favored enemy, Freedom of Movement

    12/7/1 ranger/wizard/rogue - extra wizard spells, max out UMD, sneak attack.

    12/6/2 ranger/wizard/fighter - Two extra feats... get rid of Empowered Healing, and I could get Tempest... better BAB as well.

    I'm leaning towards the 12/6/2 and picking up Tempest.

    This change keeps all the fun wizard spells, the awesome self-healing ability, and increases his DPS quite a bit...

    Which is more DPS?

    Tempest or sneak attack (1d6 +3)?

    Seems like they're pretty close... sneak attack averages 6.5, Tempest is 10% more attacks...

    But sneak attack, of course, is situational... But I also get more spells, and UMD.

    2 levels of fighter gets +1 STR and 10 more hps...

    Man I love/hate this game... so hard to choose!

    If it ain't broke; don't fix it!

    Of course reincarnation promises to make chars better...even if you didn't change anything.

    Hmmm..
    Don't give up those things you like best about him.

    Tempest is nice, but it is so feat intensive.
    If you can get it great. But don't sacrifice what you really like for it.

    I wouldn't take Rog 1 only for SA. You can still take the halfling guile enhancements without it, and still use a backstabbing item. (like my Goggles! )

    Favored enemy adds to damage nicely too.

    It is a hard choice. lol.

    I don't know the best way to go.

    I've made several splash Wiz builds now...but I lvl too slowly and have too many chars.
    So it will be a long time before any of them get high enough to see how they will turn out.

    Talonkage broke out his stack of Firewall scrolls recently. Decided to solo some Orchard slayer. It is fun to stand in your own firewall.
    Bought a bunch of Fireshield scrolls recently too. That's also a cool spell.
    Would love to get a Wiz 7 build lvled up.

    Why can't they let us advance past 20?!
    The things I could do with just one or two more lvls...lol.

    If we ever get to lvl 60 watch out!

    How far did NWN let us go? 40?
    I think that version of Talon was a dual Katana weilding Rgr10/Clr10/Wiz20 with ranks in Rog skills...talk about fun.

    Btw, where's Hasenpfeffer been lately. I have grouped with him in well over a year I think.

    INDEED!!!

    If you’re having fun and the character isn’t a waste of space in the group then keep having fun. If others don’t get it then that’s their problem.
    Things worthy of Standing Stone going EXTREME PREJUDICE™ on.:
    • Epic and Legendary Mysterious ring upgrades, please.
    • Change the stack size of filigree in the shared bank to 50. The 5 stack makes the shared bank worthless for storing filigree in a human usable manner.
    • Fixing why I don't connect to the chat server for 5 minutes when I log into a game world.
    • Fixing the wonky Lightning Sphere and Tactical Det firing by converting them to use alchemist spell arcing.
    • Redoing the drop rates of tomes in generic and raid loot tables.
