2nd tr build idea: Therapist tempest 2, assassin 1, barb 1

[chodelord]

To make this a regular 32 point build drop 2 points from str and add 2 points to int, also he is probably better off as a halfling or human but I have lots of dwarfy gear so I'm sticking with dwarf

if you go halfling or WF there is a flexible feat in there where I took a past life active feat where you can take kopesh

the basic idea is that the ranger capstone is useless for melee and tempest 3 (or really ranger past 12) doesn't really bring much to the table in terms of melee damage

so I thought assassin 1/tempest 2 would be a great combo. And since rogue 8 or ranger 13 don't add anything themselves I threw in barb for an extra point of power attack damage, 10hp 1pt enhancement and the wonderful 10% run speed

thoughts, flames, etc

[jcTharin]

i would prefer a lever of fighter instead of barbarian. the bonus feat seems more valuable than 1 point of PA and 10% speed.

[chodelord]

what would I use the bonus feat on?

[drsmooth]

Gives you your last Favored Enemy Damage Enhancement.

[LordPiglet]

what would I use the bonus feat on?

you could use it for something like toughness and then take skill focus: umd

[unbongwah]

Why so much base DEX? This isn't an AC- or ranged-focused build, is it? I would stick with DEX 14 and put the extra pts into CON.

[chodelord]

Gives you your last Favored Enemy Damage Enhancement.

This is true, lets compare the three options for the last level, Ranger 13, Barb 1, Fighter 1

Ranger 13:

favored enemy damage 4, 1 extra damage vs giants, undead, evil outsiders
d8 hit die

Fighter 1

d10 hit die (2 hp > ranger)
+2 fort save
feat, probably taking stunning blow
fighter toughness 1 (10 hp, 1 action point)
fighter trip 1 (+1 dc trip, 1 action point)
fighter stunning blow 1 (+1 dc stunning blow, 1 action point)
(at that point if I have the stunning blow feat I'm probably going down the dwarven tactics line to 2)

Barbarian 1

d12 hit die (4 hp > ranger)
+2 fort save
barbarian power attack (+1 power attack damage -1 hit, 1 action point)
10% stacking run speed
barbarian toughness 1 (10 hp, 1 action point)
? rage charges

Hah you are right, forgot I don't need 17 base dex for greater two weapon fighting!

Good catch.

Looks like I'm going 14 dex, 18 con and 14 int (I think)
