Two-weapon Warforged FVS

[jambajuicey]

I see a few WF favored souls running around that melee quite well, is there a decent TWF 32pt WF fvs build that can heal and melee respectably?

Generally speaking, melee WF FvS tend to be THF.

FvS get special bonuses with their "favored weapon." For Warforged, the Lord of Blades faith gives bonuses to Greatswords.

Warforged can also select Sovereign Host and Silver Flame to get bonuses to Longswords and Bows respectively, but these are generally considered inferior weapons compared to other weapon weapons of their class.

Alternatively one can spend a feat to get access to khopesh, but the Favored Soul class really doesn't get much synergy from doing that.

It seems to me that the ideal TWF Favored Soul would be an Elf. Scimitars aren't bad weapons, and you would have 2 different enhancement lines to boost them.

Thank you very much for the replies, perhaps I'll check out WF pallies twf? Or is that a similar situation?

It's more of a situation of being feat starved AND requiring a focus on more stats than a FvS.

It's well doable.

You'll have less CHR than the standard Pally, and you'll want to splash some monk in there for extra feats.

It's not just the bonus, it's the proficiency. WF FvS can choose an enhancement that gives proficiency with greatswords. I think Impaqt has a nice TWF elven FvS build somewhere...

It is doable, however, since WF get a -2 CHA it makes it very hard to get a good level of Divine Might as well as getting the DEX for TWF, the CON for enough HP, and the STR to make everything matter. (INT and WIS aren't that important). This is why most Warforged Paladins also go THF.

Some of the other DPS classes though that don't have such a high reliance on CHA work well for WF TWF, like Fighter and Barbarian. That's probably not what you wanted though.

A WF can certainly be a FVS of the Sov. Host and use longswords.

A WF can be a FVS of the Lord of Blades and use greatswords. The handy thing about that is that THF is generally kinder to (a) attributes and (b) DPS without taking ITHF / GTHF ... if you went TWF you NEED ITWF and GTWF.

So ... you could, as feats, do the following

Toughness, Power Attack, TWF, ITWF, GTWF, Quicken, Empower Healing

That's 7 feats.


Honestly, there are drow FVS running around who manage, so a WF sporting dual long swords shouldn't be impossible.
