Soul Warrior: WF 12 Barb/ 6 FS/ 2 Fghtr~Re-animated

[AlphandOmega]

Hail fellow roleplayers and gamers alike. I have used the Character Planner to create a potential Warrior for me ( when I re-incarnate ). Please feel free to critique this build, it is far from perfect. My main question is: Is a three teir multi too much and are my stata done correctly? If so, which two classes to keep, or which stat points. I do have a set of plus three tomes for this character to use (well, all but intel, which I included anyway because I will have it- I hope) Thanks all. See you in game!

What's the 6 FS levels for? 1 rogue level would give you better healing than 6 FS levels.
Why 12 barb and 2 fighter levels instead of 12 fighter levels and 2 levels of either fighter or any other class?

12 fighter brings more DPS than 12 barb.


If you gonna multiclass, think it through and compare the options. You also need a clear goal of what you are trying to achive. Otherwise it will most likely end up being a gimp.

Thank you for your opinion, although the sarcasism was not called for. I actually did think this out. The 6 Levels of FS grant me the ability to self heal and heal others with Cure Serious, Nightshield, Close Wounds, etc. But mainly I wanted Bladesworn Transformation to stack with my rage and the only way to get it is to take either 6 levels of Cleric (cannot combine with Barb) 6 Levels of Pally (cannot combine with Barb) or 6 levels of FS (compatible). There are also many nice enchantments.

But mainly I wanted Bladesworn Transformation

Just be warned that Bladesworn's duration is based on your divine class. You will only have 1:00 for Bladesworn with 6 levels of Favored Soul and a 10:00 cooldown, so it has a very limited span of usefulness.

I've got a seventh level version of this (6 FvS/1Barb), but the idea was to take 8 levels of favored soul, so I could get divine power, if for no other reason then to give me full BAB for a few seconds while what ever I'm fighting dies.

I think builds like this would work better with half-orcs. Just because of the higher strength, and no healing penalty.

Having said that, it's a blast!

My stats were a bit more min/maxed then yours.

18 STR
8 DEX
18 CON
10 INT
6 WIS
10 CHA

Maxing concentration and UMD for the favored soul levels, then when I start taking my Barbarian levels, max out intimidate UMD and concentration until those are all maxed out per level and start putting points in to balance.

The reason for UMD, is for after I fully buff, and frenzy in rage, I can drop high level heals from scrolls and wands to recouperate any self inflicted damage.

Just save Bladesworn for boss situations, you'll want the low duration on this build, because you'll not be able to be healed, just repaired. Fully buffed, you'll be approaching if not breaching the 60 STR mark. You'll use most of your spell points for self and party buffs anyways.

You'll have high to-hit bonuses, even with all six barbarian and warforged power attack enhancements. I'd also suggest taking as many extra rage enhancements as you can, with only a level or two of extend rages. You'll be effective out of rage and blade sworn because of your barbarian levels with FvS benefits.

I just get tired of being asked to be party healer with all my favored soul levels front loaded and hamstringing my potential.

Both posts were very insightfull, thanks! I am going to be getting started very soon, my char. is almost 20 now. I will defintalt take the advice and focus more on Favored Soul because I would definatly like to see a cooldown of less than 10 mins, although I still do not understand fully how this works. Would taking 12 levels of Sorc for Tensur's Transformation innstead be worth it? I could fully buff and help the party and when I wasnt under the spell I could easily cast Reconstruct for 200+ hp, but not being able to cast as a 12th lvl Sorc, even with 8 lvls of Barb or Fighter does not seem viable. It would be really nice to see a 12 Sorc/ 8 FS casting Tensur's and then using Bladesworn as an enchantment. I had someone hit me with it just to see if they stack, I just cant peaice toghter a practical build for this.
