So I had this idea for a charater that seemed really kinda fun to play. He's the type of guy I would have loved to roleplay in PnP. The idea sprang from a visual joke, a halfling barbarian swinging a greatsword as big as he was. My old guild got a chuckle out of the idea, but the thought stuck with me. So i decided to try him out with one minor adjustment... he's alo an intimi-tank.
The roleplay possibilities are just pure comedy. A pint sized pip-squeek who rages all the time and loves to intimidate everything arround him (and with Barbarian Intimidate, they are actually scared of him).
So I give you: Shortman Syndrome
My biggest question would be how high could his intimidate score get? I suck at running numbers with all the different stat buffs so I turn to you, oh experts of the forums.Code:Character Plan by DDO Character Planner Version 3.7.1 DDO Character Planner Home Page Level 20 Neutral Good Halfling Male (20 Barbarian) Hit Points: 422 Spell Points: 0 BAB: 20\20\25\30\30 Fortitude: 18 Reflex: 7 Will: 6 Starting Feat/Enhancement Abilities Base Stats Modified Stats (32 Point) (Level 1) (Level 20) Strength 16 25 Dexterity 10 10 Constitution 16 21 Intelligence 8 8 Wisdom 8 8 Charisma 14 16 Tomes Used +2 Tome of Strength used at level 8 +2 Tome of Constitution used at level 8 +2 Tome of Charisma used at level 8 Starting Feat/Enhancement Base Skills Modified Skills Skills (Level 1) (Level 20) Balance 2 9 Bluff 2 3 Concentration 3 5 Diplomacy 2 3 Disable Device n/a n/a Haggle 2 3 Heal -1 -1 Hide 0 4 Intimidate 6 30 Jump 5 22 Listen -1 1 Move Silently 0 2 Open Lock n/a n/a Perform n/a n/a Repair -1 -1 Search -1 -1 Spot -1 -1 Swim 5 22 Tumble n/a n/a Use Magic Device n/a n/a Level 1 (Barbarian) Feat: (Selected) Toughness Level 2 (Barbarian) Level 3 (Barbarian) Feat: (Selected) Two Handed Fighting Level 4 (Barbarian) Level 5 (Barbarian) Level 6 (Barbarian) Feat: (Selected) Power Attack Level 7 (Barbarian) Level 8 (Barbarian) Level 9 (Barbarian) Feat: (Selected) Cleave Level 10 (Barbarian) Level 11 (Barbarian) Level 12 (Barbarian) Feat: (Selected) Improved Critical: Slashing Weapons Level 13 (Barbarian) Level 14 (Barbarian) Level 15 (Barbarian) Feat: (Selected) Improved Two Handed Fighting Level 16 (Barbarian) Level 17 (Barbarian) Level 18 (Barbarian) Feat: (Selected) Greater Two Handed Fighting Level 19 (Barbarian) Level 20 (Barbarian) Enhancement: Barbarian Damage Boost I Enhancement: Barbarian Damage Boost II Enhancement: Barbarian Damage Boost III Enhancement: Barbarian Damage Boost IV Enhancement: Barbarian Improved Damage Reduction I Enhancement: Barbarian Extend Rage I Enhancement: Barbarian Extend Rage II Enhancement: Barbarian Extend Rage III Enhancement: Barbarian Extra Rage I Enhancement: Barbarian Extra Rage II Enhancement: Barbarian Extra Rage III Enhancement: Barbarian Hardy Rage I Enhancement: Barbarian Hardy Rage II Enhancement: Barbarian Hardy Rage III Enhancement: Barbarian Intimidation Enhancement: Barbarian Power Attack I Enhancement: Barbarian Power Attack II Enhancement: Barbarian Power Attack III Enhancement: Barbarian Power Rage I Enhancement: Barbarian Power Rage II Enhancement: Barbarian Power Rage III Enhancement: Barbarian Power Rage IV Enhancement: Barbarian Frenzied Berserker I Enhancement: Barbarian Frenzied Berserker II Enhancement: Barbarian Frenzied Berserker III Enhancement: Barbarian Might Enhancement: Racial Toughness I Enhancement: Racial Toughness II Enhancement: Improved Intimidate I Enhancement: Improved Intimidate II Enhancement: Improved Intimidate III Enhancement: Improved Intimidate IV Enhancement: Barbarian Constitution I Enhancement: Barbarian Constitution II Enhancement: Barbarian Constitution III Enhancement: Barbarian Toughness I Enhancement: Barbarian Toughness II
Also keep in mind that he is not designed to be UberMax DPS or what not. He's more of a comedic relief character that could be really fun to play.
