It's fun to have low stength!

[JPDefault]

Awesome story!
And congrats for your tome!

[Phidius]

Fun read!

[Maegin]

That made me smile

[Angelus_dead]

I was gonna comment when OP stated it was 3~4 more damage or 20~40 more hitpoints....makes me think he doesnt understand what adds to HP.....

What he's saying is that he put build points in constitution instead of strength.

[Wizard_Zero]

This made me smile!

[petegunn]

That's right, I actually had to jump inside of the chest and eat the +2 tome in order to take anything else. Unfortunately, I mean old barbed devil came by and shut the door while I was inside, but that's another story.

Woulda been even funnier if a mean old barbed devil came over and slotted ya before you looted it

[Rumbaar]

Nice work and great outcome!

That is correct. I guess only few people understand about what I meant, so here is to clarify...

When I made my character, I had this option:

Str: 12
Dex: 20
Con: 14
Int: 14
Wis/Cha: 8

OR...

Str: 6
Dex: 20
Con: 16
Int: 14
Wis/Cha: 8

I would rather have an extra 20 hit points at level 20 instead of +3 damage.

It is shameless, but yes, I did not take the toughness feat (and therefore none of the enhancements) which explains my low hit points (I admitted it, alright? ) Does that mean I die all the time? Only if I play like an idiot. I have other ways to keep myself alive like constant stoneskining, displacement scrolls, carrying plenty of heal scrolls, et cetera. Also, I always go in last. It may not make up for the extra hp, but whatever makes my toon more durable.

And 400+ hp? Give me time, I haven't twinked him to the max with raid loot yet.

Or, how about

STR : 14
DEX : 18
CON : 14
INT : 14
WIS : 8
CHA : 8

I see no real reason to start with a 20 Dex, it just a waste of build points IMO. With all the buffs to bump up your HP (Rage, Madstone, Yugo pots, Exceptional on ToD ring ect..) worring about 20 endgame is silly.

Even if i made a halfling caster, i wouldn't dare start with 6 STR, get hit with one Ray of Exhaustion and : Helpless

[samthedagger]

I'm actually impressed that you managed to survive for so long with only a 6 Str base. I tried rolling a halfling rogue with 6 Str base once, thinking naively that a few points of extra damage didn't matter and Weapon Finesse would give me a good to hit bonus. I was right, but I quickly found two things inconvenienced me a lot. 1) Any time I got hit by ray of enfeeblement I was incapped. 2) I couldn't carry ****. I was regularly finding myself forced to leave stuff in chests, not because my inventory was full, but because I was hitting my max weight limit. It was so frustrating I rerolled at level 7. See? I didn't even make it very far. When I reincarnated my rogue recently I went with a 12 Str (up from 10). It had nothing to do with extra damage, but everything to do with not being burdened just because I was carrying a few sets of full plate around. Now I'm at 20 (+2 tome and +6 item) and I carry around a stack of 100 rage pots. I'm a much happy camper.

But gratz on surviving so long with such a low Str. And gratz on killing the golem.

Another example of how the game rewards the weak and punishes the strong

.....yes it's a joke all you hypersensitive panicmongering low self esteemed mommy's dearest gimp....

[sirgog]

ha ha, nice!
Now go out, and acquire the following items:

• Titan's Gloves
• Madstone Boots
• Tod Rings +3 Exc STR
• Rage Pots

You are forgetting one important one:

Lesser (or greater) Druidic Heart of Wood. +6 to +8 Strength, stacks with everything you listed!

[Impaqt]

+3 Damage per swing > + 20 Hit Points(As long as you have a Reasonable amount)
+3 Damage > +1 to Hit

[bandyman1]

+3 Damage per swing > + 20 Hit Points(As long as you have a Reasonable amount)
+3 Damage > +1 to Hit

/QFT and I'll also add:

Being able to take power attack on a Dex-based melee = priceless

[Arnhelm]

Good story, got a smile from me

Holy thread resurrection Batman!

not to mention it wouldn't work now due to nerf bat hitting smiters...

[Glenalth]

I don't know about yours, but mine got upgraded. They're quite nice now.

[drewrayder]

Ugh, I have ran at least 50 Mindsunders and ransacked it many times, but to no avail. One of these days though... I might get it.

Madstone boots I would like to have, but more importantly for me right now is getting all the ingredients for TOD boots.

last night i vendored a pair of titans gloves. dam things were cluttering my inventory.


seriously though, i spent like 8 months of mindsunders to pull em, only to find out i would rather use the fabricator ones. lol.

[Varashad]

I freaking lolled.
