[Goldeneye]

Krythan I: Kensei Ranger 12/6/2
12 Fighter, 6 Ranger, 2 Rogue
Human: Neutral Good

EDIT: This build is IN PROGRESS of being written. Certain aspect such as Q+A and Skills aren't complete yet, but I gotta run to class. I'll finish it later.

EDIT 2: This build is a slight variation of my original Krythan build. I made a few changes, that I hope makes the build easier for a newer player to follow. This build might resemble the Monster build... though I had it capped before the Monster build was posted. Though, the Monster Build deserves credit, since many people made the build, the Monster build made it famous on the forums,

QUESTION & ANSWER

Q. Why did you go Neutral Good?
A. Nuetral allows wider variety of weapons, while good allows you to use Pure Good weapons at low levels.

Q. I noticed you chose Quick Draw feats is that really necessary??
A. Fighters have PLENTY of feats... quick draw reduced the time between clicking your action boost and swinging.

Q. Why did you start with 16 DEX?
A. This build get Two Weapon Fighting and Improved Two Weapon fighting for free. However, you still need to chose Greater Two Weapon fighting which requires 17 DEX. Before level 12, the player must find a +1 DEX tome, in order to choose GTWF

Q. 28 Point Build?
A. 18 STR, 16 DEX, 12 CON

Q. Why did you choose Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack
A. At ranger level 6 you get access to the Tempest enhancement. This increased your attack speed by 10%. In order to get Tempest, you need the feats dodge, mobility, and toughness.

Q. Why did you do the level order in the way.
A. This build has to choose its levels in a specific order. Yes, there are ways to increase your max skill points, but this version will be the easiest to level up.

1 Rogue - gives you lost of skill points
2-7: Ranger
Favored Enemy Damage
Improved Two Weapon fighting as soon as possible
Ability to use Cure Wands
early access to Tempest
Favored Enemies for damage
8 Rogue:
Evasion. Uses skill points to make up for lack of UMD in ranger levels.
9-12: Fighter
Though this build is mostly fighter, leveling up I want the player to be a ranger first.
Once you get higher levels, you can worry about finding khopeshes.
Until then, use whatever weapons are available to you.

Q. What about AC/ DR??
A.If you want Armor class, or Damage Reduction, go ahead, I'm not going to write a guide for it. The defense of this build is: "kill it fast and it will do less damage". If you are interested in building a defensive/high AC/stalwart defender, check out my friend Asketes' Permanator: Stalwart Defender DPS INTIMITANK

Q. Why is this build Human?
A. How has this build changed since your original Krythan? If you look me up on my.ddo.com, you'll see that my original Krythan (Before TR) was 12 fighter / 6 ranger / 2 monk. I re-worked the feats, realized that AC was meaningless, and dropped monk in favor for rogue which offers ability to get max UMD, and Sneak attack damage.

Q. Why is this build Human?
A.

• Avaliable to new players
• No racial penalties
• 1 extra skill point/level = max UMD
• Good Enhancements
• AP includes healing amp
• Extra Feat at level 1

Q. Can I go halfling?
A.Of course. This build actually works very well as a halfling:
Just gotta remember to drop 1 feat: (I suggest OTWF)
32pt:

16 STR
16 DEX (Requires +2 DEX tome for GTWF)
15 CON
10 INT (makes sure you have 2skill points/fighter level to max UMD

Q. Can I go Warforged
A.Sure, why not. WF is actually a VERY good choice for this build. I chose human so F2P's wouldn't have to purchase WF
Just gotta remember to drop 1 feat: (I suggest OTWF)
32pt:

18 STR
16 DEX
16 CON
10 INT
