Half Orc Beefcake Build

[Sani_Medicor]

The original Beefcake build is a 12Brd/6Ftr/2Rog twf dwarf that uses dwarven axes. I had considered making a thf version of the build with great axes, but the introduction of half orcs makes that idea obsolete. Have fun!

I just came back to the game and I'm thinking of making this build. I got the level 7 vet status, so I could level to 8 and use a stone of experience. I have a level 16 bard on another server I'm planning to transfer for gear. Any significant changes to the game that would negatively affect the build?

On second thought, would I be better off reincarnating my original bard into this build, instead of having two similar high level bards? I have two level 9's that I could do the level 16 thing with...

Ultimate Elven Build
Horc Radiant Berserker

Any advice for a returning player?
