Should I change up the stats a bit, i.e. take off a bit of Con to put somewhere else?

[Sani_Medicor]

I personally wouldn't go any lower on con. I don't think I would have gone to 16 dex on the 32pt build, since you don't have a prereq for twf feats. I think I'd either put those points in strength or wisdom.

I would max disable device, instead of open lock. I recently started with 4pts of open lock and was able to unlock everything on elite up to level 10. I recently took 4 more points of open lock, but haven't gotten to test it on higher level content yet.

The only reason I put 16 Dex was because I didn't feel as if there was anything else better to put it in (it would only be 1 point of Strength). I'm thinking that because this build can only get up to Divine Might I, on the 32 Point I'll put the dex and charisma at 14 and bump up strength. Does this sound reasonable?

Disable device is maxed. And there are only 4 ranks in open lock (adding 1 more later when all of the other skills needed are basically maxed).

Do you think this build will be able to perform well in high level content?

[-Zyxas-]

Bump. Still need some answers please.

[unbongwah]

Ugh, that is a horrible font...

Have you considered 32-pt human using khopeshes? Base stat 16 / 14 / 14 / 12 / 8 / 14, all lvl-ups into STR, +1 STR (human enh) so STR 22 unbuffed at lvl 20. Lets you bump up your feats 3 lvls; take khopesh at 12 or 15.

[-Zyxas-]

Yeah that would be great, never thought of that. I'll change it, but not now since I don't have 32 Point unlocked yet...
