The Frenzied Acrobat 1.0

[Dr.Goodspeed]

Hey there,

First of all for those who are wondering why I post this build here instead of the rogue forum: I also posted it in the rogue forum, but sometimes the resonance to build threads that don't come from 10,000 post users is a little weak there for my tastes so I decided to post it in the barbarian section as well.

Now to the build... Since I recently grinded myself the 32 point build I am finally free of the restrictions of the Drow domain. Thus I've come up with the build you can see below. However my sense of fairness demands mentioning that I was a little inspired by one of Impaqt's builds.

The idea is to make optimal use of the synergy between Frenzied Berserker and the Acrobat Enhancements by using Quarterstaves as the primary weapon. This also removes the need of a high dex value which allows you to start with a whopping 17 strength and 16 constitution while keeping intellegence and charisma at decent levels.
Since THF is also a little less feat consuming than TWF you are able to add a few flavor feats of your choice. I took Skill Focus: UMD and Greater Cleave, but there are some other viable choices as well.

I hope you enjoy analyzing and/or playing this build! Any comments/suggestions/questions etc. are welcome of course!


So long,
Goodspeed

Why do you take the umd feat so early. The only reason I can think of is if you already have some uber RR quarterstaf you want to use early. But the earliest I can see it making a big differnce is level 8 with paralizers and disrupters. Makes a joke out of delaris eleite with a level 8 rr disrupter.

Wand/Scroll usage, etc. I'll also use a Holy Qstaff of PG at lvl 8 which requires 20UMD.
11 ranks + 3 Cartouche(got one banked) + 2 from +4charisma item or eagle's splendor clicky + 3 Skill Focus +2 Human Versatility = 21 UMD
